Study Notes
Reactor Effluent Processing
- Effluent exits through a common header and is directed to D-310A/B (Reactor Effluent Separators).
- D-310A/B separates the effluent into an overhead vapor recycle ethylene stream and a bottom liquid product stream containing NAO (Navigated Aqueous Organic) and catalyst.
TEA Scrubber Operations
- Overhead vapor ethylene stream is routed to T-330 (TEA Scrubber) for treatment.
- T-330 uses a C10-C12 stream from E-426 (C8 Tower Bottoms Cooler) to scrub vaporized or entrained aluminum alkyls, preventing ethylene polymerization and potential downstream plugging.
Saturate Reduction System
- Bottom liquid from D-310A/B is transferred to the Saturate Reduction System for aluminum alkyl removal.
Ethylene Recycling
- Overhead vapor from T-330 is cooled in E-330A/B (Ethylene Recycle Coolers) before proceeding to D-330 (H.P. Recycle Knock-out Drum).
- D-330 separates any entrained liquids from the vapor stream.
Vapor Stream Distribution
- The vapor from D-330 splits into two streams:
- Most is directed to E-373 (Purge Gas Heater) within the Deethenizer System.
- The excess vapor is recycled back to D-110 (Charge Gas Compressor Suction Drum) as recycled ethylene in the Ethylene Feed Section.
Caustic Wash Processing
- Bottom liquid product streams from both T-330 and D-330 are sent to T-340 (Caustic Wash Vapor Scrubber) for further processing.
