Description

Separation method and device for coupled alkane catalytic dehydrogenation reaction products
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemical separation, in particular to a separation method and a separation device for a coupled alkane catalytic dehydrogenation reaction product.
Background
The alkane can be subjected to dehydrogenation reaction in the presence of the catalyst to generate olefin and hydrogen with higher added values. Among the various olefins, propylene is an important petrochemical base stock. The method is mainly used for producing tens of petrochemical products and raw materials such as polypropylene, propylene oxide, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, alkylate, high-octane gasoline blending materials and the like. In recent years, the demand of propylene in China continues to increase rapidly due to the rapid development of various chemical products downstream of propylene.
Propylene has long been derived mainly from naphtha steam cracking processes and petroleum refining catalytic cracking processes. In recent years, in the background of the growing demand of propylene downstream markets, some new and economical technologies for producing propylene have attracted attention and have been successfully industrialized. Including Methanol To Olefins (MTO), methanol To Propylene (MTP), olefin Cracking (OCP), and propane dehydrogenation to Propylene (PDH). Among the above various processes for producing propylene, propane dehydrogenation, which uses propane for the directional production of propylene, has achieved great success due to its simple process flow and excellent economy. In recent years, more than twenty propane dehydrogenation devices are newly built and put into production in China, and the produced propylene has a scale of more than 1200 ten thousand tons/year. Thus, propane dehydrogenation technology is currently the most competitive propylene production process, and market share is expanding.
The dehydrogenation reaction product of propane is mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon three, and small amounts of methane, carbon two, nitrogen and the like. Methane and part of carbon two come from byproducts of propane dehydrogenation, part of carbon two comes from raw material propane, and nitrogen comes from a regeneration process. The reactor outlet material is cooled, compressed and dried, then enters a separation system, the mixture of propylene and unreacted propane is gradually condensed in a cold box, and propylene and recycled propane are recovered in a downstream rectifying unit and returned to the reactor. Since the propane dehydrogenation reaction product contains a large amount of hydrogen, it is necessary to separate hydrogen from carbon three at cryogenic temperatures. After the hydrogen-rich gas is reheated, the pure hydrogen product is obtained through PSA purification, and the tail gas absorbed by the PSA is used as fuel gas for transmission.
The separation process of the existing industrialized propane dehydrogenation reaction product adopts a low-temperature cryogenic process to realize the separation of light components and carbon three, and the reaction product is cooled to-95 to-125 ℃ step by step in a plate-fin heat exchanger. According to the composition difference of reaction products of different processes, double expansion refrigeration or external single component refrigeration is generally adopted to obtain the cold quantity required by separation, the process is relatively complex, and the recovery rate of the carbon three is limited by the condition of the reaction products or the minimum refrigeration temperature obtained by external refrigeration. The energy consumption and the investment of equipment of the whole separation device are quite high. In addition, the carbon three product obtained by the separation system necessarily contains a certain amount of hydrogen and carbon two, and the separation of polymerization grade propylene and propane can be realized only by sending the light components separated by the deethanizer to the propylene tower. At present, the partial condensation of the gas phase at the top of the deethanizer is realized by independently configuring a set of refrigerating units to provide cold energy with temperature matched with the temperature level at the top of the deethanizer. The whole separation system is complex in unit, and high requirements are placed on stable operation of the device.

For convenience of explanation, the propane dehydrogenation reaction products are taken as examples, but most of alkane dehydrogenation reaction products are actually used in the separation method and device of the alkane catalytic dehydrogenation reaction products.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following technical advantages:
1) Saving the energy consumption of separation: the process flow of the invention achieves the aim of saving separation energy consumption by adopting the following points: 1. the product of the propane dehydrogenation reactor is gradually condensed in a cold box system and then is subjected to multiple extraction, the product enters a separation tank, a liquid-phase product is separated, and a gas phase returns to the cold box to be further condensed and then enters a next-stage separation tank. The design can play a role in reducing separation energy consumption, and reduce energy required by an external refrigeration cycle system; 2. the reaction raw material propane is mixed with circulating gas (hydrogen-rich gas) at a plurality of positions and then throttled and gasified to generate cold energy, the cold energy of the raw material is brought into a cold box system, and the cold energy required to be provided by an external refrigeration circulating system is reduced; 3. introducing tail gas of the deethanizer into a cold box system, generating low temperature through cooling and throttling, providing cold energy for a separation system, and saving the energy consumption of separation; 4. the mixed refrigerant is adopted for refrigeration, the temperature difference is ensured to be smaller in the whole heat transfer process, the accurate matching of the condensation demand refrigeration capacity of the reaction product and the refrigeration generation refrigeration capacity can be realized, the goals of 'refrigeration capacity matching and equivalent temperature level' are realized, and the irreversibility of the heat transfer process are reducedAnd loss, and finally, the aim of reducing the separation energy consumption is fulfilled.
2) Reducing the loss of carbon three in the hydrogen-rich gas: during the separation of the propane dehydrogenation reaction product, the final cryogenic temperature of the reaction product has a positive correlation with the loss of carbon three. The invention adopts the mixed refrigerant as the refrigerant of the cryogenic refrigeration cycle system, can reach the expected cryogenic temperature through the selection and the optimization of the composition of the components of the refrigerant formula, and can break through the limit of the lowest refrigeration temperature of ethylene refrigeration and generate the refrigeration capacity of the temperature below-100 ℃ compared with the existing refrigeration cycle adopting the ethylene single refrigerant, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the loss rate of the three-carbon products. Compared with the existing refrigeration process adopting double expansion, the method can break through the refrigeration temperature of the expander to generate lower temperature than that of the expander process, and the purpose of reducing the loss rate of the three-carbon products is achieved.
3) The equipment and the flow are more compact, and the investment is reduced: compared with the existing flow, the method has the advantages that the refrigeration capacity of the condenser at the top of the deethanizer is integrated into the precooling refrigeration cycle system, a refrigerating unit can be prevented from being independently arranged, the flow is more simplified and compact, the equipment investment of the whole propane dehydrogenation device is reduced, and the economical efficiency is improved. In addition, if the pre-cooling and the deep cooling of the technical scheme adopt the mixed refrigerant refrigeration cycle system to provide cold energy for the separation system, the power consumption of the two compressors can be equivalent by adjusting the respective refrigerant formulas of the two refrigeration cycle systems, and the power devices with the same specification can be adopted, so that the complete difficulty and the running operation cost of the compressor unit are reduced, and the overall economy and the operability of the device are improved.
4) The cold box system operates more steadily: the raw propane is subjected to multistage distribution in the cold box system according to a certain temperature grade matching principle, so that the complete gasification of the propane in the cold box system is ensured, and the cold energy is provided; avoiding the malignant circulation of the un-gasified propane accumulated in the runner to submerge the runner, resulting in reduced heat exchange area and reduced gasification rate, and finally resulting in shutdown of the separation system.
5) The process is more environment-friendly: the refrigeration capacity of the raw material propane and the tail gas at the top of the deethanizer is coupled in the traditional refrigeration cycle system, so that the refrigeration capacity required to be provided by the external refrigeration cycle system is reduced, and the quantity of the refrigerant is reduced; when the device is parked, the discharge amount of the torch is reduced, the generated greenhouse gas amount is reduced, and the discharge time is shorter, so that the process is more environment-friendly. Meanwhile, the design load of a torch system can be reduced due to the reduction of the discharge quantity, and equipment investment and occupied area are reduced.

Detailed Description
The method and the device for separating the coupled propane dehydrogenation reaction product provided in the embodiment can be realized by adopting the following technical scheme:
the reaction product gas at the outlet of the propane dehydrogenation reactor enters a separation system after being pretreated by cooling, compressing, purifying, filtering and the like, is pumped out to enter a gas-liquid separation tank for gas-liquid separation after being cooled in a cold box system of the separation system, and the gas phase continuously enters the cold box system for cooling to the next stage of gas-liquid separation until reaching the expected cooling temperature and meeting the recovery rate requirement of the carbon three products. The top gas phase (hydrogen-rich gas) of the final-stage separation tank is divided into two material flows of dry gas and circulating gas, the circulating gas is required to be mixed with fresh propane according to a certain hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio through M stages (M is less than or equal to N), and the mixture is subjected to throttle evaporation in a cold box system to provide cooling capacity, and the cooled mixture is sent out of a separation system boundary zone after reheating and enters a reactor; the dry gas is sent out of the boundary region after reheating. If the preset hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio is zero, no recycle gas is required and the fresh propane only needs to be throttled and vaporized in the pre-cooling section. The tail gas at the top of the deethanizer is cooled to the temperature of the N-stage separation by a heat exchanger in a multi-stage cold box system, throttled and returned to the cold box system, and sent out of the separation system boundary region after reheating. The tank bottom liquid of each level of gas-liquid separation tank returns to the cold box system for reheating by utilizing the pressure of the tank bottom liquid and enters the liquid product tank after summarized, and then enters the deethanizer for realizing the separation of hydrogen/carbon one/carbon two and carbon three after being pumped into the cold box system for reheating. The tail gas from the top of the deethanizer enters a cold box system, is throttled and depressurized after being cooled in multiple stages, returns to the cold box system for reheating to provide cold, and is sent out of the boundary region. After the flash gas generated by the liquid product tank is condensed by adopting the falling film heat exchanger, the gas phase enters a reheating outlet area of the cold box system, and the condensed liquid phase (mainly carbon three) flows back to the liquid product tank due to self gravity.
The cold box system (plate-fin heat exchanger) is one of the key equipment of the separation system, comprises a heat exchange core body, matched pipelines, meters and other components, mainly meets the heat exchange requirement of multiple streams, and has the advantages of compact structure and high heat exchange efficiency. Part of the cold energy of the separation system is derived from the throttling evaporation of a mixture of fresh propane raw material feed and hydrogen-rich gas in the cold box system, and the other part of the cold energy is provided by an external refrigeration cycle system, and in addition, the tail gas at the top of the deethanizer is introduced into the cold box system, and low temperature is generated through cooling and throttling, so that the cold energy is provided for the separation system. In order to simplify the flow and reduce the investment and energy consumption, the external refrigeration cycle system consists of two independent refrigeration cycle systems, namely a precooling system and a cryogenic system, and the external refrigeration cycle system basically comprises the following components: a refrigeration cycle compressor, a matched suction tank, a pipeline, a pipe fitting, a control instrument, a heat exchanger and the like. The precooling refrigeration cycle system can adopt a single component as a refrigerant, and can also adopt a mixed refrigerant consisting of two or more components of ammonia, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, butane and pentane. The cryogenic refrigeration cycle system adopts a multi-component mixture as a mixed refrigerant, and the formula of the mixed refrigerant can be as follows: nitrogen, methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, butane, and combinations of two or more thereof. The precooling refrigeration cycle system mainly bears the cold energy supplement from the raw material inlet temperature to minus 15 ℃ to minus 65 ℃, and part of cold energy is also used for condensing mixed refrigerant of the cryogenic cycle system and providing cold energy for a deethanizer top condenser and a falling film condenser on the top of a liquid product tank; the cryogenic refrigeration cycle system mainly bears the refrigeration quantity supplement from the refrigeration temperature of the precooling end to minus 95 ℃ to minus 160 ℃, and can also be the refrigeration quantity supplement from the raw material inlet temperature to minus 95 ℃ to minus 160 ℃. The refrigerant of the refrigeration cycle system is gasified back to the compressor of each refrigeration cycle system after reheating and absorbing the heat released by the cooling of the reaction product in the cold box system, and then compressed and cooled and throttled to form low-temperature refrigerant to enter the cold box system to provide cold energy, thus completing the refrigeration cycle.
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings and specific examples.

The flow distribution ratio of propane at the mixing point in the order of the temperature from high to low is about: 7:2:0.7:0.3, wherein 90% of the fresh propane flow is allocated to the pre-cooling section. The liquid phase products separated by each level of gas-liquid separation tank are collected to a carbon three product tank V-105, flash gas at the top of the carbon three product tank V-105 is condensed by a falling film condenser E-201, flash gas which is not condensed is sent out of a boundary region after being reheated by plate-fin heat exchangers EX-102 and EX-101 in sequence, the condensed liquid flows back to the carbon three product tank V-105 due to self gravity, and finally is pressurized to the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-101 by a carbon three product pump P-101A/B to be reheated to 35 ℃ and then is sent into a deethanizer for hydrogen/carbon one/carbon two and carbon three separation.
The refrigeration capacity required to be provided outside the separation system is obtained by adopting two refrigeration cycle systems of propylene precooling and mixed refrigerant deep cooling. The propylene pre-cooling refrigeration cycle system can provide propylene refrigerant with two temperature levels of-41 ℃ and-15 ℃, wherein the propylene refrigerant with the temperature of-15 ℃ is used by a deethanizer condenser, and the propylene refrigerant with the temperature of-41 ℃ is used by a plate fin heat exchanger EX-102 and a falling film condenser E-201 on the top of a carbon three product tank V-105. The propylene refrigerating compressor adopts a centrifugal type, the outlet pressure is 1.77MPaG, and the outlet gas-phase propylene is cooled to 43 ℃ through circulating cooling water.
The mixed refrigerant cryogenic refrigeration cycle system adopts methane, ethylene and propane as refrigerants, and after the mixed refrigerant compressor is pressurized to 2.19MPaG, the mixed refrigerant is cooled to 43 ℃ by cooling circulating water, and then enters plate-fin heat exchangers EX-101 and EX-102 in sequence, and after being precooled to-38 ℃, the mixed refrigerant enters a gas-liquid separation tank V-201. The tank top gas-phase refrigerant sequentially enters the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-103 and the EX-104 to be cooled to the final separation temperature and then throttled to 320KPaG, then enters the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-104 for reheating, and is mixed with tank bottom liquid-phase refrigerant cooled by the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-103 to enter the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-103 for reheating to the temperature of minus 40 ℃ and then enters a mixed refrigerant refrigerating compressor suction tank to be compressed to the outlet pressure, thus completing the refrigerating cycle.

Dry gas is obtained at the top of a final-stage gas-liquid separation tank V-104 and sequentially returns to plate-fin heat exchange EX-104, EX103, EX-102 and EX-101, and is sent out of a boundary region after being reheated to 15 ℃; since the preset hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio is zero, the fresh propane feed is withdrawn 80% after being pre-cooled to-8 ℃ by EX-101, mixed with propane after being cooled to-37 ℃ by EX-102 and returned to EX-102 for reheating, and sent out of the boundary zone after being reheated to 33 ℃ by EX-101, wherein 100% of the fresh propane flow is distributed to the pre-cooling section. The tail gas at the top of the deethanizer is cooled to-122 ℃ in multiple stages through a cold box system, throttled to 285KPaG, returned to the cold box system, reheated to 33 ℃ and sent out of the cold box system.
In this embodiment, the reaction product gas undergoes four gas-liquid separations altogether, and the fourth-stage separation tank does not generate circulating gas because the preset hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio is zero, and the raw propane is vaporized by two stages in the pre-cooling stage. The flow distribution ratio of propane in two places in the order from high to low temperature is about: 8:2. The liquid phase products separated by each level of gas-liquid separation tank are collected to a carbon three product tank V-105, flash gas at the top of the carbon three product tank V-105 is condensed by a falling film condenser E-201, flash gas which is not condensed is sent out of a boundary region after being reheated by plate-fin heat exchangers EX-102 and EX-101 in sequence, the condensed liquid flows back to the carbon three product tank V-105 due to self gravity, and finally is pressurized to a plate-fin heat exchanger EX-101 by a carbon three product pump P-101A/B, and is sent to a deethanizer for hydrogen/carbon one/carbon two and carbon three separation after being reheated to 33 ℃.
The refrigeration capacity required to be provided outside the separation system is obtained by adopting two refrigeration cycle systems of propylene precooling and mixed refrigerant deep cooling.

Dry gas and circulating gas are obtained at the top of a final-stage gas-liquid separation tank V-103, wherein the dry gas sequentially returns to plate-fin heat exchange EX-103, EX-102 and EX-101, and is sent out of a boundary region after reheating to 35 ℃; the circulating gas and fresh propane feed are mixed at the inlet of each stage of plate-fin heat exchanger along the direction of the circulating gas input into the cold box system, and then are reheated to 40 ℃ by the plate-fin heat exchangers EX-103, EX-102 and EX-101 and then are sent out of the boundary region.

Example 4
The flow of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1, as shown in fig. 5, except that:
the flow distribution ratio of propane in the order from high to low is: 6:2.5:1:0.5, wherein 85% of the fresh propane flow is allocated to the pre-cooling section. The gas phase in the separation system enters a plate-fin heat exchanger EX-104 to be cooled to minus 138 ℃ and then enters a gas-liquid separation tank V-104.

The energy consumption of the pre-cooling refrigeration cycle compressor can also be reduced as compared to embodiments 1 and 2.
Example 5
Example 5 as shown in fig. 6, the procedure is substantially identical to example 4, with the main difference that:
the flow distribution ratio of propane in the order from high to low is: 3.2:2.8:2.2:1.8, wherein 60% of the fresh propane flow is allocated to the pre-cooling section. The gas phase in the separation system enters a plate-fin heat exchanger EX-104 to be cooled to minus 148 ℃ and then enters a gas-liquid separation tank V-104. The tail gas at the top of the deethanizer is cooled to-148 ℃ in multiple stages through a cold box system, throttled to 310KPaG, returned to the cold box system, reheated to 35 ℃ and sent out of the cold box system. The precooling refrigeration cycle system adopts a mixed refrigerant of ethylene, propylene and pentane. And (3) cooling the precooling mixed compressor to 45 ℃ by using an outlet water cooler, sequentially entering into a plate-fin heat exchanger EX-101 and an EX-102, condensing and cooling to-55 ℃, then reducing the pressure to 175kPaG by using a throttle, returning to the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-102 and the EX-101, reheating to normal temperature, entering into a first-stage suction tank of the precooling mixed compressor, and then performing two-stage compression to 2.15MPaG to complete the refrigeration cycle.
Methane, ethylene and propylene are adopted as refrigerants in the cryogenic refrigeration cycle system, after the cryogenic mixed refrigerant is pressurized to 2.38MPaG by a compressor, the refrigerant is cooled to 45 ℃ by cooling circulating water, and then the refrigerant enters plate-fin heat exchangers EX-101 and EX-102 in sequence, is precooled to-55 ℃ and then enters a gas-liquid separation tank V-201. The tank top gas-phase refrigerant sequentially enters the plate-fin heat exchangers EX-103 and EX-104 to be cooled to minus 148 ℃ and throttled to 335KPaG, then enters the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-104 for reheating, is mixed with tank bottom liquid-phase refrigerant cooled by the plate-fin heat exchanger EX-103, sequentially passes through the fin heat exchangers EX-103, EX-102 and EX-101 for reheating to 27 ℃, then enters the mixed refrigerant refrigerating compressor to be sucked into the tank, and is compressed to the outlet pressure, thus the refrigeration cycle is completed.
The precooling circulation system of the embodiment adopts mixed refrigerant, and can reduce the irreversibility and the heat transfer process by reducing the temperature difference in the precooling heat transfer processThe loss is reduced, the energy consumption of the pre-cooling circulating compressor is reduced, and the gain effect of reducing the energy consumption of the whole separation device is achieved.
Meanwhile, in the specific embodiment, by adopting the double-circulation mixed refrigerant for refrigeration and adjusting the formulas of the two sets of mixed refrigerants, the power consumption of the two mixed refrigerant compressors is consistent, so that the power devices with the same specification can be matched, and the gain effects of reducing the complete difficulty of the compressor unit and the running operation difficulty are achieved.
Comparative example 1
The separation scheme and apparatus for the propane dehydrogenation reaction product shown in FIG. 7 was used, and the constitution of the separation apparatus was kept the same as in example 1.
The process parameters of comparative example 1 were also consistent with those of example 1, with the main differences: 1. comparative example 1 did not employ the design of a multiple-point mixed throttling evaporation of fresh feed propane and recycle gas; 2. comparative example 1 does not employ design of deethanizer overhead tail gas temperature reduction throttling and reheat to provide refrigeration to the separation system.
The shaft power of the two refrigeration compressors in example 1 versus comparative example 1 is compared as follows:
unit (B) Comparative example 1 Example 1
Precooling cycle compressor shaft power kW 9235 2455
Cryogenic cycle compressor shaft power kW 2471 1765
Total load of refrigeration cycle cooler MW 28.95 10.43
As can be seen from the comparison, in comparative example 1, since the cold energy of the raw propane and the tail gas from the top of the deethanizer is not coupled into the separation system, the shaft power of the two external refrigeration compressors is larger than that in example 1, and the total load of the refrigeration cycle cooler is also much larger than that in example 1, which shows that example 1 has great advantages in saving the energy consumption of the separation system.
