Hydrocarbon recovery unit for chemical plants
Recovering valuable hydrocarbons from process streams is essential for chemical and petrochemical plants. The challenge lies in efficiently separating hydrocarbons from gases like nitrogen while minimizing emissions and maintaining high recovery rates.
Recover hydrocarbons and purify nitrogen
The BORSIG Hydrocarbon Recovery Unit is designed to minimize product losses and meet emissions legislation in chemical processing. This system combines membrane separation with unit operations like absorption, condensation, and extraction to optimize recovery rates and purity. Commonly used in slurry-type PE plants for powder degassing and vent gas recovery, it processes gas streams containing solvents such as butane, pentane, and hexane. The unit recovers liquefied solvents and purifies nitrogen, allowing for their re-use. Its modular design ensures easy installation and adaptation to specific plant conditions. This technology maintains high reliability and low maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency at moderate pressures and temperatures.
Benefits
- Flexible system for handling multiple components
- High recovery rates and product purity
- Safe operation with low maintenance requirements
