DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] The design load elasticity of a large sulfur recovery unit is 30% to 110%. When the unit's processing capacity is lower than the lower limit of the design load, a process of co-firing gas or hydrogen is generally used. However, since the process gas flow is still small and the heat carried is low, it will make it difficult to maintain the temperature of each device in the system, and sulfur vapor will easily be retained, causing pipeline blockage. The process gas refers to the gas generated by the reaction in the combustion furnace 3 and all the remaining gases, that is, the tail gas.

[0034] Specifically, under low-load operation, due to the small process gas flow and low heat carried, the heat load of the converter and condenser cooler is insufficient, and the converter outlet temperature does not meet the process design indicators, resulting in sulfur accumulation in the pipeline. At the same time, the outlet temperature of the condenser cooler tube is too low, and the fluidity of liquid sulfur deteriorates, causing tube blockage and system shutdown.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a sulfur recovery system, including a gas supply system, a reaction system, a separation and reduction system, a cooling and absorption system, a tail gas treatment system, a first tail gas replenishment component and a second tail gas replenishment component;

[0036] The reaction system, separation and reduction system, cooling and absorption system and tail gas treatment system are connected in sequence through pipelines;

[0037] The reaction system includes a combustion furnace 3, a boiler 4 and a condensation component. The first tail gas supply component is connected between the condensation component and the combustion furnace 3, and is used to transport part of the tail gas discharged from the condensation component to the combustion furnace 3;

[0038] The second tail gas replenishing component is connected between the cooling absorption system and the separation reduction system, and is used to transport part of the tail gas discharged from the cooling absorption system to the separation reduction system.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the condensation component includes a primary condenser cooler 5, a secondary condenser cooler 6, a tertiary condenser cooler 7 and a liquid sulfur pipe 18. The primary condenser cooler 5, the secondary condenser cooler 6 and the tertiary condenser cooler 7 are connected in sequence through pipelines. A heater and a primary converter 25 are installed in sequence on the pipeline between the primary condenser cooler 5 and the secondary condenser cooler 6. A heater and a secondary converter are installed in sequence on the pipeline between the secondary condenser cooler 6 and the tertiary condenser cooler 7. The liquid sulfur pipe 18 is arranged below the primary condenser cooler 5, the secondary condenser cooler 6 and the tertiary condenser cooler 7, and the primary condenser cooler 5, the secondary condenser cooler 6 and the tertiary condenser cooler 7 are respectively connected to the liquid sulfur pipe 18 through pipelines.

[0040] The combustion gas blows gas or hydrogen into the combustion furnace 3. The high-temperature process gas generated after the combustion in the heating furnace 3 enters the boiler 4 for cooling. At the same time, the boiler 4 generates steam, and the high-temperature process gas is cooled to 320°C. Then the high-temperature process gas enters the primary condenser cooler 5 for further cooling and separation of liquid sulfur. The liquid sulfur enters the liquid sulfur pipe 18 from the primary condenser cooler 5. Then, the high-temperature process gas is heated to the required temperature by the heater, and then enters the primary converter 25 for CLAUS reaction. Then, it enters the secondary condenser cooler 6 for cooling and separation of liquid sulfur into the liquid sulfur pipe 18. Then, the high-temperature process gas enters the heater for heating again and enters the secondary converter 26 for CLAUS reaction, and finally enters the tertiary condenser cooler 7 for cooling and separation of liquid sulfur.

[0041] CLAUS reaction refers to the process in which hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is oxidized by sulfur dioxide (SO2) into sulfur and water.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the separation and reduction system includes a tail gas separator 8, a heater 9, a hydrogenation reactor 10 and a first steam generator 11, and the tail gas separator 8, the heater 9, the hydrogenation reactor 10 and the first steam generator 11 are connected in sequence through pipelines, wherein the tail gas separator 8 is connected to the exhaust port of the three-stage condensation cooler 7 through a pipeline. The tail gas discharged from the three-stage condensation cooler 7 enters the tail gas separator 8 through a pipeline, and the tail gas separator 8 further captures sulfur mist.

[0043] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the first exhaust gas replenishment component includes a first pipeline structure 19 and a first steam ejector 23. The first steam ejector 23 includes a steam inlet and a mixed gas outlet relative to each other. An exhaust gas inlet is also formed on the first steam ejector 23. The exhaust gas inlet and the steam inlet are vertically arranged. After the steam enters the nozzle from the steam inlet, it is ejected at high speed to generate low pressure, and the exhaust gas at the exhaust gas inlet is sucked in and mixed in the mixing chamber. After passing through the expansion tube, the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, and the mixed gas is ejected from the mixed gas outlet. The first steam ejector 23 is an existing steam ejector pump.

[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the first pipeline structure 19 includes a first inlet pipe, a first outlet pipe and a first steam pipe, one end of the first inlet pipe is connected to the exhaust gas inlet of the first steam injector 23, the other end of the first inlet pipe is connected to the exhaust port of the three-stage condenser cooler 7, the first outlet pipe is connected between the combustion furnace 3 and the mixed gas outlet of the first steam injector 23, and the first steam pipe is connected to the steam inlet of the first steam injector 23.

[0045] In this way, after the steam enters the nozzle from the first steam pipe through the steam inlet, it is ejected at high speed to generate low pressure, and the tail gas discharged from the tertiary condenser cooler 7 is sucked into the first inlet pipe and quickly enters the mixing chamber to mix with the steam, and then is ejected from the first outlet pipe into the combustion furnace 3, and the mixed gas of the tail gas and steam is transported to the combustion furnace 3, thereby increasing the process gas flow rate, thereby increasing the heat carried, ensuring that the heat load of the primary converter 25, the secondary converter 26, the primary condenser cooler 5, the secondary condenser cooler 6 and the tertiary condenser cooler 7 is sufficient, the outlet temperatures of the primary converter 25 and the secondary converter 26 meet the process indicators, the pipe side outlet temperatures of the primary condenser cooler 5, the secondary condenser cooler 6 and the tertiary condenser cooler 7 are not too low, the fluidity of the liquid sulfur is normal, and pipe side blockage and sulfur accumulation in the pipeline are avoided.

[0046] In this way, part of the tail gas discharged from the three-stage condenser cooler 7 enters the tail gas separator 8 through the pipeline, and the tail gas separator 8 captures the sulfur mist and then sends it to the tail gas treatment system, and the other part is pressurized and circulated through the first steam ejector 23 and sent to the combustion furnace 3, thereby increasing the process gas flow, increasing the heat carried, and ensuring that the mixed gas volume (acid gas and circulating tail gas) reaches the lower limit of the sulfur production design flexibility, thereby avoiding pipe blockage and sulfur accumulation in the pipeline.

[0047] In addition, when the load is lower than 30%, the combustion heat value of the combustion furnace 3 is insufficient, so that the furnace temperature cannot guarantee the ammonia burning temperature greater than 1250°C. If the ammonia-containing gas is introduced into the furnace, it will lead to incomplete combustion of ammonia and easily generate amides, which can promote the oxidation of SO2 into SO3, causing the catalyst to be deactivated by sulfation, and may also produce ammonia salt crystals and deposits, which will gather on the wall and block the equipment and pipelines.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the process gas flow rate is increased, the combustion calorific value of the combustion furnace 3 is sufficient, ensuring that the furnace temperature can reach the ammonia burning temperature, avoiding the problem of incomplete combustion of ammonia due to insufficient furnace temperature, generating ammonia compounds, causing the catalyst to be deactivated by sulfation, and ammonia salts crystallizing and depositing, gathering on the wall, and clogging equipment and pipelines.

[0049] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, when the load is lower than 30% and the combustion calorific value of the combustion furnace 3 is insufficient, it is still necessary to burn gas or hydrogen. However, since the first steam injector 23 transports the mixed gas of exhaust gas and steam to the combustion furnace 3, the process gas flow rate is increased, and the heat it carries is increased, the combustion calorific value of the combustion furnace 3 can be maintained, ensuring that the temperature in the furnace is appropriate.

[0050] Preferably, the first tail gas replenishment component further includes a first regulating valve 231 and a first gas flow meter 232. The first regulating valve 231 is installed on the first steam pipe to control the amount of steam entering the first steam injector 23. The first gas flow meter 232 is installed on the first inlet pipe to detect the tail gas flow. In this way, by observing the flow value of the first gas flow meter 232, the steam flow can be adjusted through the first regulating valve 231, thereby reducing or increasing the tail gas flow.

[0051] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the cooling absorption system includes a connected quenching tower 12 and a tail gas absorption tower 13 , an exhaust pipe 20 is connected between the first steam generator 11 and the air inlet of the quenching tower 12 , and the tail gas discharged from the first steam generator 11 enters the quenching tower 12 through the exhaust pipe 20 .

[0052] The tail gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 20 enters the quenching tower 12 for cooling, and the cooled tail gas enters the tail gas absorption tower 13, and is countercurrently contacted with the methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solvent, and the H2S and a small amount of CO2 in the tail gas are absorbed by the solvent.

[0053] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the exhaust gas treatment system includes an incinerator 14, a second steam generator 15 and a chimney 16 which are connected in sequence. An incineration blower 17 is installed on the incinerator 14. The exhaust port of the exhaust gas absorption tower 13 is connected to the incinerator 14 through a tail gas pipe 21. A part of the exhaust gas discharged from the tail gas absorption tower 13 enters the incinerator 14 through the tail gas pipe 21 for full combustion.

[0054] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the second exhaust gas replenishment assembly includes a second pipeline structure 22 and a second steam injector 24, and the second steam injector 24 includes a second inlet pipe, a second outlet pipe and a second steam pipe;

[0055] The second inlet pipe is connected between the exhaust gas inlet end of the second steam ejector 24 and the exhaust port of the exhaust gas absorption tower 13, one end of the second outlet pipe is connected to the mixed gas outlet end of the second steam ejector 24, and the other end of the second outlet pipe is connected to the pipeline between the exhaust gas separator tank 8 and the heater 9.

[0056] In this way, after the steam enters the nozzle through the steam inlet from the second steam pipe, it is ejected at high speed to generate low pressure, sucking the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust absorption tower 13 into the second inlet pipe and quickly entering the mixing chamber to mix with the steam, and then being ejected from the second outlet pipe into the pipeline between the exhaust gas separator tank 8 and the heater 9, thereby entering the heater 9.

[0057] A part of the tail gas discharged from the tail gas absorption tower 13 is pressurized by the second steam ejector 24 and then circulated to the tail gas heater 9, ensuring that the mixed gas volume (acid gas and circulating tail gas) reaches the lower limit of the design flexibility of the tail gas treatment system, that is, ensuring that the mixed gas volume reaches the lower limit of the processing volume of the hydrogenation reactor 10, the first steam generator 11, the quenching tower 12 and the tail gas absorption tower 13.

[0058] At the same time, another part of the tail gas discharged from the tail gas absorption tower 13 enters the incinerator 14, and is thermally incinerated with fuel gas to burn sulfides into SO2. The flue gas of the incinerator is cooled by the second steam generator 15 and then discharged to the chimney 16.

[0059] Optionally, the second inlet pipe is connected between the tail gas inlet end of the second steam ejector 24 and the tail gas pipe 21, so that the tail gas discharged from the tail gas absorption tower 13 first enters the tail gas pipe 21, and then is divided into parts of the tail gas from the tail gas pipe 21 and enters the second inlet pipe.

[0060] Preferably, the second exhaust gas replenishment component also includes a second regulating valve and a second gas flow meter. Specifically, the second regulating valve is installed on the second steam pipe, and the second gas flow meter is installed on the second inlet pipe. The second regulating valve is used to adjust the amount of steam entering the second steam pipe, and the second gas flow meter is used to detect the gas flow at the second air inlet, so as to facilitate the control of the flow of the mixed gas.

[0061] In this way, the tail gas discharged from the tail gas separator 8 enters the heater 9 for heating and then enters the hydrogenation reactor, where various sulfides are hydrolyzed and hydrogenated to be reduced to H2S. After hydrogenation, the process gas is cooled by the first steam generator 11 and then enters the exhaust pipe 20 and is sent to the quenching tower 12 for further cooling. The quenched tail gas enters the tail gas absorption tower 13, and is countercurrently contacted with the methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solvent. The H2S and a small amount of CO2 in the process gas are absorbed by the solvent. A part of the tail gas discharged from the top of the tail gas absorption tower 13 is pressurized by the second steam ejector 24 and then circulated to the front of the heater 9. The flow rate of the circulating tail gas is controlled by the second regulating valve and the second gas flow meter to ensure that the gas volume (acid gas and circulating tail gas) of the mixer reaches the lower limit of the design flexibility of the tail gas treatment system. Another part of the exhaust gas discharged from the top of the exhaust gas absorption tower 13 directly enters the exhaust pipe 21 and then enters the incinerator 14, and is thermally incinerated with fuel gas to burn sulfides into SO2. The flue gas of the incinerator 14 is cooled by the second steam generator 15 and then discharged to the chimney 16.

[0062] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the gas supply system includes an ammonia-containing gas liquid separator tank 1, an acid gas buffer tank 2 and a combustion furnace blower, wherein the ammonia-containing gas liquid separator tank 1 contains H2S and NH3, while the acid gas buffer tank 2 contains only H2S.

[0063] The ammonia-containing gas liquid separator tank 1, the acid gas buffer tank 2 and the combustion furnace blower are respectively connected to the combustion furnace 3 through pipelines.

[0064] Compared with the traditional low-load operation process, this sulfur recovery system has added the first tail gas replenishment component and the second tail gas replenishment component, which increases the process gas flow and the heat carried. Through experiments, it is found that this sulfur recovery system can achieve stable operation of the entire system when the design lower limit is 10%.
