Description

Membrane separation reinforced pressure swing adsorption hydrogen purification process for refinery gas with high hydrogen content
Technical Field
The invention relates to a membrane separation enhanced pressure swing adsorption hydrogen purification process for refinery gas with high hydrogen content (more than 75 vol%), belonging to the field of petrochemical industry. According to the process, an organic steam membrane separation unit is introduced into a pretreatment system of the pressure swing adsorption device, heavy hydrocarbon components of five or more carbons are efficiently and deeply removed, the regeneration condition of the adsorbent is improved, the service life of the adsorbent is prolonged, and the long-term operation stability of the adsorption device is improved; introducing a hydrogen membrane separation unit into the post-treatment system, and further recovering low-concentration hydrogen in the organic vapor membrane permeation gas and the pressure swing adsorption tail gas. The pressure swing adsorption purification process of the refinery gas with high hydrogen content and enhanced membrane separation has lower hydrogen separation and purification cost by prolonging the service life of the adsorbent and improving the hydrogen recovery rate.
Background
Crude oil deterioration (high acid, high sulfur and heavy weight) is more serious, and the requirement on cleanliness of fuel products is higher, which are two major challenges facing the global refining industry in recent years. To address these challenges, hydrogenation techniques such as hydrocracking, residuum hydrogenation, coal-diesel hydrogenation, gasoline hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, hydrosaturation, and the like, are increasingly being employed in refinery processes. The hydrogen consumption level for processing crude oil into qualified refinery products is about 200Nm as calculated by the average level of global refining at the present stage3T crude oil. The cost of hydrogen production has inevitably become the second largest cost expenditure of refinery business to crude oil. Meanwhile, a large amount of refinery gas with high hydrogen content is also produced as a byproduct in the refining process, for example, the hydrogen content of the catalytic reforming tail gas exceeds 90 vol%, the hydrogen content of the diesel hydrogenation tail gas can reach 88 vol%, the hydrogen content of the residual oil hydrogenation low-molecular gas can reach 80 vol%, and the hydrogen content of the hydrocracking low-molecular gas can reach 75 vol%. In view of large-scale consumption of hydrogen in the modern oil refining process, the efficient and low-cost recovery of hydrogen in refinery gas becomes an important way for greatly reducing the oil refining cost and improving the production competitiveness of refinery enterprises.
Pressure swing adsorption is the main means of separating and purifying hydrogen by taking high-hydrogen-content refinery gas as raw material at present, and products with hydrogen concentration more than 99 vol% can be obtained in most cases. The most typical application of pressure swing adsorption is the separation and purification of catalytic reforming tail gas, which has become the standard configuration and main source for obtaining hydrogen by most refining enterprises. In recent years, many domestic refinery enterprises gradually use the high-hydrogen-content refinery gas as a byproduct of devices for diesel hydrogenation, gasoline hydrogenation, wax oil hydrogenation, residual oil hydrogenation, hydrocracking and the like as a raw material for pressure swing adsorption, and the economic benefit is very considerable. However, pressure swing adsorption units often face two key bottlenecks in processing high hydrogen content refinery gases: 1) the refinery gas contains more heavy hydrocarbon components of five carbon atoms and above, is difficult to regenerate and desorb after being adsorbed, is easy to cause the failure of the adsorbent after long-term accumulation, has short service life, and obviously increases the operation and maintenance cost of the adsorption device; 2) the tail gas of the pressure swing adsorption contains a large amount of hydrogen, the content of the hydrogen generally exceeds 50 vol%, and even exceeds 65 vol% when the performance of the adsorbent is attenuated. Due to the aboveFor this reason, the separation and purification of hydrogen from refinery gas with high hydrogen content by pressure swing adsorption is costly. Taking the separation of the catalytic reforming byproduct tail gas as an example, the converted hydrogen separation cost exceeds 0.10kgEO/Nm3Hydrogen gas. In summary, one of the key points of the improvement of the pressure swing adsorption hydrogen purification device for refinery gas with high hydrogen content is how to prolong the service life of the adsorbent and improve the hydrogen recovery rate.
