[0032] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in other embodiments,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this application.
[0033] This application provides a purge gas treatment system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a purge gas recovery device 1, a combustible component reuse device 2, a ground combustion device 3, and a conveying pipeline 4. Here, purge gas can refer to synthetic ammonia purge gas.
[0034] The purge gas recovery device 1 is used for centralized recovery of purge gas. It is connected to the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 4 to transport the recovered purge gas into the pipeline 4. The outlet end of the conveying pipeline 4 is connected to both the combustible component reuse device 2 and the ground combustion device 3 to transport the purge gas in the conveying pipeline 4 to the combustible component reuse device 2 for reuse or to the ground combustion device 3 for combustion. Preferably, the purge gas in the conveying pipeline 4 is transported to the combustible component reuse device 2 for reuse, to minimize the direct combustion of purge gas through the ground combustion device 3, thereby maximizing the reuse rate of purge gas and reducing energy waste and environmental pollution caused by direct combustion of purge gas in the ground combustion device 3. Furthermore, the ground combustion device 3 may, but is not limited to, be a ground flare.
[0035] The combustible component recycling unit 2 includes a third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201, a fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202, a third-stage desulfurization section 203, and a fourth-stage desulfurization section 204. The vented gas in the conveying pipeline 4 is transported to the third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201, the fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202, the third-stage desulfurization section 203, and the fourth-stage desulfurization section 204, or...
[0036] The vented gas in pipeline 4 is transported to the third-phase ammonium sulfate section 201 and the fourth-phase ammonium sulfate section 202, or to the third-phase desulfurization section 203 and the fourth-phase desulfurization section 204.
[0037] In the ammonia synthesis process, the terms "Phase III ammonium sulfate section" and "Phase IV ammonium sulfate section" can be understood as follows: Phase III ammonium sulfate section 201 likely refers to a specific stage or production line in the ammonium sulfate production process. In this stage, raw materials (such as ammonia and sulfuric acid) undergo a series of chemical reactions to produce ammonium sulfate. This process may include the introduction of ammonia, the addition of sulfuric acid, the control of reaction conditions (such as temperature and pressure), and the separation and purification of the products. Phase III ammonium sulfate section 201 may have specific production equipment, process flows, and technical parameters to ensure the quality and yield of the ammonium sulfate product. Similarly, Phase IV ammonium sulfate section 202 is also a stage or production line in the ammonium sulfate production process. However, compared to Phase III, Phase IV ammonium sulfate section 202 may employ different production processes, equipment, or technical parameters. This may be due to changes in market demand, differences in raw material supply, technological upgrades, or optimizations. Phase IV ammonium sulfate section 202 also includes steps such as the introduction of raw materials, chemical reactions, product separation, and purification, but the specific processes may differ.
[0038] For example, under normal operating conditions, the outlet pressure of the purge gas recovery unit 1 is 80 kPa, and the pressure of the existing coke oven gas pipeline at the inlet of the third and fourth phase ammonium sulfate section 202 is 15 kPa. Now, the ammonia recovery purge gas is introduced into the coke oven gas pipeline at the inlet of the third and fourth phase ammonium sulfate section 202 and / or the gas pipeline at the inlet of the precooling tower of the third and fourth phase desulfurization section to recover ammonia and combustible components in the ammonia recovery purge gas.
[0039] This application embodiment reuses the recovered synthetic ammonia purge gas through the combustible component reuse device 2, reducing energy waste and environmental pollution.
[0040] In some embodiments, the purge gas recovery device 1 includes an ice machine purge gas recovery mechanism 101, a synthesis flash tank purge gas recovery mechanism 102, and a synthetic ammonia recovery mechanism 103. The ice machine purge gas recovery mechanism 101 and the synthesis flash tank purge gas recovery mechanism 102 are respectively connected to the synthetic ammonia recovery mechanism 103 through intermediate pipes. The outlet of the synthetic ammonia recovery mechanism 103 is connected to the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 4. A bypass pipe 5 is provided between the intermediate pipe and the conveying pipeline 4, that is, the purge gas recovered by the ice machine purge gas recovery mechanism 101 and the synthesis flash tank purge gas recovery mechanism 102 can be directly conveyed into the conveying pipeline 4 through the bypass pipe 5.
[0041] A bypass valve 6 can be installed on the bypass pipeline 5. The bypass valve 6 can be opened when the purge gas recovered by the ice machine purge gas recovery mechanism 101 and / or the synthesis flash tank purge gas recovery mechanism 102 is delivered to the delivery pipeline 4. The bypass valve 6 can be... Figure 1 PV1623002 in the example.
[0042] The purge gas treatment system further includes a valve assembly. In addition to the bypass valve 6 described above, the valve assembly further includes a first shut-off valve 7 and a second shut-off valve 8. The first shut-off valve 7 and the second shut-off valve 8 can be respectively represented as Figure 1 XV1623001 and XV1623002 in
[0043] The conveying pipeline 4 has a first branch pipeline and a second branch pipeline. The first branch pipeline is connected to the ground combustion device 3, and the first shut-off valve 7 can be provided on the first branch pipeline. The second branch pipeline is connected to the combustible component recycling device 2, and the second shut-off valve 8 can be provided on the second branch pipeline.
[0044] The first shut-off valve 7 and the second shut-off valve 8 have a differential pressure interlock PDIAS1623001, that is, an abnormal state interlock is set for the first switching valve and the second shut-off valve 8. The purge gas treatment system further includes an alarm. When the differential pressure between the first branch pipeline and the second branch pipeline is greater than the first set threshold, the alarm gives an alarm. When the differential pressure between the first branch pipeline and the second branch pipeline is greater than the second set threshold, the second shut-off valve 8 closes and the first shut-off valve 7 opens, where the second set threshold is greater than the first set threshold.
[0045] Specifically, continuing to combine the above embodiments, PDIAS1623001 = ammonia recovery outlet pressure - pressure of the coke oven gas pipeline at the inlet of the existing three-phase and four-phase ammonium sulfate section 202 = 65 KPa. When PDIAS<1623001> 70 KPaG, an alarm is given. When PDIAS<1623001> 75 KPaG, XV1623002 is interlocked and cut off, and XV1623001 is opened. Here, taking the first threshold as 70 KPaG and the second threshold as 75 KPaG as an example. Of course, it can be understood that the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold can be set according to actual production needs. This is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the claims.
[0046] When the operating pressure of the coke oven gas pipeline at the inlet of the existing three-phase and four-phase ammonium sulfate section 202 < 5 kPaG, the alarm can give an alarm. When the operating pressure of the coke oven gas pipelines at the inlets of the existing three-phase ammonium sulfate section 201 and the four-phase ammonium sulfate section 202 < 3 kPaG, XV1623002 can be interlocked and cut off, and XV1623001 is opened.
[0047] After the above differential pressure interlock opens XV1623001, the ammonia recovery purge gas can be urgently fed into the ground combustion device 3 for combustion.
[0048] In some embodiments, the purge gas treatment system further includes a pressure gauge assembly. The pressure gauge assembly includes a first pressure gauge 9, a second pressure gauge 10, and a third pressure gauge 11. Combining Figure 1The first pressure gauge 9 can be represented as PT1623002 in the figure, the second pressure gauge 10 can be represented as PT1623003 in the figure, and the third pressure gauge 11 can be represented as PT1623004 in the figure.
[0049] The first pressure gauge 9 is installed on the conveying pipeline 4 to detect the pressure in the conveying pipeline 4. The second pressure gauge 10 is installed at the air inlet of the third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201 to detect the pressure at the air inlet of the third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201. The third pressure gauge 11 is installed at the air inlet of the fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202 to detect the pressure at the air inlet of the fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202. The above PDIAS1623001 can be calculated based on the corresponding pressures detected by the first pressure gauge 9, the second pressure gauge 10, and the third pressure gauge 11.
[0050] In some embodiments, the bypass valve 6, the first shut-off valve 7, and the second shut-off valve 8 are all equipped with handwheels, which are used to manually adjust the opening degree of the bypass valve 6, the first shut-off valve 7, and the second shut-off valve 8, respectively. Specifically, the opening degree of the bypass valve 6, the first shut-off valve 7, and the second shut-off valve 8 can be adjusted on-site by adjusting the handwheels of the corresponding valves.
[0051] The vent gas control system also includes a control room (not shown in the figure), which contains a controller. Valve assemblies and pressure gauge assemblies are connected to the controller. XV1623001, XV1623002, and PV1623002 also have remote operation capabilities, meaning that during normal operation, the corresponding valves can be opened and closed via the controller. This vent gas control system employs three measures: differential pressure interlock, remote control, and on-site operation. In emergencies, the central control unit can remotely operate the system to ensure stable operation.
[0052] In some embodiments, the second branch pipeline has four sub-pipes, which are respectively connected to the air inlets of the third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201, the fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202, the third-stage desulfurization section 203, and the fourth-stage desulfurization section 204. Each of the four branch pipelines is equipped with a switch valve. The switch valves can be opened and closed as needed. The four switch valves can be opened or closed simultaneously. Alternatively, two switch valves corresponding to the air inlets of the third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201 and the fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202 can be opened, while two switch valves connected to the air inlets of the third-stage desulfurization section 203 and the fourth-stage desulfurization section 204 can be closed. Or, two switch valves corresponding to the air inlets of the third-stage ammonium sulfate section 201 and the fourth-stage ammonium sulfate section 202 can be closed, while two switch valves connected to the air inlets of the third-stage desulfurization section 203 and the fourth-stage desulfurization section 204 can be opened. The released gas can be supplied separately to the inlet coke oven gas pipelines of the Phase III and Phase IV ammonium sulfate sections, separately to the inlet coke oven gas pipelines of Phase III desulfurization section 203 and Phase IV desulfurization section 204, or simultaneously to the inlet coke oven gas pipelines of Phase III ammonium sulfate section 201, Phase IV ammonium sulfate section 202, and Phase III desulfurization section 203 and Phase IV desulfurization section 204. The specific configuration can be determined based on actual production needs.
[0053] In some embodiments, the vent gas treatment system further includes a flow meter 12, which is disposed on the delivery pipeline 4 and is used to detect the flow rate of the vent gas in the delivery pipeline 4.
[0054] The embodiments of this application are simple, flexible and convenient, and can achieve diversified operations. When the chemical product recovery device is abnormal, it can be released to the ground flare. When the effective gas content of the purge gas is high, it can be released to the third and fourth phase ammonium sulfate and desulfurization stations. This system completely realizes zero pollution of waste gas utilization, improves the level of in-depth environmental protection treatment, eliminates environmental risks, reduces environmental pollution, and has good social and economic value.
[0055] The foregoing has described in detail several embodiments of the present utility model, but the present utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various variations and modifications based on the concept of the present utility model, and these variations and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
