Background
The petroleum chemical and coal chemical products inevitably produce oil evaporation in the processes of storage, transportation and the like, so that oil loss and oil gas pollution are caused. The oil gas contains various hydrocarbon organic compounds, and if the volatilized oil gas is not recycled, waste is generated and the environment is polluted. At present, the national strict regulation requirements on the emission of atmospheric pollutants, and the emission of oil gas must meet the emission standards regulated by the nation, so that the oil gas recovery must be carried out.
In the prior art, oil gas recovery mainly comprises technologies such as an absorption method, an adsorption method, a condensation method and a membrane separation method, and the most widely used method at present is an activated carbon adsorption method, and in addition, methods combining absorption + adsorption, condensation + adsorption and the like in pairs are also available, but various problems exist in the methods. The absorption method is a process for absorbing oil gas by using an absorbent by utilizing the principle of similar and compatible organic matters, generally has low efficiency, and can not reach the standard only by adopting the absorption method; the adsorption method is a process for adsorbing oil gas by using an adsorbent, and although the process is simple, the adsorption method cannot reach the standard; the condensation method is a process of condensing oil gas by a condensing agent through a heat exchanger and then recovering the oil gas, and has low condensation temperature and large energy consumption; the membrane separation method is a process for separating and recovering oil and gas by utilizing the selective permeability of a polymeric membrane, and the cost of the separation membrane is high and a certain concentration difference between two sides of the membrane needs to be maintained. The emission concentration of organic matter is not up to standard after the oil gas treatment, if the oil gas temperature of handling is too high, active carbon adsorption effect can descend to the adsorption process can make the active carbon temperature rise for exothermic process, and adsorption efficiency also can be reduced. The absorption and adsorption combined method generally has the problems of high energy consumption and substandard emission.
