[0025] Working principle: A device for recycling waste heat of lean EO absorption liquid on an EOEG device. The ethylene oxide aqueous solution from the bottom of the light component tower is pumped to the EO refining tower 1 through the original process of the light component tower bottom pump for EO product refining. A pre-EO primary distillation tower 2 is added to the EO refining tower 1. The bottom of the light component tower 3 extracts about 30t / h of material and transports it to the EO primary distillation tower 2 for refining. The refined EO product meets the production of 70,000 tons / year of high-purity ethylene oxide. The remaining materials are still transported to the EO refining tower 1 for refining. The EO primary distillation is distilled through the EO primary distillation tower reboiler 13. In order to recover the waste heat of the lean absorption liquid of the device, the low-grade EO lean absorption liquid (87°C) is used as the heat source to reduce the steam consumption of the original EO refining tower 1 and the cooling water load of the device. The gas phase at the top of the tower (containing a small amount of aldehydes) is condensed by the EO primary distillation tower top condenser 11 and the EO primary distillation tower top deep freezer 10 and then flows into the EO primary distillation tower reflux 9. Most of the EO is refluxed by the EO primary distillation tower reflux pump, and the rest is transported to the EO buffer tank and then uniformly sent to the ethylene glycol reaction unit; high-purity EO is extracted through the 61st tray of the EO primary distillation tower, and is transported to the EO storage tank through the EO primary distillation tower product cooler 12 by the high-purity EO pump; the EO aqueous solution at the bottom of the tower is transported to the EO refining tower 1 for refining by the EO primary distillation tower bottom pump. The products extracted from the EO refining tower 1 and the EO primary distillation tower 2 are mixed after cooling their respective products and sent to the EO storage tank.
[0026] This device reduces the steam consumption of the EO refining tower and the cooling water cooling load of the device. It does not require frequent adjustments after commissioning and does not increase the labor intensity of operators. It is easy to operate and has a high degree of automation. It increases the operating load of the device and increases production capacity. It reduces the comprehensive energy consumption of the device and has good economic benefits.
[0027] This device has small investment, high efficiency, good product quality and strong competitiveness. It can meet the full load operation of the device, further enhance its competitiveness in the same industry, and has good social and economic benefits.
[0028] The above embodiments only express the implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
