摘要:
A pyrolysis heater particularly for the cracking of hydrocarbons in the production of olefins has a burner arrangement in the firebox which directly heats the hearth of the firebox such that it becomes a radiant surface. This improves the heat flux in the lower portion of the firebox and produces a more uniform vertical heat flux profile over the firebox elevation. The base burners may fire horizontally across the hearth or may comprise porous ceramic burners as a part of the hearth. The base burners operate along with vertically firing hearth burners and optional wall burners in the upper portion of the firebox.

A pyrolysis heater has the inlet sections of the process coils grouped together and the outlet sections of these same process coils also grouped together. High heat liberation hearth burners are located adjacent to the inlet sections of the coils and lower heat liberation burners are located adjacent to the outlet sections. The secondary fuel tips of the burners are inclined toward the adjacent heater wall. The high heat liberation hearth burners adjacent to the inlet coils are arranged in spaced apart pairs with the secondary burner tips of each of the pair being inclined toward the other burner of the pair.

In other embodiments, the catalyst compound may include at least one element selected from aluminum, gallium, iridium, iron, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, osmium, palladium, phosphorus, rhenium, rhodium, ruthenium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, and vanadium.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the preferential conversion to 2-butene of a C4 stream containing 1-butene and 2-butene. The process involves mixing the C4 stream with a first hydrogen stream to form a feed stream, hydroisomerizing the feed stream in the presence of a first hydroisomerization catalyst in order to convert at least a portion of the 1-butene to 2-butene, thereby producing a hydroisomerization effluent, separating the hydroisomerization effluent in a fractionation column having an upper end and a lower end to form a 1-butene mixture at the upper end, a top effluent stream containing isobutane and isobutylene and a bottoms stream containing 2-butene, and hydroisomerizing the 1-butene mixture at the upper end of the column using a second hydroisomerization catalyst. A corresponding apparatus also is disclosed.

A process is disclosed for the preferential conversion to 2-butene of a stream containing C4 compounds including 1-butene and 2-butene. The process involves mixing the C4 stream with a first hydrogen stream to form a feed stream, hydroisomerizing the feed stream in the presence of a first hydroisomerization catalyst in order to convert at least a portion of the 1-butene to 2-butene, thereby producing a hydroisomerization effluent, passing the hydroisomerization effluent through a fractionation column to form a top stream comprising isobutane and isobutylene and a bottoms stream comprising 2-butene, withdrawing a recycle stream from said fractionation column at a location above the feed point at which the weight ratio of 1-butene to 2-butene is high, and combining the recycle stream with at least one of the C4 stream and the feed stream upstream from the hydroisomerization catalyst. A corresponding apparatus also is disclosed.
摘要:
In order to maximize the production of propylene when the external supply of ethylene is limited, the C4 cut from a hydrocarbon cracking process is first subjected to autometathesis prior to any isobutylene removal and without any ethylene addition. This favors the reactions which produce propylene and pentenes. The ethylene and propylene produced are then removed leaving a stream of the C4's and heavier components. The C5 and heavier components are then removed leaving a mixture of 1-butene, 2-butene, isobutylene, and iso- and normal butanes. The isobutylene is next removed preferably by a catalytic distillation hydroisomerization de-isobutyleneizer. The isobutylene-free C4 stream is then mixed with the product ethylene removed from the autometathesis product together with any fresh external ethylene needed and subjected to conventional metathesis producing additional propylene.

摘要:
The present invention is an apparatus continuously feeding particulate solids to a TRC reaction chamber or zone at a controlled rate of flow, and for admixing the solids with fluid simultaneously introduced to the reaction zone. This invention utilized one or more conduits, preferably tubular, to transfer the solids from a solids reservoir chamber to the reaction chamber at a controlled rate of flow, the conduits being in open communication with both the reservoir chamber and with the reaction chamber. The conduits are in the nature of orifices, and are symmetrically located across the reactor cross section, said orifices or conduits also being specially oriented with respect to the fluid reactant inlet to promote rapid and intimate mixing of the two phases.
