Abstract
A system and process for acetylene selective hydrogenation of an ethylene rich gas stream. An ethylene rich gas supply comprising at least HS, CO, CO, and acetylene is directed to a first treatment unit for removing HS and optionally COfrom the gas stream. A CO oxidation reactor is used to convert CO to COand form a CO-depleted gas stream. A second treatment unit removes the COfrom the CO-depleted gas stream and an acetylene selective hydrogenation treats the CO-depleted gas stream.
