Background
Refinery dry gas, such as delayed coker dry gas, aromatics complex dry gas, etc., is derived from the secondary processing of crude oil. The dry gas typically contains a significant amount of ethane, e.g., from about 10 to about 24 mole percent ethane in the coker dry gas, and from about 25 to about 70 mole percent ethane in the aromatics complex dry gas, e.g., PX plant dry gas. At present, refinery dry gas is mainly used as fuel to be burnt, and the utilization value is low. If the ethane component in the dry gas is concentrated and sent to an ethane cracking furnace of an ethylene device to be used as a raw material, the economic benefit and the social benefit are very obvious. Because the cracking performance of the ethane component in the raw material of the ethane cracking furnace of the ethylene unit is better than that of the propane component, the ethane purity of the ethane-rich gas obtained by recovery is improved as much as possible, and the content of the three components of hydrogen, methane and carbon is reduced.
At present, methods for recovering a carbon dioxide component from refinery dry gas mainly comprise a cryogenic separation method, a pressure swing adsorption method, a shallow cold oil absorption method and the like, and various methods have characteristics. The cryogenic separation method has mature process, high ethylene recovery rate and purity, but large investment, and higher energy consumption for recovering the dilute ethylene; the pressure swing adsorption method has simple operation, low energy consumption, low product purity, low ethylene recovery rate and large occupied area.
The shallow cold oil absorption method mainly separates gas mixture by utilizing different solubility of absorbent to each component in gas, generally, heavy components above C2 and C2 are absorbed by the absorbent firstly, noncondensable gases such as methane, hydrogen and the like are separated, and then each component in the absorbent is separated by a rectification method. The method has the characteristics of high recovery rate of C2 and C3, safe production, reliable operation, strong adaptability to raw material gas and the like, and is one of the existing competitive technologies. However, the carbon content of the product carbon two concentrated gas obtained by separation by the shallow cold oil absorption method is generally higher due to the influence of the composition of the raw material gas. If the content of the carbon three in the product gas is further reduced, a method of adding an ethylene rectifying tower is adopted to separate out propane and propylene. In the process, the operation temperature of part of process material flow is lower than 0 ℃, a propylene refrigeration compressor is required to provide low-temperature cold energy, and a dryer is also required to be arranged in the process flow to prevent freezing and blocking, so that the equipment investment and the device energy consumption are high.
CN101063048A discloses a method for separating refinery dry gas by adopting an intercooled oil absorption method, which comprises the steps of compression, acid gas removal, drying and purification, absorption, desorption, cold quantity recovery, rough separation and the like, and has the advantages of low absorbent cost, low loss and the like. However, the process needs to cool the dry gas to-30 ℃ to-40 ℃, which belongs to an intercooling separation process, so the investment is large and the energy consumption is high.
CN101759518B discloses a device and a method for separating dry gas by an oil absorption method, wherein the method comprises the steps of carbon four absorption, carbon four desorption, gasoline absorption and the like, carbon four is adopted as an absorbent, and carbon two and carbon three fractions in the dry gas are recovered. And recovering carbon four in the tail gas by adopting a gasoline absorbent. The carbon dioxide recovery rate of the process is high, but the pressure of the desorption tower is low, the carbon dioxide and the carbon three components cannot be separated within the operation range (the temperature is above 0 ℃), the concentration of the carbon three in the product gas is influenced by the relative content of the carbon three in the raw material, the circulation amount of the carbon four absorbent is large, and the energy consumption of the device is influenced.
CN103588604B discloses a system and a method for recovering carbon two in refinery dry gas by a combined absorption method, which comprises a compressor, a pretreatment unit, a refinery dry gas cooling unit, a combined absorption unit and a rectification unit. In the process, mixed carbon four or mixed carbon five is used as an absorbent for carbon two absorption, and the desorbed carbon two concentrated gas is sent to an ethylene rectifying tower for separation to obtain an ethylene product and an ethane product. The process can control the content of C three and above components in ethylene products, but needs a propylene refrigeration compressor to provide propylene cold energy at the temperature of-40 ℃, and needs a drying system to remove water in dry gas to prevent freezing and blocking because the process material flow temperature is lower than-35 ℃.
Therefore, when the carbon two components in the refinery dry gas are recovered and purified, in order to reduce the content of the carbon three in the product gas, the existing refinery dry gas recovery process needs a propylene refrigeration compressor unit to provide low-temperature cold energy, and needs a drying system to remove moisture in the dry gas or the intermediate product gas to prevent freezing and blocking, so that the investment is large and the energy consumption is high.
In conclusion, the existing method for recovering the refinery dry gas is not easy to separate the carbon dioxide and the carbon in the dry gas, and low-temperature cold energy is needed, so that the problems of high investment, high energy consumption and large circulation amount of the carbon four absorbent are caused.

Through the oil absorption-desorption process, the separation of the methane and the hydrogen in the aromatic hydrocarbon dry gas and the coking dry gas from the carbon dioxide component is realized. Due to the characteristics of high separation efficiency of C1 and C2 and high recovery rate of C2 in the oil absorption process, the process can ensure the carbon two yield and the methane-hydrogen separation efficiency.
(2) Partial carbon two and more than three carbon components in the aromatic hydrocarbon dry gas are directly sent into the desorption tower in a condensate form, and compared with a typical shallow cold oil absorption process that the dry gas in CN101759518B completely enters the absorption tower, the circulating carbon four and the load of a reboiler of the absorption tower are reduced without a carbon four absorption process.
(3) Compared with the typical shallow cold oil absorption process of CN101759518B, the pressure of the desorption tower is increased to 3.0-4.0MPaG, the temperature of the tower top can be controlled to be above 10 ℃, the carbon and the carbon are separated, the condenser at the tower top is cooled by refrigerant water, and a propylene refrigeration system or a pre-separation tower is not used. The pressure of a desorption tower in the CN101759518B process is low (2.0-3.0 MPaG), carbon dioxide and carbon cannot be completely separated at the temperature of 5-15 ℃ at the top of the tower, a lower-temperature refrigerant such as a propylene refrigerant is needed, and a dryer is needed.
(4) The carbon four-fraction is used as an absorbent to absorb the carbon two in the dry gas in the absorption tower, and the raw material of the absorbent is easy to obtain and the cost is low;
(5) in the method, the minimum temperature of the absorption and rectification operation is 5-15 ℃, a propylene refrigeration compressor is not needed, a lithium bromide refrigeration unit can be selected to provide cold energy, a drying system is not needed, the cost is reduced, the operation is simple, and the energy consumption is low;

Comparative example 2
Taking the coking dry gas from the delayed coking unit of the refinery and the aromatic dry gas from the aromatics complex as examples, the process is compared with the typical shallow cold oil absorption process of CN101759518B and the flow of the shallow cold oil absorption + pre-fractionating tower process under the same feeding conditions (see example 1) and the requirement of carbon two recovery, and is summarized in Table 6 in combination with comparative example 1.
TABLE 6
As can be seen from Table 6, the minimum temperature of the process stream in the process is 5-15 ℃, the propylene refrigeration capacity at a low temperature position is not needed, a propylene refrigeration system and a drying system are not needed, and the content of more than three carbon components in the product gas is low. Compared with the typical shallow cold oil absorption process, the method reduces the circulation amount of the carbon four absorbent and the reboiler load of the absorption tower, and has low energy consumption and low equipment investment in the whole process.
