Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dry gas desulfurization, and particularly to a system and method for dry gas desulfurization. Background Technology

[0002] Refinery heating furnaces typically use desulfurized dry gas as fuel, which is mixed with a fixed amount of air and burned to generate a large amount of heat for heating various media materials. The resulting flue gas is cooled after waste heat recovery and then discharged into the atmosphere. Because the desulfurized dry gas still contains 20-60 mg / Nm³ of sulfur dioxide... 3 The H2S component in flue gas produces SO2 acidic gas upon combustion. If too much waste heat is recovered from the flue gas, the exhaust temperature drops below the dew point, easily forming sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid, which corrode the equipment. Therefore, waste heat recovery from flue gas often needs to be limited to a certain range to ensure that the exhaust gas temperature is above the dew point. However, this operation will result in some heat in the flue gas not being recovered, causing the furnace thermal efficiency to be lower than 94%.

[0003] If refineries can continue to reduce the H2S content in the desulfurized dry gas, even to below 2 ppmv, they can recover more flue gas heat, keep the heating furnace thermal efficiency above 95%, and greatly reduce the company's carbon emissions.

[0004] Desulfurization of refinery fuel gas typically employs an amine process based on organic alcohol amines such as MDEA to remove H2S, aiming to meet H2S content control targets. However, due to the complex composition and high H2S content of raw fuel gas in refineries, the H2S content in the fuel gas after the amine washing process remains between 20-60 mg / Nm³. 3 The range is wide, the fluctuations are large, and the content is high, which leads to problems such as high SO2 emissions and low efficiency of the heaters when the refinery fuel gas is used as fuel for the downstream unit heaters.
