Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coking chemical product recovery technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for coupling crude benzene distillation and ammonia stripping waste heat. Background Technology

[0002] In the coking process, the crude benzene distillation process and the ammonia stripping process are the two most energy-intensive sub-processes in the gas purification unit.

[0003] Ammonia stripping in coking involves using distillation to desorb NH3 from residual ammonia water and other separated wastewater, thereby reducing the ammonia nitrogen content in the wastewater. This is a necessary pretreatment step for subsequent biological treatment of the wastewater. Currently, commonly used residual ammonia stripping processes in the coking industry generally include conventional atmospheric pressure stripping and heat pump stripping. Conventional atmospheric pressure stripping is a mature and stable technology, but it consumes a large amount of steam, requiring approximately 170-200 kg of low-pressure steam to treat 1 ton of residual ammonia water, resulting in high energy consumption and operating costs.

[0004] Currently, common crude benzene distillation processes in the coking industry are generally divided into atmospheric pressure superheated steam stripping and negative pressure superheated steam stripping. Atmospheric pressure superheated steam stripping is a mature and stable technology, but it consumes a large amount of steam, requiring approximately 1500 kg / h of 400°C high-temperature stripping steam per ton of crude benzene. Negative pressure superheated steam stripping utilizes a vacuum pump to extract the uncondensed non-condensable gases after the crude benzene condenser, creating a negative pressure environment for the benzene removal system. Compared to atmospheric pressure superheated steam stripping, this process requires a small investment in vacuum equipment but significantly reduces superheated steam consumption, requiring approximately 750 kg / h of 400°C high-temperature stripping steam per ton of crude benzene. However, in the two crude benzene distillation processes mentioned above, the stripping steam and crude benzene steam in the benzene stripping tower are directly condensed and cooled by circulating water after exiting the top of the stripping tower. In particular, the rising oil vapor and water vapor in the rectification section of the stripping tower, at 120–170°C, require a large amount of circulating water to cool the crude benzene steam. These high-temperature, high-quality oil-containing steams have low energy utilization rates. Improving the utilization rate of waste heat energy between different coking processes is an important means to reduce the energy consumption of coking units. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for coupling crude benzene distillation and ammonia stripping waste heat, which has low fixed investment, low operating costs and simple process flow.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for coupling benzene removal from coking and waste heat from ammonia stripping includes:

[0008] 1) The rectification section of the benzene stripping tower is divided into upper and lower sections by a baffle. The oil vapor at the top of the lower section of the rectification section enters the tube side of the intermediate oil vapor condenser for partial condensation.

[0009] 2) The liquid phase after partial condensation in the oil-vapor intermediate condenser flows by gravity to the top of the lower section of the benzene removal tower, while the partially condensed oil vapor enters the bottom of the upper section of the benzene removal tower.

[0010] 3) The liquid phase at the bottom of the upper section of the benzene stripping tower flows into the top of the lower section of the benzene stripping tower;

[0011] 4) The ammonia stripping wastewater at the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower is pumped out by the wastewater circulation pump and sent to the shell side of the oil-gas intermediate condenser to exchange heat with the oil-containing steam entering the oil-gas intermediate condenser. After heat exchange, the ammonia stripping wastewater is sent to the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower for partial flash evaporation to provide some of the rising stripping steam for the ammonia stripping operation. The other part of the rising stripping steam for the ammonia stripping operation is provided by the reboiler through a heat source.

[0012] The temperature of the oil vapor at the top of the lower section of the benzene removal tower rectification section in step 1) is 140℃~175℃.

[0013] In step 2), the temperature of the oil vapor after partial condensation in the intermediate condenser is 120℃~130℃.

[0014] The temperature of the ammonia-steamed wastewater after heat exchange in step 4) is 115℃~120℃.

[0015] A coking unit coupling benzene removal and ammonia stripping waste heat includes a benzene removal tower, an oil-gas intercooler condenser, a wastewater circulation pump, an ammonia stripping tower, and a reboiler. A closed baffle divides the rectification section of the benzene removal tower into an upper rectification section and a lower rectification section. The bottom of the upper rectification section has an upper vapor phase inlet and an upper liquid phase outlet. The top of the lower rectification section has a lower vapor phase outlet, a lower liquid phase inlet 1, and a lower liquid phase inlet 2. The lower vapor phase outlet is connected to the tube-side vapor phase inlet of the oil-gas intercooler condenser. The vapor phase outlet of the tube side of the intermediate oil-gas condenser is connected to the upper vapor phase inlet; the liquid phase outlet of the tube side of the intermediate oil-gas condenser is connected to the lower liquid phase inlet 1, and the upper liquid phase outlet is connected to the lower liquid phase inlet 2; the liquid collection area at the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower is connected to the wastewater circulation pump, and the wastewater circulation pump is connected to the shell-side inlet of the intermediate oil-gas condenser; the shell-side outlet of the intermediate oil-gas condenser is connected to the vapor phase space at the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower; the liquid collection area at the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower is connected to the reboiler inlet, and the reboiler outlet is connected to the vapor phase space at the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] 1) Compared with the existing ammonia stripping process and crude benzene distillation process, the present invention can reduce the steam consumption of the ammonia stripping process and the circulating water consumption of the crude benzene distillation process, which greatly reduces the operating cost of the ammonia stripping process and crude benzene distillation process in coking.

[0018] 2) This invention requires fewer additional equipment compared to the existing ammonia stripping and crude benzene distillation processes, and the material requirements for the equipment are reduced. The lower fixed investment and operating costs make it suitable for upgrading existing coking plants.

[0019] 3) The coking crude benzene distillation and ammonia stripping waste heat coupling method of the present invention is applicable to both atmospheric pressure superheated steam stripping crude benzene distillation process and negative pressure superheated steam stripping crude benzene distillation process.
