230KTA Dry Gas Recovery Unit is one of the Company’s major contributors to profit improvement. With refinery dry gas as the feedstock, this Unit follows the “like dissolves like” theory, uses etherified C4 as the adsorbent, adopts light cold oil adsorption method to remove methane, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc., recovers C2+ cuts, which served as fuel gas in the past, and sends these components to Ethylene Cracking Unit as feedstock. Rough estimate shows it will increase ethylene production by 70kt per annum, save cracking feed oil by approximately 240kta, significantly bring down ethylene production cost and improve energy utilization rate and reduce consumption. It is of remarkable economical and social benefits. (XiaoWanyuan)
