The feedstock for the gas separation unit contains a large amount of C5
Thread Content
The gas stream and the feed to MTBE units contain large amounts of C5 – what are the impacts? How can the operations be optimized?
Where does the C4 feedstock you use come from? If it is C4 separated from catalytic liquefied gas in a gas fractionation unit, then it is C5 that has been carried over due to unstable operations in the catalytic stabilization unit
If there is a high amount of C5, how can the vapor fraction and MTBE be optimized?
This requires an additional five decarboxylation towers.
There is too much carbon 5; the specifications for liquefied gas at the upstream stage are not met, and you don’t have a carbon 5 removal tower in your gas separation unit
For C5, stabilization is still necessary for adjustment; the output from the vaporization unit will end up in mixed tetrahydrocarbons. As for MTBE, it is likely to need to be mixed with MTBE as well, and more energy will be required to evaporate it away.
