Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis tail gas separation device, which includes a second decarbonization tower 10, a dehydrogenation tower 20, and a methane distillation tower 30 connected in sequence. The separation device also includes a first reboiler 31, a first condenser 21, and a second condenser 32. The first reboiler 31 has a first heat exchange channel and a second heat exchange channel. The first heat exchange channel is used for heat exchange with the second heat exchange channel. The first heat exchange channel is connected to the bottom of the methane distillation tower 30. The gaseous light component outlet of the second decarbonization tower 10 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange channel to provide a heat source for the first reboiler 31. The inlet of the first condenser 21 is connected to the top of the dehydrogenation tower 20. The second condenser 32 has a third heat exchange channel and a fourth heat exchange channel. The third heat exchange channel is used for heat exchange with the fourth heat exchange channel. The inlet of the third heat exchange channel is connected to the gaseous light component outlet of the methane distillation tower 30. The outlet of the first condenser 21 is connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchange channel to provide a cold source for the second condenser 32. In this embodiment, the pressure at the top of the second decarbonization tower 10, the pressure at the top of the dehydrogenation tower 20, and the pressure at the top of the methane distillation tower 30 decrease in sequence. In this embodiment, a second reboiler 13 is provided at the bottom of the second decarbonization tower 10.
[0030] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, the outlet of the gaseous light component of the second decarbonization tower 10 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange channel, which can provide a heat source for the first reboiler 31; the outlet of the first condenser 21 is connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32, which can provide a cold source for the second condenser 32. Such an arrangement can reduce the number of cryogenic units in the separation device, reducing the cost and operating energy consumption of the separation device. The condenser and the reboiler at the bottom of the methane distillation tower in the prior art both require a large amount of mixed refrigerant to provide a cold source and a heat source. The present separation device can use the top gas phase component of the second decarbonization tower 10 as the heat source of the first reboiler 31 at the bottom of the methane distillation tower 30, and the condensed gas at the top of the dehydrogenation tower 20 as the cold source of the second condenser 32 at the top of the methane distillation tower 30, so that the heat at different temperatures is coupled, effectively reducing the consumption of the mixed refrigerant, maximizing the use of existing working conditions, reducing investment costs, and achieving the purpose of energy saving and consumption reduction, providing a basic guarantee for cost reduction and efficiency improvement of the device.
[0031] Specifically, a first reflux port is provided at the top of the second decarbonization tower 10, and the separation device further includes a third condenser 11 and a first reflux tank 12 connected in sequence. The inlet of the third condenser 11 is connected to the gaseous light component outlet of the second decarbonization tower 10; the first connecting port of the first reflux tank 12 is connected to the first reflux port to pass materials into the second decarbonization tower 10; and the second connecting port of the first reflux tank 12 is connected to the feed port of the dehydrogenation tower 20 to pass materials into the dehydrogenation tower 20. A primary gaseous product is produced at the top of the second decarbonization tower 10. The primary gaseous product mainly includes gases such as hydrogen and methane, and includes trace amounts of carbon-2 components such as ethane and ethylene. The first stream of the primary gaseous product is condensed by the third condenser 11 and enters the first reflux tank 12. The gaseous components flowing into the first reflux tank 12 are passed into the dehydrogenation tower 20 for dehydrogenation treatment, and the liquid components are refluxed into the second decarbonization tower 10 for further distillation to improve the purity of the product. The second stream of the primary gaseous product is introduced into the second heat exchange channel of the first reboiler 31 and thermally coupled with the material at the bottom of the methane distillation tower 30 .
[0032] Furthermore, the outlet of the second heat exchange channel of the first reboiler 31 is connected to the third connecting port of the first reflux drum 12, so that material can be introduced into the first reflux drum 12. This arrangement allows the second stream of the primary gaseous product, which has exchanged heat with the material at the bottom of the methane distillation column 30, to be re-introduced into the first reflux drum 12 after heat exchange. This arrangement maximizes resource utilization of this stream material and fully realizes its value. That is, after heat exchange, this stream material is returned to the first reflux drum 12 for subsequent processing without affecting the output of subsequent stages, thereby achieving energy conservation.
[0033] Furthermore, the separation device further includes a pressure swing adsorption unit 40; the outlet of the first condenser 21 is connected to the feed inlet of the pressure swing adsorption unit 40 to feed the material into the pressure swing adsorption unit 40.

[0034] Furthermore, the outlet of the fourth heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 is connected to the feed port of the pressure swing adsorption unit 40 to feed the material into the pressure swing adsorption unit 40. This arrangement allows the material stream to undergo heat exchange before flowing to the pressure swing adsorption unit 40 for subsequent processing, without affecting the output of subsequent stages. This maximizes resource utilization of the material stream and fully realizes the value of the material stream.

Such a setting can further ensure the purity of the secondary gaseous products.
[0036] Furthermore, the second connecting port of the second reflux tank 22 is connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 to pass materials into the fourth heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32; such an arrangement can enable part of the secondary gaseous products to serve as the cold source of the second condenser 32 after condensation, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect with the material in the third heat exchange channel in the second condenser 32.
[0037] Furthermore, the second connecting port of the second reflux tank 22 is connected to the feed port of the pressure swing adsorption unit 40 to feed the material into the pressure swing adsorption unit 40. This configuration allows the remaining portion of the secondary gaseous product after condensation to be fed into the pressure swing adsorption unit, further ensuring the purity of the generated hydrogen.
[0038] Furthermore, a third reflux port is provided at the top of the methane distillation tower 30, and the separation device also includes a third reflux tank 33, which is arranged between the second condenser 32 and the methane distillation tower 30, and the outlet of the third heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 is connected to the inlet of the third reflux tank 33; such a setting can enable the secondary gaseous product after heat exchange in the second condenser 32 to be reused without affecting the output of subsequent work sections, thereby maximizing the resource utilization of the stream material and giving full play to the value of the stream material.
[0039] Furthermore, the first connecting port of the third reflux tank 33 is connected to the third reflux port to feed materials into the methane rectification column 30. This arrangement can improve the distillation effect of the secondary gaseous product and ensure the purity of the prepared hydrogen.
[0040] Furthermore, the separation device further includes a gas pipeline 50, and the second connecting port of the third reflux tank 33 is connected to the gas pipeline 50 to allow materials to be introduced into the gas pipeline 50. This arrangement can ensure the balance of the fuel gas system of the on-site kerosene production device.
[0041] Specifically, the temperature of the gas phase light component outlet at the top of the second decarbonization tower 10 is -60°C, and the temperature of the outlet of the first condenser 21 is -109°C; the temperature of the inlet of the first heat exchange channel of the first reboiler 31 is -112°C, and the temperature of the outlet of the first heat exchange channel of the first reboiler 31 is -108°C; the temperature of the inlet of the second heat exchange channel of the first reboiler 31 is -60°C, and the temperature of the outlet of the second heat exchange channel of the first reboiler 31 is -109°C; the temperature of the outlet of the first condenser 21 is -176°C, the temperature of the inlet of the fourth heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 is -176°C, and the temperature of the outlet of the fourth heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 is -161°C; the temperature of the inlet of the third heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 is -156°C, and the temperature of the outlet of the third heat exchange channel of the second condenser 32 is -157°C.
[0042] Furthermore, the separation device also includes a decarbonization tower 3 60 and a fourth condenser 61 and a fourth reflux tank 62 connected in sequence.
