INSTALLATION FOR CATALYTIC PROCESSING OF LIGHT HYDROCARBON MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: petroleum processing and petrochemistry. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to complex assemblies for producing high-octane gasoline component and aromatic hydrocarbons. Installation can be employed both on production and primary oil and gas condensate processing objects and as independently functioning installation. Installation has aromatic concentrate preparation unit comprising recuperative heat-exchanger, heating system, and catalytic reactor, catalyzate outlet of which is connected, over recuperative heat-exchanger, to cooler, which is in turn connected to gas separator. At liquid phase outlet of gas separator, "hot" separator provided with light hydrocarbon stripping coil in its lower part and with centrifugal drop-separation means in its upper part. Installation further has high-octane gasoline component preparation unit comprising recuperative heat-exchanger, heating system, catalytic reactor, cooler, gas separator, and "hot" separator provided with propane-butane fraction stripping coil in its lower part and with centrifugal drop-separation means in its upper part. Propanebutane fraction outlet in "hot" separator of high-octane gasoline component preparation unit is connected with catalytic reactor of aromatic concentrate preparation unit over recuperative heat-exchanger and heating system of the latter unit. EFFECT: simplified operation and enabled combined production of high-octane gasoline component and aromatic hydrocarbons. 5 cl, 1 dwg
