Definitions

  • the claimed invention (Top Dividing Wall Column Depropanizer or TDWC) provides an innovative technique wherein the two column system is combined into a single column.
  • the light components are concentrated on the prefractionation side (feed side) of the column, where they are removed as an overhead top product.
  • FIG. 1 represents the prior art.
  • the column operates at 390 psig with an overhead temperature of 95 °F.
  • This conventional depropanizer aims at separating C2/C 3 components as an overhead product and C4/C4 components as the bottoms product of the column.
  • the prior art possesses several disadvantages. It is not possible to condense the lighter components in the overhead product at 350 psig and using cooling water as the overhead cooling media.
  • the overhead system has a partial condenser. C 2 and lighter components (used as fuel gas) are drawn as the vapor product from the partial condenser. C 3 product is the liquid stream from the partial condenser. A considerable amount of C3 components are lost to the fuel gas vapor stream. The loss of C3 components can be prevented by decreasing the overhead temperature (e.g., by using refrigeration) or increasing the column pressure. However, this increases the operating cost of the column.
  • the prior art systems offers a sharp split between C3 and C3+, the recoveries of these components is low as they are lost in the fuel gas vapor stream.
  • FIG. 1 represents a prior art separation process in accordance with an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 3 represents a process scheme in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • An embodiment of the invention is directed to a process wherein two different unit operations (absorption and distillation) take place on either side of a top dividing wall column.
  • two different unit operations absorption and distillation
  • the innovation is explained through an example, a conventional depropanizing system
  • a distillation column having a top dividing wall is shown.
  • the top divided column has a feed side that is located on one side of the dividing wall and a product side on the opposite side of the dividing wall.
  • the bottom portion of the top divided column i.e., the opposite side of the top divided column is the main section.
  • the process scheme of the claimed invention is designed to separate C 2 (Non condensables), C 3 (intermediate component), C 3 . (Heavies) in a single top divided column.
  • the feed stream is first sent to the pre-fractionation side of the top divided column.
  • the vertical dividing wall splits the top portion of the column into two halves.
  • the feed side of the wall is called the pre-fractionation section.
  • the non- condensables (used as fuel gas) is removed as overhead vapor product from a vent condenser.
  • the column overhead pressure is set at 350 psig via a pressure controller on the overhead fuel gas product line.
  • the section above the feed acts as an absorption section that us primarily used to minimize the loss of C 3 components.
  • the pre- ractionation side has reflux coming from two sources: A liquid stream condensed from a vent condenser; and a heavy stream from a bottoms pump.
  • the vapor from the overhead of the main section is condensed and cooled to 95°F in air-cooled exchanger followed by the water- cooled condenser.
  • the condenser outlet is collected in an overhead receiver.
  • the C3 light liquid is pumped out of the drum via reflux pumps. A portion of the light liquid is sent back to the column as reflux and the remainder is withdrawn as C3 product.
  • the operating pressure of the column is controlled by a pressure control loop installed on the non-condensable line going to the fuel gas header, while the pressure in the overhead received is controlled by a hot by-pass pressure control loop.
  • the temperature in top section of the main column is controlled in cascade with the reflux flow control loop. This allows control over the quality of the C3 product by suppressing the tendency of the heavier components from going to the top of the column.
  • the reboiler connected to the main section is a thermosyphon steam reboiler that uses steam as heating medium.
  • the heat input to the reboiler is regulated by controlling the steam flow cascaded to the column bottom tray temperature controller.
