Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of power plant flue gas treatment, and particularly relates to an absorption liquid regeneration device and method for flue gas waste heat recovery. BACKGROUND

[0002] For a cogeneration unit, waste heat recovery in the recovery system is one of the best ways to increase the heating capacity without expanding the unit size. Currently, power plants usually use the water spraying method to reduce the flue gas to 50-60 DEG C before discharging, and the heat in the flue gas is not recovered, resulting in waste of energy. At the same time, the saturated wet flue gas discharged after spraying still contains part of the heat and a large amount of water vapor, which is easy to form a white smoke plume when discharged into the air; in view of the above problems, power plants usually use some means to recover the flue gas total heat and water, which not only can improve the thermal efficiency of the system, but also can save water resources.

[0003] The desulfurization slurry flash heat extraction technology is a new type of flue gas waste heat recovery technology. The technology utilizes the characteristics that the boiling point of the slurry in the wet flue gas desulfurization process will decrease with the decrease of the environmental pressure, establishes a vacuum phase change environment, makes the desulfurization slurry above the current negative pressure saturation temperature to flash, generates negative pressure steam to carry the latent heat of vaporization to the absorption heat pump to condense and release heat to the low temperature medium, so as to realize the clean and efficient recovery of the waste heat of the desulfurization slurry. The technology can achieve the multiple purposes of energy saving, water saving, improving the desulfurization efficiency and eliminating the visual pollution of the smoke plume, and can simultaneously consider energy saving and emission reduction. However, when the desulfurization slurry is flashed, a vacuum pump is needed to maintain the negative pressure environment, and the system power consumption is large. In the system for recovering the water and heat of the low temperature wet flue gas by using the absorption heat pump, the regeneration of the absorption liquid is generally realized by high temperature evaporation or low temperature flashing, and the energy consumption is also high.

[0047] Embodiments

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides an absorption liquid regeneration device for flue gas waste heat recovery, comprising: a shell 1, a first spray nozzle 2-1, a desulfurization slurry distribution pipe 3, an absorption liquid distribution pipe 7, a second spray nozzle 2-2, a demister 6, a partition plate 8, a desulfurization slurry outlet pipe 4 and an absorption liquid outlet pipe 9. The desulfurization slurry is the slurry produced after wet flue gas desulfurization in the desulfurization tower, flows into the device from the desulfurization slurry distribution pipe 3, is sprayed out through the first spray nozzle 2-1, and flashes in a negative pressure environment provided by a vacuum pump to produce flash steam and low-temperature desulfurization slurry. The low-temperature desulfurization slurry flows out from the desulfurization slurry outlet pipe 4 and is pumped back to the desulfurization tower by a low-temperature slurry pump for recycling.

[0049] The absorption liquid is dilute absorption liquid after low-temperature saturated wet flue gas water heat recovery by an absorption heat pump, enters the device from the absorption liquid distribution pipe 7, is sprayed out through the second spray nozzle 2-2, flashes and regenerates in a negative pressure environment to produce flash steam and concentrated absorption liquid, and the concentrated absorption liquid flows out from the absorption liquid outlet pipe 9 and returns to the absorption heat pump for recycling.

[0050] The partition plate 8 is a partition plate coated with a high molecular material and having a certain height, which is used to separate the absorption liquid and the desulfurization slurry to avoid their contact and mixing.

[0051] The upper part of the device is communicated, so that the whole device is maintained at the same negative pressure. The steam produced by flashing of the absorption liquid and the desulfurization slurry flows out from the steam outlet 5 and is sent to a condenser to recover water and heat therein. The vacuum of the device is maintained by a vacuum pump, and the air exhaust is also from the steam outlet 5. After the steam is condensed, the non-condensable gas is exhausted.

[0052] The specific implementation process is as follows: 2000m 3 / h of desulfurization slurry flows into the regeneration device from the desulfurization slurry distribution pipe 3 and is dispersed in the device in the form of droplets to flash, 1500m 3The absorption liquid from the absorption liquid distribution pipe 7 flows into the regeneration device and is dispersed in the form of droplets to occur flash evaporation, and the total volume of the regeneration device is 160 m 3 , and the two parts each account for half. The absolute pressure in the regeneration device is 20 kPa, and at this time, two vacuum pumps are required, with a gas extraction amount of 3700 m 3 / h and a single power of 140 kW.

[0053] In the dispersion arrangement scheme, to achieve the same desulfurization slurry and absorption liquid processing capacity and absolute pressure in the device, the following are required: (1) desulfurization slurry: the volume of the regeneration device is 120 m 3 , two vacuum pumps are required, with a gas extraction amount of 3000 m 3 / h and a single power of 110 kW; (2) absorption liquid: the volume of the regeneration device is 100 m 3 , two vacuum pumps are required, with a gas extraction amount of 2500 m 3 / h and a single power of 85 kW.

[0054] Therefore, the absorption liquid regeneration device for flue gas waste heat recovery provided in the embodiment can reduce the total volume of the regeneration system, reduce the equipment requirements of the vacuum pump, and reduce the power consumption of the vacuum pump.

[0055] The embodiment provides an absorption liquid regeneration device for flue gas waste heat recovery and a working method thereof. The device separates the inner cavity of the shell into a desulfurization slurry area and an absorption liquid regeneration area, and the two areas are only connected at the top. Such a layout can realize flash evaporation of the desulfurization slurry and the absorption liquid without interference, can ensure that flash evaporation of the desulfurization slurry and absorption liquid regeneration are simultaneously performed in the same negative pressure environment constructed by only one negative pressure device, and can reduce the number of negative pressure devices, that is, reduce investment and energy consumption. The device recovers water heat in two stages through desulfurization slurry flash evaporation and saturated wet flue gas solution absorption, effectively improves flue gas water heat recovery rate, improves the utilization efficiency of the vacuum pump by performing desulfurization slurry flash evaporation and dilute solution flash regeneration in the same flash evaporation device, and has the advantages of simple principle and structure, easy operation and maintenance, high cost performance, and good popularization and application value.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the following advantages are obtained:

[0057] The device and method recover water heat in two stages through desulfurization slurry flash evaporation and saturated wet flue gas solution absorption, effectively improve flue gas water heat recovery rate, improve the utilization efficiency of the vacuum pump by performing desulfurization slurry flash evaporation and dilute solution flash regeneration in the same flash evaporation device, and reduce the number of required vacuum pumps, thereby reducing equipment cost and vacuum pump power consumption.

[0058] Therefore, the device and the method reduce the number of vacuum pumps, i.e. reduce investment and energy consumption of the vacuum pumps, by simultaneously performing flash evaporation of the desulfurization slurry and regeneration of the absorption liquid under the same negative pressure environment and sharing the vacuum pumps. In addition, the device and the method improve the layout of the absorption liquid regeneration device, increase a coated polymer material partition in the device, and realize partitioned flash evaporation and non-interference of the desulfurization slurry and the absorption liquid.

[0059] The above embodiment is only one of the implementation manners of the technical scheme of the present application, and the scope of the present application is not limited to the above embodiment, but also includes any changes, substitutions and other implementation manners that are easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application.
