Description

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pressurized stripping treatment of acidic water, and more specifically relates to a pressurized stripping ammonia extraction system for acidic water. Background Technique

[0002] In the existing integrated utilization device of low-pressure gas and acidic water, the acid water stripping tower in the acidic water pressurized stripping unit is of the side-line ammonia extraction type. The side-line stripping tower extraction layer is provided with an extraction port on the tray where ammonia is enriched. After extraction, it is cooled and flash-evaporated, and then ammonia water with a concentration of about 15-20% is obtained after water absorption. The main component of the top gas is hydrogen sulfide, and the bottom is purified water with H2S ≤ 50 ppm, NH3 ≤ 100 ppm, and oil content ≤ 50 mg / L.

[0003] During the actual operation process, it is found that the liquid level of the side-line amine extraction secondary condenser is full, and the liquid level cannot be discharged even when the bottom drain control valve and the control valve bypass line are fully opened, which seriously affects the quality of ammonia water. The improper proportion of side-line amine extraction leads to the extraction of hydrogen sulfide together with ammonia gas, forming ammonium salt crystals at the low temperature of the secondary condenser, resulting in pipeline blockage, inability to drain condensate in time, unqualified ammonia water quality, and excessive hydrogen sulfide.

[0029] In one embodiment, the stripping column 1 includes 49 trays, and the three side line extraction outlets are specifically distributed on the trays from the 17th to the 21st.

[0030] In one embodiment, the reboiler 17 is heated by steam, the first condenser 3 to the fifth condenser 7 are cooled by circulating water, and the fourth heat exchanger 11 exchanges heat with circulating water.

[0031] Process flow:

[0032] The sulfur- and ammonia-containing sewage is pressurized by the feed pump. The pump outlet is divided into two paths. One is the cold feed, which passes through the first condenser 3 and enters the column from the top feed port of the stripping column 1. The other is the hot feed, which is sequentially heated to 150 °C through the first heat exchanger 8 and the second heat exchanger 9 and enters the column from the middle feed port of the stripping column 1. A reboiler 17 is provided at the bottom of the stripping column 1. The hydrogen sulfide gas produced at the top of the stripping column 1 enters the subsequent deammoniation column through the hydrogen sulfide output pipe 18. The purified water is produced at the bottom liquid outlet of the stripping column 1 and is sequentially cooled by the third heat exchanger 10, the first heat exchanger 8, the air cooler 25 and the fourth heat exchanger 11 and then sent out of the system. The side line is rich in ammonia gas, which is cooled to 120 °C by heat exchange with the feed through the second heat exchanger 9 and then enters the first liquid separation tank 14. The gas phase at the top of the first liquid separation tank 14 is cooled to 90 °C by the second condenser 4 and enters the second liquid separation tank 15. The gas phase at the top of the second liquid separation tank 15 is further cooled to 40 °C by the third condenser 5 and enters the third liquid separation tank 16. The gas phase ammonia content at the top of the third liquid separation tank 16 can reach more than 99%. In the ammonia water mixer 12, the gas phase ammonia is mixed with desalted water to produce product ammonia water with a concentration of about 15%, and then enters the ammonia water tank 13 after being cooled by the fourth condenser 6. The liquid phase at the bottom of the first liquid separation tank 14 enters the main pipe 23 through the first branch pipe 21 in sequence. The liquid phase at the bottom of the second liquid separation tank 15 enters the main pipe 23 through the second branch pipe 22 in sequence. The liquid phase enters the fifth condenser 7 through the main pipe 23 and is cooled to 40 °C and then enters the acidic water output pipe 19 together with the liquid phase at the bottom of the third liquid separation tank 16.

[0033] The condensate produced by the second liquid separation tank 15 contains hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and carbon dioxide, and ammonium salt crystals are formed at the low-temperature part of the second branch pipe 22, blocking the pipeline, so that the device is frequently shut down for maintenance. To solve this problem, the ammonia extraction outlet is adjusted. Originally, the lower extraction outlet was generally put into use. However, it was found in the operation that due to the rapid changes in raw materials, etc., it was difficult to accurately adjust the high-concentration area of ammonia to near the lower extraction outlet. Therefore, the side line extraction outlet is changed from a simple lower extraction to a combined "upper and lower" extraction, which enhances the adaptability, can effectively reduce the hydrogen sulfide extraction amount, and reduce the possibility of ammonium salt crystallization. There are 3 side line extraction outlets vertically distributed in the middle of the stripping column 1, which reduces the amount of hydrogen sulfide extracted together with ammonia and reduces the possibility of ammonium salt crystallization.

[0034] Steam tracing is added to the second branch pipe 22 to reduce the possibility of ammonium salt crystallization and ensure that the temperature of the tracing return water is above 120 °C.

[0035] A high-temperature purified water flushing pipeline 24 is added at the low-temperature and easily blocked part of the second branch pipe 22, and flushing is carried out regularly to prevent the pipeline from being blocked by crystalline substances, so as to avoid unqualified ammonia water quality caused by untimely liquid separation. During flushing, the frequency conversion of the air cooler 25 is used to raise the temperature of the cooled purified water to above 100 °C, and the high-temperature purified water is introduced into the flushing pipeline 24 for flushing. After the crystalline substance NH4HS on the inner wall of the pipeline is dissolved in water by the high-temperature purified water, the flushing liquid is sent out of the device together with the condensate of the first liquid separation tank 14 and the second liquid separation tank 15. After the flushing is completed, the frequency conversion of the air cooler 25 is used to lower the temperature of the cooled purified water to 60 °C.

[0036] The description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
