Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a rectification column waste heat recovery system in the DMSO recovery process, belonging to the technical field of rectification column waste heat recovery. Background Technique

[0002] Many production processes often involve the separation of miscible liquid mixtures, such as petroleum refining, purification of organic synthesis products, solvent recovery, and compliance treatment before waste liquid discharge. There are various separation methods, and the most commonly used in industry is rectification.

[0003] Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a sulfur-containing organic compound, which is a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature and is a hygroscopic flammable liquid. It has the characteristics of high polarity, high boiling point, good thermal stability, aprotic, and miscible with water, and can dissolve in most organic substances such as ethanol, propanol, benzene, and chloroform, and is known as the "universal solvent".

[0004] Currently, when the existing rectification column recovers DMSO, a large amount of waste heat still remains unused in the separated gas phase and liquid phase, resulting in a large loss of medium-pressure steam. At the same time, if you want to improve the distillation efficiency and increase the bottom temperature of the column, more steam will be consumed.

[0005] To sum up, it is obvious that there are inconveniences and defects in the actual use of the existing technology, so it is necessary to improve it. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies in the background technique, the utility model provides a rectification column waste heat recovery system in the DMSO recovery process, which can efficiently recover and utilize the heat of the remaining high-temperature steam in the first-effect rectification column and the second-effect rectification column. At the same time, through steam circulation, the steam can be reused again, and the external purchase amount of steam can be reduced.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A rectification column waste heat recovery system in the DMSO recovery process includes a second-effect rectification column and a first-effect rectification column. The solution containing low-concentration DMSO is first rectified by the second-effect rectification column and then flows into the first-effect rectification column through a pipeline for further rectification;

[0009] It also includes a second-effect rectification column heat exchanger, a steam compressor, and a second-effect rectification column reboiler. The DMSO solution first passes through the second-effect rectification column heat exchanger and then flows into the bottom of the second-effect rectification column. The second-effect rectification column is connected to the hot side of the second-effect rectification column heat exchanger through a pipeline;

[0010] The top of the first-effect rectification column is connected to the steam compressor through a pipeline. The steam compressor compresses the steam and connects it to the hot side of the second-effect rectification column reboiler. The second-effect rectification column reboiler further heats the second-effect rectification column through a circulation pipeline.

[0011] Further, it also includes a reboiler for the first-effect rectification column. The reboiler for the first-effect rectification column is connected to the first-effect rectification column through a circulation pipeline, and the reboiler for the first-effect rectification column provides heat energy for the first-effect rectification column.

[0012] Further, a part of the steam flowing out of the reboiler for the first-effect rectification column flows into a steam generator, and the steam generator is used to provide medium-pressure steam for the reboiler for the first-effect rectification column.

[0013] Further, another part of the steam flowing out of the reboiler for the first-effect rectification column flows into a condensate heat exchanger, and the external cold water absorbs the waste heat of the steam after passing through the condensate heat exchanger and becomes hot water.

[0014] Further, a flash tank is provided between the first-effect rectification column and the second-effect rectification column. The liquid in the first-effect rectification column flows from the bottom of the column into the flash tank, and the flash tank flows into the first-effect rectification column through a pipeline.

[0015] Further, a feed pipeline preheating heat exchanger is provided on the pipe section between the second-effect rectification column heat exchanger and the second-effect rectification column. Desalted hot water flows through the feed pipeline preheating heat exchanger to further heat the solution.

[0016] Further, the cold side of the second-effect rectification column heat exchanger is connected to the second-effect rectification column condensate tank; the cold side of the second-effect rectification column reboiler is connected to the first-effect rectification column condensate tank.

[0017] After the present utility model adopts the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The remaining high-temperature steam in the second-effect rectification column flows from the top of the column into the second-effect rectification column heat exchanger to preheat the solution in the input pipeline, and the heat of the high-temperature steam in the second-effect rectification column is recovered; the remaining high-temperature steam in the first-effect rectification column flows into the reboiler for the second-effect rectification column after being pressurized by a steam compressor and serves as the heat source for the second-effect rectification column, so that the remaining high-temperature steam in the first-effect rectification column is efficiently recovered and utilized.

[0019] 2. A part of the steam flowing out of the reboiler for the first-effect rectification column flows into the steam generator, and transporting steam into the steam generator can reduce the amount of purchased steam; another part flows into the condensate heat exchanger, and the external cold water absorbs the waste heat of the steam after passing through the condensate heat exchanger and becomes hot water, recovering the heat energy.

The second-effect distillation tower 1 is connected to the hot side of the second-effect distillation tower heat exchanger 2 through a pipeline, and the cold side of the second-effect distillation tower heat exchanger 2 is connected to the second-effect distillation tower condenser 10;

[0027] The top of the first-effect distillation tower 4 is connected to the steam compressor 6 through a pipeline. The steam compressor 6 compresses the steam and is connected to the hot side of the reboiler 7 of the second-effect distillation tower. As the heat source of the reboiler 7 of the second-effect distillation tower, the reboiler 7 of the second-effect distillation tower further heats the second-effect distillation tower 1 through a circulation pipeline.

[0031] A flash evaporator 12 is provided between the first-effect distillation tower 4 and the second-effect distillation tower 1. The liquid in the first-effect distillation tower 4 flows into the flash evaporator 12 from the bottom of the tower. The flash evaporator 12 flows into the first-effect distillation tower 4 through a pipeline. The flash evaporator 12 vaporizes the solution to minimize the solids (polymers or salts) present in the material fed to the distillation section.

[0032] A feed pipeline preheating heat exchanger 3 is provided on the pipe section between the second-effect distillation tower heat exchanger 2 and the second-effect distillation tower 1. Desalinated hot water flows in the feed pipeline preheating heat exchanger 3 to further heat the solution.

[0033] The specific working principle of the utility model:

[0034] The remaining high-temperature steam in the second-effect distillation tower 1 flows from the top of the tower into the second-effect distillation tower heat exchanger 2 to preheat the solution in the input pipeline and recover the heat of the high-temperature steam in the second-effect distillation tower 1; the remaining high-temperature steam in the first-effect distillation tower 4 is pressurized by the steam compressor 6 and flows into the second-effect distillation tower reboiler 7 as the heat source of the second-effect distillation tower 1, so that the remaining high-temperature steam in the first-effect distillation tower 4 can be efficiently recovered and utilized.
