  • Publication number: 20200115301
    Abstract: A process for recovering ethylene from an FCC absorber off-gas stream comprising ethylene, ethane and heavier hydrocarbons and light gases involves removing hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur species, carbon monoxide/dioxide, methane and other impurities from the off-gas. An absorption zone is upstream of an acetylene selective hydrotreating reactor to remove acid gases. An adsorption zone is downstream of the selective hydrotreating reactor to remove impurities that can impair ethylene recovery.
