The present invention relates to a method for treating a cracked stream stemming from a fluid catalytic cracker unit (FCCU) in order to improve propylene recovery. The present invention also relates to the corresponding installation to implement the method.

A plant for separating at least one purified hydrocarbon stream from at least one crude hydrocarbon feed stream. The plant comprises a vessel with a single foundation. The vessel comprises an absorber section and a first divided-wall column. The first divided-wall column comprises a dividing wall, a stripper section, and a stabilization section.

The invention generally relate to processes, systems, and methods for the pyrolysis of hydrocarbon feeds containing one or more forms of mercury, e.g., the steam cracking of heavy oil, such as crude oil. Effluent from the pyrolysis is processed to remove various forms of mercury produced during the pyrolysis and/or carried over from the hydrocarbon feed.

A method for recovering C2 components in a methane-containing industrial gas includes the steps of (1) cooling a compressed methane-containing industrial gas and performing gas-liquid separation; (2) absorbing C2 components in the gas phase by using an absorbent to obtain an absorption rich liquid; (3) returning the absorption rich liquid to the compression in step (1) or mixing the absorption rich liquid with the liquid phase obtained in step (1) to obtain a mixed liquid, and depressurizing the mixed liquid or the absorption rich liquid; (4) performing methane desorption on the depressurized stream to obtain a rich absorbent, or performing second gas-liquid separation on the depressurized stream, followed by methane desorption on the second liquid phase to obtain a rich absorbent; and (5) desorbing and separating the rich absorbent to obtain a lean absorbent and an enriched gas, and recycling and reusing the lean absorbent.

A method for the desulfurization and separation of a catalytic cracking light product includes the steps of: 1) contacting a catalytic cracking light product with a desulfurization adsorbent in an adsorption desulfurization reaction unit in the presence of hydrogen for desulfurization, and optionally, carrying out gas-liquid separation on the resulting desulfurization product, to obtain a desulfurized rich gas and a desulfurized crude gasoline, wherein the catalytic cracking light product is an overhead oil-gas fraction from a catalytic cracking fractionator, or a rich gas and a crude gasoline from a catalytic cracking fractionator; and 2) separately sending the desulfurized rich gas and the desulfurized crude gasoline obtained in the step 1) to a catalytic cracking absorption stabilization system for separation, to obtain a desulfurized dry gas, a desulfurized liquefied gas and a desulfurized stabilized gasoline.
