The invention discloses a device and a method for preparing high-pressure CO through pressurization
dehydrogenation and demethanization of a
nitrogen throttling expansion CO pump, and belongs to the technical field of chemical cryogenic separation. The specific structure is as follows: purified gas from the upstream is cooled by a first
heat exchanger, a stripping
tower reboiler and a second
heat exchanger in sequence and then enters a
hydrogen-rich gas flash tank; a
liquid phase at the bottom of the
hydrogen-rich gas flash tank enters a stripping
tower for continuous separation; a
liquid phase at the bottom of the stripping
tower enters a demethanizing tower for demethanizing treatment; a
gas phase at the top of the demethanization tower is completely condensed by a demethanization tower condenser and then enters a demethanization tower separation tank, a
liquid phase at the bottom of the separation tank is pressurized by a CO liquid pump and then is reheated by a second
heat exchanger and a first heat exchanger in sequence, and a high-pressure
CO product is obtained and discharged out of the cold box. The
nitrogen circulation compressor provides
nitrogen circulation
refrigeration for the cold box, one part of circulation nitrogen provides cold energy for the demethanizer condenser after being pre-cooled and throttled and then flows back to the nitrogen circulation compressor, and the other part of circulation nitrogen is expanded and refrigerated through the nitrogen expansion
machine and provides additional cold energy supplement for the cold box.
