Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of methanol distillation, and in particular to a six-tower multi-effect distillation device for crude methanol. Background Art

[0002] Methanol is an important chemical raw material, widely used in chemical, energy, fuel cell and other fields. In the production process of methanol, distillation is a key separation operation used to purify the methanol product. Traditional methanol distillation usually adopts a three-tower process consisting of a pre-tower, a pressure tower and an atmospheric tower. The technology of thermal coupling between the pressure tower and the atmospheric tower is used to achieve energy saving in the distillation system. Specifically, the overhead steam of the pressure tower is used to heat the atmospheric tower to achieve energy saving. However, the top of the atmospheric tower and the pre-tower is cooled by circulating water, resulting in a large amount of heat being wasted, which makes the steam consumption of the entire system relatively high, about 1.2 tons of steam / ton of refined methanol. Against the background of increasingly stringent environmental requirements, a new technology is needed to recover heat in the original system to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0003] The methanol synthesis tower is a key piece of equipment in the methanol production process, situated at the front end of the entire production process. Within the tower, crude methanol is produced through a chemical reaction between carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen at a specific temperature, pressure, and catalyst. The methanol synthesis tower is an exothermic reaction process, and much of the low-temperature waste heat from the tower is dissipated into the atmosphere through water cooling, air cooling, or evaporative cooling, leaving it underutilized. This application aims to achieve greater energy conservation and carbon reduction benefits by integrating the heat from the synthesis gas generated by the tower into the distillation system.
