Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of waste gas treatment, and specifically relates to a treatment method and a treatment device for waste gas containing VOCs. Background Art

[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are characteristic pollutants in oil refining and petrochemical enterprises. During the production process, VOCs mainly come from process exhaust, leakage of equipment and pipeline components, storage and transportation of volatile organic liquids, and atmospheric pollutant emissions from wastewater collection, treatment and storage facilities. They can be divided into organized emission sources and unorganized emission sources, and usually unorganized emissions account for a larger proportion.

[0003] The treatment technologies for VOCs-containing waste gas are roughly divided into recovery method, destruction method and direct utilization method. The recovery method is to use absorbent absorption, adsorbent adsorption or condensation method to recover most of the organic components in the waste gas, but the total hydrocarbon content of organic waste gas treated by such methods is still high and cannot be directly discharged in compliance with the standards. Therefore, it is also necessary to use the destruction method to treat it, that is, to use catalytic oxidation, high-temperature oxidation and other methods for deep treatment.

[0004] Among them, the fixed bed catalytic oxidation is to fill the catalyst in the fixed bed reactor, and the organic waste gas passes through the catalyst bed for catalytic oxidation reaction, releasing a large amount of heat to increase the reaction temperature step by step. Often, the temperature at the end of the catalyst bed has reached the maximum temperature allowed by the catalyst. The catalyst reacts at this temperature for a long time, resulting in a shortened catalyst life. Moreover, with the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, in order to meet emission requirements, the reaction temperature of the catalytic oxidation method will be increased, increasing the risk of catalyst deactivation due to temperature rise, thereby further shortening the catalyst life. At the same time, the existing VOCs catalytic oxidation reaction process is that the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the catalytic oxidation reactor is exchanged with the normal-temperature VOCs exhaust gas entering through a heat exchanger. Due to the increase in the exhaust gas temperature at the outlet of the catalytic oxidation reactor, the requirements for the heat exchanger are further increased. Under the condition of being made of ordinary stainless steel, the existing heat exchangers such as heat pipe type, shell and tube type, plate type heat exchanger, etc. have relatively low heat exchange efficiency. Due to the increase in heat exchange, to achieve the expected heat exchange effect, the heat exchange area needs to be further increased, which increases the investment in the heat exchanger.

[0005] CN207025073U discloses an energy-saving and highly adaptable catalytic oxidation waste gas treatment device, including a heat exchanger, a heater, a catalytic oxidation reactor, an air cooler, a reflux air system, and a heat exchanger bypass system. The reflux air system includes a reflux air device and a control component, wherein the heat exchanger cold flow outlet is connected to the heater inlet, the heater outlet is connected to the catalytic oxidation reactor inlet, and the catalytic oxidation reactor outlet is divided into two paths, one is connected to the heat exchanger hot flow inlet, and the other is connected to the reflux air device inlet; the heat exchanger hot flow outlet is connected to the air cooler inlet, and the air cooler outlet is divided into two paths, one is connected to the exhaust pipe, and the other is connected to the reflux air device inlet, and the reflux air device outlet is connected to the heater waste gas inlet; the heat exchanger bypass system connects the heat exchanger hot flow inlet and outlet. This patent can efficiently and energy-savingly treat intermittently discharged waste gas with large fluctuations in organic matter concentration, and realize safe and stable operation of the waste gas treatment device. However, this method adopts fixed bed treatment. With the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the reaction temperature needs to be further increased to meet the emission requirements. There is a risk of catalyst deactivation due to temperature rise, which will shorten the service life of the catalyst.

[0006] CN110296424A discloses an anti-scaling fluidized bed thermal storage oxidation device and a thermal oxidation method for VOCs gas, wherein the anti-scaling fluidized bed thermal storage oxidation device comprises a scrubber 1, a burner 2, a fluidized thermal storage bed 11, a cyclone separator 6 and an exhaust gas treatment device 7; the outlet of the scrubber 1 and the outlet of the burner 2 are respectively connected to the inlet of the fluidized thermal storage bed 11; the outlet of the fluidized thermal storage bed 11 is connected to the inlet of the cyclone separator 6; the outlet of the cyclone separator 6 is connected to the inlet of the exhaust gas treatment device 7; and a spherical thermal storage body layer 8 is provided inside the fluidized thermal storage bed 11. The invention provides a spherical thermal storage body layer inside the fluidized thermal storage bed, and when hot air passes through, the thermal storage body flows to generate friction, and the scale is removed and enters the cyclone separator with the wind, thereby effectively solving the problem of thermal storage body scaling and blockage, and greatly reducing the operation and maintenance costs. However, the temperature of the oxidation combustion reaction is preferably 600-1200°C, and more preferably 800°C. The reaction temperature is relatively high and the operating cost is relatively high. Summary of the invention

After the heat exchange, the purified gas is discharged out of the device. The temperature of the discharged purified gas is generally 90-300°C, preferably 120-180°C.

Five symmetrically distributed cylindrical fixed beds are arranged in the fluidized bed. The material is stainless steel, and the cross-sectional area ratio of the fluidized bed to the fixed bed is 5:1.

A backflush component is arranged on the upper part of each gas-solid separator, and the purge medium is N2.

[0034] The concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the VOCs waste gas to be treated is 5000 mg / m 3 about.

[0035] The VOCs-containing waste gas is heated to 300°C after passing through a heat exchanger or / and a heater. The heat exchanger uses the high-temperature purified gas discharged from the fixed bed for heat exchange. When the temperature after heat exchange cannot reach the required starting reaction temperature, it is heated by the heater. When the entire reaction system reaches heat balance, the heater is no longer started. The heat exchanger uses a plate heat exchanger and the heater uses an electric heater.

Moreover, due to the full utilization of heat, energy consumption can be saved by more than 24%.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Use attached Figure 1The VOCs-containing waste gas treatment device shown in the figure has a cylindrical catalytic oxidation reactor with a diameter of 2.8m. Five symmetrically distributed cylindrical fixed beds are arranged in the fluidized bed. The material is stainless steel, and the cross-sectional area ratio of the fluidized bed to the fixed bed is 5:1. Twelve symmetrically distributed gas-solid separators are arranged on the upper part of the fluidized bed. The gas-solid separator adopts a circular hole structure, and the material is a metal sintered mesh. The filter hole diameter is 50μm, and its cross-sectional size is the same as that of the fixed bed. The gas-solid separator is used to intercept the catalyst particles carried in the waste gas discharged from the fluidized bed. After separation, the gas enters the fixed bed for further oxidation. A backflush assembly is arranged on the upper part of each gas-solid separator, and the purge medium is N2.

[0040] The concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the VOCs waste gas to be treated is 8000mg / m 3 about.

[0041] The VOCs-containing waste gas is heated to 350°C after passing through a heat exchanger or / and a heater. The heat exchanger uses the high-temperature purified gas discharged from the fixed bed for heat exchange. When the temperature after heat exchange cannot reach the required starting temperature of the reactor, it is heated by the heater. When the entire reaction system reaches heat balance, the heater is no longer started. The heat exchanger uses a plate heat exchanger and the heater uses an electric heater.

The fluidized bed is filled with granular catalytic oxidation catalyst with a particle diameter of 2 mm. The amount of catalyst used is to make the reaction space velocity at 20,000 h -1 , and adjust the pressure to fluidize the particle catalyst. The reaction temperature of fluidized catalytic oxidation is maintained at 500°C by controlling the exhaust gas concentration entering the fluidized bed. The fixed bed inlet temperature is kept consistent with the gas-solid separator outlet temperature. The amount of catalyst used in the fixed bed is to ensure that the reaction volume space velocity is 10,000 h -1 The temperature of the high-temperature purified gas discharged from the fixed bed is 650°C. It is discharged after heat exchange with the room-temperature VOCs waste gas entering the catalytic oxidation reactor in the heat exchanger. The exhaust gas temperature is 220°C.

[0043] After 1000 hours of operation, the concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the discharged purified gas is always lower than 100 mg / m 3 , avoiding the occurrence of high-temperature hot spots of the catalyst and overheating of the fixed bed reaction, the service life of the catalyst is 118% of the original design life. And because the heat is fully utilized, it can save more than 29% of energy consumption.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Use attached Figure 1The VOCs-containing waste gas treatment device shown has a cylindrical catalytic oxidation reactor with a diameter of 2.8m. Five symmetrically distributed cylindrical fixed beds are set in the fluidized bed. The material is stainless steel, and the cross-sectional area ratio of the fluidized bed to the fixed bed is 5:1. Twelve symmetrically distributed gas-solid separators are set on the upper part of the fluidized bed. The gas-solid separator adopts a circular hole structure, the material is a metal sintered mesh, the filter hole diameter is 50μm, and its cross-sectional size is the same as that of the fixed bed. The gas-solid separator is used to intercept the catalyst particles carried in the oxidized waste gas discharged from the fluidized bed. After separation, the gas enters the fixed bed for further oxidation. A backflush component is set on the upper part of each gas-solid separator, and the purge medium is N2.

[0046] The concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the VOCs waste gas to be treated is 3000 mg / m 3 about.

[0047] The VOCs waste gas is heated to 280°C after passing through the heat exchanger and heater. The heat exchanger uses the high-temperature purified gas discharged from the fixed bed for heat exchange. When the temperature after heat exchange cannot reach the required starting reaction temperature, it is heated by the heater. When the entire reaction system reaches heat balance, the heater is no longer started. The heat exchanger uses a plate heat exchanger and the heater uses an electric heater.

[0048] The waste gas is transported to the fluidized bed through the waste gas inlet at the bottom of the fluidized bed. The fluidized bed is filled with granular catalytic oxidation catalyst with a particle diameter of 1.0 mm. The amount of catalyst used in the fluidized bed is such that the reaction space velocity is 30,000 h -1 , and adjust the pressure to fluidize the particle catalyst. The reaction temperature of the fluidized catalytic oxidation is maintained at 400°C by controlling the exhaust gas concentration entering the fluidized bed. The fixed bed inlet temperature is kept consistent with the gas-solid separator outlet temperature, and the amount of catalyst used in the fixed bed is such that the reaction space velocity is 30,000 h -1 The temperature of the discharged high-temperature purified gas is 480°C. It is discharged after heat exchange with the room-temperature VOCs waste gas entering the catalytic oxidation reactor in the heat exchanger. The exhaust gas temperature is 110°C.

And because the heat is fully utilized, it can save more than 16% of energy consumption.

[0050] Example 4

[0052] After 1000 hours of operation, the concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the discharged purified gas is always lower than 100 mg / m 3 , avoiding the occurrence of high-temperature hot spots of the catalyst and over-temperature of the fixed bed reaction. Compared with Example 1, due to the increase in the filtration area, the increase in bed pressure drop is avoided, which helps to further homogenize the reaction temperature, and the service life of the catalyst is 142% of the original design life.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] The difference from Example 1 is that the cylindrical fixed bed adopts a tubular structure, the outer surface of the fixed bed adopts fins, and the material is ceramic. After 1000 hours of operation, the concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the discharged purified gas is always lower than 100 mg / m 3 , avoiding the occurrence of high-temperature hot spots of the catalyst and overheating of the fixed bed reaction. Compared with Example 1, the heat transfer between the fluidized bed and the fixed bed is more sufficient, the service life of the catalyst is 136% of the original design life, and energy consumption can be saved by more than 33%.

To meet the treatment requirements, the reactor inlet temperature needs to be increased to above 500°C, and the outlet temperature is at 600-650°C for a long time. After running for 500 hours, hot spots exceeding 650°C are generated at some locations of the fixed bed catalyst, and the service life of the catalyst is 78% of the original design life.

[0057] Comparative Example 2

After 1000 hours of operation, the concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the purified gas increased to 300 mg / m 3 In the above, the exhaust gas is not deeply treated; the fluidized reaction of the catalyst causes a certain amount of loss, and the heat is not effectively utilized.

[0059] Comparative Example 3

[0060] The same as Example 1, except that the fluidized bed and the fixed bed are connected in series, the fixed bed is a bed layer, and the exhaust gas after fluidized oxidation enters the fixed bed. After 1000 hours of operation, the concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons in the discharged purified gas increased to 200 mg / m 3 As mentioned above, the exhaust gas was not deeply treated and the heat was not effectively utilized, especially hot spots exceeding 650°C were generated in some locations of the fixed bed layer, and the service life of the catalyst was 78.5% of the original design life.
