Abstract
A system and a process for dimerizing cyclopentadiene (CPD) including producing a C6+C7 rich bottoms stream and a C5 rich side draw from a debutanizer, where the C5 rich side draw and at least a portion of the C6+C7 rich bottoms stream are directed to a dimerizer where the CPD is thermally dimerized to dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). DCPD is more stable than CPD and thus safer to handle.
Claims6
A system for dimerizing cyclopentadiene (CPD), the system comprising:
- a debutanizer comprising:
- a feed of C4-C7 hydrocarbons;
- a C4 hydrocarbons overhead stream;
- a C6+C7 hydrocarbons rich bottoms stream;
- and
- a C5 hydrocarbons rich side draw comprising cyclopentadiene;
- and
- a dimerizer comprising:
- a feed from the C5 hydrocarbons rich side draw comprising cyclopentadiene;
- a feed from at least a portion of the C6+C7 hydrocarbons rich bottoms stream;
- and a pyrolysis gasoline bottoms product stream.
