The invention discloses a
system and method for recycling high-temperature condensate from
ethylene glycol synthesis, comprising the following steps: S1, dividing the steam condensate generated by the
ethylene glycol synthesis system into two parts, one part preheating the
dimethyl oxalate from the
dimethyl oxalate buffer tank to a first temperature, and the other part preheating the boiler feed water to a second temperature; S2, transporting the steam condensate after preheating the
dimethyl oxalate and the boiler feed water to the condensate main
pipe. In the present invention, the steam condensate generated by synthesizing
ethylene glycol is used to preheat the dimethyl
oxalate and the boiler feed water, which, on the one hand, reduces the use of high-grade steam when 3.5MpaG steam is used to preheat the dimethyl
oxalate and the boiler feed water in the prior art, increases the amount of byproducts of 0.8MPa steam, and achieves the purpose of recovering high-grade
latent heat from low-grade
sensible heat; on the other hand, the heat of the steam condensate is recovered in the form of material heat exchange, and the temperature of the condensate can be finally reduced, and all the heat is recovered, which is superior to the market ORC and condensate
refrigeration technology, and has low investment costs and high investment returns.
