Be example now, this unitary operating process be described with an adsorption tower 1:
The gas that comes from the acid gas removal unit, at first be divided into two-way through flow control valve: the one tunnel as resurgent gases, and one the tunnel as mainstream gas.Wherein mainstream gas is directly removed drying tower 1b through valve V1, and the siccative that loads among the drying tower 1b gets off the water adsorption in the gas gas, makes gas be able to drying, and gas obtains qualified gas through valve V2, goes heavy hydrocarbon to remove the unit.
Another drying tower 2b is in regenerative process:
The regenerative process of drying tower 2b comprises thermal regeneration and two steps of blast-cold.
In the thermal regeneration process, resurgent gases is successively through valve V11, drying tower 3b, well heater 4b, valve V8, drying tower 2b, valve V6, valve V10, water cooler 6b, water separator 5b, converge with process gas again, enter the drying tower 1b that is in adsorbed state through valve V1, finish heat-processed drying tower 2b.
From the route of gas process as can be seen:
1), resurgent gases returns mainstream gas, do not need external any carrier gas in the thermal regeneration process.
2), when drying tower 2b is heated, regeneration gas cools off drying tower 3b, drying tower 3b internal adsorption agent and material accumulation of heat is taken away entered well heater 4b again, reduces the required energy expenditure of thermal regeneration.
3), resurgent gases entering before the drying tower 2b, super-dry tower 3b is predrying, the moisture content in the resurgent gases seldom, and is fine to the drying effect of drying tower 2b.
In process of cooling, resurgent gases is successively through valve V9, valve V6, drying tower 2b, valve V8, well heater 4b, drying tower 3b, V12, water cooler 6b, water separator 5b, converge with process gas again, enter the drying tower 1b that is in adsorbed state through valve V1, finish process of cooling drying tower 2b.Process of cooling exists too:
1), resurgent gases returns mainstream gas, do not need external any carrier gas in the thermal regeneration process.
2), drying tower 2b is being carried out refrigerative simultaneously, regeneration gas heats drying tower 3b, drying tower 2b internal adsorption agent and material accumulation of heat is taken away entered well heater 4b again, reduces the required energy expenditure of thermal regeneration.
3), resurgent gases entering before the drying tower 3b, super-dry tower 2b is predrying, the moisture content in the resurgent gases seldom, and is fine to the drying effect of drying tower 3b.
Drying tower 2b waits for entering absorption next time through after the above-mentioned heating and cooling process.
The regenerative process of the regenerative process of drying tower 1b and drying tower 2b is just the same, just needs the numbering difference of action valve.
Two drying towers are taken turns flow operations, can reach the ability of continuous processing gas.
Siccative is selected according to the requirement of dehydration precision, can adopt the porous mass stronger to the water adsorptive power, as the combination of one or more sorbent materials in activated alumina, silica gel, the molecular sieve.For methane-rich gas is the drying of the purpose of LNG, and molecular sieve is indispensable sorbent material.
The regeneration Heating temperature is determined according to the combination of dehydration accuracy requirement and sorbent material, is the drying of the purpose of LNG for methane-rich gas, and regeneration temperature is generally between 180~320 ℃.
