Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of purification towers, and in particular to a purification tower for biogas purification. Background Art

[0002] Biogas purification tower is a kind of equipment used to improve the purity of methane in biogas. It is usually used to remove carbon dioxide and other impurities in biogas and improve the calorific value during combustion. At present, the biogas purification methods at home and abroad are mainly divided into: adsorption method, absorption method, membrane separation method, low temperature separation method, methane in situ enrichment method and biotechnology purification method, among which pressurized water washing method is a kind of absorption method. During pressurized water washing, carbon dioxide dissolves in water, while the amount of methane dissolved in water is much less than that of carbon dioxide. It can be considered that methane is almost insoluble in water. Therefore, methane is enriched at the top of the water washing tower and collected. When the pressure is reduced, the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water is desorbed, realizing the separation of methane and carbon dioxide and completing the purification of biogas. At the same time, wastewater containing carbon dioxide and methane can be regenerated by air blowing for recycling.

[0003] A Chinese patent (CN216024022U) discloses a pressurized water washing device for purifying water-washed biogas, including a water washing tower, the water washing tower including a shell, a water pipe and a positioning cover are wound on the outer wall of the shell, the positioning cover is arranged on the outside of the water pipe, and thermal insulation cotton is bonded to the inner wall of the positioning cover, and also includes a waste gas treatment device, the waste gas treatment device includes a dehumidification box and an absorption box.

[0004] However, there are some disadvantages in the above-mentioned related technologies. For example, in a washing tower, since the liquid is generally transported into the tower through several points on the pipeline, the flow rate at the point close to the water inlet is greater than the flow rate at the point far from the water inlet, resulting in uneven liquid distribution, channeling, deviation and wall flow, which are prone to occur, resulting in the amplification effect and end effect of the packed tower.
