Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas recovery technology, and more specifically, to a water-soluble gas recovery tower. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid advancement of industrialization, numerous industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing generate large quantities of various gases during their production processes, including many water-soluble gases such as ammonia, hydrogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide. If these water-soluble gases are not properly recovered and treated, they can combine with moisture in the atmosphere to form acid rain and other severe weather conditions, causing serious corrosion and damage to soil, water bodies, vegetation, and other ecosystems, threatening biodiversity. Traditional absorption towers, while widely used, discharge the absorbent liquid after it comes into contact with the gas. This absorbent liquid is used only once and then discharged, failing to achieve full utilization. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a water-soluble gas recovery tower.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model discloses a water-soluble gas recovery tower, including a buffer tank, a primary absorption tower, a secondary absorption tower, a tertiary absorption tower, and an induced draft fan.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a water-soluble gas recovery tower includes a buffer tank 1, a primary absorption tower 2, a secondary absorption tower 3, a tertiary absorption tower 4, a demister 5, an induced draft fan 6, a discharge circulation pump 7, and an absorption liquid system 11. The upper end of the buffer tank 1 is connected to the lower end of the primary absorption tower 2, and the upper end of the secondary absorption tower 3 is connected to the lower end of the primary absorption tower 2. The secondary absorption tower 3 is located above the primary absorption tower 2 and is separated from the primary absorption tower 2 and is not connected to it.
[0018] A heat exchanger is installed inside the primary absorption tower 2, and a spray mechanism 10 is installed above the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is a shell-and-tube type, arranged along the length of the primary absorption tower 2. Both ends of the heat exchanger are connected to a circulating water inlet main pipe 14 and a circulating water outlet main pipe 15, respectively. The height of the circulating water inlet main pipe 14 is lower than that of the circulating water outlet main pipe 15. An inlet flow regulating valve 17 is installed on the circulating water inlet main pipe 14, and a thermometer 18 is installed on the buffer tank 1. The inlet flow regulating valve 17 is electrically connected to the thermometer 18. The temperature of the liquid in the buffer tank 1 is detected by the thermometer 18. When the liquid temperature is higher than the set value, the inlet flow regulating valve 17 increases its opening, increasing the amount of liquid entering the primary absorption tower 2 and ensuring heat exchange efficiency. An air inlet pipe is connected to the outer periphery of the primary absorption tower 2. The connection between the air inlet pipe and the primary absorption tower 2 is located between the spray mechanism 10 and the primary absorption tower 2. The other end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the gas phase inlet 12. The gas to be treated at the gas inlet 12 enters the primary absorption tower 2 through the inlet pipe, where the water-soluble gases in the gas are absorbed by the absorbent discharged from the spray mechanism 10. Simultaneously, the gas passes through the primary absorption tower 2 and enters the buffer tank 1, where the primary absorption tower 2 exchanges heat with the gas, lowering its temperature and facilitating treatment. The gas in the buffer tank 1 enters the lower part of the secondary absorption tower 3 through the gas supply pipe 27.
[0019] Spray mechanism 3 (8) and spray mechanism 2 (9) are installed in the secondary absorption tower 3 and tertiary absorption tower 4, respectively. Packing material is installed below spray mechanisms 3 (8) and 2 (9) in both towers. The packing material provides sufficient contact surface for the gas and liquid phases, and its height is 1800-2100 mm. A gas supply pipe 27 and an overflow pipe 28 connect the buffer tank 1 and the secondary absorption tower 3. The connection point of the gas supply pipe 27 to the secondary absorption tower 3 is higher than the connection point of the overflow pipe 28 to the secondary absorption tower 3, and the connection point of the gas supply pipe 27 to the buffer tank 1 is higher than the connection point of the overflow pipe 28 to the buffer tank 1. The end of the gas supply pipe 27 connected to the secondary absorption tower 3 is inclined upwards at 3° to prevent condensate from clogging the pipe. A U-shaped water seal 16 is installed near the connection point of the overflow pipe 28 to the buffer tank 1. The U-shaped water seal 16 prevents gas from passing through the overflow pipe 28, thus preventing cross-contamination between the buffer tank 1 and the secondary absorption tower 3.
[0020] The gas passes through the secondary absorption tower 3 and the tertiary absorption tower 4, and is then guided and discharged by the induced draft fan 6. While in the secondary absorption tower 3 and the tertiary absorption tower 4, the gas is absorbed by the water-soluble gases by the absorption liquid discharged through the spray mechanism 3 8 and the spray mechanism 2 9. This liquid falls into the bottom of the secondary absorption tower 3 for temporary storage, and overflows into the buffer tank 1 through the overflow pipe 28 after reaching a certain amount.
[0021] A demister 5 is installed inside the three-stage absorption tower 4, above the spray mechanism 8. The gas passes through the demister 5 to remove condensation and reduce entrained liquid droplets.
[0022] The inlet of the induced draft fan 6 is connected to the upper end of the three-stage absorption tower 4, and the outlet of the induced draft fan 6 is connected to the atmosphere. A concentration analyzer 23 and an inlet pressure gauge 26 are installed on the pipe connecting the induced draft fan 6 and the three-stage absorption tower 4. The absorbent system 11 is connected to the spray mechanism 8 via a pipe, and the absorbent system 11 provides new absorbent to the spray mechanism 8 through the pipe. An absorbent inlet flow regulating valve 24 and a flow meter 25 are installed on the pipe connecting the absorbent system 11 and the spray mechanism 8. The absorbent inlet flow regulating valve 24 is electrically connected to the concentration analyzer 23. The concentration analyzer 23 detects the concentration of water-soluble gases in the discharged gas. When the concentration is higher than a set value, the absorbent inlet flow regulating valve 24 is opened wider, increasing the amount of new absorbent entering the spray mechanism 8 to absorb more water-soluble gases and reduce the concentration of water-soluble gases in the discharged gas.
[0023] The inlet of the discharge circulation pump 7 is connected to the buffer tank 1, and the outlet of the discharge circulation pump 7 is connected to the spray mechanism 2 9, the spray mechanism 10, and the discharge port 13 via pipelines. Part of the absorbent in the buffer tank 1 is pumped by the discharge circulation pump 7 into the spray mechanism 2 9 and the spray mechanism 10 for continued absorption of water-soluble gases, while the remaining part is pumped out from the discharge port 13 by the discharge circulation pump 7. Simultaneously, new absorbent is added to the absorbent system 11 to maintain a balance in the total amount of absorbent. The primary absorption tower 2 and the secondary absorption tower 3 use the old absorbent for preliminary absorption, while the tertiary absorption tower 4 uses new absorbent for final absorption. This multiple absorption process ensures full utilization of the absorbent and guarantees sufficient absorption of water-soluble gases.
[0024] A discharge flow regulating valve 20 is installed on the pipeline connecting the discharge circulation pump 7 and the discharge port 13. A level gauge 19 is installed on the buffer tank 1. The discharge flow regulating valve 20 and the level gauge 19 are electrically connected. The level gauge 19 is used to detect the amount of absorbent liquid in the buffer tank 1. When the amount of absorbent liquid exceeds the set value, the opening of the discharge flow regulating valve 20 is increased, so that the amount of absorbent liquid discharged from the discharge port 13 increases, thereby keeping the total amount of absorbent liquid in the tower balanced.
[0025] The induced draft fan 6 is controlled by a frequency converter 22. A gas inlet pipe pressure gauge 21 is installed on the pipe connecting the gas inlet 12 and the primary absorption tower 2. The frequency converter 22 is associated with the gas inlet pipe pressure gauge 21. When the gas inlet pipe pressure gauge 21 detects that the pressure rise exceeds the preset value, the frequency converter 22 controls the induced draft fan 6 to increase its operating frequency and increase the discharge to ensure pressure stability.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
