Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to synthetic ammonia technical field, especially relate to a preparation system of high pressure steam for synthetic ammonia production, the steam of preparation is used in air separation section (mainly) and synthetic section steam turbine generates electricity. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ammonia is an important raw material of chemical products, and is one of the main raw materials of chemical fertilizer, and the demand for ammonia in China is huge. Therefore, the process of synthesizing ammonia from coal as raw material gasification gradually becomes popular.

[0003] The sulfur-tolerant shift process refers to the CO shift reaction of raw gas (including CO, H2, CO2, H2S, etc.) obtained by coal gasification, etc. with steam on a catalyst to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide to obtain synthesis gas for ammonia production. The shift device produces a large amount of shift hot water (temperature about 130℃), which can be used as boiler feed water.

[0004] A patent with application number CN202210704515.4 discloses a sulfur-resistant shift process optimization method. After the crude synthesis gas from coal gasification is washed, it enters the shift system first. The raw gas is separated by a raw gas separator to remove the water entrained in the previous system. The coal gas enters the coal gas preheater tube side and exchanges heat with the shift gas from the steam superheater. Then it is divided into three streams. The first stream enters the pre-shift furnace. The second stream is controlled by the first flow regulating valve to distribute the load. The distributed coal gas enters the second quenching filter and mixes with the shift gas from the steam superheater, and then enters the second shift furnace for reaction. The third stream of gas enters the first shift furnace after being adjusted by the fourth temperature regulating valve to control the reaction temperature of the first shift furnace. The normal inlet temperature of the pre-shift furnace is controlled at 200-240℃. The process gas temperature out of the pre-shift furnace rises to 300-350℃. The process gas out of the pre-shift furnace is sprayed into the first quenching filter with process condensate through the third temperature regulating valve, and the temperature is controlled at 210-240℃. The shift gas out of the first quenching filter is controlled by the second flow regulating valve to add saturated medium-pressure steam, and then enters the steam mixer. After the shift gas out of the steam mixer mixes with the crude coal gas out of the coal gas preheater in the pipeline, the temperature is controlled at 200-250℃ by the fourth temperature regulating valve, and then enters the first shift furnace for shift reaction. The temperature of the shift gas out of the first shift furnace is controlled by the fourth temperature regulating valve to rise to 440-470℃, and the CO content is reduced to 7-10% (vol, dry basis). The 240-270℃ saturated medium-pressure steam is superheated to 370-430℃ in the steam superheater and sent to the medium-pressure steam main pipe. The shift gas out of the steam superheater tube side enters the coal gas preheater shell side and exchanges heat with the crude coal gas. The shift gas entering the coal gas preheater shell side is controlled by the second temperature control valve to control the inlet temperature of the pre-shift furnace. The shift gas after heat exchange by the coal gas preheater mixes with the crude coal gas distributed by the first flow regulating valve and enters the second quenching filter. The amount of process condensate sprayed into the second quenching filter is controlled by the fifth temperature regulating valve to cool the shift gas to 200-220℃, and then the shift gas enters the second shift furnace for shift reaction. After the shift in the second shift furnace, the outlet temperature of the second shift furnace rises to 340-370℃, and the CO content is reduced to 2-3.5% (vol, dry basis). Then the shift gas enters the third quenching filter, and the condensate is sprayed into the third quenching filter by the sixth temperature regulating valve to cool the shift gas to 200-220℃, and then the shift gas enters the third shift furnace for reaction. The outlet temperature of the third shift furnace rises to 215-240℃, and the CO content is reduced to 0.5-1.5% (vol, dry basis). Low-pressure steam is generated in the low-pressure waste heat boiler to recover heat, and the pressure of the low-pressure steam is 0.35-0.55MPa. The liquid level of the low-pressure boiler is controlled by the third liquid level regulating valve, and the steam output is controlled by the first pressure regulating valve to maintain the pressure of the waste heat boiler at 0.35-0.55MPa, for low temperature methanol washing system, the temperature of the shift gas after the waste boiler is reduced to 160-180℃, and the shift gas enters two parallel desalted water preheaters to preheat the desalted water; in order to prevent the desalted water from being gasified and overpressured in the equipment, causing damage to the equipment and pipelines, the desalted water heated by the desalted water preheater is sent to a heat and power deaerator and a coal gasification deaerator respectively, and a liquid level regulating valve of the deaerator is arranged on the inlet pipeline of the desalted water preheater; the desalted water preheater is provided with a process gas bypass, and a valve is arranged at the inlet of the heat exchanger; according to the running condition of the device and the distribution of the desalted water, the outlet temperature of the desalted water is adjusted, and the desalted water is heated from 30-50℃ to 105-135℃.

[0005] The patent with application number CN202310885988.3 discloses an energy-saving and efficient adjustable alcohol pre-gas ammonia production process, which specifically comprises the following steps: S1, a raw material gas is separated from a pressurized coal gasification methanol device as alcohol pre-gas and sent to a shift device of ammonia synthesis through a sealed pipeline; S2, when entering the shift device, the alcohol pre-gas is mixed with the crude synthesis gas to form a mixed gas, and then high-pressure steam is introduced to adjust the water-gas ratio and increase the mixed temperature, and in the shift device, carbon monoxide reacts with water vapor to produce hydrogen gas as shift gas; S3, the shift gas is subjected to low-temperature methanol washing and liquid nitrogen washing, and then nitrogen gas produced by air separation is added to form synthesis gas and sent to an ammonia synthesis device.

[0006] The patent with application number CN202322703494.7 discloses a synthetic ammonia shift cycle cooling system, which comprises a coal gas pipeline connected with the inlet of a gas-liquid separator, a gas phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator connected with a first shift furnace through a tube side of a raw material gas preheater, an outlet of the first shift furnace connected with an inlet of a second shift furnace through a steam superheater, a shell side of the raw material gas preheater and a tube side of a steam generator, and an outlet of the second shift furnace connected with a washing ammonia tower through a cooling heat exchanger, and a gas phase outlet of the washing ammonia tower connected with a methanol washing system.

[0007] However, the shift hot water is not enough to meet the feed water requirement of the boiler, and accounts for 3 / 4 of the feed water requirement of the boiler. Therefore, desalted water needs to be additionally supplemented. The desalted water needs to be heated and deaerated by a deaerator first, and then sent to the boiler as boiler feed water. SUMMARY

The drain trap is arranged on the boiler and its output pipeline (for example, at the low position of the pipeline, the bending position of the pipeline, etc.). The cold water inlet of the drain expansion heat exchanger is connected with the hot water outlet of the slag cooler (specifically, the hot water outlet of the water cooling heat exchanger, and the temperature of the output hot water is about 30 DEG C) through a pipeline, the hot water outlet (the temperature of the output hot water is about 50 DEG C) of the drain expansion heat exchanger is connected with the cold water inlet of the deaerator venting heat exchanger through a pipeline, the steam inlet of the drain expansion heat exchanger is connected with the outlet of the drain expansion vessel (output steam, and the temperature of the steam is about 120 DEG C) through a pipeline, and the condensate outlet of the drain expansion heat exchanger is connected with the drain tank through a pipeline.
