- FIG. 3 The diagram with a de-isopentanizer and de-pentanizer according to the invention (FIG. 3) compared with the prior art with these same columns (FIG. 1) has a lower column size and needs for hot utilities. This necessarily leads to lower investment and operating costs. In addition, the octane number obtained is better.
- Table 6 below presents the results of a thermal integration between the de-isohexanizer [5] and the de-isopentanizer [3] and de-pentanizer [4] according to the invention.
- the de-isohexanizer [5] is operated at a pressure of 8 bar absolute, the condensation temperature of the column head is then 127 ° C.
- a heat exchange is then possible between this column head and the de-pentanizer reboiler [4] operated at 87 ° C and the de-isopentanizer reboiler [3] operated at 109 ° C.
- Example 1 The operating conditions of the reaction section [1] are unchanged with respect to Example 1.
- the flow diagram is that of FIG. 3 supplemented by the thermal integration detailed in FIG. 6.
- the de-pentanizer [4] is operated at a pressure of 11 bar absolute, the condensation temperature of the column head is then 123 ° C. A heat exchange is then possible between this column head and the de-isopentanizer reboiler [3] operated at 109 ° C.
- Table 7 details the results obtained.
