[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a waste gas liquefaction safety recovery system for a urea medium-pressure system, comprising a medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1, a medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 and a gas pipeline 3, the gas outlet of the medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1 is connected to the gas inlet of the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the gas pipeline 3, the gas outlet of the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 is connected to a vent pipe 4, and an oxygen content online analyzer 5 is provided on the vent pipe 4 to provide a basis for controlling the oxygen content in the vented waste gas within a safe range, the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 is connected to a nitrogen delivery pipe 6, and nitrogen is input into the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the nitrogen delivery pipe 6 to reduce the oxygen content concentration in the waste gas, avoid the waste gas content from entering the explosion limit value range, and ensure the safety of equipment and process operation, and a condensation component 7 is provided between the medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1 and the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2, and the condensation component 7 can pre-condense the waste gas entering the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2, and recover the ammonia component in the waste gas after condensation to reduce the medium pressure, and also reduce the ammonia consumption during normal operation.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the condensation assembly 7 includes a first circulating water cooler 71, a second circulating water cooler 72, a first shut-off valve 73, a second shut-off valve 74, a first pipeline 75, a second pipeline 76 and a third pipeline 77. The first shut-off valve 73 is arranged on the gas pipeline 3, one end of the first pipeline 75 is connected to the gas pipeline 3 and is located between the shut-off valve and the medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1, the other end of the first pipeline 75 is connected to the air inlet of the first circulating water cooler 71, the second shut-off valve 74 is arranged on the first pipeline 75, and the second pipeline 76 is connected to the third pipeline 77. The air outlet of the first circulating water cooler 71 is connected to the air inlet of the second circulating water cooler 72 through the second pipe 76, and the air outlet of the second circulating water cooler 72 is connected to the air inlet of the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the third pipe 77. When in use, the interiors of the first circulating water cooler 71 and the second circulating water cooler 72 are connected to the medium-pressure ammonia medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through pipes, and a suction pump is provided on the pipes, and the medium-pressure ammonia medium-pressure inert gas absorption tower 2 is installed in combination with the medium-pressure ammonia absorption tower 10 in the prior art. When the first shut-off valve 73 is closed and the second shut-off valve 74 is opened, the waste gas enters the first circulating water cooler 71 from the medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1 through the gas pipeline 3 and the first pipeline 75, then enters the second circulating water cooler 72 through the second pipeline 76, and finally enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the third pipeline 77. When the gas phase passes through the first circulating water cooler 71 and the second circulating water cooler 72, a small amount of water is added to the first circulating water cooler 71 and the second circulating water cooler 72 to absorb the ammonia component in the gas phase to form ammonia water. The heat released is taken away by the circulating water. The ammonia water enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the ammonia water pump and then flows into the medium-pressure ammonia absorption tower 10 for recycling, thereby reducing the loss of ammonia water and reducing the pressure of the waste gas entering the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2. It is avoided that the medium-pressure rear system is over-pressurized after the nitrogen enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2, thereby improving the safety of equipment operation. The first shut-off valve 73 and the second shut-off valve 74 are set to enable the gas phase to switch between the condensation component 7 and the gas pipeline 3.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a low-point exhaust valve 761 is provided on the second pipeline 76, and a connecting pipe 762 is provided on the second pipeline 76. Both ends of the connecting pipe 762 are respectively located on both sides of the low-point exhaust valve 761. A high-point exhaust valve 763 is provided on the connecting pipe 762. In actual applications, the installation height of the high-point exhaust valve 763 is higher than the installation height of the low-point exhaust valve 761, and the high-point exhaust valve 763 is installed at the highest point of the connecting pipe 762. The high-point exhaust valve 763 is used to exhaust the gas in the connecting pipe 762, and the low-point exhaust valve 761 is used to automatically exhaust the liquid in the second pipeline 76. By intermittently opening the high-point exhaust valve 763 and the low-point exhaust valve 761, the connecting pipe 762 and the second pipeline 76 can be kept unobstructed.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, a flow regulating valve 61 is provided on the nitrogen delivery pipe 6. The staff can control the opening of the flow regulating valve 61 according to the data information provided by the oxygen content online analyzer 5, and then control the input of nitrogen to the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 to adjust the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a variable flow meter 62 is provided on the nitrogen delivery pipe 6. The variable flow meter 62 is located at the rear side of the flow regulating valve 61. The nitrogen flow in the nitrogen delivery pipe 6 is accurately measured by the variable flow meter 62 so as to accurately control the nitrogen flow entering the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a pressure gauge transmitter 63 is provided on the nitrogen delivery pipe 6, and the pressure gauge transmitter 63 is located in front of the flow control valve 61. The pressure gauge transmitter 63 accurately measures the nitrogen pressure in the nitrogen delivery pipe 6, and assists the flow control valve 61 and the transmission flow meter 62 to accurately control and adjust the delivery of nitrogen.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a secondary line pipe 64 is provided on the nitrogen delivery pipe 6, one end of the secondary line pipe 64 is located between the transmission flow meter 62 and the flow regulating valve 61, and the other end of the secondary line pipe 64 is located between the flow regulating valve 61 and the pressure gauge transmitter 63. A secondary line valve 65 is provided on the secondary line pipe 64. Specifically, both sides of the flow regulating valve 61 are provided with stop valves 8 on the nitrogen delivery pipe 6, and an exhaust pipe is connected to the nitrogen delivery pipe 6 between the two stop valves 8, and an exhaust valve 9 is provided on the exhaust pipe. When the flow regulating valve 61 fails, the secondary line valve 65 is opened, and the stop valves 8 on both sides of the flow regulating valve 61 are closed at the same time to ensure the continued circulation of the gas phase, and then the exhaust valve 9 is opened to drain the waste gas remaining in the nitrogen delivery pipe 6 section between the valves on both sides of the flow regulating valve 61, and then the flow regulating valve 61 can be replaced.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] When in use, the interiors of the first circulating water cooler 71 and the second circulating water cooler 72 are connected to the medium-pressure ammonia absorption tower through pipelines, and a suction pump is provided on the pipelines. The medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1 is connected to the ammonia receiving tank in the prior art, the first shut-off valve 73 is closed, and the second shut-off valve 74 is opened. The gas phase in the ammonia receiving tank directly enters the medium-pressure ammonia recovery tower 1, and then enters the first circulating water cooler 71 through the gas transmission pipeline 3 and the first pipeline 75, and then enters the second circulating water cooler 72 through the second pipeline 76, and finally enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the third pipeline 77. When the gas phase passes through the first circulating water cooler 71 and the second circulating water cooler 72, a small amount of water is added to the first circulating water cooler 71 and the second circulating water cooler 72 to absorb the gas phase. Ammonia components are formed into ammonia water, and the heat released is taken away by the circulating water. The ammonia water enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the ammonia water pump and then flows into the medium-pressure ammonia absorption tower 10 for recycling, thereby reducing the loss of ammonia water and reducing the pressure of the exhaust gas entering the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2. After the exhaust gas enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2, water will be added again to absorb the uncondensed ammonia. At the same time, the nitrogen gas pipeline 3 controls the input of nitrogen into the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2 through the flow regulating valve 61, the transmission flow meter 62 and the pressure gauge transmitter 63 based on the exhaust gas oxygen content provided by the oxygen content online analyzer 5, to ensure that the oxygen content concentration in the exhaust gas is within a safe range to prevent explosion. At the same time, it is avoided that the medium-pressure rear system is overpressured after the nitrogen enters the medium-pressure inert gas washing tower 2, thereby improving the safety of equipment operation.
[0034] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
