ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/230-J.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Products</h6> <p><b>Propylene</b>. Propylene, the main raw material consumed, is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is a low-boiling, flammable, and highly volatile gas, with molecular formula C3H6. Propylene reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. It may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract; propylene has low acute toxicity from inhalation. PG Propylene has been mainly produced as ethylene manufacturing co-product (via steam cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons) and by-product of petroleum refining (separation from refinery gas). Most recently, amid a tight propylene market, new and novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production have emerged.</p> <p><b>Propane</b>. Propane is a three-carbon alkane, found in petroleum and natural gas. The main application of this hydrocarbon is as fuel for heating and in engines, but it is also widely used in the production of ethylene, propylene and other organic chemicals in steam cracking. When used as fuel (containing small amounts of propylene, butane and butylene), propane is referred to as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This chemical is produced commercially from natural gas processing or petroleum refining, with purities typically superior than 90% - pure propane fuel is not commercially available. </p> <h6>Raw Material</h6> <p><b>RG Propylene</b>. Propylene, the main raw material consumed, is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is a low-boiling, flammable, and highly volatile gas. Propylene reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. The primary hazard associated with propylene is its flammability - precautions must be taken to avoid fire hazards in the handling of the gas. Propylene has been mainly produced as ethylene manufacturing co-product (via steam cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons) and by-product of petroleum refining (separation from refinery gas). Most recently, amid a tight propylene market, novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production have emerged.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/230-J.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Ethane Removal; (2) Propane Removal; and (3) Propylene Treatment.</p><p>Pre-fractionation. Refinery grade (RG) propylene is fed to a deethanizer column to reduce ethane and ethylene to less than 500 ppm mol. The ethylene/ethane stream leaving the top of this column is used as fuel, while the bottom product is sent to a propylene-propane splitter system.</p><p>Propane Removal. The deethanizer bottom stream is fed to a set of two distillation columns. In the first one, propane is withdrawn, along with most of the butylenes/butane, from the bottom and sold as by-product. The overhead stream, still containing significant amounts of propane, is sent to the second fractionator. This column acts as a continuation of the first tower, and polymer grade (PG) propylene is obtained from its top and sent a treatment step, while its bottom is pumped back to the first column.</p><p>Propylene Treatment. The PG propylene stream from the second distillation column is fed to a solid bed absorber, where water, oxygenates and sulfur are removed. It is then directed to a vessel containing catalytic adsorbent for the removal of arsine and phosphine. The purified PG propylene is sent to an intermediate tank before being directed to the downstream consumer plant, located nearby.</p><p></p>
