Related technologies require towers such as denitrification towers, desulfurization towers, scrubbing towers, absorption towers, regeneration towers, cooling towers, and related equipment connecting the towers for circulation. However, the numerous towers in these technologies result in a large system footprint. Materials between adjacent towers are transported via pipelines, but the long pipeline distances and significant losses of cooling capacity during transport can easily reduce the overall system efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, embodiments of this invention propose an integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas, which has a small footprint and a high degree of system integration.

[0004] The integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0005] A flue gas purification assembly includes a flue gas removal unit, an absorption unit, a regeneration unit, and a storage unit. Flue gas discharged from a power plant boiler passes sequentially through the flue gas removal unit and the absorption unit to remove pollutants from the flue gas. The regeneration unit is connected to the absorption unit so that the absorbent reacting with the flue gas in the absorption unit is passed into the regeneration unit for regeneration. The regenerated absorbent is then passed back into the absorption unit. The storage unit is connected to the absorption unit to store a portion of the gas discharged from the absorption unit.

[0006] A first cooling tower and a second cooling tower, wherein the flue gas removal unit is arranged inside the first cooling tower, and the flue gas removal unit includes a desulfurization tower and a denitrification tower connected together, with the denitrification tower located below the desulfurization tower.

[0008] The integrated flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of this invention arranges the flue gas removal unit and the regeneration unit in the first cooling tower and the second cooling tower, respectively.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first cooling tower includes a first tower body and a first cooling wall, the first cooling wall being annular and positioned below the first tower body, and the first cooling wall having a first cooling gap to allow outside air to pass through the first cooling gap.

[0011] In some embodiments, the internal space of the second cooling tower is divided into an installation area and a cooling area, the cooling area being annular and arranged around the installation area, and the regeneration unit being arranged within the installation area.

[0012] In some embodiments, in a plane orthogonal to the height direction of the second cooling tower, the ratio of the projected area of ​​the installation area to the projected area of ​​the second cooling tower is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.6.

[0013] In some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a plurality of reboilers arranged at circumferential intervals along the regeneration tower.

[0014] In some embodiments, the regeneration unit further includes a connected MVR compressor and a flash tank, the flash tank being connected to the drain port of the regeneration tower and the MVR compressor being connected to the inlet port of the regeneration tower.

[0015] In some embodiments, a heat exchanger is further included, which is connected to both the absorption unit and the flash tank, so as to exchange heat between the rich absorbent discharged from the absorption unit and the lean absorbent discharged from the flash tank, and the rich absorbent after heat exchange is fed into the regeneration tower, and the lean absorbent after heat exchange is fed into the absorption unit.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cooling unit includes a water cooler and a separator connected together.

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a flue gas purification component, a first cooling tower 21, and a second cooling tower 22.

[0027] The flue gas purification assembly includes a flue gas removal unit 11, an absorption unit 12, a regeneration unit, and a storage unit. Flue gas discharged from the power plant boiler sequentially passes through the flue gas removal unit 11 and the absorption unit 12 to remove pollutants. The regeneration unit is connected to the absorption unit 12 so that the absorbent reacting with the flue gas in the absorption unit 12 is passed into the regeneration unit for regeneration. The regenerated absorbent is then passed back into the absorption unit 12. The storage unit is connected to the absorption unit 12 to store a portion of the gas discharged from the absorption unit 12. The flue gas removal unit 11 is arranged inside the first cooling tower 21. The flue gas removal unit 11 includes a connected desulfurization tower and a denitrification tower, with the denitrification tower located below the desulfurization tower. The regeneration unit is arranged inside the second cooling tower 22. The regeneration unit includes a regeneration tower 131, a heating component 132, and a cooling component 133. The heating component 132 is connected to the regeneration tower 131. The absorbent in the regeneration tower 131 circulates between the heating component 132 and the regeneration tower 131. The heating component 132 is used to heat the absorbent. The cooling component 133 is connected to the regeneration outlet of the regeneration tower 131 to cool the regeneration gas discharged from the regeneration outlet of the regeneration tower 131.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flue gas purification assembly is used to remove particulate matter, sulfides, nitrogen oxides, etc., from the flue gas, enabling it to be directly discharged or stored. The desulfurization tower and denitrification tower are arranged sequentially, one above the other. The denitrification tower has a flue gas inlet and is connected to the boiler's exhaust outlet via a pipe, allowing the flue gas discharged from the exhaust outlet to enter the denitrification tower. The flue gas passes through the denitrification tower and desulfurization tower sequentially to remove sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The flue gas discharged from the desulfurization tower enters the absorption unit 12, where an absorbent is introduced, contacting the absorbent with the flue gas to further remove impurities. The regenerator can be an organic amine solution.

[0029] It is understandable that after the regenerant reacts with the flue gas in the regeneration unit, a saturated amine solution, i.e., regenerant rich liquid, will be produced. The regenerant rich liquid is then passed into the regeneration unit for regeneration, causing the amine solution to undergo a desorption reaction in the regeneration tower 131, thereby turning the regenerant rich liquid into regenerant lean liquid. The regenerant lean liquid is then passed into the absorption tower to react with the flue gas again.

[0030] The heating assembly 132 can be a reboiler, allowing the amine solution in the regeneration unit to exchange heat indirectly with the heat source in the heating assembly 132, thereby heating the amine solution and facilitating its desorption reaction. The cooling assembly 133 can be a water cooler 1331, wherein the circulation pipe of the water cooler 1331 is connected to the side wall of the second cooling tower 22, so that outside air cools the circulation pipe of the water cooler 1331 as it passes through the side wall of the second cooling tower 22.

[0031] It should be noted that both the first cooling tower 21 and the second cooling tower 22 are air-cooled towers, meaning that outside air can enter the tower body from the bottom of the first cooling tower 21 and the second cooling tower 22 and be discharged from the top of the first cooling tower 21 and the second cooling tower (i.e., the chimney effect), thereby achieving cooling of the equipment at the bottom of the first cooling tower 21 and the second cooling tower 22.

[0032] In other words, the integrated flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention arranges the flue gas removal unit 11 and the regeneration unit in the first cooling tower 21 and the second cooling tower 22, which not only reduces the floor space and shortens the conveying pipeline, but also reduces pipeline heat dissipation, improves the overall thermal efficiency of the system, and reduces the workload of pipeline insulation and anti-corrosion measures.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first cooling tower 21 includes a first tower body and a first cooling wall. The first cooling wall is annular and located below the first tower body. The first cooling wall has a first cooling gap to allow outside air to pass through the first cooling gap. The flue gas removal unit 11 also includes a first cooling pipe 111. The first cooling pipe 111 is connected to the first cooling wall so that outside air can pass through the first cooling gap and cool the first cooling pipe 111.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first cooling wall includes a plurality of first cooling elements, which are arranged in a ring shape and spaced apart sequentially along the circumference of the first tower body. A first cooling gap is defined between two adjacent first cooling elements to allow outside air to pass through the first cooling gap.

[0035] It is understood that the first cooling pipe 111 is connected to at least one of the desulfurization tower or the denitrification tower, and a pump is installed on the first cooling pipe 111 so that the cooling solution circulates between the desulfurization tower and / or the denitrification tower and the first cooling pipe 111.

[0036] It should be noted that the desulfurization tower and denitrification tower need to operate within a specific temperature range to ensure reaction efficiency and minimize operating energy consumption. The pump on the first cooling pipe 111 extracts the liquid after the reaction in the desulfurization tower and / or denitrification tower, uses outside air to cool the first cooling pipe 111, and then recirculates the cooled liquid into the desulfurization tower and / or denitrification tower to ensure the operating efficiency of the desulfurization tower or denitrification tower.

[0037] In some embodiments, the internal space of the second cooling tower 22 is divided into an installation area 221 and a cooling area 222. The cooling area 222 is annular and is arranged around the installation area 221. The regeneration unit is arranged within the installation area 221.

[0038] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the regeneration tower 131 is placed in the center of the installation area 221. Since the regeneration tower 131 has a certain height and width, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance between the regeneration tower 131 and the side wall of the second cooling tower 22 to avoid the regeneration tower 131 and the second cooling tower 22 being too close and blocking the air intake channel at the bottom of the second cooling tower 22.

[0039] Preferably, in a plane orthogonal to the height direction of the second cooling tower 22, the ratio of the projected area of ​​the installation area 221 to the projected area of ​​the second cooling tower 22 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.6. It is understood that the larger the projected area of ​​the installation area 221, the smaller the gap between the equipment installed in the installation area 221 and the second cooling tower 22, which more easily affects the ventilation resistance at the bottom of the second cooling tower 22, and thus more easily hinders the airflow within the second cooling tower 22.

[0040] Optionally, the heating assembly 132 includes a plurality of reboilers arranged at circumferential intervals along the regeneration tower 131. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heating assembly 132 is located in the installation area 221. There are two reboilers, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the regeneration unit. The reboilers are connected to the regeneration unit through pipes so that the liquid in the regeneration unit can circulate between the reboilers and the regeneration unit.

[0041] In some embodiments, the regeneration unit further includes an MVR compressor 134 and a flash tank 135 connected together, the flash tank 135 being connected to the drain port of the regeneration tower 131, and the MVR compressor 134 being connected to the inlet port of the regeneration tower 131.

[0042] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the liquid discharged from regeneration tower 131 contains saturated absorbent and unreacted acidic gases. The function of flash tank 135 is to separate the vapor and liquid phases from this liquid. In flash tank 135, the liquid comes into contact with a heat source (typically steam output from MVR compressor 134), causing some of the vapor to evaporate rapidly. The evaporated vapor leaves flash tank 135, while the unevaporated liquid remains in flash tank 135. This unevaporated liquid is typically transported to the bottom of flash tank 135 and may then be returned to regeneration tower 131 for further processing.

[0043] The steam discharged from flash tank 135 is the vapor portion of the liquid discharged from regeneration tower 131. MVR compressor 134 compresses this steam, increasing its pressure and temperature. Due to the increased enthalpy, the compressed steam can serve as a heat source for regeneration tower 131, heating the absorbent within it. In this way, MVR compressor 134 achieves the recycling of thermal energy, reducing external energy consumption. It should be noted that the steam discharged from the compressor may be directly returned to regeneration tower 131, or it may first pass through flash tank 135 and then be returned to regeneration tower 131, depending on the system design.

[0044] In some embodiments, the integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas according to the present invention further includes a heat exchanger 15, which is connected to both the absorption unit 12 and the flash tank 135, so that the rich absorbent discharged from the absorption unit 12 and the lean absorbent discharged from the flash tank 135 exchange heat, and the rich absorbent after heat exchange is fed into the regeneration tower 131, and the lean absorbent after heat exchange is fed into the absorption unit 12.

[0045] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the liquid at the bottom of the flash tank 135 (i.e., the absorber lean liquid) is introduced into the heat exchanger 15 and indirectly exchanges heat with the absorbent rich liquid introduced into the heat exchanger 15 from the absorption unit 12. The heat-exchanged absorbent rich liquid is then introduced into the regeneration tower 131, while the heat-exchanged absorbent lean liquid is introduced into the regeneration unit. The temperature of the absorbent lean liquid discharged from the flash tank 135 is higher than the temperature of the absorbent rich liquid discharged from the absorption unit 12. Thus, after heat exchange in the heat exchanger 15, the temperature of the absorbent lean liquid decreases, facilitating its re-reaction with the flue gas in the absorption unit 12, achieving the reuse of the absorbent. Conversely, the temperature of the absorbent rich liquid increases, facilitating its regeneration in the regeneration tower 131.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cooling unit includes a water cooler 1331 and a separator 1332 connected together. The water cooler 1331 is connected to the regeneration outlet of the regeneration tower 131 to cool the regeneration gas discharged from the regeneration outlet of the regeneration tower 131. The separator 1332 is connected to the water cooler 1331.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water cooler 1331 includes a second cooling pipe, and the second cooling tower 22 includes a second tower body and a second cooling wall. The second cooling wall is annular and located below the second tower body. The second cooling wall has a second cooling gap to allow outside air to pass through the second cooling gap.

[0048] It is understood that the second cooling wall includes multiple second cooling elements arranged in a ring and spaced apart sequentially along the circumference of the second tower body. A second cooling gap is defined between two adjacent second cooling elements to allow outside air to pass through. Second cooling pipes are connected to the second cooling wall, and pumps are installed on the second cooling pipes to circulate the cooling solution between the second cooling pipes and the water cooler 1331.

[0049] It should be noted that the purpose of the water cooler 1331 is to reduce the temperature of the regeneration gas and recover heat. The hot gas discharged from the regeneration tower 131 comes into contact with water through the water cooler 1331, where the heat is absorbed by the water, and the gas temperature drops. The cooled gas can be further used to heat the absorbent or in other processes, achieving heat energy recovery and recycling. The water cooler 1331 can also remove some water-soluble gases, such as sulfur trioxide, preventing them from corroding equipment and pipelines. The purpose of the separator 1332 is to separate the gas and liquid in the regeneration gas, ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the gas outlet. In the separator 1332, the gas passes through one or more separation units, such as a packed bed, a cyclone separator 1332, a filter, etc., separating the gas and liquid droplets. The separated gas can be discharged from the top, while the separated liquid is collected from the bottom and can be sent back to the regeneration tower 131 or subjected to further processing. Furthermore, the separator 1332 is connected to a storage unit to allow the separated gas to be stored.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas according to an embodiment of the present invention also includes a demineralized water component 16. The demineralized water component 16 includes a demineralized water tank and a demineralized water pump. The inlet of the demineralized water pump is connected to the demineralized water tank, and the outlet of the demineralized water pump is connected to the absorption unit.

[0051] Understandably, the absorption unit 12 also includes an absorption tower and a solution purification component connected to the absorption tower for treating the saturated absorbent discharged from the absorption tower, thereby restoring the absorbent's ability to capture carbon dioxide.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the integrated system for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas according to an embodiment of the present invention also includes an expansion tank 17, which is connected to the packing layer of the second cooling tower 22.

[0053] In other words, the expansion tank 17 is connected to the annular heat exchanger (i.e., the packing layer) of the second cooling tower 22, and the height of the expansion tank 17 is consistent with the height of the annular heat exchanger of the second cooling tower 22, so as to ensure stable water pressure in the annular heat exchanger.
