Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an oil-water-gas separation technology of a product obtained in a process of preparing propylene from methanol, in particular to an oil-water-gas separation system and method for the process of preparing propylene from methanol.
Background
Propylene is the most important basic organic feedstock next to ethylene. With the years of expansion of the application fields of the derivatives, the demand is increasing. However, as petroleum resources are increasingly depleted, development of a process for producing propylene other than petroleum is highly desired. At present, the preparation of methanol by using coal/natural gas as raw materials enters large-scale production, and the preparation of low-carbon olefin (MTO/MTP) by using methanol has the advantages of wide raw material sources, low cost and the like, and is suitable for the national conditions of rich coal and lean oil in China.
The process for preparing propylene (MTP) from methanol is to chemically react the mixture of dimethyl ether and methanol under the action of catalyst to obtain the mixed product containing unconverted methanol and hydrocarbon. The product cooling and separating process is to return unreacted methanol to the reactor to connect propylene and ethylene rectifying process, i.e. the product produced from the MTP reactor is cooled down during the product cooling and separating process to separate gas, oil and water fully. Cooling and separation of the MTP reaction product is necessary and therefore separation efficiency is of paramount importance. Reasonable separation systems can improve the efficiency of MTP process design, and thus how to design separation systems is an important part of MTP technology.
10 months 2010, shenhuaining Xia Meiye group was put into industrial production from the 50 ten thousand tons/year coal-based methanol-to-propylene (MTP) project introduced by Lurgi, germany. Up to now, the device has been operated for more than 5 years. As with most of the first commercial commodity chemical production technologies, the Lurgi MTP process has many points to be improved while producing propylene with high selectivity. In the operation process of the MTP device, the problem of oil-water separation is always a bottleneck which puzzles the stable operation of the device. The oil-water separation mainly relates to a quenching tower and a pre-quenching tower, an oxide extraction tower and an extraction tower, wherein the oil-water separation problem of the quenching tower and the pre-quenching tower is most remarkable. Poor oil-water separation effect can cause the oil-carrying cavitation at the inlet of the chilled water pump to jump, thereby causing accidents such as high temperature at the inlet of the hydrocarbon compressor and jump. However, the current chilling system process flow design is not enough to consider the actual production requirement, and has poor gas, oil and water separation effect on the product separation system. How to completely and efficiently separate the gas, oil and water in the MTP production process is one of the technical difficulties that the skilled person is urgent to break through.

In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the separated methanol and DME are also returned to the DME reactor via transfer line 26 for use as a reaction feed, and the separated light component noncondensable gas can be recycled to the MTP reactor via light component noncondensable gas transfer line 23.
The process of separating oil-water-gas from the reaction product of the methanol-to-propylene process using the separation system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1:
after heat is recovered from the flow of reaction products and dilution steam from the upstream MTP reactor through a heat recovery system, the temperature is reduced to about 190 ℃, the reaction products and the flow of dilution steam enter a pre-quenching tower 101 through a material conveying pipeline 1, and the reaction products and the flow of dilution steam are fully contacted, cooled and washed with quench water and alkali liquor at 48-52 ℃ in the pre-quenching tower 101 to obtain gaseous flow and condensed water cooled to 50-60 ℃; the gaseous matter flows through the gaseous matter flow conveying pipeline 3 to enter the quenching tower 102, and is further fully contacted with quenching water and alkali liquor at 38-42 ℃, cooled and washed. Most of the heavy hydrocarbon components are condensed in the pre-quench tower 101 and the quench tower 102 to obtain heavy hydrocarbon components, respectively, which are output from the heavy hydrocarbon component delivery lines 17, 16, respectively.
Gaseous hydrocarbons exiting the top of quench tower 102 enter compressor surge tank 201 via gaseous hydrocarbon feed line 5, further removing liquid droplets (water) that may be entrained therein.
The condensed water from the bottom of the pre-quench tower 101 and the condensed water from the bottom of the quench tower 102 are respectively output by the condensed water conveying pipelines 6 and 7 and all enter the quench water separation tank 103 to separate oil (hydrocarbon) by gravity. Separating the remaining heavy hydrocarbon components therefrom and obtaining condensed water separated heavy hydrocarbon components, the condensed water being in three streams, a majority of which is recycled in the system as quench water to the pre-quench tower and the quench tower; specifically, the part of quenching water for circulation is cooled to 50 ℃ after heat recovery and air cooling, is output through a quenching water circulation pipeline 10 and is divided into two parts continuously, wherein most part of the quenching water is taken as quenching water to enter a quenching water conveying pipeline 2 to be input into a pre-quenching tower 101, and the other part of the quenching water is further cooled to 38 ℃ and enters a quenching tower 102 through a quenching water conveying pipeline 4 to further cool MTP reaction products, so that the water content in gaseous hydrocarbon leaving the top of the quenching tower 102 is minimized.
After being pressurized and filtered by a quench water pump, a small part of condensed water separated from the quench water separation tank 103 and separated from heavy hydrocarbon components is taken as quench water, particulate matters accumulated in the quench water are removed, the condensate water is conveyed to the process water extraction tower 301 through a first quench water conveying pipeline 14, and the rest of condensed water separated from the heavy hydrocarbon components from the quench water separation tank 103 is conveyed to the methanol recovery tower 401 through a second quench water conveying pipeline 13.
The liquid stream separated from the bottom of the compressor surge tank 201 is returned to the quench tower 102 via liquid stream transfer line 9. The gaseous hydrocarbon separated from the entrained water from the top of the compressor surge tank 201 is compressed by the delivery pipe 31 into the compressor 203 and cooled to 50 c to obtain an oil-gas mixture, and the oil-gas mixture is delivered to the oil-gas separation tank 202 through the oil-gas mixture delivery pipe 33.
The heavy hydrocarbon components separated by the pre-quenching tower 101, the heavy hydrocarbon components condensed and separated by the quenching tower 102 and the heavy hydrocarbon components separated by the quenching water separation tank 103 are respectively output through heavy hydrocarbon component conveying pipelines 17, 16 and 8 and are sent to the oil-gas separation tank 202, so that water possibly entrained is further separated.
The hydrocarbon condensate and residual water are separated from the gas phase components in the oil and gas separator tank 202. The gas phase component is output through a gas phase component conveying pipeline 30 and can be continuously sent to a next-stage separation unit (not shown in the figure); the hydrocarbon condensate is output through a hydrocarbon condensate conveying pipeline 29 and can be sent to a next separation unit (such as an oxide extraction unit) to separate C4, C5-6 oxygen-containing organic components (not shown in the figure), and part or all of the components are returned to the MTP reactor; the residual water is fed into the compressor buffer tank 201 via the residual water feed line 28.
In the process water extraction column 301, condensed water (also referred to as "quench water") from which heavy hydrocarbon components are separated is extracted with process steam from a process steam knock-out drum 303. The extracted hydrocarbon component is returned to the pre-quench tower 101 via the hydrocarbon component transfer line 15. The quenched water after extraction (i.e. the water from which the hydrocarbon components are extracted) is preheated to 140-150 ℃ after being pressurized by a process water pump, and is sent into a process steam generator 302 through a conveying pipeline 27 to generate steam, and the generated steam enters a process steam separation tank 303 through a steam conveying pipeline 18. In the process steam separator tank 303, where a demister is added, droplets of salt that may be entrained in the steam are separated.
The sewage discharged from the process steam generator 302 is mixed into the methanol recovery column 401 after exchanging heat with condensed water from the rest of the quench water separation tank 103, from which heavy hydrocarbon components are separated, through the sewage delivery pipe 19, and is rectified therein. A part of the process steam flowing out from the top of the process steam separation tank 303 is sent to the process water extraction tower 301 through the process steam conveying pipeline 20, and the other part of the process steam is mixed with recycle hydrocarbon and DME as dilution steam through the process steam conveying pipeline 21 and is sent to the MTP reactor after being added to 430 ℃.
Part of the condensed water from the quench water separation tank 103 from which heavy hydrocarbon components are separated is fed through a second quench water transfer line 13 to a methanol recovery column 401, and methanol and DME contained therein are separated by rectification in the methanol recovery column 401, and condensed at the top of the column to obtain a liquid phase component 22 containing methanol and DME. The overhead condensed liquid phase component enters the methanol recovery column reflux drum 402 via liquid phase component transfer line 22. Methanol and DME separated from the methanol recovery column reflux drum 402 are fed by a reflux pump (not shown) through reflux line 25, with a portion of the methanol and DME fed to the methanol recovery column 401 for reflux and another portion returned to the DME reactor through feed line 26. The light component noncondensable gas obtained from the reflux drum 402 of the methanol recovery tower is recycled to the MTP reactor through the light component noncondensable gas conveying pipeline 23. The process water separated by the methanol recovery column 401 is sent to a subsequent oxide extraction unit (not shown in the figure) through a process water delivery pipe 24.
The separation system and the method of the invention are adopted in production practice, and the separation system formed by combining the multi-stage separation units of the hydrocarbon-water separation unit 100, the oil-gas separation unit 200, the process water production unit 300 and the methanol recovery unit 400 can effectively completely separate the methanol-to-propylene reaction product (MTP reaction product) from the reaction water and the process water, so that the outlet material flow of the MTP reactor is more thoroughly separated into oil, water and gas, the smooth and stable operation of a subsequent gas compression system is ensured, the great difficulty in drying subsequent hydrocarbon products is avoided, the long-period stable operation of the MTP production device is also ensured, and the vehicle jump accident is avoided. The separation method has the characteristics of simple and reliable process, good stability and the like.
The separation system of the present invention is an improvement over the separation systems previously developed by the applicant (e.g. as in CN102363084 a). The separation system of the invention further separates the gaseous hydrocarbon obtained in the separation process of the MTP reaction product, and further separates hydrocarbon components and unreacted methanol and dimethyl ether from the quenching water obtained by the separation of the quenching system for recycling; the separated water is further converted into process steam without entrainment of salt-containing droplets by the process steam generator 302 and the process steam separation tank 303, effectively avoiding rapid deactivation of the catalyst by feeding the alkali metal belt into the MTP reactor. Compared with the prior separation system, the separation system provided by the invention has the advantages that the moisture content of the oil gas obtained by separation is lower, and the moisture content is reduced from more than 500ppm to less than 100ppm, so that the switching frequency of an oil gas drying device is reduced, and the replacement frequency of a drying agent is prolonged. In addition, the long-period stable operation of the production device is ensured by reducing the water entrainment quantity in the oil gas and producing the process steam without alkali metal entrainment. The technology of the invention is used for improving the existing industrial device, the effect is good after the device is put into use, the device can run for a long period, and the device is not stopped because of high water content of oil gas or excessive alkali metal ions carried by process steam.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain modifications and adaptations of the invention are possible and can be made under the teaching of the present specification. Such modifications and adaptations are intended to be within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
