Coal Tar Distillation Product Recovery Negative-Pressure Benzene Removal Process


   Process flow: The rich oil from the benzene washing tower is pressurized by a rich-oil pump and then fed into the lean-rich oil heater, where it exchanges heat with the hot lean oil at the bottom of the benzene recovery tower before entering the benzene-recovery section of the tower. After being further heated in the rich-oil heater, it again enters the benzene-recovery section of the tower. The crude benzene vapor drawn off from the top of the tower is subsequently condensed and cooled, yielding crude benzene that contains trace amounts of water. This crude benzene flows by gravity into an oil-water separator, where the water is separated out, leaving behind purified crude benzene. A portion of the crude benzene is pumped back to the tower as reflux at the top, while the remaining part is sent to an intermediate crude benzene tank. The negative pressure at the tower's top is maintained by a vacuum unit. Meanwhile, part of the lean oil from the tower bottom is cooled and returned to the benzene washing tower, while the other part is heated in a steam heat exchanger and used as a heat source for the benzene recovery tower.

Technical advantages:
1. Negative-pressure operating conditions favor benzene separation and enhance benzene removal efficiency.
2. Using the high-temperature lean oil from the tower bottom as the heat source for the benzene removal column eliminates the need for direct steam or only requires a small amount of steam, making it more energy-efficient.
3. The benzene removal section, regeneration section, and lean oil tank section utilize a single-tower design, saving space and reducing costs.
4. Use medium-pressure steam as the heat source to replace the tubular furnace for heating the wash oil.

Process performance indicators:

1. Operational Flexibility: Both gas and liquid phase loads must allow for continuous, stable operation within the range of 50–120% of the normal operating load.
2. Total tower pressure drop: The overall tower pressure drop ≤ 20 kPa.
3. Benzene content in lean oil exiting the tower: ≤0.2%.
4. The yield of crude benzene distilled below 180°C ≥ 93%
