Abstract
A method for preparing ethylene, including: passing a feed stream containing C1 and C2 hydrocarbon compounds through a first heat exchanger and feeding the feed stream passed through the first heat exchanger to a second gas-liquid separator; feeding a part of a bottom discharge stream of the second gas-liquid separator to a demethanizer, passing an overhead discharge stream of the second gas-liquid separator through a second heat exchanger, feeding the overhead discharge stream of the second gas-liquid separator passed through the second heat exchanger to a third gas-liquid separator; feeding a bottom discharge stream of the third gas-liquid separator to the demethanizer; feeding a bottom discharge stream of the demethanizer to a C2 separator; feeding an overhead discharge stream of the C2 separator to a second compressor; passing a part of a compressed discharge stream of the second compressor through the first heat exchanger and feeding the part of the compressed discharge stream of the second compressor passed through the first heat exchanger to the second compressor as a first circulation flow; passing a part of the compressed discharge stream of the second compressor through the second heat exchanger and feeding the part of the compressed discharge stream of the second compressor passed through the second heat exchanger to a first compressor as a second circulation flow; and feeding a compressed discharge stream of the first compressor to the second compressor, and an apparatus for preparing ethylene for implementing the same.
