Abstract: This method comprises passing a residual stream into a flash drum to form a gaseous overhead flow and liquid bottom flow, and feeding the bottom flow into a distillation column, It comprises cooling the overhead flow in a heat exchanger to form a cooled overhead flow. It comprises the extraction of a gaseous overhead stream at the head of the distillation column, and the formation of at least one effluent stream from the overhead stream and/or from the top stream. The separation of the cooled overhead flow comprises passing the cooled overhead flow into an absorber, and injecting a methane-rich stream into the absorber to place the cooled overhead flow in contact with the methane-rich stream.

Abstract: A method for producing a stream of propylene and associated facility are described. The method includes: an introduction of a feed cut rich in C4 and/or C5 hydrocarbons, and at least one cut rich in ethylene into a metathesis reactor; an introduction of a metathesis product in a deethylenizer; a production of an overhead stream rich in ethylene and a feed stream; an introduction of the feed stream into a depropylenizer and recovery of a bottom stream containing C4+ hydrocarbons; a recovery, from an overhead stream of the depropylenizer, of the propylene stream; a lateral withdrawal of a recycle stream and return of the recycle stream to the metathesis reactor; a lateral draw-off, in the depropylenizer, of a purge rich in C4 paraffinic hydrocarbons and/or rich in isobutene.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for improved yields of propylene via metathesis, primarily from the conversion of C4 and C5+ olefins obtained from steam or fluid catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons. In particular, the present disclosure relates to processes for preparing propylene by improved isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butene relative to the metathesis reaction.

Abstract: This method comprises: forming an expanded intermediate recirculation stream (170) from a liquid (112, 128) obtained during an upstream cooling and/or intermediate cooling step, upstream from the downstream cooling step; circulating the intermediate recirculation stream (170) at least in an upstream heat exchanger (42) to cool an upstream stream of cracked gas (102); reintroducing the reheated intermediate recirculation stream (170) in a raw cracked gas (20) upstream from at least one compressor (36, 38) of a cooling and compression stage (24). The upstream, intermediate and downstream cooling steps is carried out without a heat exchanger respectively of an upstream stream of cracked gas (102), an intermediate stream of cracked gas (114) and a downstream stream of cracked gas (140) with an external refrigeration cycle.

Abstract: This method comprises the following steps: treating a feed stream (12) to obtain a treated gas stream (60); cooling the treated gas stream (60) in a heat exchanger (34) to form at least one column feed fraction; feeding each column feed fraction into a distillation column (50); heating at least one downstream flow (106) derived from the column head stream (104) in the heat exchanger (34). The treatment step comprises the forming of an intermediate stream (20) containing at least 20 mole % ethylene and at least 20 mole % carbon monoxide, the method comprising a step to remove the carbon monoxide contained in the intermediate stream (20).
