Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of contact process sulfuric acid production, and in particular to a start-up temperature raising system and a start-up temperature raising method for a sulfuric acid production device. Background Art

[0002] In the sulfuric acid production unit of the sulfuric acid industry, the optimal reaction temperature of the catalyst used in the conversion reaction of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide is above 400°C. Before the sulfuric acid unit is put into operation and charged, an external heat source is required to heat the catalyst bed to the optimal reaction temperature, which is generally not less than 380°C.

[0003] At present, the sulfuric acid industry usually uses a resistive gas heating furnace to heat the dry air, and then preheats the catalyst bed with the heated air. The electric heating elements in the resistive gas heating furnace are bare resistance wire (strip), electric heating tube, and silicon carbide rod. Among them, silicon carbide rods are eliminated due to unstable quality and high burnout rate. Electric heating tubes are also rarely used due to excessive unit surface load and short life. Bare resistance wire (strip) electric furnaces have the disadvantages of large volume (some cannot be directly installed on the main line), large resistance, large weight, low thermal efficiency, partial shielding or mutual interference of resistance wires in the furnace, and uneven spatial distribution (sometimes a small group of electric heating elements are disabled, and the temperature distribution in the furnace is seriously uneven, with one side cold and the other side hot). After long-term heating, the electric furnace is deformed, making it difficult to seal the flange surface, and the maintenance workload is large.

[0004] In addition to electric heating furnaces, some large-scale sulfuric acid production plants are directly equipped with preheating furnaces and preheaters, using coal, gas or diesel as heat sources for heating. However, this method has high start-up energy consumption and cost, making it uneconomical and impractical.

[0005] For sulfuric acid plants with incinerators and waste heat furnaces, the steam generated during the furnace drying process is usually of low quality and is vented, so the heat source generated by this part of the furnace is wasted. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem in the prior art that the steam generated by a sulfuric acid production device during the start-up furnace baking stage is directly discharged, resulting in a waste of heat source, and to provide a start-up temperature increase system and a start-up temperature increase method for the sulfuric acid production device.

[0007] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that in the existing sulfuric acid production device equipped with an incinerator and a waste heat furnace, electric heating is used to heat the conversion reactor during the preheating stage of start-up. The steam generated by the incinerator is usually of low quality after heat exchange in the waste heat furnace, and is generally directly vented, resulting in waste of the heat source generated by the drying furnace. However, using the high-temperature flue gas generated by the incinerator to preheat the conversion reactor can make full use of the heat in the flue gas and improve energy utilization.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a start-up temperature raising system for a sulfuric acid production device, the system comprising:

[0009] An incinerator is used to burn fuel to obtain high-temperature flue gas, wherein the high-temperature flue gas is divided into a gas and a gas;

[0010] an air duct, connected to the incinerator, for delivering oxygen to the incinerator;

[0011] A waste heat furnace, connected to the incinerator through a pipeline, for introducing the a stream of gas into the waste heat furnace for heat exchange to obtain a first low-temperature flue gas;

[0012] An air heater is connected to the incinerator through a pipeline, and the pipeline is connected to the pipeline through a pipeline, and is used to introduce heating gas into the air heater and exchange heat with the low-temperature air in the air heater to obtain a second low-temperature flue gas and high-temperature air, wherein the heating gas is the b gas or a mixture of the b gas and the first low-temperature flue gas;

[0013] The conversion reactor is connected to the air heater and is used to introduce the high-temperature air into the conversion reactor for heat exchange to obtain preheated gas.

[0014] A second aspect of the present invention provides a start-up temperature raising method for a sulfuric acid production device, which is performed in the temperature raising system described in the first aspect; the start-up temperature raising method comprises:

[0015] In the presence of oxygen-containing gas, the fuel is burned to obtain high-temperature flue gas;

[0016] The high-temperature flue gas is used to directly or indirectly heat the waste heat furnace and / or the conversion reactor, and the flow rate of the high-temperature flue gas entering the waste heat furnace and / or the conversion reactor is controlled according to the temperature of the high-temperature flue gas.

[0017] Through the above technical scheme, the present invention uses the high-temperature flue gas generated by the incinerator preheating to preheat the catalyst bed in the conversion reactor during the preheating stage of the sulfuric acid production device, thereby fully utilizing the flue gas heat and greatly saving electric energy, thereby having the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0032] Figure 1 : is a schematic diagram of the structure of the start-up temperature raising system of the sulfuric acid production device according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention provides a start-up temperature raising system for a sulfuric acid production device, the system comprising:

[0033] The incinerator 1 is used to burn the fuel to obtain high-temperature flue gas, and the high-temperature flue gas is divided into gas a and gas b;

[0034] an air duct 16, which is in communication with the incinerator 1 and is used to deliver oxygen to the incinerator 1;

[0035] The waste heat furnace 2 is connected to the incinerator 1 through a pipeline 13, and is used to introduce the a stream of gas into the waste heat furnace 2 for heat exchange to obtain a first low-temperature flue gas;

[0036] The air heater 3 is connected to the incinerator 1 through a pipeline 14, and the pipeline 13 and the pipeline 14 are connected through a pipeline 15, and is used to introduce the heating gas into the air heater 3 and exchange heat with the low-temperature air in the air heater 3 to obtain a second low-temperature flue gas and high-temperature air, wherein the heating gas is the b gas or a mixed gas of the b gas and the first low-temperature flue gas;

[0037] The conversion reactor 4 is connected to the air heater 3 and is used to introduce the high-temperature air into the conversion reactor 4 for heat exchange to obtain preheated air.

[0038] The operation process of the existing sulfuric acid production device includes a preheating stage and a production stage. In the preheating stage, the conversion reactor is generally heated by electric heating. For sulfuric acid production devices with incinerators, fuel needs to be burned in the incinerator to preheat the incinerator; the production stage is a process of catalytically oxidizing sulfur dioxide produced by the combustion of sulfur-containing substances to generate sulfur trioxide, and then reacting sulfur trioxide with water to generate sulfuric acid.

[0039] The startup heating system of the sulfuric acid production device provided in the present invention is a system for preheating the incinerator and the conversion reactor during the startup preheating stage. The high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of fuel in the incinerator 1 is directly or indirectly heat-exchanged with low-temperature air to obtain high-temperature air, and then the high-temperature air is heat-exchanged with the conversion reactor 4 to preheat the conversion reactor 4 to a specific temperature, thereby fully utilizing the heat of the high-temperature flue gas and achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0040] The present invention can short-circuit the high-temperature flue gas from the waste heat furnace 2 by bridging the pipeline 13 and the pipeline 14 with the pipeline 15 , so that the high-temperature flue gas directly enters the air heat exchanger 3 .
