Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing synthesis gas and aromatic hydrocarbons, and more particularly, a method for preparing synthesis gas and aromatic hydrocarbons including: supplying a pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) stream containing PFO and a pyrolysis gas oil (PGO) stream containing PGO to a distillation tower as a feed stream (S 10 ), the PFO stream and the PGO stream being discharged from a naphtha cracking center (NCC) process; and supplying a lower discharge stream from the distillation tower to a combustion chamber for a gasification process and supplying an upper discharge stream from the distillation tower to an SM/BTX preparation process (S 20 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing synthesis gas and aromatic hydrocarbons, the method comprising:
supplying a pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) stream containing PFO and a pyrolysis gas oil (PGO) stream containing PGO to a distillation tower as a feed stream (S 10 ), the PFO stream and the PGO stream being discharged from a naphtha cracking center (NCC) process; and
supplying a lower discharge stream from the distillation tower to a combustion chamber for a gasification process to obtain synthesis gas and supplying an upper discharge stream from the distillation tower to a preparation process (SM/BTX preparation process) including a preparation process of styrene (SM preparation process) and a preparation process of one or more of benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX preparation process) to obtain aromatic hydrocarbons (S 20 ),
wherein a ratio of a flow rate of the upper discharge stream from the distillation tower to a flow rate of the feed stream to be supplied to the distillation tower is 0.01 to 0.2, and
wherein a kinematic viscosity of the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower at the time of supply to the combustion chamber is controlled to have 300 cSt or less.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the flow rate of the upper discharge stream from the distillation tower to the flow rate of the feed stream to be supplied to the distillation tower is 0.1 to 0.2.

3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein a flash point of the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower is higher than a temperature of the lower discharge stream at the time of supply to the combustion chamber by 25° C. or more.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a temperature of the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower at the time of supply to the combustion chamber is 20° C. to 90° C.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower passes through a heat exchanger before being supplied to the combustion chamber.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PGO stream contains 70 wt % or more of hydrocarbons having 10-12 carbon atoms, and
wherein the PFO stream contains 70 wt % or more of hydrocarbons having 13 or more carbon atoms.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a flash point of the PGO stream is 10 to 50° C., and
wherein a flash point of the PFO stream is 70 to 200° C.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a kinematic viscosity of the PGO stream at 40° C. is 1 to 200 cSt, and
wherein a kinematic viscosity of the PFO stream at 40° C. is 400 to 100,000 cSt.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a raw pyrolysis gasoline (RPG) stream containing RPG discharged from the naphtha cracking center (NCC) process is supplied to the SM/BTX preparation process.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PGO stream is a lower discharge stream discharged from a lower portion of a first stripper after supplying a side discharge stream discharged from a side portion of a gasoline fractionator in the naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to the first stripper, and
wherein the PFO stream is a lower discharge stream discharged from a lower portion of a second stripper after supplying a lower discharge stream discharged from a lower portion of the gasoline fractionator in the naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to the second stripper.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the lower discharge stream from the gasoline fractionator is discharged at a stage of 90% or more of a total number of stages of the gasoline fractionator, and
wherein the side discharge stream from the gasoline fractionator is discharged at a stage of 10% to 70% of the total number of stages of the gasoline fractionator.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein a reflux ratio of the distillation tower is 0.01 to 10.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SM/BTM preparation process includes an SM process unit and a BTX process unit, and the upper discharge stream from the distillation tower is supplied to the SM process unit in the SM/BTX preparation process.
