Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an evaporation system, in particular to a leaching miscella evaporation system, belonging to the technical field of evaporation equipment. Background Technique
[0002] The oil extraction by leaching method has a history of more than a hundred years and is applicable to most oilseeds for oil extraction, especially those oil raw materials with high nutritional value but low oil yield. It mainly includes an extraction section, a wet meal desolventizing section, a miscella evaporation section, and a tail gas absorption section.
[0003] In a conventional miscella evaporation section, the main equipment includes a first evaporator, an oil-oil heat exchanger, a second evaporator, a stripping tower, and a crude oil cooler. It is a full negative pressure evaporation with a low evaporation temperature and high oil quality. The vacuum system often uses a steam jet pump. Specifically as follows: The miscella is heated and flash-evaporated in the first evaporator, and the outlet miscella concentration reaches ~80%, and the temperature is ~55°C. A rising film evaporator is mostly used with high heat transfer efficiency; the miscella at the outlet of the first evaporator exchanges heat with the crude oil at the outlet of the stripping tower, and the miscella temperature is heated to ~75°C, and the crude oil temperature drops to ~80°C. The oil-oil heat exchanger adopts a tube bundle structure; the heated miscella is sent to the second evaporator and heated with saturated steam, and the outlet miscella concentration reaches more than 95%, and the temperature is ~110°C; finally, it is sent to the stripping tower and stripped with direct steam to obtain crude oil with a solvent content within 50 ppm and a temperature of ~110°C; the crude oil at the outlet of the stripping tower exchanges heat through the oil-oil heat exchanger and is cooled to below 50°C by the oil cooler for storage and transportation. The first evaporator and the second evaporator use the same vacuum with a vacuum degree of 50 - 60 KPa; the stripping tower uses a high vacuum with a vacuum degree of 60 - 70 KPa.
[0004] Chinese Patent with the publication number of CN 206177086U discloses a 4-unit oil / miscella heat exchanger for the evaporation of oil miscella solvent. When the equipment works, the miscella coming out of the first evaporator exchanges heat with the crude oil coming out of the stripping tower. Because the miscella concentration at the first evaporator is high and the flow rate is low, the heat of the crude oil coming out of the stripping tower cannot be fully utilized. The temperature of the crude oil after heat exchange is still 70 - 80°C and still needs to be cooled down to 40 - 50°C for storage.
[0005] The patent with the application number CN 114470841A proposes a heat energy recovery device for the prepreg section. This technical solution uses the steam at the top of the second evaporator or the stripping column to recover the waste heat of the mixed oil entering the second evaporator. This technical solution aims to reduce the steam consumption of the second evaporator and achieve the secondary utilization of heat energy, but both have drawbacks. In Solution 1, the top gas phase of the second evaporator is used to preheat the mixed oil. Since the second evaporator is indirectly heated and the gas phase component is solvent gas, the heat transfer efficiency is not high, the heat transfer area is large, and the input cost is high. In Solution 2, the top gas phase of the stripping column is used to preheat the mixed oil. Most of the gas phase components are water vapor, and the utilization efficiency is high. However, only the heating section is configured and it is only used to raise the temperature of the mixed oil without flashing, so the heat energy of the gas phase of the stripping column is not fully utilized and the concentration of the mixed oil is not increased.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the top gas phase outlet of the stripping column is connected to the inlet of the shell side of the pre-secondary evaporation, the outlet of the shell side of the pre-secondary evaporation is connected to the inlet of the stripping condenser, and the outlet of the stripping condenser is connected to the suction port of the stripping liquid ring vacuum pump.
