Recovery of C3
plus components from refinery off gases or fuel systems uses the same
technology as LPG recovery from natural gas or ethylene recovery from
refinery gases. The performance difference is in the feed gas.
FCCU off-gas is typically more suitable for recovery of the high value
ethylene/ethane mix. Coker off-gas will see higher profitability from C3
plus recovery. Compared to natural gas, the coker or fuel gas
systems are much richer in C3
plus, increasing profitability and giving absorption technology a
decided edge verus use of cryogenic technologies. In C3
plus operation, the AET technology would operate with a C5+
regenerator tower bottoms products (and solvent composition) and a C3-C4
regenerator overhead product.
