據烴加工2022年3月16日報道，霍尼韋爾日前宣布了一套集成烯烴套件(IOS)新技術，該新技術可以增加石腦油蒸汽裂解裝置的乙烯產量，并提高盈利能力。 IOS將為客戶提供提高投資回報、增加運營利潤、減少二氧化碳排放量和提高副產品控制水平的機會。  

IOS的特點是一組經過商業驗證的技術，在石腦油蒸汽裂解性能上產生步長變化。 通過經濟地提高石腦油裂解原料的質量，提高乙烯產量，降低低價值副產品的產量。

IOS包括三個主要部分。 原料優化部分將典型的石腦油轉化為富含正鏈烷烴的石腦油裂解原料。 正鏈烷烴將增加乙烯的產量，但降低大部分副產品的產量，有望產生更有價值的產品。

在UOP Oleflex裝置中，協同處理部分通過處理丙烷顯著增加丙烯，丙烷是在原料優化部分和其他原料來源生成的。 與在蒸汽裂解裝置中處理丙烷相比，Oleflex工藝將提供高得多的輕烯烴產量，同時也產生大量有價值的氫氣。 

副產品處理部分包括額外的處理解決方案，可以用來增加、減少或消除副產品的生產，如丁二烯、丁烯和苯，以匹配客戶的戰略目標。

霍尼韋爾UOP過程技術業務高級業務發展總監Alan Cepla表示：“IOS是行業內的首個此類產品，它創造差異化的產品，以提高石腦油裂解裝置的性能，并提高其競爭力。”“ 霍尼韋爾UOP的IOS系統可以生產更有價值的產品，增加輕烯烴的產量，并定制副產品，以滿足客戶的戰略目標。”

Honeywell announces technology to improve naphtha steam cracker performance

Honeywell announced an integrated olefin suite (IOS) of technologies that can increase ethylene production and improve profitability when added to a naphtha steam cracker. IOS provides customers the ability to improve return on investment, increase operating profits, opportunity to reduce CO2 footprint and increase the level of control over by-products.

IOS features a collection of commercially proven technologies that create a step change in naphtha cracker performance. By economically improving the quality of naphtha cracker feeds, the yield of ethylene is increased and the production of lower-value by-products are reduced.

IOS includes three main sections. The feed optimization section transforms typical naphthas into a naphtha cracker feedstock that is rich in normal paraffins. Normal paraffins increase the yield of ethylene and decrease the yield of most by-products which is expected to generate a more valuable product slate.

The co-processing section significantly increases propylene by processing propane, generated in the feed optimization section and from other feed sources, in a UOP Oleflex unit. When compared to processing propane in a steam cracking unit, the Oleflex process provides a much higher yield to light olefins, while also generating significant amounts valuable hydrogen.

The by-products handling section includes additional processing solutions that can be used to increase, decrease or eliminate the production of by-products such as butadiene, butenes and benzene to match the customer’s strategic objectives.

“The IOS is the first of its kind in the industry and creates differentiated offerings to enhance the performance of naphtha crackers and improve their competitiveness,” said Alan Cepla, Senior Business Development Director, UOP Process Technologies Business. “Honeywell UOP’s IOS produces a more valuable product slate, increasing light olefin production and tailoring by-products to meet your strategic objectives.”
