Abstract
In an HF alkylation of an isoparaffin, e.g., isobutane, with olefins, the hydrocarbon phase from the HF reactor effluent settler is charged to an HF separation zone. HF-free bottoms from the HF separation zone are charged to an isobutane stripper thereby producing HF-free isobutane vapor as overhead. The heat available in the isobutane vapor overhead is then utilized by compressing the vapor and using it as additional heat exchange fluid prior to being recycled to the HF alkylation. The compressed vapor can, for example, be used to reboil the HF separation zone, e.g., an HF stripper, heat the inner-heater on the isobutane stripper, and heat the depropanizer inner heater.
