Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature methanol washing, and in particular to a low-temperature methanol washing system and process. Background Art

[0002] Low-temperature methanol washing uses methanol organic solvent as absorbent, and uses methanol to remove acidic gases such as CO2, H2S, COS in the raw gas under low temperature conditions. The ammonia in the conversion gas also enters the low-temperature methanol washing system. If the ammonia content in the system is too high, it will affect the normal operation of the methanol thermal regeneration tower and its related heat exchangers. If the ammonia content in the circulating methanol is too high, it will also cause the H2S content in the purified gas and CO2 product gas to exceed the standard. More seriously, it will cause the thermal regeneration system of the low-temperature methanol washing process to be blocked. However, the ammonia content in the conversion gas is not the lower the better. Ammonia has certain benefits in adjusting the pH value of the circulating methanol in the methanol washing system. By controlling the ammonia content in the circulating methanol at 30-60mmol / l, the corrosion of the system can be effectively inhibited. In a weakly alkaline environment (pH=8-9), the corrosion of metal equipment by acidic gases such as CO2 and H2S can be completely inhibited or reduced to a negligible level.

[0003] However, there is currently a lack of a low-temperature methanol washing system and process that can effectively control the ammonia content in the low-temperature methanol washing system. Summary of the invention

[0028] 2.
