Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air pollution control and carbon emission reduction, and specifically relates to a flue gas carbon capture whole-process absorbent high-efficiency loss reduction device and a flexible control method. Background Art
[0002] Carbon dioxide capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) is a technology to achieve efficient carbon emission reduction in energy systems, among which carbon capture technology is the key to achieving CCUS. At present, chemical absorption method is relatively mature in carbon capture technology and has been industrialized. Among them, amine solution is a commonly used absorbent in chemical absorption method, but it usually has the characteristics of high regeneration energy requirements. Ammonia water, as a substitute for amine, has the characteristics of high absorption capacity and low absorbent regeneration energy requirements.
[0003] When using ammonia water as the absorbent, due to its strong volatility, it is more likely to escape in a high-temperature desorption environment, reducing the ammonia concentration and causing a decline in the performance of the capture process. In addition, the evaporated ammonia in the desorption tower may react with the CO2 in the gas phase to form ammonium salt crystals, which can cause pipe and valve blockages, leading to increased pressure and ultimately the capture system stopping operation. Summary of the invention

[0007] Furthermore, the CO2 absorption tower is composed of an absorption tower packing layer, an absorption tower spray section and an absorption tower demister from bottom to top, and the CO2 desorption tower is composed of a bottom gas lift cap, a desorption tower packing layer, a desorption tower nozzle, a washing section gas lift cap, a washing section nozzle and a desorption tower demister from bottom to top.
[0008] A method for reducing absorbent loss in the whole process of flue gas carbon capture by the above-mentioned device, including suppression of ammonia absorbent escape during CO2 absorption and desorption processes and efficient recovery of ammonia absorbent after desorption;
[0009] The ammonia absorbent is a mixed solution of ammonia, alkanol and water, which inhibits ammonia escape through the interaction between ammonia and alcohol molecules; the ammonia absorbent captures CO2 in the CO2 absorption tower to form a rich liquid, i.e., an ammonium bicarbonate product, and the CO2-rich ammonia solution and alcohol are separated through an anti-scaling spiral centrifuge. The ammonia solution enters the CO2 desorption tower as a rich liquid, and the alcohol solution enters the bottom of the CO2 desorption tower as a stripping agent after passing through a reboiler. Each section inside the CO2 desorption tower is separated by a gas cap, and the ammonia solution does not enter the reboiler, thereby achieving the escape inhibition of the ammonia absorbent; a water washing device is arranged in the CO2 desorption tower, and a part of the ammonia absorbent entrained by CO2 is recovered by utilizing the high solubility of ammonia and alcohol in water. A gas-liquid separation device is arranged at the outlet of the CO2 desorption tower to recover the moisture of the CO2 gas flow to adjust the water balance of the system, thereby achieving efficient recovery of the ammonia absorbent after desorption.
[0010] Furthermore, the ammonia absorbent comprises, by weight, 3-10 wt.% ammonia, 30-50 wt.% alkanol and 40-60 wt.% water, wherein the alkanol comprises one or more of methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol and propylene glycol.
[0011] A method for reducing absorbent loss in the whole process of flue gas carbon capture, specifically comprising the following steps:
[0012] 1) Flue gas enters the CO2 absorption tower, passes through the absorption tower packing layer and the absorption tower spray section in sequence, and the spray inlet temperature is controlled by the first heat exchanger. The ammonia absorbent enters the CO2 absorption tower through spraying, and fully contacts with the flue gas in the absorption tower packing layer to undergo absorption reaction. The rich liquid after the reaction enters the anti-scaling spiral centrifuge, and the rich liquid is separated into ammonia solution rich in CO2 and alcohol solution. The ammonia solution is transported to the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger for heat exchange and then enters the CO2 desorption tower, and the alcohol solution is transported to the alcohol storage tank;
[0013] 2) After the ammonia solution enters the CO2 desorption tower, it passes through the desorption tower nozzle and the desorption tower packing layer and falls into the bottom gas lift cap. The absorption liquid exits the CO2 desorption tower and enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger for cooling;
[0014] 3) The alcohol solution enters the reboiler through the compressor for reboiling, and enters the CO2 desorption tower as a stripping carrier, reducing the CO2 partial pressure in the CO2 desorption tower and lowering the desorption temperature to below 80°C;
[0015] 4) The desorbed CO2 enters the water washing section through the washing section gas cap for washing. The washing process removes part of the gaseous ammonia, gaseous alcohol and aerosol produced by part of the desorption process. The washed gas leaves the CO2 desorption tower and passes through the corresponding second heat exchanger and gas-liquid separator to become highly concentrated CO2 gas and reflux solvent. The CO2 gas is used to prepare the alcohol solution.
[0016] 5) The reflux solvent and the washing slurry are injected into the liquid storage tank together, and the absorbent in the liquid storage tank is pumped into the water washing section of the CO2 desorption tower for recycling through a circulating pump; when the liquid level in the liquid storage tank reaches a certain height, the absorbent is transported to the first heat exchanger to mix with the lean liquid for absorption in the CO2 absorption tower.
[0017] A flexible control method for a flue gas carbon capture whole process absorbent high efficiency loss reduction device comprises the following steps:
[0018] S1: Based on online monitoring and offline data, a database covering multi-equipment and multi-scale flue gas parameters, absorption liquid, recovery liquid and stripping steam parameters is established. The parameters include flue gas flow rate G, pH value of each part i , temperature T i , circulation volume L i ;
[0019] S2: Based on the database established in S1, establish an optimization model for efficient absorption and efficient recovery control of absorbents under different working conditions, optimize the proportional-differential-integral controller, regulate the system water balance and absorbent component balance, support the system optimization operation of the absorbent recovery system and the CO2 absorption system, and set each optimization model as follows: Taking CO2 removal efficiency as the control target, based on the established flue gas flow G prediction parameter, establish an optimization control model for the pH value pH1 of the CO2 absorption tower and the circulation volume L1;
[0020] Taking desorption energy consumption as the control target, based on the established absorption tower control model, the desorption partial alcohol steam stripping temperature T is established. j , circulation volume L j Optimization control model, where j = 2, 3;
[0021] S3: Establish a key parameter control model, determine the amount of escaped ammonia through the pH value and circulation volume of the water wash liquid in the desorption tower, and determine the amount of supplementary ammonia alcohol liquid and the amount of lean liquid added from the liquid storage tank through the pH value of the outlet lean liquid of the CO2 desorption tower;
[0022] S4: Compare the real-time data with the database analysis. According to the comparison results, use the best control amount as the input of the proportional-differential-integral controller to timely adjust the pH value of each part and each module to achieve automatic control of the absorbent circulation amount and the amount of stripping alcohol used.
