Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a combined heat and power system driven by chemical by-product gas and its operating method, and relates to the field of comprehensive energy utilization technology. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical industrial parks and data center parks, as significant energy consumers, face the dual pressures of energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as improving energy efficiency. Petrochemical and coal chemical production processes generate substantial amounts of byproduct gases, including off-gas from methanol synthesis and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, PSA purification tail gas from hydrogen purification units, and membrane separation tail gas. Currently, most of these byproduct gases are directly fed into the factory's fuel gas pipeline network as fuel for ordinary boilers, resulting in low utilization efficiency and underutilization of their energy value. Meanwhile, data centers, as high-energy-consuming industries, pose a severe challenge to energy supply due to their enormous electricity and cooling demands.

[0003] Meanwhile, data centers, as a crucial infrastructure in the digital economy era, provide powerful computing capabilities through their server clusters. However, data center operation is inherently an energy-intensive industry, requiring not only a continuous and stable power supply but also efficient cooling systems to ensure normal equipment operation. This supply and demand relationship creates a unique opportunity for industrial synergy: data centers can provide the necessary computing power support for fuel conditioning, while combined cycle systems can provide reliable power supply and cooling capabilities through lithium bromide refrigeration systems.

[0004] Existing technical solutions have significant limitations in terms of system integration, with most research results remaining at the level of local optimization within a single industry sector. For example, patent CN 116731754 A discloses a method and apparatus for efficient coal-based raw material chemical-power cogeneration, which, while achieving chemical-power cogeneration of coal-based energy, suffers from the following shortcomings: First, the system does not consider the dynamic optimization requirements of the fuel characteristics of chemical by-product gas, lacking a real-time monitoring and control mechanism for fuel composition; second, the solution requires the carbon-hydrogen ratio of the fuel gas to be obtained in advance as a fixed parameter, making it difficult to adapt to the dynamic fluctuations in by-product gas composition in actual industrial production; most importantly, the solution completely ignores the supporting role of computing resources in the fuel conditioning process, failing to meet the real-time computing needs of modern industry for conditioning. On the other hand, patent CN120258451 A discloses a collaborative optimization method for a data center integrated energy system with computing-electricity-heat coupling, which, while achieving optimized operation of the data center's internal energy system to some extent, is limited to the data center itself and fails to break through industry boundaries to achieve cross-domain energy-computing collaboration. The solution has the following shortcomings: First, the optimization objective is singular, only considering the energy efficiency improvement of the data center itself, without involving the efficient utilization of external power, cold sources and chemical by-product gas and other energy sources; second, the coordination mechanism is imperfect, lacking two-way energy-information interaction between the chemical park and the data center park; and third, the system architecture is closed, failing to build a cross-industry "energy-resource" cycle system.

[0005] In summary, existing technologies have significant gaps in achieving deep integration of chemical industrial parks and data center parks, and in establishing a complete two-way energy-resource circulation system. Therefore, developing a combined heat and power (CHP) system capable of efficiently and cleanly utilizing chemical by-product gases and meeting the energy needs of data centers not only has significant theoretical innovation value but also provides a practical and feasible technological path for the green and low-carbon development of industrial parks. This cross-industry system integration innovation will drive the transformation and upgrading of energy systems towards intelligence, efficiency, and cleanliness. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects: 1.

This multi-energy complementary architecture not only significantly improves comprehensive energy utilization efficiency but also enables the tiered utilization of energy of different grades, providing a complete energy solution for chemical industrial parks and data center parks.

[0017] 2. Utilizing chemical by-product gases in combined cycle cogeneration systems offers significant advantages. First, as byproducts of chemical processes, these gases have relatively low utilization costs, effectively reducing power generation costs. Second, combined cycle systems enable cascaded energy utilization; the high-temperature flue gas from gas turbine power generation can be used to generate steam through a waste heat boiler, driving a steam turbine for secondary power generation.

The flow controllers receive instructions from the computational control platform 201, adjust the flow rate of each fuel gas in real time, and deliver them to the mixing platform 210 according to the set ratio.

[0031] The gas turbine includes a compressor 301, a combustion chamber 302, and a gas turbine 303. A gas turbine generator 304 is connected to the gas turbine.

The conditioned mixed fuel gas is sent to the combustion chamber 302 of the gas turbine for combustion to generate power, driving the generator to produce electricity; the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the gas turbine enters the waste heat boiler 305 to heat water and generate steam, which in turn drives the steam turbine 307 to generate electricity, forming a high-efficiency combined cycle. The electricity generated by this system is mainly used to power the chemical plants and server cluster 502 in the chemical-data center park, and prioritizes powering the feed gas compressors of the PSA purification unit and membrane separation unit 102. Part of the exhaust steam generated after the steam turbine 307 performs work enters the lithium bromide refrigeration system 4 as a driving heat source. After releasing heat in the lithium bromide system, it is condensed. The remaining exhaust steam is condensed by the condenser and finally sent back to the waste heat boiler 305 for reheating by the circulating water pump. Part of the high-temperature steam generated by this system can also be used for fuel preheating and process heating of the chemical synthesis unit 103, as well as to provide heating for the park through the heating heat exchange device, thereby realizing the cascade and comprehensive utilization of energy.

[0032] The lithium bromide refrigeration system 4 includes a generator 401, a condenser 402, a throttling device 403, an evaporator 404, an absorber 405, and a solution pump 406.

[0034] II. The working method of the chemical by-product gas driven polygeneration system according to the present invention includes the following steps: The first step is the collection and pretreatment of raw gas: hydrogen is purified by the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) device 101 in the chemical by-product gas collection system 1, producing PSA purification tail gas; hydrogen is purified by the membrane separation device 102, producing membrane separation tail gas; and chemical synthesis is carried out by the chemical synthesis device 103, producing purge gas. Subsequently, various gases are pretreated by pressurization, dehydration, desulfurization, and pressure stabilization through the hydrogen pretreatment device 104, the membrane separation tail gas pretreatment device 105, the PSA purification tail gas pretreatment device 106, the purge gas pretreatment device 107, and the natural gas pretreatment device 108, respectively.

[0035] The second step is fuel conditioning and blending: The conditioning and blending system 2 monitors the composition and calorific value of each chemical by-product gas in real time through the membrane separation tail gas analyzer 202, the PSA purification tail gas analyzer 203, and the purge gas analyzer 204; the calculation and control platform 201 dynamically calculates the optimal blending ratio according to the preset target calorific value range and the Wobbe number range to ensure that the system can operate stably under the blending ratio; the hydrogen flow controller 205, the membrane separation tail gas flow controller 206, the PSA purification tail gas flow controller 207, the purge gas flow controller 208, and the natural gas flow controller 209 receive instructions from the calculation and control platform 201 to accurately adjust the flow rate of each fuel gas; the mixing platform 210 fully and uniformly mixes the various fuel gases and outputs a mixed fuel gas with stable combustion characteristics. When the gas turbine combustor 302 used has poor adaptability to hydrogen, an upper limit for the proportion of fuel hydrogen can be set, with natural gas as the main fuel and chemical by-product gas as an auxiliary fuel for conditioning, in order to ensure the stability of the system; when the gas turbine combustor 302 used has strong adaptability to hydrogen, even if the fuel is pure hydrogen, good stability can be guaranteed, and chemical by-product gas can be used as the main fuel for conditioning.

[0036] The third step, combined heat and power (CHP) and energy cascade utilization: In the combined cycle CHP system 3, compressor 301 draws in and compresses air. The mixed fuel gas from mixing platform 210 is preheated by fuel preheater 306 and then enters combustion chamber 302 to react with compressed air. The resulting high-temperature gas drives gas turbine 303 to drive gas turbine generator 304 to generate electricity. The exhaust gas from the gas turbine enters waste heat boiler 305 as a heat source to vaporize water and generate high-temperature steam, which drives steam turbine 307 to drive steam generator 304. Steam turbine generator 308 generates electricity; the exhaust steam from steam turbine 307 is partially condensed in a lithium bromide refrigeration system, while the remaining exhaust steam is condensed in condenser 309 and then sent back to waste heat boiler 305 for re-vaporization via circulating water pump 310; heating heat exchange device 311 utilizes steam extracted from steam turbine 307 to provide heating for the park; steam extracted from steam turbine 307 can also be used as a heat source for fuel preheater 306 and chemical synthesis unit 103, and after cooling, it enters waste heat boiler 305 for re-heating and vaporization. The steam temperature range required by chemical synthesis unit 103 is 370K~500K, and the pressure range is 0.1MPa~2.5MPa. The electricity generated by gas turbine generator 304 and steam turbine generator 308 supplies pressure swing adsorption unit 101, membrane separation unit 102, and data center server cluster 502, respectively, with surplus electricity supplying other chemical units in the park.

[0037] The fourth step, refrigeration cycle and data center cooling: In the lithium bromide refrigeration system 4, exhaust steam from the steam turbine enters the generator 401 to heat the LiBr solution, causing the refrigerant to vaporize and enter the condenser 402. The remaining concentrated LiBr solution returns to the absorber 405. The gaseous refrigerant releases heat and condenses into a liquid state in the condenser 402. After being depressurized and cooled by the throttling device 403, it enters the evaporator 404. In the evaporator 404, the liquid refrigerant vaporizes into a low-pressure gaseous state, while absorbing heat from the medium being cooled, generating a refrigeration effect. The refrigerant generated by the evaporator 404 dissipates heat for the server cluster 502 through the heat dissipation system 501 of the data center 5. In the absorber 405, the concentrated LiBr solution continuously absorbs the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant generated by the evaporator 404 to maintain the low-pressure environment within the evaporator 404. The LiBr refrigerant solution formed after the concentrated LiBr solution absorbs the refrigerant is pressurized by the solution pump 406 and sent back to the generator 401, completing the refrigeration cycle. The required steam temperature range for the lithium bromide refrigeration system 4 is 370K~440K, and the pressure range is 0.03MPa~0.7MPa.

[0038] Fifth step, computing power support and energy feedback: The server cluster 502 of data center 5 obtains power supply through data center power supply system 503 and relies on the cold source provided by lithium bromide cooling system 4 to ensure operating temperature. At the same time, it provides real-time computing power support for the computing control platform 201 in conditioning and blending system 2. While ensuring the fuel conditioning response speed, the surplus computing power also provides services to the outside world, forming the synergy and value-added of computing power resources within the system.

9. A method of operating a multi-product system driven by chemical by-product gas as described in any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: The first step is raw material gas collection and pretreatment: hydrogen is purified by a pressure swing adsorption unit and PSA purification tail gas is generated; hydrogen is purified by a membrane separation unit and membrane separation tail gas is generated; chemical synthesis is carried out by a chemical synthesis unit and purge gas is generated; then it is pretreated by a pretreatment unit. The second step is fuel conditioning and blending: the conditioning and blending system monitors the composition and calorific value of each chemical by-product gas in real time through a gas analyzer; The calculation and control platform dynamically calculates the optimal blending ratio based on the preset target calorific value range and Wobbe number range; the flow controller receives instructions from the calculation and control platform to precisely adjust the flow rate of each fuel gas; the mixing platform fully and uniformly mixes multiple fuel gases and outputs mixed fuel gas with stable combustion characteristics. The third step is combined heat and power (CHP) and energy cascade utilization: In the combined cycle CHP system, the mixed fuel gas from the mixing platform is preheated by the fuel preheater and then enters the gas turbine for combustion. The exhaust gas from the gas turbine enters the waste heat boiler as a heat source to vaporize water and generate high-temperature steam, which drives the steam turbine. Part of the exhaust steam from the steam turbine enters the lithium bromide refrigeration system for condensation, and the remaining exhaust steam is condensed by the condenser and then sent back to the waste heat boiler for re-vaporization. The steam extracted from the steam turbine can also be used as a heat source for heating the fuel preheater and chemical synthesis unit, and after cooling, it enters the waste heat boiler for re-vaporization. The fourth step is the refrigeration cycle and data center cooling: In the lithium bromide refrigeration system, the exhaust steam from the steam turbine enters the generator to heat the LiBr solution; the refrigerant generated by the evaporator enters the data center's heat dissipation system to cool the data center.
