Abstract

AbstractIn the chemical industry, methanol‐to‐olefin (MTO) technology is a novel process for producing ethylene and propylene from naphtha thermal cracking. The process of recovering MTO quench water by minihydrocyclone and steam stripping treatment was successfully applied in industrial plants. The fine catalyst in the quench water is removed by the two‐stage minihydrocyclone separation. The method and equipment for this system present various advantages: the quench water can be recycled in the cooling system and prevents heat loss in heat transfer systems; and the stripping tower can be blocked by the catalyst. Maintenance activities are reduced and a stable operation cycle is extended. The proposed treatment process improves the economic efficiency of the MTO device.
