4 Claims.

This invention relates to the stabilization of light or low-boiling hydrocarbon oils and, particularly, to the stabilization of low-boiling oils derived from the cracking of higher boilinghy'drocarbon oils under substantial superatmospheric pressure. The invention will be fully understood by reference to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. i is an elevational view, somewhat diagrammatic in character, of an apparatus suitable for carrying out the process of the invention; and

Fig. 2 is a similar type of view of a different form of apparatus suitable for carrying out a modification of the process.

Referring to the drawings, and toFig. 1 in particular, the numeral 5 indicates a fractionating column which receives low-boiling hydrocarbon oil products in vapor form through a line 6 leading from a cracking process wherein higher boiling hydrocarbon oils are subjected to cracking. The vapors supplied to column 5 may comprise all vapor products given ed by the oil undergoing cracking and may, under such conditions, contain portion of constituents of higher boiling point than those desired in the final distillate product. The column 5 is provided with a plurality of spaced fractionating elements (not shown) of a suitable type, for example, bubble-cap plates, screen plates, or doughnut and disk plates. The column 5 is provided, at an intermediate point above the line 6, with a trap-out plate I upon which may be collected reflux condensate from the portion of the column thereabove.

The heated vapors discharged into column 5 are maintained under a relatively high pressure, say 200-300 lbs. gauge, more or less, and are subjected to fractionation to remove therefrom, as condensate, the higher boiling constituents undesired in the final distillate product, a lower boilthe trap-out plate I and the remainder and higher boiling constituents of such condensate being withdrawn from the lower end of the column through a valved line 8, and comprising suitable charging, stock for a cracking operation. Thus,

for example, when treating gasoline-containing vapors, a heavy naphtha or kerosene may be collected upon trap-out plate 1 and a gas oil, or similar stock may be collected in the lower end of column 5, the uncondensed vapors passing out of line I I comprising gasoline and certain undesired excessively volatile fractions. If desired, the condensate may be passed through line 8 to the cracking process from which the vapor products supplied by line 8 were derived. The necessary cooling for fractionation maybe effected by the introduction of a relatively cool fluid, such as oil, into the upper'portion of the column through a valved line 9 and/or a cool fluid may be passed through a coil I!) mounted in the upper portion to eflect condensation of a portion of the vapors, which condensate functions as a reflux cooling medium.

The fractionated vapors, substantially free of heavy undesired constituents, are withdrawn from the top "of column 5 though line II and are passed to a condenser I! wherein subs'tantialLv all of the desired constituents thereof are condensed. When treating a gasoline stock, substantially all butane and higher boiling densed in condenser H2. The condensed desired constituents and the dry gases and uncondensed vapors of excessively volatile constituents undesired in the final product are passed from condenser I! through a line I; into a separating drum l4 maintained under a substantially high pressure, for example, a pressure approximately the same as that maintained in column 5, wherein the condensate separates from the undesired gases and vapors, the latter being passed from the system through a valved line I 5 and consisting substantially entirely of excessively volatile constituents undesired in the flnal distillate product, i. e. dry gases. With a gasoline stock, such uncondensed constituents may comprise all fractions having a boiling point below that of butane. The condensate is withdrawn from chamber II and is passed by a valved line It into a chamber l'l maintained under a substantially reduced superatmospheric pressure, say 40-100 lbs., more or less. thereby eflecting flashing or vaporization of a substantial portion of the remaining undesired excessively volatile constituents, together with a portion of the lower boiling of the constituents desired in the final distillate product. When treating a gasoline stock, the flashed gases and vapors at this point may comprise methane, ethane, propane, butane, and possibly some higher boiling fractions.- The wet mixture of gases and vapors (consisting of desired and undesired excessively volatile constituents) is passed through a valved line I 8 to the lower portion of a suitable absorption tower I, the operation of which will be hereinafter more fully described.

The condensate in chamber II, from which a substantial portion of undesired excessively volatile constituents has been removed, is withdrawn through a line 20 and passed to the inlet oi a pump 2| by which it is forced under increased superconstituents are conatmospheric pressure through a line 22 and into a stabilizing column 23. If desired, the condensate may be passed to the column 23 at substantially the same pressure as, or at a lower pressure than 5 that in the chamber H, by by-passing it around the pump 2| by means of a valved by-pass line 24 interconnecting the lines 20 and 22. The column 23 is maintained under a superatmospheric pressure, preferably in excess of 75 lbs., and is provided internally with a plurality of spaced elements (not shown) for effecting intimate contact of vapors and liquids therein, for example, fractionating elements of a type similar to those employed in column 5 may be employed therein.

The oil discharged into column 23 from chamber I1 is subjected to rectification therein to remove therefrom substantially all of the excessively volatile constituents undesired in the final distillate product. The oil entering column 23 flows downwardly and comes into intimate contact with upwardly flowing warm vapors,

whereby it is heated and at least partially vaporized. The unvaporized oil, including reflux condensate, collects in the bottom of the column 23 and is subjected to heating to effect reboiling thereof and insure removal of excessively volatile constituents. The heat for this operation is supplied by means of hot reflux condensate withdrawn from the fractionating column 5, and preferably comprises that condensate collected upon the trap-out plate I. The condensate on plate I may be passed from column 5 through a line 25 and through a coil 28 mounted in the lower end portion of column 23. The condensate.

after flowing through coil 25, passes through a line 2! from which it is discharged into the upper portion of the absorption tower is. The vapors produced by the reboiling of the liquid oil ascend the column 23 and intimately contact downfiowing cooler liquid oil, whereby they are fractionated. The necessary cooling for fractionation in column 23 may be effected by the passage of a cool fluid through a coil 28 mounted in the upper portion to effect condensation of a portion of the vapors, which condensate functions as a reflux cooling medium.

The gases and vapors are withdrawn from the top of column 23 through a line 29 leading to the line I8 wherein they become admixed with the gases and vapors flowing to the absorption tower is from the chamber H. The gases and vapors so withdrawn from the top of column 23 comprise substantially all of the remaining excessively volatile constituents remaining in the oil and comprise, as well, certain of the lower boiling of the constituents desired in the final distillate product. For example, with a gasoline stock, these wet gases or vapors may comprise methane, ethane, propane, butane, and some higher boiling constituents. The unvaporized portion, from which substantially all of the undesired excessively volatile constituents have been removed. is withdrawn from the bottom of column 23, and from the system, through a valved line 30. This product is substantially entirely stabilized and may or may not be subjected to suitable refining or sweetening operations, as desired.

The mixed gases and vapors comprising excessively volatile fractions undesired in the final product and the lower boiling of the fractions desired in the final product pass from chamber l1 and column 23 through line l8 and into the lower portion of absorption tower l9 and flow upwardly therethrough, coming into intimate contact with .5 the descending condensate from the fractionatupper portion of the tower ing column 5, passed through line 21 into the IS. The tower l9 may suitably be of the type ordinarily employed in absorption processes for recovering light hydrocarbon oils from gases, for example, refinery or casing head gas. It is preferred to cool the condensate before discharging it into the tower l9. This cooling may be accomplished by means of a cooling coil 3| interposed in the line 21. The relatively cool downflowing condensate intimately contacts the upfiowing wet gases and vapors and absorbs substantially all of the constituents thereof desired in the final distillate product. The unabsorbed gases, which consist substantially entirely of excessively volatile constituents undesired in the final distillate product, are withdrawn from the top of tower l9, and discharged from the system through a line 32. In an operation with a gasoline stock substantially all of the butane and higher boiling constituents will be absorbed in the liquid absorbent, together with some of the lower boiling constituents. The remaining unabsorbed excessively volatile constituents (propane and lower boiling constituents) are separately withdrawn from the tower l3.- The enriched liquid condensate, containing the absorbed desired constituents, is withdrawn from the bottom of tower l3 and passed through a line 33 to a pump 34 by which it is forced through a line 35 into the column 5 at an intermediate point thereof. The enriched condensate is preferably introduced into the column 5 at a point substantially above the trapout plate I. The enriched condensate undergoes fractionation in the column 5, the absorbed constituents, or fractions, being vaporized and thus recycled through the system with the vapors flowing through line H.

In a specific operation, the following gauge pressures may be maintained in the system when treating a gasoline containing stock: A pressure of about 200 lbs. may be maintained in the column 5 and the chamber i4; and pressures of about lbs. may be maintained-in the chamber H, the column 23 and the tower l9; however it is to be understood that these pressures may vary considerably, it being preferred to always maintain a pressure of at least 75 lbs. gauge in the column 23. The temperature conditions of course will vary, depending upon the type of product desired and the pressure conditions. With the above mentioned pressures the tops of columns 5 and 23 may be maintained at about 430 F. and 120 F., respectively, and the bottoms of columns 5 and 23 may be maintained at about 675 F. and 250 F.. respectively. The temperature ofthe column 5 at the trap-out plate 1 may be about 650 F. The oil in chamber ll may be at about F. and at about 80 F. in the chamber l1. The cycle absorber oil may be cooled to about F. before it is introduced into the tower l9. It will be understood that the gases and vapors passed to tower l9 may be cooled before they enter the tower l9, as desired.

In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the stock is separated into lighter and heavier portions which are stabilized in separate stabilizing operations. The vapors from a cracking operation enter a fractionating column 40 through a line II and are subjected to fractionation under a relatively high pressure, say 200 to 300 lbs.. in a manner similar to that already described relative to column 5, the column 40 being of a structure similar to that of the column 5, and being provided with suitable cooling means such as the ing chamber 49 wherein uncondensed dry gases or vapors separate from the condensate. The separating chamber is preferably maintained under a high superatmospheric pressure, preferably at a pressure approximating that maintained in the column 40. If desired, additional cooling of the oil may be effected by means of a cooling coil 50 interposed in line 48. It is preferred to condense substantially all of the desired constituents of the vapors at this point, together with 2 some excessively volatile, undesired constituents,

leaving in gaseous or vapor form only excessively volatile constituents undesired in the flnal distillate product. For example, with a gasoline stock, these uncondensed constituents mainly comprise those dry gases having a boiling point below that of butane. The separated undesired dry gases and/or vapors are withdrawn from the chamber 49, and are discharged from the system,

through a valved line 5|. The separated condensate is withdrawn through a valved line 52 and is passed to the heat exchanger 4! where it is heated by the already described hot vapors flowing therethrough from column 40. The heated condensate is withdrawn through line 53 and passed to a stabilizing column 54. The column 54 may be of a structure similar to that of the column 23 already described, being provided at its lower end with a heating coil 55 through which ahot passed, for rebelling liquid in the column, and with a coil 55' at its upper end through which a suitable cooling fluid may be passed, for eifecting condensation of a portion of the vapors for reflux cooling purposes.

umn 54 may be maintained under any desired pressure, say from 35 to 100 lbs., more or less. The oil discharged into the column 54 is heated therein by the hot condensate flowing through coil 55, a substantial portion of the oil being vaporized. The heavier portion of the oil is condensed and collected in the lower end thereof, and comprises a stable. heavy fraction or portion of the original stock, and is removed from the column 54, and from the system, through a valved line 57. The uncondensed vapors in column 54 comprise the remaining portion or fraction of the original stock and consist of the lighter constituents desired in the final product together with remaining excessively volatile constituents undesired in the final product.v These vapors are withdrawn from the top of column 54 through a valved line 58 and are passed to a condenser coil 59 wherein most of the normally liquid or desired constituents are condensed, the condensate and uncondensed gases and vapors being passed through a line 60 to a separator 6i wherein the condensate separates from the vapors and/or gases. The pressure in the separator 6| may be reduced, but it is preferred to maintain it substantially the same as that maintained in the column 54. The gases and/or vapors at this point consist of excessively volatile constituents undesired in the final product together with a portion of the lighter constituents desired in the final product. With a gasoline stock, the vapors in separator 6| comprise chiefly constituents boil- 64 to a pump 65 by which it is portion of the original distillate stock and The colblending it with the ing below the boiling'polnt of butane, together with some butane and higher boilinghydrocarbons, while the condensate therein will comprise mainly butane and higher boiling constituents together with some undesired excessively volatile constituents. The mixture of wet gases and vapors. is passed from separator 6| through a line 62 to the lower portion of an absorption column 63, while the condensate is passed through a line forced through a 61. The column a pressure of at line 66 into a stabilizing column 51 is preferably operated under least lbs. gauge. A valved by-pass line 68 interconnects the lines 54 and 66 for the passage of the condensate around the pump 55 and into the column 61 at a pressure equal to or less than that in the separator 6|. The stabilizer column structure to the columns 23 and 54', being provided with a heating coil 69 in its lower end for effecting reboiling of liquid therein, and with a cooling coil 10 in its upper end for effecting condensation of a portion of the vapors to eflect the desired cooling within the column. The light liquid portion of the original distillate stock is stabilized in column 51, and is substantially entirely freed of any remaining excessively volatile constituents undesired in the flnal distillate product, together with a portion of the lighter desired constituents thereof. The uncondensed vapors and gases which comprise undesired constituents and certain lighter desired constituents are withdrawn from the top of column 61 by a valved line 'H and are passed to the wet gas line 82 and into the absorption tower 63. When treating gasoline in the system, these gases consist mainly of butane and lower boiling constituents. The stabilized liquid is withdrawn from the bottom of column 61, and from the system, through a valved line 12; This liquid portion comprises the lighter may with- 61 may be similar in be blended with the stable heavier portion drawn from column 54 stable distillate product. If desired, the heavier stock from column 54 may be subjected to chemical treatment as shown diagrammatically at 8| and/or redistillation as shown diagrammatically by heater 82 and fractionating column 83 before it is blended with the lighter portion from column 67. When treating a gasoline stock, the light liquid portion from column 5'! does not ordinarily require chemical treatment and/or redistillatlon. If desired,this light out maybe sweetened before heavier cut from column 54.

The wet gases and/or vapors withdrawn from separator GI and column of tower 53 and flow upwardly therethrough and come into intimate contact with a downflowing liquid which'absorbsdesired constituents thereof. This liquid is introduced into the upperpor- 61 enter the lower end to produce the desired tion of column 53 through a line 13 and may comprise condensate from the fractionating column 40 collected upon trap-out plate 44 and passed therefrom through lines 74, coil 55, line 15, coil 69, line 15, and cooling coil 11, to line 13 and'into the tower 63. The condensate is cooled in its passage through coils 55 and 69 as it imparts heat to the liquid in the columns 54 and 61, thereby eiiecting the desired reboiling of the liquid in columns 54 and 61. Any desired additional cooling of the condensate may be passed to tower 63 by means of the coil TI. The enriched absorbent liquid, containing absorbed desired constituents, is removed from the lower endoi'tower 63 throughllne'll andilnaased to a pump I9 by which it is forced through a line 80 and into the fractionating column 40, preferably at a point above the trap-out plate 44. When treating a gasoline stock the constituents absorbed in tower 63 mainly comprise butane and higher boiling fractions, although some lower boiling constituents are also absorbed. The enriched absorber oil returned to the fractionating column 40 becomes heated therein and the light 10 absorbed constituents thereof arevaporized and pass in such form from the column 40, and into the remainder of the system, through the line 46.

The unabsorbed dry gases, substantially free from butane and heavier hydrocarbons, pass from 15 the top of tower 63 through a line 8| connected to the line through which they are passed from the system together with the dry gases separated in chamber 49.

The pressure and temperature: conditions may 20 be considerably varied throughout the system.

However, when treating a gasoline stock, it is preferred to maintain the fractionating column 40 and the separator 49 under a substantially high pressure, say about 200 to 300 lbs. gauge, in order 25 to avoid, as far as possible, vaporization in separator 49 of light desired constituents. The column 54 may be operated at any suitable superatmospheric pressure, say from 30 to 100 lbs.

gauge, more or less. It is preferred to maintain 30 the chamber 6| at the pressure maintained in column 54. It is preferred to maintain the column 61 at a pressure of at least '70 lbs. gauge, or

higher. The absorption tower may be maintained under any desired pressure, for example,

it may be maintained under approximately that maintained in the chamber 6 l.

In a specific operation, the column 40 and chamber 49 may be maintained at 200 lbs. gauge, the top of column 40 being maintained at about 430 F. and the bottom at about 675 F. The temperature at trap-out plate 44 may be about 650 F. The temperature of the oil in chamber 49 may be about 85 F. The column 54 and chamber 6| may be maintained at about 70 lbs. gauge, the top of column 54 being about 185 F. and the botom being about 380 F. The oil in chamber 6| may be about 85 F. The column 61 may be maintained at about 75 lbs. gauge, its top being maintained at about 100 F. and its bottom being maintained at about 160 F. The absorber tower 83 may be maintained at about 70 lbs., its top being maintained at about 90 F. and its bottom at about 105 F.

It will be seen that a high degree of thermal efficiency is realized in that heat derived from the cracking operation is employed in the entire stabilizing operation. A substantial capacity is provided by effecting a relatively rough separation of undesired constituents together with some 60 desired constituents in the rectifying operation,

the desired constituents being recovered in the absorption operation in the condensate trapped out of the fractionating column of the cracking system,-the absorbed desired constituents being returned to the fractionating column and recycled through the system, whereby they are eventually recovered in the stabilized finished product. I

It will be understood that the aforedescribed operations may be carried out without employing the separators l4 and I! in Fig. 1, and 49 and SI in Fig. 2, the wet gases being separated in the stabilizing or rectifying columns alone.
