Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of urea production, and more specifically to an energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing urea production system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Urea is an indispensable core fertilizer in agricultural production. The energy consumption level and production efficiency of its production equipment are directly related to agricultural production costs and national food security. A stable and efficient urea supply is the key to ensuring high grain yields and enhancing the stability of national food security.
[0003] However, existing urea production plants have two major technical pain points: First, the temperature of the hydrolyzed purified water produced by the hydrolysis system is still as high as 98°C after exchanging heat with the dilute ammonia water entering the desorption tower. In the current process, it is only cooled to 40°C by circulating water before reuse, resulting in a large amount of waste heat not being recovered, causing energy waste and increasing the operating load of the circulating water system. Second, the urea synthesis tower has the problem of insufficient space utilization. In the traditional process, the space of about 10 meters above the synthesis tower is not effectively utilized, and the overflow pipe discharge mode results in insufficient material reaction time and low urea conversion rate (the urea concentration of the material at the outlet of the synthesis tower is only about 33%). This leads to a large amount of circulating material, limiting the plant's capacity and increasing steam consumption, which does not meet the development requirements of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
[0004] In existing technologies, improvements to urea synthesis efficiency and waste heat recovery are mostly single-dimensional optimizations, lacking a systematic solution that combines enhanced synthesis reactions with cascaded utilization of waste heat. Simply improving the conversion rate of the synthesis tower often overlooks the potential for waste heat recovery, while purely waste heat utilization technologies fail to link with the optimization of the synthesis system, resulting in limited overall energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing effects, and also presenting problems such as high investment costs and difficulties in widespread adoption. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated urea production control technology that can fully exploit the reaction potential of the synthesis tower while efficiently recovering waste heat from the hydrolysis system, achieving synergistic optimization of capacity increase and energy consumption reduction, and meeting the industry's dual needs for energy conservation, carbon reduction, and capacity assurance.

[0011] Another objective of this invention is achieved by the following technical solution: An energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing urea production method includes the following steps: (1) Synthesis reaction: After the liquid ammonia is heated by heat exchange with waste heat, it is mixed with carbon dioxide, recycled ammonia and carbon dioxide, and then enters the pool condenser to generate ammonium carbamate, and then sent to the synthesis tower. The full tower operation mode is adopted, and the reaction time of the material is extended by multiple tower plates in the tower to generate urea mixture. (2) Stripping separation: The urea mixture discharged from the top of the synthesis tower is sent to the collection tank for buffering, and then introduced into the stripping tower. Raw material carbon dioxide is introduced for stripping treatment to separate some unreacted ammonia and carbon dioxide. (3) Recycled absorption: The stripped material enters the low-pressure absorption unit. After low-pressure absorption and condensation separation, the liquid phase material is sent to the evaporation granulation system, and the ammonia and carbon dioxide in the gas phase are recovered and returned to the pool condenser for recycling. (4) Evaporation granulation: The material from the low-pressure absorption unit is concentrated to a urea concentration of ≥99.5% by multi-effect evaporation, and then urea product is obtained by atomization granulation; (5) Hydrolysis and waste heat utilization: Ammonia, carbon dioxide and water separated during the evaporation and concentration process enter the ammonia tank to form dilute ammonia water. The dilute ammonia water is sent to the hydrolysis and desorption unit. After hydrolysis in the hydrolysis tower and desorption in the desorption tower to recover ammonia and carbon dioxide, hydrolyzed purified water at about 98°C is produced. The hydrolyzed purified water is used to exchange heat with the liquid ammonia in step (1) to raise the temperature of the liquid ammonia to 65-80°C. The hydrolyzed purified water after heat exchange is cooled to 41-48°C and sent directly to the circulating water system for reuse.
[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the synthesis tower is operated at full capacity, and the reaction time of the material in the synthesis tower is extended by more than 30% compared with the traditional process; the initial temperature of liquid ammonia is 38°C, and after heat exchange with hydrolyzed purified water, the temperature is raised to 65-80°C. The heat exchange process between hydrolyzed purified water and liquid ammonia is carried out in the second heat exchanger, and the temperature of hydrolyzed purified water is controlled at 41-48°C after heat exchange.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (2), the operating pressure of the stripping tower is 1.5 to 2.5 MPa, the operating temperature is 170 to 190°C, and the concentration of the urea mixture after stripping is increased to more than 53%.
[0014] Furthermore, in step (3), the operating pressure of the low-pressure absorption unit is 0.1 to 0.3 MPa, and the operating temperature is 40 to 60°C. After low-pressure absorption, the urea concentration of the material is increased to more than 70%.
[0015] Furthermore, in step (4), the multi-effect evaporator adopts a 2-3 effect evaporation process with an evaporation temperature of 120-140℃. The ammonia and carbon dioxide recovered during the evaporation process are concentrated by the hydrolysis and desorption unit and then sent to the high-pressure scrubber and then introduced into the pool condenser for circulation reaction.
[0016] Advantages of this invention: 1. By modifying the synthesis tower to operate at full capacity and adding trays, the idle space inside the tower is fully utilized, the reaction time of materials is extended, the urea synthesis conversion rate is significantly improved, the amount of unreacted materials is reduced, and the circulating load is reduced, thereby increasing the feed rate of raw materials and achieving a significant increase in the capacity of the unit. This solves the problem of limited capacity in traditional processes and provides sufficient fertilizer for grain production.
[0017] 2. The waste heat from the 98℃ hydrolysis of purified water in the hydrolysis system is used to preheat liquid ammonia, avoiding the energy waste caused by cooling the waste heat through circulating water in the traditional process. At the same time, it reduces the consumption of additional energy by the waste heat of liquid ammonia, realizes the cascade utilization of heat, significantly reduces the steam consumption and circulating water consumption of the unit, and has outstanding energy-saving effect.
[0018] 3. By improving reaction conversion rate and resource recovery rate, the emission and waste of unreacted materials are reduced, carbon emission intensity is lowered, and the requirements of national energy conservation and carbon reduction policies are met. At the same time, the increase in production capacity and the reduction in energy consumption are directly converted into significant economic benefits, helping enterprises to enhance market competitiveness and achieve green and sustainable development.
[0019] 4. By organically integrating processes such as synthesis reaction optimization, waste heat recovery and recycling, a synergistic and efficient urea production system is formed, which solves the problem of limited effects of traditional single-modification methods and achieves simultaneous optimization of production capacity, energy consumption and environmental protection indicators, providing a brand-new solution for the technological upgrading of the urea industry.

[0028] Example 2 An energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing urea production method, utilizing the energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing urea production system provided in Example 1, includes the following steps: (1) Synthesis reaction: Liquid ammonia at 38°C in liquid ammonia storage tank 11 is sent to the cold medium channel of the second heat exchanger 24 to exchange heat with the 98°C hydrolyzed purified water from the stripping tower 22. After the heat exchange, the temperature of the hydrolyzed purified water drops to 45°C. After the liquid ammonia is heated to 75°C, it is mixed with carbon dioxide at 130°C, recycled ammonia and carbon dioxide, and enters the pool condenser 14 in sequence. It reacts at 13.5MPa and 185°C to generate ammonium carbamate. The material at the outlet of the pool condenser 14 (containing ammonium carbamate and a small amount of urea) is sent to the synthesis tower 15 and passes through 20 tower plates from bottom to top. The full tower operation mode is adopted, and the reaction time of the material in the tower is extended by 40% compared with the traditional process, and finally a urea mixture is generated.
[0029] (2) Stripping separation: The urea mixture (urea concentration 45%) discharged from the top of the synthesis tower 15 is sent to the collection tank 16 for buffering, and then introduced into the stripping tower 17. Raw material carbon dioxide is introduced for stripping treatment. Under the conditions of 180℃ and 2.0MPa, some unreacted ammonia and carbon dioxide are separated. After stripping, the concentration of the urea mixture is increased to 55%.
[0030] (3) Circulation absorption: The stripped material enters the low-pressure absorption tower 41 and is absorbed under the conditions of 0.2MPa and 50℃. After the gas phase is condensed by the low-pressure condenser 42, the condensate is sent to the ammonia water tank 21. The uncondensed gas is treated by the tail gas scrubber 45 and then returned to the low-pressure absorption tower 41.

After being atomized by the nozzle, it comes into contact with hot air at 380°C to granulate, generating urea particles with a particle size of 0.8 to 2.5 mm, which fall into the crude product silo 33.
[0032] (5) Hydrolysis and waste heat utilization: Ammonia, carbon dioxide and water separated during the evaporation and concentration process enter the ammonia tank 21 to form dilute ammonia water. The dilute ammonia water is pumped into the first heat exchanger 23 for preheating and then introduced into the desorption tower 22. Under the conditions of 145℃ and 0.4MPa, some ammonia and carbon dioxide are desorbed. The material discharged from the middle of the desorption tower 22 is sent to the third heat exchanger 26 for preheating and then introduced into the hydrolysis tower 25. Under the conditions of 190℃ and 2.2MPa, the residual urea is hydrolyzed into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The hydrolysis product is returned to the desorption tower 22 for further desorption. The hydrolyzed purified water at 98℃ is produced at the bottom of the desorption tower 22. After exchanging heat with the dilute ammonia water in the first heat exchanger 23, it is introduced into the second heat exchanger 24 for preheating liquid ammonia.
[0033] After operation in this embodiment, the conversion rate of urea synthesis tower 15 increased from 33% in the traditional process to 45%, and the amount of unreacted ammonia and carbon dioxide decreased by 36%; the urea plant capacity increased by 25% compared to the traditional process, with a daily increase of 120 tons of urea per unit; liquid ammonia preheating no longer requires additional steam consumption, and through waste heat recovery from hydrolysis purification water, the plant's steam consumption is reduced by 18 kg / t urea, saving 10,800 tons of steam annually; the waste heat recovery rate from hydrolysis purification water reaches 92%, and circulating water consumption is reduced by 20%, saving 150,000 m³ of circulating water annually. 3 The total recovery rate of ammonia and carbon dioxide is ≥99.2%, and the pollutant emissions meet the requirements of GB 13223-2011 "Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Thermal Power Plants".
