INSTALLATION OF GLYCOL REGENERATION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: petroleum and gas and other industries; glycol regeneration installations.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with installations of glycol regeneration with use of vacuum, which may find application in processes of a hydrocarbon gas absorptive drying from a moisture. The invention may be used in gas, petroleum and other industries. The installation includes a saturated glycol feeding pipeline connected through an ejector to an atmospheric column - stripper, which has an outlet branch-pipe of partially regenerated glycol and is fused to the vacuum column supplied with the lower branch-pipe of regenerated glycol withdrawal and the upper branch-pipe of vapors withdrawal, which are linked to a passive nozzle of the ejector. At that the saturated glycol feeding pipeline has a section with two parallel lines, on one of which there is the ejector with a flow meter mounted in front of its active nozzle and connected with a control valve installed on one of the lines. The vacuum column is made in the form of mass-exchange column and equipped with a fixed plate with a located over it branch-pipe of withdrawal of water, a cooling coil in the column upper part and a contact device with low hydraulic resistance in the lower part. The invention ensures efficient regeneration of glycol in the vacuum column and unloading of an atmospheric column - stripper.

EFFECT: the invention ensures efficient regeneration of glycol in the vacuum column and unloading of an atmospheric column - stripper.
