Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular relates to a process and system for recycling purified water in a methanol-to-olefins process. Background Art

[0002] MTO (Methanol to Olefins) is short for the methanol-to-olefins process, which refers to the process of preparing light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from methanol through catalytic reactions. The methanol-to-olefins reaction generally uses a fluidized bed reactor. The product gas produced contains various impurities. The product gas (ethylene and propylene) is cleaned and preliminarily cooled through a quench tower and a water wash tower. The water wash water after washing contains a small amount of catalyst and oil substances (such as by-products like mixed alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and coke). Part of the water wash water enters a stripping tower for stripping and purification. The syngas at the top of the stripping tower is sent to an olefin synthesis unit after purification, and the organic substances recovered at the top of the tower (including methanol, dimethyl ether, aldehydes, ketones, etc.) are sent back to the fluidized bed reactor for recycling; the water at the bottom of the tower is the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process. Currently, the purified water in most methanol-to-olefins processes is discharged to a sewage treatment plant for treatment through a purified water pump. The process flow of the purified water system in the methanol-to-olefins process is shown in Figure 1 as follows.

[0003] Since side reactions occur during the MTO reaction process, a small amount of macromolecular organic substances are generated. Such macromolecular organic substances are prone to condensation at lower temperatures and accumulate in the water wash tower and quench tower to form oil substances. After mixing with catalyst fines, they deposit in the water system, causing blockage of the stripping tower trays and a decrease in the heat exchange efficiency of heat exchange equipment, affecting the long-term operation of the device. To extend the continuous operation cycle of the device and improve the possible adverse effects of oil substances on the entire reaction system, many MTO devices supplement turbine condensate in the stripping tower feed to improve water quality, but at the same time, it brings problems such as a large consumption of steam condensate and an increase in sewage discharge. In the process of methanol-to-olefins, other process steps also require the supplementation of steam condensate, which also causes the consumption of steam condensate.

[0004] Patent CN107382654A discloses a method and device for separating quench water in a methanol-to-olefins process by a boiling fluidized bed. Patent CN205031975U discloses a device for purifying quench water and water wash water using a metal sintered filter element. The above patents all have disadvantages such as low filtration accuracy, inability to remove oil substances (the main cause of fouling), and poor quality of the recycled water. At the same time, they cannot replace the operation mode of supplementing condensate to improve water quality adopted by most current similar MTO devices, and both the operation consumption and the sewage discharge are relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process mainly contains suspended solids and oil substances. The suspended solids are mainly the catalysts used in the methanol-to-olefins process, and the oil substances have a relatively high viscosity. When coexisting with the fine catalyst powder, they are extremely likely to form fouling and blockage in the system. Therefore, at present, most of the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process is sent to the sewage treatment plant for treatment. In view of this technical status, the present invention provides a reuse process and a reuse system for the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process.

[0006] The present invention treats the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process through a membrane module. By using the membrane module to remove suspended solid particles and oil substances, most of its suspended solid particles and oil substances can be intercepted, so that the final filtrate (i.e., the produced water) can be reused. The produced water can be reused in the stripping tower system or the olefin separation system, or can also be reused in other systems, while the concentrated liquid concentrated by the membrane module is discharged to the sewage treatment plant for treatment.

[0007] The object of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention first provides a reuse process for the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process, including the following steps:

[0009] The purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process enters the KMPR filter. The KMPR filter includes a membrane box and a membrane module disposed in the membrane box.

[0010] The membrane module in the KMPR filter intercepts the suspended solid particles and oil substances in the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process.

[0011] The produced water of the KMPR filter is the final filtrate, and the produced water can be reused. The produced water can be reused in the stripping tower system or the olefin separation system, or can also be reused in other systems. The concentrated liquid of the KMPR filter is collected for separate treatment.

[0012] In an embodiment of the reuse process for the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process of the present invention, an aeration device is provided at the bottom of the KMPR filter. By distributing the gas into the aeration device at the bottom of the KMPR filter, the aeration device evenly aerates to achieve the flushing and shaking of the membrane module, prevent the solid particles from blocking the membrane pores, prevent the oil substances from adhering to the membrane surface, and at the same time can ensure that the liquid in the membrane box is more evenly mixed.

[0013] In an embodiment of the reuse process for the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process of the present invention, the gas introduced into the aeration device can be compressed air or other gases, preferably nitrogen or other inert gases.

[0014] In an embodiment of the reuse process for the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process of the present invention, after the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process is mixed with the gas, it enters the membrane box of the KMPR filter through a microbubble generator.

[0015] When setting up the microbubble generator, the purified water from the methanol-to-olefins process enters the membrane box. Preferably, after being mixed with gas, it enters the membrane box through the microbubble generator. Under the action of the tiny bubbles generated by the microbubble generator, oil and light suspended solids float to the water surface, reducing the pollution of substances such as oil and suspended solids to the membrane module. Equipment such as pumps, mixers, and ejectors that can generate microbubbles ranging from micrometers to nanometers through gas-liquid mixing can all be classified as a type of microbubble generator.

[0016] The microbubble generator can be selected from ejectors, dissolved air pumps, or other devices where gas and liquid can be mixed.

[0017] In one embodiment of the reuse process of the purified water from the methanol-to-olefins process of the present invention, the concentrated liquid collected for separate treatment can be discharged to a sewage treatment plant for treatment.

The reuse process of the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process according to claim 1, characterized in that, The water produced by the KMPR filter (2) also goes to the backwash water tank (8). The water in the backwash water tank (8) periodically backwashes the membrane module (3) in the KMPR filter (2).

4. The reuse process of the purified water in the methanol-to-olefins process according to claim 1, characterized in that, The backwash pressure of the KMPR filter (2) is selected to be 0.01 - 0.1 MPa. The backwash cycle of the KMPR filter (2) is selected to be 100 - 240 min. The backwash time of the KMPR filter (2) is selected to be 50 - 100 s.
