Abstract:To solve the difficult problem of treating high-temperature and high concentration organic waste gas from steam purging in refining and chemical enterprises, an advanced mobile waste gas treatment technology with spray water washing, membrane separation and low-temperature catalytic oxidation, was used to treat waste gas produced during the steam cleaning and purging of splitting decomposition heavy distillate tank in a refining and chemical plant. The results showed that the concentration of non methane total hydrocarbon at inlet could reach about 24 000 mg·m?3, the temperature was between 80~95 ℃; the concentrations of non methane total hydrocarbon in exhaust gas were all lower than 12 mg·m?3, the removal rate could reach above 99%, and the recovery rate of hydrocarbon could reach 75%. The function of spray unit was to reduce the temperature of waste gas, remove acid gas and recover heavy hydrocarbon. The membrane separation unit could effectively to improve the operation stability of the device and the recovery efficiency of organic matters; the low temperature catalytic oxidation could performance advance treatment of non-condensable hydrocarbons. This technology can provide reference for control the waste gas from steam purging which troubles the petrochemical company. Key words:steam purging waste gas/ cracked heavy fraction/ spray alkali washing/ membrane separation/ low temperature catalysis/ VOCs.
