[0030] The water washing system of this circulating hydrogen desulfurization tower adopts the design form of the desulfurization tower device 1, the lean liquid pipeline 2, the circulating hydrogen gas pipeline 3, the water washing pipeline 4 and the crossover pipeline 5. A lean liquid inlet 11 is provided at the upper part of the desulfurization tower device 1, and the lean liquid inlet 11 is connected to the lean liquid pipeline 2. The lean liquid is transported through the lean liquid pipeline 2 to the upper lean liquid inlet 11, and the lean liquid rinses the internal trays of the desulfurization tower device 1 from top to bottom and adsorbs sulfur to form rich liquid. Finally, the rich liquid is discharged from the rich liquid outlet 12 at the bottom of the desulfurization tower device 1. The desulfurization tower device 1 is provided with a gas inlet 13 and a gas outlet 14, and the gas inlet 13 and the gas outlet 14 are respectively connected to the circulating hydrogen gas pipeline 3. The circulating hydrogen gas enters the desulfurization tower device 1 from the gas inlet 13, and after being rinsed by the lean liquid, it discharges upward from the top gas outlet 14.
[0031] Among them, the water washing pipeline 4 includes a demineralized water branch 41 and a deaerated water branch 42 arranged in parallel. The water washing pipeline 4 is connected to the lean liquid pipeline 2. During the operation of the desulfurization tower, the branch valves 40 on the demineralized water branch 41 and the deaerated water branch 42 can be controlled to open for on-line water washing of the desulfurization tower device 1. The demineralized water and the deaerated water can carry away scale substances such as ammonium salts and sludge inside the trays, effectively extending the operation cycle of the circulating hydrogen desulfurization tower and avoiding the problems of easy blockage of the trays and frequent shutdown for maintenance. In addition, a crossover pipeline 5 is connected between the first sub-interface 31 and the second sub-interface 32 of the circulating hydrogen gas pipeline 3. The intake air volume of the desulfurization tower can be dynamically adjusted through the crossover regulating valve 50, thereby reducing the frequency of liquid carry-over in the circulating hydrogen desulfurization tower and preventing the interlock shutdown of the liquid separation tank at the inlet of the circulating hydrogen compressor.
[0032] In this embodiment, a first convergence interface 21 is provided on the lean liquid pipeline 2. The water washing pipeline 4 further includes a first main water washing path 43. One end of the first main water washing path 43 is respectively connected to the demineralized water branch 41 and the deaerated water branch 42, and the other end of the first main water washing path 43 is connected to the first convergence interface 21. Specifically, a first inlet valve 22 and a first booster pump 23 are installed on the lean liquid pipeline 2 in the liquid inlet direction in sequence, and the first convergence interface 21 is arranged between the first inlet valve 22 and the first booster pump 23. The demineralized water and the deaerated water enter the first convergence interface 21 through the first main water washing path 43 and are transported to the desulfurization tower device 1 under the pressure of the first booster pump 23, thereby achieving the purpose of on-line water washing.
[0033] Moreover, the water washing pipeline 4 further includes a second main water washing path 44. The second main water washing path 44 is arranged in parallel with the first main water washing path 43 and is connected to the lean liquid pipeline 2. Correspondingly, an auxiliary pipeline 6 is also connected to the lean liquid pipeline 2. Along the liquid inlet direction, a second booster pump 61 and a second inlet valve 62 are sequentially installed on the auxiliary pipeline 6. A second converging interface 63 is further provided between the second booster pump 61 and the second inlet valve 62 on the auxiliary pipeline 6, and the second main water washing path 44 is connected to the second converging interface 63. Another water washing path is formed by the second main water washing path 44 and the auxiliary pipeline 6, so that the demineralized water and deaerated water can not only be jointly input into the desulfurization tower device 1 along with the lean liquid, but also be specially used to convey the demineralized water and deaerated water into the desulfurization tower device 1 for water washing work when the conveyance of the lean liquid is stopped.
[0034] As a further preferred solution, a pressure gauge 45 is also installed on the deaerated water branch 42. The pressure gauge 45 is located on the downstream side of the branch valve 40 and can accurately detect the conveying pressure of the deaerated water to ensure an appropriate water washing flow rate. Specifically, both the first main water washing path 43 and the second main water washing path 44 adopt DN80 pipes, and main path valves 46 are respectively installed on the first main water washing path 43 and the second main water washing path 44. The water washing conveyance path can be flexibly switched through the main path valves 46 to meet the water washing requirements under different conditions.
[0035] In this embodiment, flow sensors (not shown in the figure) are respectively installed at the lean liquid inlet 11 and the rich liquid outlet 12. The flow sensors are used to detect the flow rate difference between the incoming lean liquid and the outgoing rich liquid. Moreover, pressure sensors are respectively installed at the gas inlet 13 and the gas outlet 14. The pressure sensors are used to detect the pressure difference between the incoming recycle hydrogen gas and the outgoing recycle hydrogen gas. According to the detected flow rate difference between the incoming lean liquid and the outgoing rich liquid and the pressure difference between the incoming recycle hydrogen gas and the outgoing recycle hydrogen gas, the clogging degree of the trays inside the desulfurization tower device 1 is judged, so as to accurately control the water washing pipeline to start the water washing work.
[0036] In addition, the desulfurization tower device 1 is further provided with a skimming line and a skimming pipeline 15. The connection port of the skimming pipeline 15 is arranged at the same height as the skimming line. With the design of the skimming line and the skimming pipeline 15, the on-line skimming treatment of the recycle hydrogen desulfurization tower can be realized. When serious liquid entrainment occurs in the recycle hydrogen desulfurization tower, the operation of the water washing system is as follows: on the basis of the lean liquid pipeline 2, the demineralized water and deaerated water processes are added. The desulfurization tower device 1 can be subjected to on-line water washing one to two times a week, with the water inlet flow rate of 30 t / h each time, the total demineralized water + lean liquid inlet tower flow rate of 60 t / h, and the interval between each tower washing of 3 h. The actual operation can meet the normal production requirements of the recycle hydrogen desulfurization tower.
[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present utility model, several improvements and substitutions can be made, and these improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
