Abstract

DONDE EL METODO COMPRENDE: a)SEPARAR EL GAS DE ALIMENTACION EN UNA COLUMNA REFLUIDA PARA OBTENER GAS RESIDUAL, Y USAR PARTE DE ESTE GAS COMO PRIMER REFLUJO, OPERANDO LA COLUMNA DE MODO QUE 90% DE ETANO SE RECUPERA; b)EXPANDIR PARTE DEL GAS DE ALIMENTACION CORRIENTE ARRIBA DE LA COLUMNA PARA FORMAR SEGUNDO REFLUJO; Y, c)CONTROLAR LA TEMPERATURA DE LA COLUMNA CON UN CIRCUITO QUE CONTROLA LA TEMPERATURA DE UNA CORRIENTE DE DESCARGA DEL EXPANSOR QUE SEA ALIMENTADA A LA COLUMNA, O CON UN CONDENSADOR DE REFLUJO INTERMEDIO COLOCADO ENTRE LAS SECCIONES SUPERIOR E INFERIOR DE LA COLUMNA MANTENIENDO LA TEMPERATURA DE LA SECCION INFERIOR POR ENCIMA DE UNA TEMPERATURA QUE IMPIDE LA CONGELACION DEL CO2. EL GAS DE ALIMENTACON COMPRENDE POR LO MENOS 2% DE CO2, Y SE DIVIDE EN 3 CORRIENTES: LA PRIMERA ES ENFRIADA HASTA UNA PRIMERA TEMPERATURA ANTES DE INGRESAR A LA COLUMNA; LA SEGUNDA ES ENFRIADA Y EXPANDIDA EN UN TURBOEXPANSOR ANTES DE INGRESAR A LA COLUMNA A UNA SEGUNDA TEMPERATURA, Y LA TERCERA EVITA AL INTERCAMBIADOR DE ALIMENTACION Y SE USA PARA EL CONTROL DE LA TEMPERATURA EN (c). LA PLANTA INCLUYE: UNA COLUMNA CON CONDENSADOR DE REFLUJOS INTERMEDIO QUE OPERA ENTRE -20°F Y -40°F, UBICADA ENTRE LAS SECCIONES DE FRACCIONAMIENTO Y DE RECTIFICACION DE LA COLUMNA, Y PARA RECIBIR LAS CORRIENTES DE REFLUJO Y GENERAR UN PRODUCTO DE CABEZA; UN CIRCUITO PARA QUE UNA CORRIENTE LIQUIDA SEA ALIMENTADA DE LA SECCION DE FRACCIONAMIENTO A LA DE RECTIFICACION; Y UN CIRCUITO DE RECICLAJEWHERE THE METHOD INCLUDES: a) SEPARATE THE SUPPLY GAS IN A REFLUDED COLUMN TO OBTAIN RESIDUAL GAS, AND USE PART OF THIS GAS AS THE FIRST REFLUX, OPERATING THE COLUMN SO THAT 90% OF ETHANE IS RECOVERED; b) EXPAND PART OF THE CURRENT SUPPLY GAS ABOVE THE COLUMN TO FORM A SECOND REFLUX; AND, c) CONTROL THE COLUMN TEMPERATURE WITH A CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS THE TEMPERATURE OF A DISCHARGE CURRENT FROM THE EXPANDER THAT IS SUPPLIED TO THE COLUMN, OR WITH AN INTERMEDIATE REFLUX CONDENSER PLACED BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER SECTIONS OF THE MAINTENANCE COLUMN TEMPERATURE OF THE LOWER SECTION ABOVE A TEMPERATURE THAT PREVENTS THE FREEZING OF CO2. THE SUPPLY GAS INCLUDES AT LEAST 2% CO2, AND IS DIVIDED INTO 3 CURRENTS: THE FIRST ONE IS COOLED TO A FIRST TEMPERATURE BEFORE ENTERING THE COLUMN; THE SECOND IS COOLED AND EXPANDED IN A TURBO EXPANDER BEFORE ENTERING THE COLUMN AT A SECOND TEMPERATURE, AND THE THIRD BYPASSES THE POWER EXCHANGER AND IS USED FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN (c). THE PLANT INCLUDES: A COLUMN WITH AN INTERMEDIATE REFLUX CONDENSER THAT OPERATES BETWEEN -20 ° F AND -40 ° F, LOCATED BETWEEN THE FRACTIONATION AND RECTIFICATION SECTIONS OF THE COLUMN, AND TO RECEIVE THE REFLUX CURRENTS AND GENERATE A HEAD PRODUCT; A CIRCUIT FOR A LIQUID CURRENT TO BE SUPPLIED FROM THE FRACTIONATION SECTION TO THE RECTIFICATION SECTION; AND A RECYCLING CIRCUIT
