ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Reactions; (2) CO2 Removal; and (3) Product Separation and Recovery.</p><p>Reactions. The methane recycle feed stream, containing CO and H2, coming from the demethanizer head is first heated. This methane stream is then sent to two-stage methanation reactors unit where CO is almost completely converted to methane in presence of hydrogen. The methane stream is mixed with oxygen, undergoing oxidative coupling (OCM) conversion to ethylene. Ethane is injected into the reaction system and is converted in ethylene utilizing the heat generated during methane conversion. Heat is recovered by generating high pressure steam.</p><p>CO2 Removal. The outlet stream from the reaction system is cooled and compressed in water quench system , to prevent further reactions and formation of undesirable by-products. Process gas stream is mixed with treated heat natural gas from Desulfurization. The mixed stream is treated in an Amine System to remove carbon dioxide using a Methyl diethanolamine-based unit. The resulting process gas is further treated with a caustic wash to complete remove any existing traces of CO2. The process gas leaving the caustic wash is then dried in a molecular sieve unit.</p><p>Product Separation and Recovery. The dried gas is fed to a cold box and cooled to cryogenic temperatures. Condensates from the chilling train are fed to separation columns. In the demethanizer, light ends and hydrogen are stripped off and recycled after treatment, while the bottom stream is fed to the deethanizer. The top stream is fed to an acetylene converter and then fractionated in the C2-splitter. Polymer grade ethylene is obtained as a side stream, and the bottoms stream, containing ethane, is recycled to methanator. The deethanizer bottom stream is fed to a depropanizer, which generates refinery grade propylene in the overheads and mixed C4s in the bottoms.</p><p></p>
