Abstract

REFERIDO A UN PROCESO Y APARATO PARA LA RECUPERACION DE ETANO, ETILENO, PROPANO, PROPILENO Y COMPONENTES DE HIDROCARBUROS MAS PESADOS DE UNA CORRIENTE DE GAS DE HIDROCARBUROS EN UN CONJUNTO DE CALENTAMIENTO COMPACTO. LA CORRIENTE DE GAS SE ENFRIA Y SE DIVIDE EN UNA PRIMERA Y SEGUNDA CORRIENTE. LA PRIMERA CORRIENTE SE ENFRIA PARA CONDENSARLA POR COMPLETO, Y LUEGO DE ESO, EXPANDIRLA A UNA PRESION MENOR Y SE CALIENTA PARA FORMAR UNA FRACCION DE VAPOR Y UNA FRACCION DE LIQUIDO. LA FRACCION DE LIQUIDO SE SUMINISTRA COMO UNA PRIMERA ALIMENTACION POR LA PARTE SUPERIOR A UN MEDIO DE ABSORCION DENTRO DEL CONJUNTO DE PROCESAMIENTO. LA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE TAMBIEN SE EXPANDE A UNA PRESION MENOR Y SE LA SUMINISTRA COMO ALIMENTACION SUPERIOR AL MEDIO ABSORBENTE. SE RECOGE UNA PRIMERA CORRIENTE DE VAPOR DE DESTILACION DE LA REGION SUPERIOR DEL MEDIO DE ABSORCION Y SE LA COMBINA CON LA FRACCION DE VAPOR PARA FORMAR UNA CORRIENTE DE VAPOR COMBINADA, LA CUAL SE DIRIGE HACIA UN PRIMER MEDIO DE TRANSFERENCIA DE CALOR Y MASA DENTRO DEL CONJUNTO DE PROCESAMIENTO, DE TAL MANERA QUE ESTA ES ENFRIADA POR LA PRIMERA CORRIENTE EXPANDIDA, FORMANDO UNA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE DE VAPOR DE DESTILACION, LA CUAL SE DIRIGE HACIA UNO O MAS MEDIOS PARA EL INTERCAMBIO DE CALOR DENTRO DEL CONJUNTO DE PROCESAMIENTO PARA CALENTARLA MIENTRAS SE ENFRIA LA CORRIENTE DE GAS Y LA PRIMERA CORRIENTE, Y UNA CORRIENTE CONDENSADA, LA CUAL SE SUMINISTRA COMO UNA SEGUNDA ALIMENTACION POR LA PARTE SUPERIOR AL MEDIO DE ABSORCIONREFERRED TO A PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE RECOVERY OF ETHANE, ETHYLENE, PROPANE, PROPYLENE AND HEAVY-DUTY HYDROCARBON COMPONENTS FROM A CURRENT OF HYDROCARBON GAS IN A COMPACT HEATING SET. THE GAS CURRENT COOLS AND DIVIDES INTO A FIRST AND SECOND CURRENT. THE FIRST CURRENT COOLS TO COMPLETELY CONDENSATE IT, AND THEN EXPANDS IT TO A LOWER PRESSURE AND HEATS TO FORM A VAPOR FRACTION AND A LIQUID FRACTION. THE LIQUID FRACTION IS SUPPLIED AS A FIRST UPPER FEED TO AN ABSORPTION MEDIA WITHIN THE PROCESSING ASSEMBLY. THE SECOND CURRENT IS ALSO EXPANDED AT A LOWER PRESSURE AND IS SUPPLIED AS A SUPPLY HIGHER THAN THE ABSORBING MEDIA. A FIRST DISTILLATION VAPOR CURRENT IS COLLECTED FROM THE UPPER REGION OF THE ABSORPTION MEDIUM AND COMBINES WITH THE VAPOR FRACTION TO FORM A COMBINED VAPOR CURRENT, WHICH IS DIRECTED TOWARDS A FIRST HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER MEDIUM WITHIN THE PROCESSING SET, IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IS COOLED BY THE FIRST EXPANDED CURRENT, FORMING A SECOND DISTILLATION VAPOR CURRENT, WHICH IS DIRECTED TOWARDS ONE OR MORE MEANS FOR THE EXCHANGE OF HEAT WITHIN THE PROCESSING ASSEMBLY WHILE HEATING IT THE GAS CURRENT AND THE FIRST CURRENT, AND A CONDENSED CURRENT, WHICH IS SUPPLIED AS A SECOND SUPPLY FROM THE UPPER PART TO THE ABSORPTION MEDIUM
