When the parameters exceed the preset threshold, the central control system automatically adjusts the compressor operating parameters or issues a warning signal. The preset threshold is determined according to the safe operation specifications and performance characteristics of the compressor.

[0014] Furthermore, the composite metal oxide desulfurizer in the desulfurization tower is composed of copper oxide, zinc oxide and manganese oxide in a specific molar ratio ranging from 3:2:1 to 5:3:2.

[0020] On the other hand, a method for converting excess gaseous carbon dioxide produced as a byproduct of synthetic ammonia is provided, characterized in that the method comprises the following specific steps:

[0021] S1. Collection and pretreatment of gaseous carbon dioxide: The excess gaseous carbon dioxide produced as a byproduct of synthetic ammonia enters the precooling heat exchanger through the air intake pipe. According to the heat exchange algorithm of the precooling heat exchanger, Q = K × A × ΔT × f (P, T in ,T out ) for pre-cooling, and then enters the buffer tank, where the multi-layer elastic diaphragm structure in the buffer tank buffers pressure fluctuations, and the nanofiber composite filter is used to initially separate impurities;

[0024] S4. Storage and external sales: Liquid carbon dioxide enters the secondary distillation tower from the secondary condenser, further removes residual light component impurities under specific temperature and pressure conditions, and then enters the recooler according to the refrigeration cycle algorithm. After recooling, it is sent to the storage tank for storage. During the continuous and stable production period, part of the food-grade carbon dioxide is sold out according to the storage tank liquid level and market demand;

[0025] S5. Emergency gasification and supply: When the failure of the synthetic ammonia unit causes the interruption of the production of raw carbon dioxide in the alkali industry, the liquid carbon dioxide in the storage tank enters the vaporizer and is gasified according to the efficient heat conduction algorithm.

[0028] (2) The system is specially equipped with an emergency gasification and supply module, which includes a vaporizer, a pressure reducing device, a steam flow regulating valve and a one-button start control system. When a failure in the synthetic ammonia unit causes the interruption of the supply of raw carbon dioxide for the combined alkali production, the module can be quickly started to gasify the liquid carbon dioxide in the storage tank into gaseous carbon dioxide, and adjust its pressure and flow to meet the needs of combined alkali production. This emergency gasification and supply function not only ensures the stable operation of combined alkali production, but also avoids production stagnation and economic losses caused by raw material interruption. At the same time, the system is also equipped with an external liquid carbon dioxide tank truck unloading and filling device. When the liquid carbon dioxide reserve in the storage tank is insufficient, the raw material can be replenished in time to ensure the continuous operation of the system.
