Note 1: The purpose of this unit is to recover gas (FG Flue Gas and LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and gasoline derived from distillation and cracking
processes.
a) FG = 185 t / d;
b) LPG = 1 150 m3 / d;
c) Gasoline = 2500m3 / d (Light chains for the solvents Units are present
within these fractions).
The gases and vapors compression process is necessary due to the following
factors:
The lubrication system of the V-603 is supplied by a small tank (P-603). This
reservoir has an internal heating system via coils (M-638) heated by 5S (Five
Steam). This system is used during the compressor start up, to establish
proper oil temperature lubrication to the machine operation. The oil tank has
also a water removal system consisting of a coalesce filter ( FT-605), where
oil and possible emulsified water is extracted. The J-638A/ B pumps, B being
a turbine (30S), make the circulation of lubricating oil. The pump "A" has a
pressure switch automatic drive. The pump discharge flow passes through a
heat exchanger (M-636A/B) being cooled by water. These exchangers
possess an in parallel temperature controller (TV-60341) keeping the oil
temperature within 35C. At the discharge of the pumps there is a PCV,
which controls pressure 10 kgf / cm, discharging its surplus for the P-603
drum.
The lubrication system has two reservoir systems. The first (P-576)
maintains the oil pressure system as stable as possible before the PCV,
which controls pressure at around 7 kgf/cm. The second, P-604, known as
"run-down-Tank", is used to keep the V-603 lubrication until its stoppage
should there be an operational problem with the circulation pumps. To
secure the compressor stoppage, this reservoir is placed above the
compressor so the column weigh can supply the oil circulation.
In normal working conditions, the suction and discharge pressures of the
compressor are respectively 1,00kgf / cm and 22kgf / cm, whereas the
discharge pressure is maintained by controlling pressure PV 60602, PV60602A and / or PV-60973, located after the secondary absorber (N-611)
and FG DEA treatment (N-601). It is important to notice that an increase in
this pressure, despite favoring the absorption, causes difficulty to the LPG
rectification.
The suction pressure is controlled by varying the compressor turbine speed.
And to prevent the compressor work in the region of instability, a system
which ensures a minimum flow to each stage (known as anti-surge). The
valves responsible for this protection are: FV-M60075 (1st stage) and FVM60077 (2nd stage), and the Switchboard Operator has no action on them,
then controlled by a local control panel of the CCC (Controls Compressor
Corporation).
Once compressed, the gas to follow the high-pressure vessel (O-636). This
vessel is considered to be the charging source for the gas recovery system.
That is why it circulated throughout the unit load and is where is the original
separation between the fuel gas and naphtha instabilizada (LPG + petrol).
This degree of separation can be achieved by C2 percentage of the liquid
stream and the C3 percentage in the gas stream. But the index matters
most is the amount of C3 in the gas stream, since the intention is to
minimize the value thus resulting in a greater amount of LPG recovered.
In the suction of the first and second V-stage compressor 603 is injected
slightly naphtha (spray), coming from the top of fractionator vessel (O-503),
via a shunt the discharge J-601A / B bomb. This is to avoid gum formation in
the compressor blades that can cause an imbalance. This maneuver is
performed 2 times a week for half an hour.
6.1.2.1.1 - Flow.
The sum of the volume of water injected before the M-630A / B and
sprinkler drum washing of gases and vapors corresponds to 4% of RAT load
(atmospheric residue) to the Unit Catalytic Cracking (RFCC U-).
In the second line there is a spray nozzle gas return connection (mostly C2)
of Propylene unit (U-1200). These gases are added to the load U-600.
After the spray cylinder, the gas stream is added rich gas in the primary
absorbing background (N-612). In this combined stream is then cooled in0600060A M / B (Air Cooler) and then the M-631A / B, 612A-F / B
(resfrimento water) according to the high-pressure vessel O-636. This
cooling allows for better absorption of the heaviest fractions of the gas (LPG)
for gasoline. The product enters this coolers bank with 87C and go out
with 30 C.
In the high-pressure vessel (O-636) products are divided into three phases:
an aqueous phase, liquid hydrocarbon phase and gas phase.
The contaminated water by washing the gas is withdrawn by the vessel
bottom, flowing to the P-682 (Cargo Tank. U-640) for differential pressure.
Its purpose is to remove the lighter fractions propene (C3 +) which are
absorbed in the liquid of high pressure vessel (O-636). These gases
recovered in the rectifier tower (N-606) to return the high pressure vessel.
Thus, looking obtain a tower bottom product rectifier with a low content of
C2, so as not to significantly increase the LPG vapor pressure.
Since hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has its boiling point of ethane and propene,
the rectification system also controls the distribution of this compound in
waste gas streams and stabilized naphtha.
We must always be aware of the temperature of the system. The low
temperature may cause the drag of light by the bottom of the column,
which in addition to pressurize the Debutanizadora tower (N-616), brought
with him a higher percentage of H2S to be added to the stabilized naphtha
and LPG. This treatment eventually overloading the system with DEA (N613), and committing the caustic UHDS the gas treatment system.
A high temperature can cause the effect we call "internal circulation". That
is, typically less heavy products leaving the bottom of the column,
eventually leaving the overhead stream of the rectifier. These end totally
condensing the high pressure vessel (O-636) and therefore later returning to
rectifying tower, thus creating a vicious cycle. To correct this event, we

making it lighter and thus causing the pressurization N-503. Mainly because
before returning to this RCI fractioning flow meets another stream with a
much higher temperature ( 135).
Another important factor is the bottom sealing level the N-611. With the
loss of this level will be the passage of gas (GC) into the fractionator (N503), which end abruptly pressurizing. This drastically decreases the
separator vessel gaseous stream (K-572) to the fractionator (N-503). May
cause events such as PSV's opening fractionator (N-503); Drag catalyst to
atmosphere; Loss of catalyst seal legs of the cyclones of the separator
vessel; Product shipping to increase torch. In short, this will cause
undesirable variations in the whole process unit.
6.1.2.3.1 - Flow.
The gas phase of the O-C-636 612 enters the tower bottom, a tower just
above the liquid column, and undergoes absorption by the gas from the
second bed in 503-rings. A stabilized gasoline injection derived from the N616 of background, after being cooled to 40 C, is pumped through the J635A / B to the top of this tower, above the first bed rings completing the
first absorption stage. The rich gasoline N-background 612 is then pumped
through the J-637A / B to the high pressure vessel inlet O-636, with the unit
load, as mentioned earlier.
The N-primary absorber 612 is retrieved about 82 mol% of C3 and 89%
mole fraction of the C4 fraction contained in the gas-636.
The gas from the primary absorber (overhead stream) is sent to the
secondary absorber (N-611) where they are absorbed more light
hydrocarbons bringing the total recovery to 97 mol% C3 and C4 in 99% mol.
Net absorption of N-611 is part of RCI N-503 fractionation. The RCI, before
entering the secondary absorbing, through the M-629A (RCI Rico) and M629B (Cooling Water), where it is cooled to 30 C. The J-626a / B pump is
responsible for the elevation of RCI (poor) to the top of the absorption
column. RCI (Rico) exits the bottom of the column and heats the M-629A
(RCI poor), returning to fractionation with 65 C.
The gas exits the top of the tower and passes through the vessel 624 where
entrained droplets of absorption liquid are separated for subsequent
drainage (O-503), and proceeds to AED treatment tower with the N-601.
This system has the purpose of maintaining the pressure of the gas
recovery unit as stable as possible, thereby ensuring that there are no
disturbances in the process. This system is complemented by Gasan station
(Natural Gas - Pipeline Santos) in order to meet the refinery's needs.

Once treated, the GC leaves the top of the N-601, going to the Pressure
Control System of Gas Recovery Unit. The PV-60602, 60602A and 60973 PVcontrol system pressure, keeping it as stable as possible in about 20 kgf /
cm2. After going through the PVs fuel gas is mostly sent to Braskem Qpar as
HLR (Hydrocarbon Take Refinery passing before the O-687 vessel for liquid
retention) and the surplus if there is goes to the vessel lung O-620 where
the pressure It is controlled at about 5 kgf / cm2 pressure by controlling PV60633A.
In Gasan station, the natural gas passes first through a filter basket type,
with filtration degree of 50 microns. After the filter are installed two
automatic locking valve (XV-XV-60254 and 60253), and then two reducing
valves operated self pressure. The inlet pressure of the system is 45 kgf /
cm2, and after passing the first reduction (VP-60792), the pressure reaches
15 kgf / cm2. After passing the second reduction (VP-60794), this pressure
lowers to within 5kgf / cm2.
Off the PV-60794 have a flow-regulating, and after a registrar meter FE60118 flow, according to the vessel O-620.
The second pressure reducing valve is set to work with 5.0 kgf / cm2, that
is, when the pressure-O 620 reaches a value equal to or smaller than that, it
opens injecting gas into the system. On the other hand, when the pressure
exceeds this value, the valve closes, reducing the consumption of natural
gas.
The xvs-60253 and 60254 will be driven by the gas itself whenever the
pressure after the second reducing valve reaches 6.0 kgf / cm2. The reset
these xvs is only done by the operator on site, where you can also perform
the pressure setting of the second reduction.
The pressure control of this system is complemented by the PV-60633B,
which ensures smooth operation of this system if there is a trip of xvs in a
situation that requires natural gas injection.
In Gasan after the first pressure reduction station, there is a branch that
feeds the UDS (Unit Solvent dearomatization). Natural gas is used to make
the desorption reactors and remove the BTX (benzene-toluene-xylene),
controlled by the PV 60738, PV-PV-11201 and 11205. This gas after
circulating around the circuit and remove the BTX UDS M-1110 passes
through the cooler (cooling water), and proceeds to the vessel-1104, where
all of BTX is retained. After the gas returns to the O-620, which is added to
the refinery gas.
The O-620 fuel gas is distributed to all gas consumers in the refinery. The
main ones are: Oven (L-506) of U.D.A. (Atmospheric Distillation Unit); GV6301 boilers, GV-6302 and L-402 Utilities area.
