Olefin recovery from olefin-hydrogen mixtures

Olefins are recovered from thermally cracked gas or fluid catalytic cracking off gas by cooling the gas to condense a portion of the hydrocarbons, removing hydrogen from the noncondensed gas, and condensing the remaining hydrocarbons in a cold condensing zone using a dephlegmator which operates abov...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Olefins are recovered from thermally cracked gas or fluid catalytic cracking off gas by cooling the gas to condense a portion of the hydrocarbons, removing hydrogen from the noncondensed gas, and condensing the remaining hydrocarbons in a cold condensing zone using a dephlegmator which operates above about -166 DEG F. This mode of operation minimizes the amount of methane in the condensate which is further processed in demethanizer column(s) and permits the condensation of ethylene at warmer temperatures than possible using a partial condenser in the cold condensing zone. The use of a dephlegmator at temperatures above about -166 DEG F. minimizes or eliminates the formation and accumulation of unstable nitrogen compounds in the ethylene recovery system. Hydrogen is removed from the noncondensed gas in a process selected from polymeric membrane permeation, adsorptive membrane permeation, or pressure swing adsorption.
