Abstract
The present disclosure provides an apparatus for preparing oligomer including: a reactor; a gas-liquid separator; a solvent transfer line; a second transfer line; a first spray nozzle unit; and a second spray nozzle unit. The apparatus is capable of improving stability of the entire process by including a first spray nozzle unit and a second spray nozzle unit in a reactor and thus preventing by-products containing polymer substances such as C20+ from being entrained with a desired product during a reaction.
Claims6
An apparatus for preparing oligomer, comprising:
- a reactor receiving a monomer stream and a solvent stream, allowing an oligomerization reaction to proceed, and discharging a gaseous first discharge stream and a liquid second discharge stream;
- a gas-liquid separator separating the gaseous first discharge stream of the reactor into a liquid phase and a gas phase and feeding a liquid bottom discharge stream to the reactor;
- a first transfer line extending from a bottom of the gas-liquid separator to a region spaced apart from an inner wall of the reactor at a position higher than a reaction region inside the reactor and transferring the liquid bottom discharge stream of the gas-liquid separator;
- a solvent transfer line transferring the solvent stream to the reactor;
- a second transfer line separated from the solvent transfer line and transferring a part of the solvent stream to a region spaced apart from the inner wall of the reactor at a position higher than a height at which the first transfer line inside the reactor is formed;
- a first spray nozzle unit connected to an end of the first transfer line inside the reactor and having n spray nozzles formed to be spaced apart from each other, wherein n is an integer of 2 or more;
- and
- a second spray nozzle unit connected to an end of the second transfer line inside the reactor and having n−1 spray nozzles formed to be spaced apart from each other,
- wherein a spray angle of the liquid bottom discharge stream of the gas-liquid separator sprayed from the spray nozzles formed in the first spray nozzle unit is 30° to 90°, and
- wherein a spray angle of the solvent stream sprayed from the spray nozzles formed in the second spray nozzle unit is 91° to 120°.
