The invention discloses a double-coarseness, double-rectification, four-
tower and four-effect energy saving
distillation fuel
ethanol production
system and a using method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
ethanol energy-saving production. The
system mainly comprises a negative pressure
vinasse tower / a degassing section, a normal pressure
vinasse tower, a
medium pressure rectificationtower and a high-pressure rectification tower, and the heating
modes of all above towers are as follows: the high-pressure rectification tower is indirectly heated by a rectification tower
reboiler through adopting fresh steam,
alcohol steam from the top of the high-pressure rectification tower supplies heat to a medium-pressure rectification tower through a medium-pressure rectification tower
reboiler,
alcohol steam from the top of the medium-pressure rectification tower supplies heat to the normal pressure
vinasse tower through a normal pressure vinasse tower
reboiler,
alcohol steam from thetop of the normal pressure vinasse tower supplies heat to the negative pressure vinasse tower through a negative pressure vinasse tower reboiler, and the alcohol steam of fuel
ethanol also supplies heat to the negative pressure vinasse tower. The
system has the following advantages: the steam enters one tower, and four towers work, so the consumption in the
distillation process is maximally reduced; proteins in vinasse are not prone to be denatured, so the feed color is good, and devices are not coked and obstructed, and do not need to
shut down and to be cleaned; and a
molecular sieve has agood
dehydration effect, so low
water content, small
molecular sieve loading capacity and small device investment are achieved.
