Abstract

1,181,989. Separating gaseous hydrocarbons. CONTINENTAL OIL. CO. 20 Sept., 1967 [9 Dec., 1966], No. 32870/67. Heading B1L. [Also in Division C5] Ethane and ethylene are removed from hydrocarbon feed streams 1, e.g. natural gas, by passing the feed to and through hot desorbed adsorption bed 4, whereby the bed is cooled and the effluent gas, from which ethane and ethylene has been removed until the bed is saturated, is heated. Displaced gas passes by lines 10, 14, 16 and 31, blower 22, line 23, heat exchanger 27, line 23, heater 24 (which may be bypassed), and lines 25, 7 and 9 to bed 5, displacing the gas therein through lines 11, 13 and 26 to residue. While bed 4 is in the adsorption phase, hot gas is passed from heater 24, through lines 25, 7 and 9 to bed 5 to desorb sorbate, while effluent from bed 4 passes to residue through lines 12 and 26. Desorbate from bed 5 circulates in a closed path through lines 11, 15, 31, blower 22, line 23, heater 24 and thence back as described above to bed 5 until the pressure in the closed circuit rises to a predetermined level, when the circulating product gas is bled off through lines 32 and 33. When bed 4 is saturated, the functions of beds 4 and 5 are interchanged. If the product is condensable, the circuit is modified to include a cooler-condenser and separator (see Fig. 2, not shown) in the closed desorption circuit before the circulating product is reheated and passed back to the bed being desorbed.
