This invention provides a method and
system for removing waxy substances from the washing water of
product gas in an MTO (
Methanol-to-Olefins) unit, belonging to the field of
methanol-to-olefins technology. The method includes: introducing
product gas into a separation
tower for countercurrent contact with washing water; introducing the washing water from the middle and bottom sections of the separation
tower into a first membrane extraction separator and a second membrane extraction separator, respectively, for membrane extraction with an extractant; after extraction, part of the washing water is discharged, and the remaining heat is recovered and returned to the separation
tower; the extractant is regenerated in a
solvent regeneration tower and recycled. The membrane extraction separator integrates impinging flow mixing, ultrasonic-enhanced
mass transfer, and inorganic membrane extraction functions. The extractant is a mixture of aromatic esters, nitro aromatic compounds, and phenyl
cyclic ketone compounds, or a mixture of pyridyl
ionic liquid and phenyl
cyclic ketone compounds. This invention can efficiently remove waxy substances from the washing water, reduce extractant loss and COD, and the extractant is easily regenerated, ensuring long-term stable operation of the unit.
