Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of formaldehyde production, in particular to a comprehensive utilization system of waste heat from formaldehyde production. Background Art
[0002] A large amount of waste heat is generated during the production process of methanol to formaldehyde. The main locations where waste heat is generated are the oxidation furnace and the tail gas boiler, both of which generate steam; at the same time, the formaldehyde circulating fluid also generates a large amount of waste heat. The steam generated by the oxidation furnace is partially used to heat the materials in its own system, such as the methanol evaporator and the methanol superheater, and the excess steam is directly discharged into the atmosphere. A small number of companies use the steam generated by the tail gas boiler system for waste heat power generation, but most companies directly discharge it into the atmosphere, resulting in heat loss. Although the recovery and utilization of heat in the process of methanol to formaldehyde has been greatly developed, most of it is concentrated in the methanol to formaldehyde system itself and the field of waste heat power generation, and the recovered heat is limited.

The downstream products of the formaldehyde industry mainly include urotropine, phenolic resin, amino resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, polyformaldehyde, trimethylolpropane, etc. These products use steam for heating reaction, evaporation and crystallization during the production process. If you simply purchase steam from outside for production, the cost will remain high.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 3The utility model provides a technical solution: a formaldehyde production waste heat comprehensive utilization system, including a formaldehyde production system 1, an oxidation furnace drum 2, a tail gas boiler system 3, a finished formaldehyde storage tank 4, a finished formaldehyde delivery pump 5, a formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6 and a waste heat recovery system 7. The formaldehyde production system 1 is a production line in which methanol generates formaldehyde through an oxidation furnace, which is used to produce formaldehyde. The oxidation furnace drum 2 is matched with the formaldehyde production system 1. The formaldehyde production system 1 generates steam, part of which is used for its own system, and part of which is supplied to the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6. The tail gas boiler system 3 is matched with the formaldehyde production system 1 to treat formaldehyde. The exhaust gas generated by the production line, the exhaust gas boiler system generates steam and supplies it to the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6, the finished formaldehyde storage tank 4 is used to store the finished formaldehyde after production, the finished formaldehyde delivery pump 5 is connected to the finished formaldehyde storage tank 4, and is used to deliver the formaldehyde to the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6, the waste heat recovery system 7 is connected to the formaldehyde production system 1 and the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6, and is used to recover the waste heat of the circulating liquid in the formaldehyde production system 1 and deliver it to the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6, the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6 is connected to the finished formaldehyde delivery pump 5, and is used for the production of downstream products supporting the formaldehyde production line.
[0029] The waste heat recovery system 7 includes a water tank 71, a waste heat recovery box 72, a frame 74, an insulation water tank 75 and a base 76. The frame 74, the water tank 71 and the insulation water tank 75 are all fixed on the base 76. The waste heat recovery box 72 is arranged on the frame 74. The water tank 71 is arranged on the left side of the waste heat recovery box 72. The left end of the waste heat recovery box 72 is connected to the circulating liquid inlet of the formaldehyde production system 1, and the right end of the waste heat recovery box 72 is connected to the circulating liquid outlet of the formaldehyde production system 1. The insulation water tank 75 is arranged on the right side of the waste heat recovery box 72. The working principle of the whole system is: the cold water in the water tank 71 is transported to the waste heat recovery box 72 to be heated by waste heat, and the heated water is transported to the water tank 71 for storage and standby, so as to realize the recovery and utilization of waste heat.
[0030] A first water inlet pipe 711 is led out from the bottom of the water storage tank 71, and the first water inlet pipe 711 is connected to a circulating water pump 712, and the circulating water pump 712 is connected to the waste heat recovery tank 72 through a second water inlet pipe 721, and a first valve 713 is installed on the second water inlet pipe 721.

[0031] The right end of the waste heat recovery tank 72 is connected to the insulation water tank 75 through the outlet pipe 79, and the outlet pipe 79 is equipped with a second valve 791. After the water undergoes heat exchange, it flows out of the waste heat recovery tank 72 through the outlet pipe 79, and then enters the insulation water tank 75 with the flow rate controlled by the second valve 791. The insulation water tank 75 plays a role in heat preservation to prevent heat loss.
[0032] The outlet of the heat preservation water tank 75 is connected to a water delivery pipe 77, which is connected to a water delivery pump 78.

Multiple groups of heat conducting rods 724 are evenly arranged vertically inside the waste heat recovery box 72, and the upper ends of the heat conducting rods 724 extend into the heating chamber 723. The heat in the waste heat recovery box 72 can be absorbed by the heat conducting rods 724 and transferred to the heating chamber 723 to heat the water. By evenly arranging multiple groups of heat conducting rods 724 vertically, the heat conduction area inside the waste heat recovery box 72 can be increased, thereby improving the effect of heat recovery. Such a design can effectively improve the efficiency of waste heat recovery and reduce energy waste.
[0034] A plurality of groups of circular heat exchange fins 7241 are evenly arranged on the heat conducting plate at the lower part of the waste heat recovery box 72. This design is to increase the heat exchange area of the waste heat recovery box 72 and improve the heat transfer efficiency. The circular heat exchange fins 7241 can increase the surface area of heat transfer, so that the waste heat can be more fully recovered and utilized.

[0036] In the waste heat recovery system 7, the left and right ends of the waste heat recovery box 72 are connected to the formaldehyde circulating liquid inlet and outlet. The waste heat of the formaldehyde circulating liquid enters the waste heat recovery box 72, and the cold water is heated by the spiral coil. The heated water is transported to the insulation water tank 75 through the outlet pipe 79 for storage, and then transported to the formaldehyde supporting downstream product production line 6 through the delivery water pump 78 for use.
[0037] This new method uses waste heat recovery and industrial chain perspectives, allowing formaldehyde production companies to not only produce formaldehyde, but also combine their own advantages to make full use of steam waste heat to match corresponding downstream products, thereby improving the utilization rate of waste heat and extending the downstream industrial chain of formaldehyde, achieving waste heat recovery, comprehensive utilization of resources, and transformation and upgrading of downstream products supporting the formaldehyde industry.
