Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coke oven gasification product recovery and anhydrous ammonia production technology, specifically relating to an ammonia collection, washing and purification device for liquid ammonia storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] After being cooled by an indirect primary cooler, the raw coal gas from the coke oven contains 4-8 g / m³ of ammonia. 3 When washing benzene with wash oil, ammonia in the coal gas can also be absorbed by the wash oil, which can easily lead to emulsification and deterioration of the wash oil, increasing the consumption of wash oil; high ammonia content in rich oil can cause corrosion of equipment and pipelines in the benzene removal system; ammonia in coal gas will produce nitrogen oxides when burned, causing environmental pollution, so ammonia in coal gas must be removed.
[0003] Methods for removing ammonia from coal gas generally include the process of producing concentrated ammonia water by washing ammonia with water and then steaming ammonia, the process of producing ammonium sulfate by spray saturator, and the process of producing anhydrous ammonia by absorbing ammonia with phosphoric acid.
[0004] The Fursam process uses ammonium phosphate aqueous solution as the absorbent to recover ammonia from coke oven gas. Ammonium phosphate aqueous solution, as an ammonia absorbent, has advantages such as stability, non-deterioration, non-volatility, and no need for periodic replacement or purification. The process flow for producing anhydrous ammonia by absorbing ammonia with ammonium phosphate is as follows: Coke oven gas from the desulfurization tower enters the lower section of the ammonia absorption tower, where it comes into countercurrent contact with the ammonium phosphate solution. More than 95% of the ammonia in the gas is absorbed in the lower section. After entering the middle and upper sections of the ammonia absorption tower, the remaining ammonia is further absorbed. The ammonia-removed gas is discharged from the top of the ammonia absorption tower to the gas final cooler.
[0005] The ammonium phosphate (rich solution) solution, after absorbing ammonia, is pumped to the desorption distillation unit via a lower-stage solution circulation pump. After tar removal by a tar remover, it enters a lean-rich solution heat exchanger for heat exchange, then passes through a separator to remove acid gas before entering the desorption tower for distillation to desorb some of the ammonia from the rich solution. The lean solution after distillation is returned to the ammonia absorption tower; the produced concentrated ammonia water enters the distillation tower for further distillation and purification, ultimately producing liquid ammonia with a purity ≥99.6%.
[0006] Before desorption, the rich liquor needs to undergo tar removal, heat exchange with the lean liquor, and deacidification treatment. Then, it is sent to the top of the desorption tower via a rich liquor pressurization pump. The desorption tower is operated at a pressure of ~1.3MPa, and direct steam at ~1.6MPa is introduced into the bottom of the tower. The lean liquor at the bottom of the tower is returned to the top of the absorption tower for recycling after passing through a lean-rich liquor heat exchanger and a lean liquor cooler. Ammonia vapor escaping from the top of the desorption tower is condensed and cooled to its boiling point temperature to form ammonia water, which is then directly fed into the distillation feed tank. To further remove acidic gases from the ammonia water, a 30% NaOH solution is continuously fed into the distillation feed tank using a liquid alkali metering pump. Concentrated ammonia water is sent to the middle of the distillation tower by the distillation tower feed pump. Ammonia vapor with a purity of not less than 99.8% is distilled off from the top of the distillation tower and cooled to ~39.9℃ by the distillation tower condenser. The liquid ammonia then enters the reflux tank, where it is pressurized by the distillation tower reflux pump. Part of the liquid ammonia is used as top reflux, and the other part is sent as product to the liquid ammonia storage tank in the oil depot unit. The product is used for denitrification of flue gas in power plants and coke ovens.
[0007] Liquid ammonia in the oil depot unit is temporarily stored in storage tanks and transported to various users by tank trucks. After loading of liquid ammonia into the tank trucks, the residual liquid ammonia in the vapor phase pipe is placed into the ammonia scrubber. At this time, the spray device automatically starts to dilute the ammonia gas into ammonia water, which flows into the ammonia water tank by gravity. When there is a liquid level in the ammonia water tank, it is discharged into the benzene separation water underground tank through the vent pipe. Based on the liquid level in the benzene separation water underground tank, after contacting the blower operation control station, the external pump of the benzene separation water underground tank is started to send the ammonia water to the tar ammonia water separation tank.
[0008] The collection, washing, and purification device for residual liquid ammonia in the vapor phase pipe after loading into the oil depot area is a key environmental protection equipment. Existing scrubbers have problems such as low absorption efficiency, incomplete ammonia collection and absorption, and ammonia leakage that pollutes the environment. Utility Model Content
