Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature methanol washing, and particularly relates to an energy-saving low-temperature methanol washing method for a coal water slurry gasification device and an energy-saving low-temperature methanol washing device for a coal water slurry gasification device. Background Art
[0002] In the syngas produced by using the coal water slurry gasification technology, H 2 and CO are called effective gases. At the same time, the syngas also contains a large amount of CO 2 and trace amounts of H 2 S, COS, NH 3 , HCN and other components. Among them, H 2 and CO are the raw material gases for synthesizing chemical products such as methanol, ammonia, and ethylene glycol after adjusting the hydrogen-carbon ratio through the conversion unit. Acid gases CO 2 and H 2 S are generally poisons for synthesis catalysts, so they must be removed before the synthesis process.
[0003] The low-temperature methanol washing technology uses low-temperature methanol as the absorption solvent. Utilizing the excellent property that low-temperature methanol has a great solubility for acid gases, it uses physical absorption to remove acid gases such as H 2 S and CO 2 in the syngas, and at the same time removes trace components such as HCN and NH 3 . At present, the innovative research on the low-temperature methanol washing technology mainly focuses on the recycling of the pressure-reducing flash evaporation of the CO 2 -rich methanol. The typical process flow mainly includes the lean liquid-semi-lean liquid process, which has played a positive role in reducing the comprehensive energy consumption of the low-temperature methanol washing, but there are technical bottlenecks in further optimization and innovation. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the technical innovation and optimization direction of the low-temperature methanol washing process.
[0004] In the low-temperature methanol washing process flow, the CO 2 -rich methanol can be recycled through flash evaporation, but the H 2 S-rich methanol must be recycled through thermal regeneration, which is the main energy-consuming source of the low-temperature methanol washing. Therefore, improving the utilization efficiency of the H 2 S-rich methanol is the direction and key factor of the next technological innovation. Specifically, it is necessary to achieve that before the thermal regeneration of the H 2 S-rich methanol, its absorption of the H 2 S gas in the syngas reaches the upper limit, so as to reduce the amount of the H 2 S-rich methanol that needs to be thermally regenerated.
[0005] In the low-temperature methanol washing process flow, the H 2 S-rich methanol mainly comes from three aspects. One is the CO 2Methanol in H 2 S is absorbed in the absorber to produce rich H 2 S methanol after absorbing S gas; second, part of the rich CO 2 Methanol is used to wash the rich H 2 S methanol in the reabsorber. The H 2 S gas in the flash gas of rich H 2 S methanol is also contaminated to form rich H 2 S methanol; third, in order to ensure that the H 2 S in the vent tail gas meets the standard, part of the semi-lean liquid methanol is needed to wash the tail gas, and this part of the semi-lean liquid is also contaminated by H 2 S gas and becomes rich H 2 S methanol. As long as any one of the three streams of rich H 2 S methanol can be reduced, the energy consumption of the cold methanol wash can be effectively reduced.
[0006] CN201110260570.0 discloses a cold methanol wash process. First, in this cold methanol wash process, all rich CO 2 Methanol is used to wash the syngas in the H 2 S absorber. In the H 2 S absorber, the consumption of rich CO 2 Methanol is large, and the rich H 2 S methanol needs thermal regeneration to be recycled, resulting in high energy consumption; second, in the CO 2 Flash section of the reabsorber, when the rich CO 2 Methanol washes the flash gas of rich H 2 S methanol, it directly mixes with the rich H 2 S methanol, and itself is deeply contaminated by the rich H 2 S methanol. The low-concentration H 2 S methanol after mixing is not fully utilized and is sent to the thermal regeneration system for regeneration; third, the semi-lean liquid methanol with a high CO 2 content in the carbon dioxide absorber used to absorb CO 2 gas has a weak absorption capacity for CO 2 gas, and the semi-lean liquid circulation volume is large, which is generally not conducive to reducing the overall energy consumption of the cold methanol wash unit. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above technical problems and provide an energy-saving cold methanol washing method for a coal water slurry gasification device and an energy-saving cold methanol washing device for a coal water slurry gasification device. This method optimizes the H 2 S absorption process, uses low-sulfur and rich-carbon methanol to wash the syngas, and reduces the consumption of rich CO 2 Methanol; by optimizing the medium-pressure flash process, using low-H 2The S - methanol is used to wash and absorb the flash gas generated by the secondary flash evaporation, which can effectively inhibit the low H 2 The S - methanol is in H 2 The S - absorption process is for the absorption of CO 2 Gas; by optimizing the re - absorption tower process, low H 2 S - methanol is generated, and the low H 2 S - methanol is prevented from being deeply contaminated; by optimizing the stripping process, the CO content in the semi - lean methanol is further reduced, and the CO 2 absorption capacity of the semi - lean methanol is improved, and the amount of medium - poor methanol used in the CO 2 absorption is reduced.

The obtained sulfur - containing gas phase and the flash liquid are subjected to the first washing to obtain low H 2 S - methanol, which is subjected to the second washing with the flash gas of the secondary CO 2 flash evaporation and the secondary H 2 S flash evaporation to obtain low - sulfur rich - carbon methanol and the first stream of rich CO 2 methanol, which independently return and undergo the above - mentioned H2 S absorption.
[0011] The second aspect of the present invention provides an energy-saving low-temperature methanol washing device for a coal water slurry gasification device, and the device includes: an H 2 S absorption tower, a CO 2 absorption tower, a first flash tower, a second flash tower, a reabsorption tower, and a stripping tower; the first flash tower is divided into a first-stage CO 2 flash section and a first-stage H 2 S flash section from top to bottom; the second flash tower is divided into a second-stage CO 2 flash section and a second-stage H 2 S flash section from top to bottom;

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] (1) The method provided by the present invention optimizes the medium-pressure flashing process: adopting a two-stage flashing technology, the first-stage flashing (i.e., the first-stage CO 2 flashing and the first-stage H 2 S flashing) adopts a relatively high flashing pressure, and the first-stage flash gas can be directly sent to the compression process without washing, which can reduce the power consumption of the compressor; the second-stage flashing (i.e., the second-stage CO 2 flashing and the second-stage H 2 S flashing) adopts a relatively low flashing pressure to ensure that the effective gas in the rich CO 2 methanol after the first-stage flashing and the rich H 2 S methanol solution after the first-stage flashing is fully recovered, and at the same time, the intake air volume of the first-stage cylinder of the compressor in the compression process can be reduced, correspondingly reducing the power consumption of the compressor;
[0016] (2) The method provided by the present invention optimizes the reabsorption process, realizing that the flash liquid of the rich CO 2 methanol after heat exchange absorbs the sulfur components in the product gas generated by the flash of the rich H 2 S methanol after flashing, but does not mix with the third rich H 2 S methanol after flashing, making the H 2 S content in the solution lower and obtaining low-H 2 S methanol; 2 S methanol;
[0017] (3) In the second-stage H 2 S flashing of the method provided by the present invention, by introducing low-H 2 S methanol to absorb the flash gas, the CO 2 S concentration in the low-H 2 S methanol is slightly increased while the CO 2 gas content is increased, further reducing the absorption of CO 2 S methanol in the H 2 S absorption process for CO 2 gas, so that as much CO 2 gas as possible is absorbed in the CO 2 absorption process. Correspondingly, the total amount of gas flashed from the rich H 2 S methanol after flashing in the reabsorption process is reduced, then the amount of flash liquid used to wash the sulfur-containing gas phase is also correspondingly reduced, and the rich H 2 S methanol for heat regeneration is also reduced, thereby reducing the comprehensive energy consumption of the cold methanol washing device;
[0018] (4) In the method provided by the present invention, in order to further reduce the CO content in the semi-lean methanol and maximize the CO absorption capacity of the semi-lean liquid, the optimized re-absorption process performs nitrogen stripping on the semi-lean methanol after heat exchange again, so that the CO content in the semi-lean methanol is further reduced to 13-17%, becoming low-carbon methanol. This can produce two positive effects: one is that with the improvement of the absorption capacity of low-carbon methanol and the reduction of the circulation volume, the operating cost of the pump can be reduced by about 15%, and the diameter of the CO absorption tower can be reduced by about 5%; the other is that low-carbon methanol can replace part of the lean methanol, so that the circulation amount of lean methanol in the CO absorption tower also decreases, and the reduction of the lean methanol flow rate will be transmitted to the rich CO methanol, and the flow rate of the rich H2S methanol that needs to be thermally regenerated will also decrease, and the energy consumption of the corresponding thermal regeneration system will also decrease accordingly. 2 content, and maximize the CO 2 absorption capacity of the semi-lean liquid, the optimized re-absorption process performs nitrogen stripping on the semi-lean methanol after heat exchange again, so that the CO 2 content in the semi-lean methanol is further reduced to 13-17%, becoming low-carbon methanol.
