Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the dehydrogenation of alkanes with homogenization of the product composition, wherein an alkane is passed over a suitable catalyst, whereby a gas stream is formed, which is an alkene, hydrogen and contains an unreacted alkane. Since the dehydrogenation of alkanes belongs to the group of reversible equilibrium reactions, the chemical equilibrium sets in under ideal catalyst conditions during the reaction after a certain residence time. The homogenization of the product composition or a constant proportion of alkene, alkane and hydrogen in the product gas is achieved by influencing the chemical equilibrium by means of process parameters in the desired direction. The dehydrogenation of alkanes takes place on a suitable catalyst. Over time, the activity of the catalyst decreases under the same reaction conditions. This causes the product composition at the reactor outlet to change permanently over a production cycle if the process parameters remain unchanged. Due to the constantly changing product composition, there may be disruptions in subsequent system components. For example, the rectification columns are sensitive to concentration variations in the feedstream.
- US 5243122 A describes a process for an allothermal reformer for the dehydrogenation of light alkanes, wherein the temperature of the catalyst bed is controlled during the reaction and slowly raised so that the composition of the reactor effluent remains the same during the reaction. By doing so, the slowing down of the activity of the catalyst is retarded, so that the composition of the product stream and in particular the alkene / alkane ratio contained therein remain the same during operation.
- the thermal control of the reaction is controlled by a special valve control of the fuel gas supply.
- the reformers are arranged in parallel, except the temperature, the other factors were not treated.
- BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE can be passed over the catalyst. This gas oxidizes the carbonaceous deposits so that the catalyst is exposed and the reaction can begin anew.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of developing a process for the dehydrogenation of alkanes, with which the product composition at the reactor outlet remains constant over the entire operating time.
- a gaseous alkane-containing stream is passed in a continuous mode through a catalyst bed in several reactors of adiabatic, allothermic or isothermal type or combinations thereof, thereby creating a gas stream, which is an alkene, hydrogen and unreacted Contains alkane, and that
- At least one of the process parameters temperature, pressure or steam-hydrocarbon ratio is detected at one or more points on at least one of the reactors in the form of measured values
- At least one of the process parameters is specifically influenced, so that the composition of the product gas at the output of at least one reactor remains constant over the service life.
- Measured values of temperature, pressure or steam / hydrocarbon ratio can be determined at one or more points of a reactor, then the process parameters can be purposefully controlled and influenced by means of control devices so that the composition of the product gas at the end of the reactor system can be monitored. remains constant over the service life.
- the process parameters temperature, pressure and steam-hydrocarbon ratio can be influenced in a targeted manner.
- the temperature in at least one of the reactors can be regulated.
- the pressure in the reactor via the removal of the product gas can be controlled by means of a control valve.
- the steam Hydrocarbon ratio in the reactor is determined by the addition amounts of steam and gaseous hydrocarbon, this action being preferred in the first of the reactors.
- an analyzer for measuring the composition of the product gas is used.
- the analyzer may be, for example, a gas chromatograph.
- the composition of the product gas is determined with the aid of the analyzer.
- the process parameters both individually and in combination, can be influenced in such a way that the desired homogenization of the composition of the product gas can be achieved.
- the same can also be obtained by specifying a time-varying function, for example a ramp function, by a process control system.
- the use of the inventive method for the production of alkenes from alkanes is claimed, in particular the use of the method for the dehydrogenation of propane to propene, of n-butane to / i-butenes and butadiene, from / so Butane to / so-butene, or mixtures thereof and the dehydrocyclization of alkanes to aromatics.
- any alkane or hydrocarbon that is dehydrogenatable by a prior art dehydrogenation process can be dehydrogenated.
- an allothermal reactor for the dehydrogenation of propane to propene is considered as an embodiment in order to represent the process according to the invention.
- the reactor is operated with the following process-technical values: inlet temperature: 510 ° C., temperature difference between inlet and outlet ⁇ T: 75K, outlet pressure p: 6.0 bar, molar steam-hydrocarbon ratio STHC: 3.5.
- Example 1 As shown in Fig. 1, the yield of propene decreases from 26.7% to 26.1% without adjusting the process parameters.
- Example 2 As shown in Fig. 2, by raising the temperature difference ⁇ T over the cycle, the yield of propene is kept constant at 26.7%. All other parameters remain unchanged compared to example 1.
- Example 3 As shown in Fig. 3, by lowering the discharge pressure p over the cycle, the yield of propene is kept constant at 26.7%. All other parameters remain unchanged compared to example 1.
- Example 4 As shown in Fig. 4, by raising the steam-hydrocarbon ratio (STHC) over the cycle, the yield of propene is kept constant at 26.7%. All other parameters remain unchanged compared to example 1.
- STHC steam-hydrocarbon ratio
- Example 5 As shown in FIG. 5, in this example the pressure is lowered constantly over the cycle time by 0.05 bar / h, and at the same time the temperature difference ⁇ T is slightly increased in order to obtain a uniform yield of propene.
- a one-sided reduction of the outlet pressure p over time (as in example 3) is often not possible at will, because the subsequent process step e.g. Raw gas compression requires a certain inlet pressure. Therefore, it makes sense to simultaneously influence several process parameters in order to achieve the desired homogenization of the composition of the product gas.

In this way, a constant temperature can be set in the first reaction system.
- the product composition is controlled only at the outlet of the second reaction system (15). This is done via an analyzer (17) at the output of the second reaction system, which measures the pressure via a pressure-holding valve (16) on the reactor of the second reaction system (2) and forwards them via electrical control lines (16a, 17a) to a process control system (18).
