Description
本発明は、例えば低沸点の炭化水素の脱水素の際に、しかし、C1〜C4の範囲内の別の分離という課題の際にも低沸点成分を炭化水素流から分離するため、殊にC2画分を目的生成物として望ましいC3 +画分から分離するための方法および装置に関する。 The present invention is, for example, when the low-boiling dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, however, since even when the problem of another separation in the range of C 1 -C 4 separating the low-boiling components from the hydrocarbon stream, Koto And relates to a method and apparatus for separating the C 2 fraction from the desired C 3 + fraction as the desired product.
通常、このような分離は、所謂"コールドボックス"と蒸留塔との組合せにより実施される。蒸留塔は、デエタナイザー(Deethanizer)として運転され、エタンの沸点より低いかまたはエタンの沸点に等しい沸点を有する全ての物質がこのデエタナイザー中で塔頂部を介して分離されるので、このように呼ばれる。 Such separation is usually carried out by a combination of so-called “cold boxes” and distillation columns. The distillation column is operated as a Deethanizer and is so called because all substances having a boiling point below or equal to the boiling point of ethane are separated through the top of the column in the deethanizer.
使用混合物は、コールドボックス中への侵入前に最初に約−25℃に冷却される。その際生じる凝縮物は、直接デエタナイザー中に導入される。凝縮されていない蒸気は、コールドボックス内でさらに約−90℃に冷却され、この場合、こうして生じる生成物に富んだ凝縮物は、熱交換後に同様にデエタナイザーに導かれる。従って、コールドボックスは、一段階の粗製分離である。 The use mixture is first cooled to about −25 ° C. before entering the cold box. The resulting condensate is introduced directly into the deethanizer. The non-condensed vapor is further cooled to about −90 ° C. in the cold box, in which case the product-rich condensate thus produced is likewise led to a deethanizer after heat exchange. The cold box is therefore a one-stage crude separation.
本質的に凝縮不可能な成分、例えば水素を含有する残留蒸気相は、熱交換後にコールドボックス中に侵入する流れに放圧される。この場合、ジュール−トムソン効果に基づいて、低沸点物は、約−110℃に冷却される。この温度水準は、コールドボックス中に侵入する流れを一部分凝縮するために利用される。凝縮されていない低沸点物は、本質的にC3 +成分を含有しない。 The remaining vapor phase containing essentially non-condensable components, such as hydrogen, is released into a stream that enters the cold box after heat exchange. In this case, based on the Joule-Thomson effect, the low boilers are cooled to about -110 ° C. This temperature level is used to partially condense the stream entering the cold box. Non-condensed low boilers are essentially free of C 3 + components.
最終的に生成物に富んだ全ての凝縮物相は、固有の微細分離のためにデエタナイザー中に導入され、このデエタナイザー中で残りの低沸点物は、高沸点の成分と分離される。このために、塔の塔頂部で約−20℃の温度が必要とされる。 Ultimately all the product-rich condensate phase is introduced into the deethanizer for inherent fine separation, in which the remaining low boilers are separated from the high boiling components. For this, a temperature of about −20 ° C. is required at the top of the column.
コールドボックスの運転のため、およびデエタナイザーの冷却のために、コールドボックスの前方で使用混合物を冷却するための冷却剤として、蒸発性のプロパンまたはプロペンが−30℃で使用されうる。 Evaporable propane or propene can be used at −30 ° C. as a coolant for cooling the use mixture in front of the cold box for cold box operation and for deethanizer cooling.
この種の方法のための冷却剤の製造は、極めて費用がかかる。従って、本発明の課題は、冷却剤の使用量を著しく減少させることができる方法および装置を提供することである。 The production of coolant for this type of process is very expensive. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus that can significantly reduce the amount of coolant used.

前記装置の他の選択可能な実施態様には、蒸留装置が唯一の蒸留塔の形で存在するか、または蒸留装置が複数の蒸留塔を含むカスケードとして存在することが設けられており、この複数の蒸留塔の場合、蒸留塔の間には、それぞれ凝縮器が設けられている。殊に、蒸留装置は、3、4または5個の順次に接続された、それぞれ異なる温度水準を有する凝縮器を有することが設けられていてよい。 Other selectable embodiments of the apparatus are provided in which the distillation apparatus exists in the form of a single distillation column, or the distillation apparatus exists as a cascade comprising a plurality of distillation columns. In the case of this distillation column, a condenser is provided between the distillation columns. In particular, the distillation apparatus may be provided with 3, 4 or 5 sequentially connected condensers each having a different temperature level.
即ち、これまで2つのプロセス工程で達成されたことは、本発明により今や前接続されたコールドボックスなしに1つの工程で実現させることができ、このことは、本発明の1つの利点である。 That is, what has been achieved in two process steps so far can now be realized in one step with the present invention without a pre-connected cold box, which is one advantage of the present invention.
異なる温度水準で作業する多数の凝縮器を蒸留装置を方法に応じて利用することにより、凝縮のための全ての冷却量を最も低い温度水準で、ひいては最も高い費用で準備する必要がないことが達成される。その代わりに、中間凝縮器は、約+45℃、+15℃または−30℃の温度で機能し、このことは、本発明のもう1つの利点である。 By utilizing a number of condensers operating at different temperature levels, depending on the method, it is not necessary to prepare all cooling amounts for condensation at the lowest temperature level and hence at the highest cost. Achieved. Instead, the intermediate condenser functions at a temperature of about + 45 ° C., + 15 ° C. or −30 ° C., which is another advantage of the present invention.
従って、このように使用される限り、塔内で上昇する蒸気の大部分は、塔頂凝縮器への到達前に既に凝縮され、液体として下向きに流れる。塔頂凝縮器の運転に必要とされる冷気水準、約−80℃、および必要とされる凝縮効率は、装置それ自体中での低沸点物の放圧によって形成させることができ、このことは、本発明のもう1つの利点である。 Therefore, as long as it is used in this way, the majority of the vapor rising in the column is already condensed before reaching the top condenser and flows downward as a liquid. The cold air level required for the operation of the overhead condenser, about -80 ° C, and the required condensation efficiency can be formed by the low boiler discharge pressure in the device itself, This is another advantage of the present invention.
次に、本発明は、3つの例で詳細に説明される。 The invention will now be described in detail with three examples.
全部で3つの実施例において、蒸気状の使用混合物1は、例えばアンモニア蒸発器2中で最初に15℃に冷却されることができる。更に、熱交換器3において、取得されたC2画分に対してさらに約10℃に冷却されることができ、その際、蒸気の一部分は、凝縮する。蒸気相5と凝縮液6は、別々に蒸留装置中に到達する。出発混合物の組成に応じて、前記課題は、最も高い温度水準を有する凝縮工程の上方で行なうこともできる。
In all three embodiments, the vaporous use mixture 1 can first be cooled to 15 ° C., for example, in an
図1に示した実施例において、液体は、蒸留塔7中で下向きに流れ、部分的に再び蒸発される。蒸発しなかった部分は、C3 +生成物8として蒸留塔7の塔底から取り出される。低沸点物は、蒸気として上向きに上昇し、装入床上に存在する、2つに分かれて形成された第1の凝縮器9によって一部分が凝縮され、この場合には、冷却剤として順次に冷却水およびアンモニアが使用される。更に、上昇する蒸気は、冷却剤のプロパンまたはプロペンと一緒に運転される第2の凝縮器10中で部分的に液化され、したがって僅かな部分の蒸気だけが塔頂凝縮器11に到達する。塔頂凝縮器11中で凝縮されなかった蒸気は、C2画分12および13を形成し、該画分は、凝縮に続いてエキスパンダ14中で放圧され、その際に前記画分は、約−125℃に冷却される。この冷却された蒸気15は、冷却媒体として塔頂凝縮器11の冷たい側で利用され、この場合には、約−50℃に昇温される。引続き、このC2画分4は、使用混合物1の冷却のためになお熱交換器3を通過する。
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the liquid flows downward in the
図2に示した実施例において、液体は、分離部16中で下向きに流れ、部分的に再び蒸発される。蒸発しなかった部分は、C3 +生成物8として分離部16の塔底から取り出される。蒸気状の低沸点物17は、2つに分かれて形成された第1の凝縮器9中に流入し、そこで一部分が凝縮され、その際に冷却剤として順次に冷却水およびアンモニアが使用される。凝縮液18ならびに蒸気19は、濃縮部20中に供給される。濃縮部20の塔底物の一部分は、分離部16の塔頂装入物21として使用される。更に、上昇する蒸気は、冷却剤のプロパンと一緒に運転される第2の凝縮器10中で部分的に液化され、したがって僅かな部分の蒸気だけが塔頂凝縮器11に到達する。塔頂凝縮器11中で凝縮されなかった蒸気は、C2画分12および13を形成し、該画分は、凝縮に接続されてエキスパンダ14中で放圧され、その際に前記画分は、約−125℃に冷却される。この冷却された蒸気15は、冷却媒体として塔頂凝縮器11の冷たい側で利用され、この場合には、約−50℃に昇温される。引続き、このC2画分4は、使用混合物1の冷却のためになお熱交換器3を通過する。
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the liquid flows downward in the
図3に示した実施例において、液体は、分離部16中で下向きに流れ、部分的に再び蒸発される。蒸発しなかった部分は、C3 +生成物8として分離部16の塔底から取り出される。蒸気状の低沸点物17は、2つに分かれて形成された第1の凝縮器9中に流入し、そこで一部分が凝縮され、その際に冷却剤として順次に冷却水およびアンモニアが使用される。凝縮液18ならびに蒸気19は、第1の濃縮部22中に供給される。第1の濃縮部22の塔底物の一部分は、分離部16の塔頂装入物21として使用される。更に、上昇する蒸気は、冷却剤のプロパンまたはプロペンと一緒に運転される第2の凝縮器10中で部分的に液化され、凝縮液ならびに蒸気は、第2の濃縮部23中に供給される。第2の濃縮部23の塔底物は、第1の濃縮部22の塔頂装入物として使用され、こうして蒸気の微少量分だけが凝縮器11に到達する。塔頂凝縮器11中で凝縮されなかった蒸気は、C2画分12および13を形成し、前記画分は、凝縮に続いてエキスパンダ14中で放圧され、その際に前記画分は、約−125℃に冷却される。この冷却された蒸気15は、冷却媒体として塔頂凝縮器11の冷たい側で利用され、この場合には、約−50℃に昇温される。引続き、このC2画分4は、使用混合物1の冷却のためになお熱交換器3を通過する。
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the liquid flows downward in the
この最後の変法は、先行した方法と比較して、第2の濃縮塔の上部だけが安定した低い温度に形成され、よりいっそう強力な絶縁部を装備しなければならず、熱吸収が阻止されるという利点を有し、このことは、本発明の利点の1つである。 In this last variant, compared to the previous method, only the upper part of the second concentrating tower is formed at a stable low temperature and must be equipped with a stronger insulation, preventing heat absorption. This is one of the advantages of the present invention.
実際に、全部で3つの実施例において、従来の公知技術水準と比較して蒸発器の運転のためによりいっそう大量の熱量が必要とされるが、しかし、この熱量は、約75℃でのみ必要とされ、そのために一般的に装置の複合部の別の処理位置からの廃熱が使用され、さもないとこの廃熱は、費用を掛けて空気冷却器により導出されなければならなかった。このことは、本発明のもう1つの利点である。その上、全体で実際によりいっそう大量の冷却性能が必要とされるが、しかし、熱は、よりいっそう有利な冷却水準で導出されることができ、このことは、本発明のもう1つの利点である。 In fact, in all three embodiments, a greater amount of heat is required for the operation of the evaporator compared to the prior art prior art, but this amount of heat is only required at about 75 ° C. For this purpose, waste heat from another processing position of the complex part of the apparatus is generally used, otherwise this waste heat has to be expelled by an air cooler. This is another advantage of the present invention. Moreover, overall a much larger amount of cooling performance is actually required, but heat can be derived at a more advantageous cooling level, which is another advantage of the present invention. is there.
更に、公知技術水準による冒頭に提示された方法と比較して本発明による方法の利点は、次の通りである:
冷却水を使用することによって、アンモニア冷却効率の約25%を節約することができ、したがって、よりいっそう小型のアンモニア冷却装置だけが必要とされる。プロパン冷却効率は、約55%だけ少なくなり、したがって、プロパン冷却循環路に必要とされる圧縮機効率は、約50%だけ少なくなり、圧縮機も相応して小型に寸法決定することができる。
Furthermore, the advantages of the method according to the invention compared to the method presented at the beginning according to the state of the art are as follows:
By using cooling water, it is possible to save about 25% of the ammonia cooling efficiency, so only a much smaller ammonia cooling device is required. The propane cooling efficiency is reduced by about 55%, so the compressor efficiency required for the propane cooling circuit is reduced by about 50% and the compressor can be sized accordingly.
