April 23, 2007 - Saleh M. Al-Shahrani,
Yanbu' Refinery, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia and Yuv R. Mehra, Process &
Control Systems, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia presented a paper titled
"Start-up Experience for Value Recovery from CCR Net Gas at Yanbu'
Refinery", © Copyright 2007, Saudi Aramco, at the 2007 Spring Meeting of the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
Yanbu' Refinery Department (YR) recently converted its Semi-Regenerative
Platformer unit to UOP licensed Continuous Catalytic Regenerative (CCR)
Platforming process. To recover value from CCR net gas, an LPG
Recovery Unit utilizing a new-to-Saudi Aramco technology was installed to
maximize LPG recovery and to increase the hydrogen purity of the net gas
for use in the new Diesel Hydro-Treater unit. This paper will
describe how the enhanced absorption process was incorporated at YR to
complement the existing Saturate Gas Conditioning Unit, and share the
experience with the start-up and operations of the LPG Recovery Unit.
The recovered, higher-value LPG is separated in the existing debutanizer
column. A new three-stage propane refrigeration system is used to
chill the CCR net gas to maximize LPG recovery.
