The ammonia-containing vapor discharged from the flash ammonia removal tower enters the ammonia absorption tower (9) via the steam circulator 1-3 (1-3). A small amount of ammonia-containing vapor is condensed and concentrated by the distillation tower (4) and the top condenser (5) and then sent to the ammonium sulfate neutralization tower (10) to neutralize the residual sulfuric acid in the ammonium sulfate solution. The concentrated sulfuric acid storage tank (6) is connected to the acid mixing tank (7) via pump 2-1 (2-1) and is diluted in the acid mixing tank (7). The diluted sulfuric acid (e.g., 15% by mass percentage) flows by gravity through the pipeline to the diluted sulfuric acid tank (8) and is connected to the ammonia absorption tower (9) via pump 2-2 (2-2).

Solid ammonium sulfate is separated and transported by belt conveyor (18); the deammonium digester (3) deammonium digestate enters the settling tank (20), and after clarification, the supernatant overflows to the outside for reuse.

[0016] Further specific procedures include the following:

[0017] (1) Heat exchange of biogas slurry

[0018] The biogas slurry heat exchanger is a unit that increases the temperature of ammonia-containing biogas slurry through heat exchange and decreases the temperature of deammonium-free biogas slurry through heat exchange, and can utilize waste heat.

[0019] The ammonia-containing biogas slurry produced by the anaerobic fermentation system is transported to the ammonia-containing biogas slurry tank (1) through pipelines (temperature is generally 30℃~35℃, biogas slurry TS 2%~5%). The biogas slurry is first mixed with an appropriate amount of defoaming agent, and after being pressurized by the first pump (1-1), it passes through the mud heat exchanger (2). The relatively high temperature (e.g. 90℃) deammonium-containing biogas slurry discharged from the flash deammonium removal tower (3) is used as a heat source. After the deammonium-containing biogas slurry is cooled down (e.g., the temperature drops to 60℃~70℃), it enters the settling tank (20), while the heated (e.g., heated to 45℃~55℃) ammonia-containing biogas slurry enters the flash deammonium removal tower (3) for feeding (preferably the uppermost feed port).

[0020] Based on the temperature difference between the cold and hot sides of the mud-mud heat exchanger (2), multiple stages of heat exchange can be set.

[0021] (2) Deammoniation of biogas slurry

[0022] Ammonia removal from biogas slurry involves stripping and flash evaporation of ammonia-containing biogas slurry to remove ammonia.

[0023] The flash ammonia removal tower (3) is divided into multiple zones inside. The ammonia-containing biogas slurry enters and then flows through each zone in sequence. The circulating steam and fresh steam discharged from the ammonia absorption tower (9) enter the flash ammonia removal tower (3) (preferably from the lower zone inlet, and the specific positions of the circulating steam and fresh steam can be adjusted as needed). In each zone, it comes into countercurrent contact with the ammonia-containing biogas slurry. The ammonia nitrogen in the biogas slurry is removed by stripping and flash evaporation in the flash ammonia removal tower (3). The ammonia nitrogen content of the biogas slurry at the bottom of the ammonia absorption tower (9) (the last stage of flash evaporation) is ≤500mg / L. It is pressurized by the 1st to 5th pumps and the heat is recovered by the mud heat exchanger.

[0024] A small amount of ammonia-containing vapor is discharged from the top of the flash deammoniation tower (3), and after being condensed and concentrated by the distillation tower (4) and the top condenser (5), the concentrated ammonia gas is then pressurized by the first-second steam circulator (1-2) and sent to the ammonium sulfate neutralization tower (10) to neutralize the residual sulfuric acid in the ammonium sulfate solution and adjust the pH; the remaining majority of the ammonia-containing vapor is pressurized by the first-third steam circulator (1-3) and sent to the ammonia absorption tower (9);

[0025] Further optimization of the flash deammoniation tower ③ The internal biogas slurry is circulated in different areas by the first-four pumps (1-4). A total of five first-four pumps (1-4) circulate between the six zones from zone 1 to zone 6 in sequence. Finally, the bottom deammoniation biogas slurry is transported to the settling tank (20) by the first-five pump (1-5) through the mud-sludge heat exchanger (2).

[0026] (3) Ammonia absorption

[0027] Ammonia absorption is a holistic process that involves absorbing concentrated ammonia and ammonia-containing vapors with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate.

[0028] After being pressurized by the first-third steam circulator (1-3), the ammonia-containing steam enters the lower part of the ammonia absorption tower (9), where the ammonia is absorbed by dilute sulfuric acid to generate a solution of ammonium sulfate with a concentration of 30-35%. The secondary steam purified by ammonia removal in the ammonia absorption tower (9) is sent back to the flash ammonia removal tower (3) for recycling through pipeline.

[0029] The ammonium sulfate solution in the ammonia absorption tower (9) is sent to the upper part of the ammonia absorption tower (9) for recycling after passing through the second and third pumps, and the other part is sent to the ammonium sulfate storage tank (11);

[0030] Since the ammonium sulfate solution in the ammonia absorption tower (9) contains a small amount of sulfuric acid (generally the pH is controlled at around 3), the pH value of the ammonium sulfate solution needs to be adjusted before it is sent to the evaporation and crystallization unit. The residual sulfuric acid in the solution is neutralized by concentrated ammonia. The concentrated ammonia comes from the top condenser (9) of the distillation tower. After being pressurized by the first-second steam circulator, it is sent to the bottom of the ammonium sulfate neutralization tower (10) and comes into countercurrent contact with the ammonium sulfate solution from the ammonium sulfate storage tank (11) (transported by the second-fourth pump). The ammonia in the gas phase reacts with the residual sulfuric acid in the liquid phase to generate ammonium sulfate. The pH of the solution is adjusted to around 6 and then sent to the evaporator by the second-five pump.

[0031] (4) Evaporation crystallization

[0032] Evaporation crystallization involves evaporating an ammonium sulfate solution to crystallize it and separate solid ammonium sulfate.

[0033] The ammonium sulfate solution from the ammonium sulfate storage tank (11) is pressurized by the 2nd-5th pump and sent to the evaporator (12). Fresh steam is used to heat the heater (14) for circulating evaporation. The operating pressure in the evaporator (12) is preferably 0.1 MPa and the operating temperature is 128℃ (liquid phase). The generated secondary steam is sent to the flash stripping tower (3) for stripping and ammonia removal.

[0034] The underflow from the evaporator (12) is pumped by the 3-1 pump into the hydrocyclone separator (13) for concentration. The concentrate then enters the ammonium sulfate crystallizer (16) to generate ammonium sulfate crystals. Finally, the solid ammonium sulfate is separated by the centrifuge (17) and sent out by the belt conveyor (18). The centrifuged mother liquor obtained by the centrifuge (17) enters the mother liquor tank (20) and is then pressurized by the 3-3 pump and sent back to the evaporator (12) for further evaporation and concentration. The ammonium sulfate solution in the evaporator (12) is circulated and heated by the heater (14) via the 3-2 pump.

[0035] (5) Sulfuric acid dilution

[0036] Concentrated sulfuric acid transported externally is unloaded into concentrated sulfuric acid storage tank (6) and then pumped to acid mixing tank (7) via pump 2-1. Process water from external pipelines is connected to acid mixing tank (7) for dilution and preparation into dilute sulfuric acid (preferably 15% concentration) which flows into dilute sulfuric acid tank (8). The dilute sulfuric acid in dilute sulfuric acid tank (8) is pumped to ammonia absorption tower (9) via pump 2-2 to react with ammonia to generate ammonium sulfate.

[0037] (6) Solid-liquid separation

[0038] Solid-liquid separation separates a small amount of solids from the liquid phase in the deammoniation biogas slurry;

[0039] After the ammonia-removed biogas slurry from the flash ammonia stripping tower (3) is heat-recovered, it enters the settling tank (20), and the solid particles in the liquid phase slowly settle and concentrate under the action of gravity; the thick phase at the bottom of the settling tank is lifted to the horizontal scroll centrifuge (21) by the 4-2 pump (slurry pump), and the separated discharged slag is sent out by the screw conveyor (23). The clear liquid of the horizontal scroll centrifuge (21) flows back to the clear liquid buffer tank (22) and is pumped back to the settling tank (20) through the 4-1 pump; the clarified liquid of the settling tank (20) overflows for reuse outside the boundary.

[0041] ⑴ The present utility model is applicable to ammonia removal from biogas slurry in anaerobic fermentation projects, achieving the recycling of biogas slurry;

[0042] ⑵ The biogas slurry of the present utility model is no longer discharged externally, reducing the fixed asset investment in anaerobic fermentation projects with the same gas production scale. Description of the drawings

[0093] Process Flow Introduction:

[0094] (1) Biogas Slurry Heat Exchange Part

[0095] Biogas slurry heat exchange is a unit that raises the temperature of ammonia-containing biogas slurry through heat exchange and lowers the temperature of deammoniated biogas slurry through heat exchange, and can utilize waste heat.

[0096] The ammonia-containing biogas slurry produced by the anaerobic fermentation system is transported through pipelines to the ammonia-containing biogas slurry tank (designed temperature 30°C - 35°C, biogas slurry TS 2% - 5%). The daily production of ammonia-containing biogas slurry is 1200 - 1300 m 3 / d

[0097] (designed at 50 m 3 / h). After the biogas slurry feed pump boosts the pressure of the ammonia-containing biogas slurry, it passes through 3 sets of sludge heat exchangers and uses the deammoniated biogas slurry (90°C) discharged from the flash deammoniation tower as the heat source to exchange heat with the ammonia-containing biogas slurry. The temperature of the deammoniated biogas slurry drops to about 60°C - 70°C and enters the settling tank, while the temperature of the ammonia-containing biogas slurry rises to 45°C - 55°C and enters the feed inlet of the first zone of the flash deammoniation tower.

[0098] The defoamer and process water are mixed and pressurized in the defoamer system, and then connected to the pipeline of the ammonia-containing biogas slurry after the biogas slurry feed pump and the ammonia-containing biogas slurry.

[0099] (2) Biogas Slurry Deammoniation Part

[0100] The inside of the flash deammoniation tower is divided into 6 zones. After the ammonia-containing biogas slurry enters from the feed inlet of the first zone, it flows through each zone from zone 1 to zone 6 in sequence. Fresh steam enters the flash deammoniation tower from zone 6 and contacts the biogas slurry countercurrently in each zone. Through stripping and flashing, ammonia nitrogen in the biogas slurry is removed. The deammoniated biogas slurry after the last-stage flashing is boosted by a pump and recovers heat through a sludge heat exchanger.

[0101] Deammoniated biogas slurry: ammonia nitrogen content ≤ 500 mg / L, temperature about 90°C, enters the biogas slurry heat exchange part.

[0102] Circulating steam: pressure: 0.29 MPa·G, from the ammonia absorption tower

[0103] Fresh steam: pressure: ≥ 0.3 MPa·G, consumption: Max 3000 kg / h (continuous), from the waste heat utilization steam boiler supporting the anaerobic fermentation project generator.

[0104] (3) Ammonia Absorption

[0105] The ammonia-containing steam is pressurized by a steam pump and enters the lower part of the ammonia absorption tower.

[0106] The ammonium sulfate solution at the bottom of the ammonia absorption tower is pumped back to the upper part of the ammonia absorption tower for spraying and mixed with the rising ammonia-containing steam. After absorbing ammonia in the steam, the ammonium sulfate solution falls to the bottom of the ammonia absorption tower, and the ammonium sulfate is recycled.

[0107] Dilute sulfuric acid is injected into the ammonium sulfate circulation pipeline to absorb ammonia containing ammonia vapor. The amount of dilute sulfuric acid added is adjusted according to the pH value detected online in the ammonium sulfate circulation pipeline. The concentration of the generated ammonium sulfate solution is 30-35%.

[0108] When the ammonium sulfate solution at the bottom of the ammonia absorption tower reaches a certain height (detected online), the bypass electric regulating valve is opened, and a portion of the ammonium sulfate solution is sent to the ammonium sulfate storage tank and then pumped to the evaporator.

[0109] The pH inside the ammonia absorption tower is controlled at around 3. The discharged ammonium sulfate solution contains a small amount of sulfuric acid. Therefore, before the ammonium sulfate solution is sent to the evaporation and crystallization unit, it is neutralized with concentrated ammonia in the ammonium sulfate neutralization tower to remove the residual sulfuric acid in the solution and adjust the pH value.

[0110] (4) Evaporation crystallization

[0111] The ammonium sulfate solution in the ammonium sulfate storage tank is pumped to the evaporator.

[0112] The ammonium sulfate solution in the evaporator is indirectly heated by fresh steam in the heater. The resulting secondary steam contains a small amount of ammonia and is sent back to the flash stripping tower for stripping and ammonia removal, allowing for reuse. The operating pressure inside the evaporator is 0.1 MPa, and the operating temperature is 128℃ (liquid phase).

[0113] The bottom flow of the evaporator is pumped into a hydrocyclone separator for concentration. The concentrated liquid at the bottom flows into an ammonium sulfate crystallizer to generate a mixture of crystalline ammonium sulfate. The solid ammonium sulfate is then separated by a centrifuge and transported out by a belt conveyor.

[0114] The centrifuged mother liquor is pumped to an evaporator for further evaporation and concentration.

[0115] The supernatant from the hydrocyclone separator is returned to the evaporator.

[0116] The biogas slurry is recycled and reused, and no more biogas slurry is discharged externally, while meeting the requirements.
