[0042] Example 2
[0043] The present embodiment provides a recycling method and a recycling process of the above-mentioned recycling system.
[0044] In the system implementation process, first, the pressure of 2.2-5.2Mpa, containing gaseous dimethyl ether 3%-9% of raw gas through the raw gas pipeline 1 into the washing tower A2, using liquid dimethyl ether washing absorption, wire mesh absorber absorption dimethyl ether droplets, the raw gas dimethyl ether content from 3%-9% to 1.5% or less, then using the regeneration gas flow regulating valve 4 gas, wherein the regeneration gas accounts for 15-25% of the raw gas, the remaining gas through the raw gas pressure regulating valve 5 after decompression to washing tower B11, washing tower B11 washing tower B11, the dimethyl ether content in the raw gas to 1% or less, then sent to the adsorption tower A14 or adsorption tower B15. Adsorption tower A14 or adsorption tower B15 upper outlet dimethyl ether content reaches the design index of 0.3%, switch to another adsorption tower adsorption, the intermediate gas from the intermediate gas pipeline 37 into the second stage of the adsorption tower group.
[0045] In the above washing process, the temperature of the circulating dimethyl ether liquid will gradually increase due to the liquefaction of dimethyl ether gas, and the temperature of the dimethyl ether liquid is reduced to 40 degrees or less by using a dimethyl ether liquid circulating pump 7 and a dimethyl ether liquid cooler 9 to ensure the effect of dimethyl ether liquid washing absorption. The temperature of the dimethyl ether liquid at the bottom of the washing tower A2 and the washing tower B11 should be controlled at 40℃ or less after the dimethyl ether liquid cooler 9, so that the dimethyl ether content in the outlet gas at the top of the washing tower A2 and the washing tower B11 is easily controlled below the design index. After two-stage washing, the dimethyl ether in the raw gas is reduced to 1% or less, reducing the amount of adsorbent in the later stage.
[0046] To ensure the effect of regeneration of the adsorption tower A14 and the adsorption tower B15, the temperature of the regeneration gas after heating by the regeneration gas heater 16 is in the range of 140℃-160℃, which effectively ensures that the dimethyl ether content in the intermediate gas is below the design index of 0.3%. The raw gas is divided into two gases with pressure difference by using the raw gas pressure regulating valve 5 and the regeneration gas flow regulating valve 4, wherein 15-25% of the high pressure part is used as regeneration gas, and the remaining gas is decompressed to remove and recover dimethyl ether in the main process. After the pressure difference is formed by the raw gas pressure regulating valve 5, it is ensured that the regeneration gas can work normally and be recovered, and the system pressure drop is less than 0.2Mpa, which fully meets the requirements of the later stage on pressure. The dimethyl ether content in the raw gas is washed to 1.5% or less by the first-stage washing tower, which reduces the degree of pollution of the adsorption bed when using raw gas as regeneration gas.
[0047] When the adsorption tower A14 or the adsorption tower B15 is saturated and the outlet dimethyl ether content reaches 0.3%, the tower is switched to run, and the adsorption tower enters the regeneration process, and the generated intermediate gas is sent to the second-stage adsorption tower group.
[0048] The regeneration gas is heated to 140-160 degrees by the regeneration gas inlet program control valve 26 and the regeneration gas heater 16, and then is sent to the top of the adsorption tower A 14 or the adsorption tower B 15 through the second program control valve 18. Under the action of the high-temperature gas, the dimethyl ether adsorbed in the adsorbent is gradually desorbed in the form of gas-liquid mixture, enters the desorption gas cooler 31 through the fourth program control valve 20, and finally enters the bottom of the washing tower B 11, thus completing the liquefaction process of dimethyl ether.
[0049] The adsorbent in the adsorption tower is selected from one or more of activated carbon, 5A molecular sieve and silica gel. When the dimethyl ether concentration in the adsorbent reaches the liquefaction concentration, a dimethyl ether gas-liquid mixture is formed in the adsorbent bed, and the dimethyl ether content in the raw gas is reduced to below 0.3% by the first-stage adsorption tower group composed of the adsorption tower A 14 and the adsorption tower B 15, and then enters the second-stage adsorption tower group composed of the adsorption tower C 34, the adsorption tower D 35 and the adsorption tower E 36, so that the total content of dimethyl ether, methyl acetate and methanol in the final product gas can be controlled to be below 100 ppm. The dimethyl ether gas-liquid mixture in the adsorbent is desorbed by isobaric backwashing operation using the raw gas heated to 140-160 degrees, and then is cooled by the cooler, washed by dimethyl ether liquid in the washing tower, liquefied, and recovered, so that the adsorbent is regenerated. The raw gas is used as the adsorption bed regeneration gas source, avoiding the use of other gases for regeneration, which causes product gas pollution. At the same time, the regeneration gas returns to the washing tower B 11 without external loss.
[0050] After the adsorption tower A 14 or the adsorption tower B 15 is desorbed by the high-temperature regeneration gas, the intermediate gas of the other adsorption tower is used for cooling. For example, after the adsorption tower A 14 is desorbed by the regeneration gas, the intermediate gas of the adsorption tower B 15 enters the adsorption tower A 14 through the first program control valve 17, enters the intermediate gas cooling pipeline 27 through the fifth program control valve 21, and then enters the adsorption tower C 34 and the adsorption tower D 35 through the intermediate gas pipeline 37. After the adsorption tower is cooled, the adsorption stage is entered, and the adsorption tower B 15 enters the heating regeneration stage. The two adsorption towers are alternately adsorbed.
[0051] The intermediate gas containing 0.3% dimethyl ether enters the adsorption tower C 34, and the product gas after adsorption of dimethyl ether is directly sent to the product gas pipeline 29. When the total content of dimethyl ether, methyl acetate and methanol at the upper outlet of the adsorption tower C 34 reaches the design value of 100 ppm, the adsorption tower D 35 is switched to run, and the adsorption tower C 34 enters the regeneration process. The adsorption tower C 34 and the adsorption tower D 35 are alternately adsorbed.
[0052] The regeneration gas is heated to 140-160 degrees by the regeneration gas pipeline and the regeneration gas heater 16, and then enters the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower D35, and the regenerated adsorption tower. Under the action of the high-temperature gas, the dimethyl ether adsorbed in the adsorbent is gradually desorbed in the form of a gas-liquid mixture, enters the desorption gas cooler 31 through the fourth program-controlled valve 20, and finally enters the bottom of the washing tower B11, thus completing the whole process of dimethyl ether liquefaction.
[0053] After the regeneration gas is heated to regenerate the adsorbent, the regeneration gas in the third branch of the regeneration gas pipeline main pipe 13 is used first, and then the regeneration gas enters the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower E35 that needs to be cooled through the regeneration gas inlet program-controlled valve 26, the regeneration gas regeneration pipeline 25, the adsorption tower E36 and the cooling program-controlled valve 33. The time for cooling and replacing the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower D35 is not less than 5 minutes, and the replaced gas returns to the bottom of the washing tower B11 through the fourth program-controlled valve 20. Then, the product gas of another adsorption tower is used to cool the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower D35 that needs to be cooled, and the product gas of the other adsorption tower enters the adsorption tower through the first program-controlled valve 17, the adsorption tower that needs to be cooled, the fifth program-controlled valve 21 and the final product gas pipeline 29, so as to further cool the adsorption tower. After the cooling is completed, the adsorption stage is entered, and the other adsorption tower enters the heating and regeneration stage.
[0054] After the adsorption tower E36 runs for five cycles (after replacing the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower D35 five times), the regeneration gas is used to regenerate the adsorption tower E36 through the regeneration gas pipeline 24, the regeneration gas heater 16 and the adsorption tower E regeneration program-controlled valve 28. The desorption gas of the adsorption tower E36 returns to the washing tower B11 through the reflux pipeline 32 to recover dimethyl ether. After the heating and regeneration of the adsorption tower E36 are completed, the product gas of the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower D35 is used to cool the adsorption tower E through the adsorption tower E cooling program-controlled valve A39, the adsorption tower E36 and the adsorption tower E cooling program-controlled valve B41, and then enters the product gas pipeline 29 to perform cooling.
[0055] After the regeneration gas heating of the adsorption tower C34 or the adsorption tower D35 is completed, the regeneration gas is used to cool and replace the adsorption tower that needs to be cooled through the regeneration gas regeneration pipeline 25, the regeneration gas inlet program-controlled valve 26, the adsorption tower E36 and the cooling program-controlled valve 33. The time for cooling and replacing the adsorption tower is not less than 5 minutes, so that the dimethyl ether with a high concentration brought by the regeneration gas main pipeline 13 can be replaced. After the replacement is completed, the product gas is used for cooling, so that the total content of dimethyl ether, methyl acetate and methanol in the product gas can be effectively ensured to be less than 100 ppm.
