Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coke oven gas treatment technology, and in particular to a low-temperature purification system for coke oven gas. Background technology:

[0002] Coke oven gas mainly originates from coke ovens and is produced during the high-temperature dry distillation of coal at 900-1000℃ under air-isolated conditions. The lower heating value of coke oven gas is 16-18 MJ / Nm³. 3 Coke oven gas is a high-quality gaseous fuel with a wide range of applications. However, due to its complex composition, mainly containing combustible gases such as hydrogen (55-60%), methane (23-27%), and carbon monoxide (5-8%), as well as impurities such as tar, naphthalene, sulfides, and ammonia, it is highly flammable and explosive. A mixture with air is prone to explosion upon contact with an open flame. Furthermore, it contains toxic and harmful components such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, untreated coke oven gas cannot be used directly.

[0003] Currently, coke oven gas often requires multiple processing steps, specifically: first, it undergoes indirect or direct cooling to lower the temperature and remove some impurities; then, it is treated with dry or wet desulfurization and decyanation, ammonia stripping and acid washing to remove ammonia, oil washing and absorption to remove benzene, and cooling crystallization or adsorption to remove naphthalene. However, existing treatment methods have many problems. For example, when coke oven gas enters a cooling tower from the outlet of the compressor's intermediate-pressure cylinder and is sprayed with demineralized water to cool it down and wash away impurities, the cooling tower needs to be replenished with water after a period of operation. Currently, demineralized water is used to replenish the cooling tower, but due to the low pressure of the demineralized water, it is impossible to replenish the cooling tower, forcing the unit to be shut down for water replenishment, which seriously affects the continuity and efficiency of coke oven gas treatment.

[0029] This embodiment also adds interlock control, specifically: a liquid level sensor 19 is installed in the cooling tower 3, an air inlet temperature sensor 20 is installed at the air inlet of the cooling tower 3, an air inlet pressure sensor 21 and an air inlet flow regulating valve 24 are installed at the air inlet of the cooling tower 3, a spray water flow regulating valve 23 is installed at the spray water inlet of the cooling tower 3, and an outlet shut-off valve 25 is installed at the outlet of the intermediate pressure cylinder of the compressor 2.

[0031] Job Description:

[0032] The coke oven gas produced by coke oven 1 is pressurized by the intermediate pressure cylinder of compressor 2, and the coke oven gas at 40℃ and 0.7MPa enters the lower part of cooling tower 3. Meanwhile, the wastewater stripping condensate produced by wastewater stripping tower 8 is pumped into the bottom of cooling tower 3 by makeup water pump 11 as circulating liquid. At the same time, circulating pump 12 is started to send the circulating liquid to the tube side of cooling water heat exchanger 7, where it exchanges heat with the 16℃ chilled water in the shell side. After the heat exchange, the temperature of the circulating liquid decreases and it is sent to the spray nozzle at the top of cooling tower 3 to spray and cool the coke oven gas. The cooled coke oven gas enters the bottom of the oil remover 4, where residual tar droplets are removed by the selective adsorption of the degreasing agent in the tower. The coke oven gas is then sent out from the top of the oil remover 4. Finally, the gas enters the bottom of the naphthalene removal unit 5, where activated carbon adsorbents further remove naphthalene from the coke oven gas. It then enters filter 6, where it undergoes liquid separation and dust filtration. Liquid impurities and circulating condensate from cooling tower 3 enter wastewater tank 13. After heat exchange and cooling in wastewater heat exchanger 14, the gas is discharged into coking and chemical production section 15 for further treatment. The clean coke oven gas discharged from filter 6 enters the high-pressure cylinder of compressor 2, ensuring the long-term safe and stable operation of compressor 2. The pressurized clean coke oven gas is then buffered in coke oven gas storage tank 10 for subsequent use.

[0033] To ensure the safe and stable operation of the system throughout the entire process, the following interlocking controls are implemented, including:

[0034] Temperature interlock control: An inlet air temperature sensor 20 is installed at the air inlet of cooling tower 3 to monitor the temperature of the coke oven gas entering cooling tower 3. When the temperature of the coke oven gas at the inlet of cooling tower 3 exceeds 45℃, the controller 22 controls the opening of the spray water flow regulating valve 23 to increase, thereby increasing the spray volume of wastewater stripping condensate to improve the cooling effect of cooling tower 3 on coke oven gas.

[0035] Pressure interlock control: An inlet pressure sensor 21 is installed at the inlet of cooling tower 3 to monitor the pressure of coke oven gas entering cooling tower 3. When the inlet pressure of cooling tower 3 exceeds 0.8MPa, the controller 22 controls the opening of the inlet flow regulating valve 24 to decrease, reducing the amount of coke oven gas entering; if the pressure continues to rise to 0.9MPa, the controller 22 interlocks and closes the outlet shut-off valve 25 of the intermediate pressure cylinder of compressor 2 to prevent excessive pressure from damaging cooling tower 3 and other equipment.

[0036] Liquid level interlock control: A liquid level sensor 19 is installed at the bottom of the cooling tower 3 to monitor the liquid level inside the cooling tower 3. When the liquid level at the bottom of the cooling tower 3 is detected to be lower than the preset minimum set value, the controller 22 interlocks and starts the water supply pump 11 to replenish the cooling tower 3 with wastewater gas condensate; if the liquid level continues to drop and falls below the preset danger level value, the controller 22 interlocks and stops the operation of the chilled water pump 18 to prevent the chilled water pump 18 from running dry and being damaged.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
