Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of reuse systems of vent gas, in particular to a kind of methanol vent gas reuse system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of preparing methanol, most of the gas discharged from methanol synthesis column forms circulating gas in the process of cooling and separating methanol, and the rest is regarded as methanol vent gas. Methanol vent gas contains abundant hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen, and also valuable components such as methanol and methyl formate. In order to realize the reuse of effective gas therein, hydrogen contained in the vent gas is usually purified by pressure swing adsorption, but in the process of purification, desorption gas is produced as a byproduct, which also contains hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and a small amount of methanol. Currently, this part of desorption gas is usually directly discharged to the flare for combustion and venting; at the same time, when the hydrogen extraction process is overhauled or stopped, the methanol vent gas also needs to be discharged to the flare for combustion and venting, causing great waste of resources.

Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled person in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0019] Embodiment 1:
[0020] As Figure 1 ,2 The methanol purge gas recycling system shown comprises a methanol synthesis device 1, a purge gas washing tower 2, a hydrogen extraction device 3, and a coke oven;
[0021] The outlet of the methanol synthesis device 1 is connected to the gas inlet of the purge gas washing tower 2 through a pipeline, the gas outlet of the purge gas washing tower 2 is connected to the gas inlet of the hydrogen extraction device 3 through a pipeline, and the gas outlet of the purge gas washing tower 2 and the desorption gas outlet of the hydrogen extraction device 3 are both connected to the coke oven gas recycling pipeline 4 through pipelines;
[0022] A first shut-off valve 8 is arranged on the pipeline connecting the gas outlet of the purge gas washing tower 2 and the coke oven gas recycling pipeline 4, and a second shut-off valve 9 is arranged on the pipeline connecting the gas outlet of the purge gas washing tower 2 and the gas inlet of the hydrogen extraction device 3.

[0024] Working explanation:
[0025] Under normal circumstances, the methanol purge gas is sent to the hydrogen extraction device 3 to recover the hydrogen contained therein, and the by-product desorption gas is mixed with the coke oven gas to be used as fuel gas and sent to the combustion chamber of the coke oven through the coke oven gas recycling pipeline 4, thereby increasing the coke oven gas production and improving the economic benefit of coking.
[0026] When the hydrogen extraction device 3 is under maintenance or fails to operate, the methanol purge gas is directly mixed with the coke oven gas to be used as fuel gas and sent to the combustion chamber of the coke oven through the coke oven gas recycling pipeline 4.
[0027] Since the heat value of the desorption gas is low, it may not reach the required temperature of the first-grade metallurgical coke under different working conditions. Therefore, the opening size of the flow regulating valve 11 can be adjusted according to the flame temperature in the combustion chamber of the coke oven detected by the flame temperature sensor 6, so as to adjust the proportion of the mixed desorption gas, thereby ensuring that the temperature requirement of the first-grade metallurgical coke is met. The desorption gas that cannot be recycled by mixing is burned and vented through the flare 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the process parameters of methanol purge gas and desorption gas are shown in Table 2.
