The energy structure of our country is characterized by "rich coal, lack of oil and less gas." it is expected that this situation will not change for a long time to come. The diversification of raw material structure has become an inevitable choice for the development of petrochemical industry in China. In view of the fact that petroleum energy is relatively scarce in China, it is the requirement of national energy security to actively develop fuel substitution industry. At present, the application of coal gasification technology and methanol production technology from syngas in China has been relatively mature. And methanol olefin production technology has been developed for many years in theory and experimental equipment has been relatively perfect.
According to this idea, this project designed a set of 600000 t / a MTO olefin separation section process design. The design idea uses DMTO technology, taking methanol synthesis from coal to methanol section as the main raw material. The ethylene content of 99.9% and propylene content of 99.7% were obtained through the process of reaction stage -gas purification stage -gas separation stage.
