A connecting pipe 6 is connected to the feed pipe of the flash evaporator 2. A second tee pipe 7 is provided at the end of the connecting pipe 6. Both branches of the second tee pipe 7 are connected to flexible hoses 8. The end of the flexible hose 8 away from the second tee pipe 7 is connected to a bottom... The cover 9 and the bottom cover 9 are threadedly connected to a filter cylinder 10. The filter cylinder 10 is equipped with a filter assembly 11 inside.

The two branch pipes of the first three-way pipe 5 are each equipped with a first control valve 19, and the two branch pipes of the bottom cover 9 are each equipped with a second control valve 20. By providing a filtration and slag removal mechanism 4 on the pipeline connecting the low-temperature methanol washing tower 1 and the flash evaporation tower 2, impurities in the gas treated by the low-temperature methanol washing tower 1 can be filtered.
