Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide drying, and in particular to a carbon dioxide compression drying system. Background Art

[0002] For CO2 capture, storage and utilization technology, CO2 often needs to be compressed and liquefied for easy transportation and storage. In the traditional process, the high-purity CO2 captured by the carbon dioxide capture system is compressed and inter-stage cooled by the compressor unit 100 and then pressurized and cooled to 25 bar / 25 ° C. The generated CO2 needs to be further dried and dehydrated, and a part of the CO2 is used for purging the drying device after heating. After cooling, the liquid phase is separated in the separation tank, and the gas phase is sent to the drying tower together with the other part of the CO2 for adsorption drying. The drying tower often adopts a multi-tower layout, and realizes the adsorption and desorption of the bed by cyclically switching the source of the stream, and maintains continuous operation. The dried CO2 is sent to the refrigeration unit for liquefaction, and finally a liquid CO2 product at 25 bar / -25 ° C is obtained.

[0003] However, the main disadvantage of this process is its high energy consumption. The waste heat during the CO2 compression process is as high as 100-140°C, and the drying system consumes electricity to heat a portion of the CO2 for purging the drying tower. The waste heat of the purge gas after purging can reach more than 200°C, and this waste heat is often directly carried away by cooling water, resulting in a large amount of energy loss. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The carbon dioxide gas output by the three-stage compressor exchanges heat with the purge gas from the drying unit in the heat exchanger;

[0011] The purge gas after heat exchange enters the cooler for cooling, and the cooled purge gas enters the gas-liquid separator for gas-liquid separation to obtain gaseous carbon dioxide, and the gaseous carbon dioxide enters the drying unit through the first input end of the drying unit for drying;

[0089] The carbon dioxide gas (at a temperature of 220°C) after heat exchange enters the heater 3 and is heated to 240°C. The heated carbon dioxide gas enters the first drying tower 41 from the bottom inlet through the third shut-off valve 420, thereby purging the saturated adsorbent in the first drying tower 41 to obtain purge gas and regenerate the adsorbent. The purge gas is output from the top outlet of the first drying tower 41 through the second shut-off valve 410 to form the purge gas.
