Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical technology, and in particular to a six-tower thermally coupled refining device for crude methanol. Background Art
[0002] Methanol is a widely used basic chemical raw material, which is applied to fine chemicals, polymers, pesticides, medicines, energy, fuel cells and many other fields. It plays an important role in the international chemical market. Crude methanol usually contains light impurities such as dimethyl ether and heavy impurities such as ethanol and water. It is necessary to remove various impurities through the distillation process to obtain refined methanol products that meet the quality requirements. Therefore, in the production process of methanol, distillation is a key separation operation. The traditional methanol distillation process usually adopts a three-tower process of pre-tower, pressurized tower and atmospheric tower, and uses the steam from the top of the pressurized tower to heat the atmospheric tower to achieve energy saving. However, the atmospheric tower and the top of the pre-tower use circulating water for cooling, which leads to a large amount of heat being wasted, making the steam consumption of the whole system high, about 1.2t steam / t refined alcohol. In the context of the country's increasingly stringent requirements on carbon emission indicators, a new technology is needed to recover the heat in the original system to achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction.
[0003] The emergence of heat pump technology and thermal coupling technology has brought great improvement prospects for energy conservation and emission reduction in the methanol industry. For example, it has been gradually replaced by the three-tower double-effect distillation and four-tower double-effect distillation processes (three towers plus recovery tower) developed by Lurgi, Germany. At present, the domestic methanol distillation units that have been recently put into production and are under construction mostly adopt three-tower double-effect or four-tower double-effect distillation processes. However, with the background of increasingly stringent carbon emission indicators, new technologies are bound to replace existing technologies to achieve the demand for lower steam unit consumption of refined methanol products, among which multi-effect distillation technology and heat pump technology have significant advantages; multi-effect distillation technology refers to dividing the entire distillation process into multiple towers with different energy levels, using the top steam of the tower with a higher temperature to heat the reboiler of the tower with a lower temperature, and condensing the steam at the same time. In this way, in the multi-effect distillation, the methanol vapor generated at the top of the tower with a higher temperature is used to exchange heat for the reboilers of other towers, realizing the condensation of methanol vapor, and meeting the reboiler heat demand of the thermal coupling tower kettle, which can greatly reduce steam consumption and achieve significant energy saving effects.
[0004] For example, the six-tower reverse four-effect methanol distillation method with a pre-distillation tower as a heat source in the prior art with application number CN202110950292.5 discloses a technical solution, wherein the bottom of the pre-distillation tower is connected to the middle and lower part of the vacuum tower through a pipeline; the bottom of the vacuum tower is connected to the middle and lower part of the atmospheric tower through a pipeline; the bottom of the atmospheric tower is connected to the middle and lower part of the medium-pressure tower through a pipeline; the bottom of the medium-pressure tower is connected to the middle and lower part of the high-pressure tower through a pipeline; the side line extraction of the high-pressure tower is connected to the middle and lower part of the recovery tower through a pipeline. The core step is to use the pre-distillation tower as one of the heat sources, and use the top material steam of the pre-distillation tower and the top material steam of the atmospheric tower to supply heat to the vacuum tower until it is completely condensed; the top material steam of the medium-pressure tower supplies heat to the atmospheric tower until it is completely condensed; the top material steam of the high-pressure tower supplies heat to the medium-pressure tower until it is completely condensed; this application achieves a significant energy-saving effect in the methanol distillation process. At the same time, the present application also proposes an improved six-tower reverse four-effect methanol distillation process with a pre-distillation tower as a heat source, providing a new energy-saving option for methanol distillation; the application discloses the idea of six towers, but the methanol distillation process unit consumption of the application is 0.6-0.7 steam / t of refined alcohol, which is lower than the traditional process, but the remaining schemes can still achieve a lower methanol distillation process unit consumption, and the tower configuration and heat supply method in the application are different from the idea of the present application.
[0005] In summary, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
