Description

Adopt fiver-tower heat integration apparatus to carry out the process method of methanol rectification
Technical field
The present invention relates to the rectification process of methyl alcohol, particularly a kind of process method that adopts fiver-tower heat integration apparatus to carry out methanol rectification, it is from thick methyl alcohol, to pass through the energy-saving process method that rectifying is produced methyl alcohol.
Background technology
Methyl alcohol is a kind of important Organic Chemicals and novel energy fuel, has purposes widely in chemical industry, light industry and clean energy field.In the synthesizing methanol commercial process, the energy consumption of the treating process of thick methyl alcohol is one of key factor that influences the methanol production cost.Serious day by day along with problems such as in short supply, the environmental pollution of oil, coal, Sweet natural gas equal energy source resource and Greenhouse effect, energy-conservation, the key that consumption reduction has become Business survival and enhanced competitiveness of industries such as methyl alcohol more and more receive the attention of each side.
Fig. 1 is a kind of four towers (three towers add a tower) methanol rectification process method that extensively adopts at present, promptly adopts three towers such as preparatory tower T101, pressurizing tower T102, atmospheric tower T103 to increase a regenerating column T104 again, production GB premium grads or U.S. mark AA level methanol product.Remove light constituent by preparatory column overhead, the thick methyl alcohol 10 of prognosis obtains methanol product respectively in pressurizing tower cat head discharging 24 and atmospheric tower cat head discharging 14 after pressurizing tower and atmospheric tower rectifying, and the atmospheric tower side line is extracted fusel 42 out.Pressurizing tower cat head material gas phase 21 is given the heating of normal pressure Tata still.Atmospheric tower side line fusel 42 advances regenerating column with normal pressure tower bottoms 15, obtains reclaiming methanol product 29 by the regenerating column cat head, and the regenerating column side line is extracted potato spirit 30 out, reclaims Tata still waste discharge 33.Though this method technology maturation, production energy consumption is higher, and along with unit scale increases day by day, it is comparatively huge that its equipment scale seems.Construction, economic stability operation to the methyl alcohol product installation that maximizes day by day are unfavorable.
The process method that Chinese patent CN 200610014321.2 discloses a kind of " rectification process of high purity methanol and preparation "; Chinese patent CN 200610013269.9 discloses a kind of " double effect rectification for methanol energy-saving and water-saving system and technology "; Both core contents all are on the basis of the four tower rectifyinges that extensively adopt at present; Utilize the heat exchange of the lime set heat or the internal system cold and hot liquids of heating steam, reach purpose of energy saving.Sensible heat transfer between the obvious this material, the operation energy consumption for reducing whole rectifying system acts on very limited.
Chinese patent CN 200710067196.6 discloses " a kind of have the integrated method of refining synthetic methanol of heat "; It is characterized in that: on the basis of the four tower rectifyinges that extensively adopt at present; The pressurizing tower overhead vapours is divided into two strands, heat is provided for respectively preparatory tower and atmospheric tower.Relative Chinese patent CN 200610014321.2 and CN 200610013269.9, this process method has higher energy-saving effect.But because preparatory column overhead output methanol product not in the system, pressurizing tower is that the energy that preparatory tower provides belongs to single-action methanol rectification process.Pressurizing tower, atmospheric tower cat head output methanol product all in the system, only pressurizing tower is that the energy that atmospheric tower provides belongs to economic benefits and social benefits methanol rectification process, therefore, though this process method has certain improvement energy-saving effect, energy-saving effect is unsatisfactory.
Chinese patent CN 200710146369.3 discloses " a kind of pressure-reducing flow-reversing dual-purpose distillation method of refining crude methanol and equipment "; It is optimized the pressurizing tower in the four tower rectifyinges that extensively adopt at present and the operational condition and the rectifying order of atmospheric tower; The preparatory tower of process removes the thick methyl alcohol behind the light constituent; Be introduced into the rectification under vacuum tower, the rectification under vacuum tower bottoms gets into little compression rectification tower again, by the cat head acquisition methanol product of two towers.Little compression rectification column overhead gas phase is given the heating of rectification under vacuum Tata still reboiler.Though the rectification under vacuum tower is favourable for raising separation system relative volatility, the higher methanol product purity of acquisition.But because the methyl alcohol boiling point is lower, decompression operation can cause tower top temperature very low, and the overhead condenser heat transfer temperature difference significantly reduces, and not only the condensing surface area is huge, simultaneously because vacuum system possibly cause the loss of methyl alcohol to strengthen.As everyone knows, this decompression operation process will inevitably cause enlarging markedly of corresponding tower scale.For the methanol device that maximizes day by day at present, this technology can cause the very huge of tower and heat-exchange equipment scale.The essence of this technology still belongs to the double-effect rectification process of traditional three-tower rectification, therefore fails obtaining substantive breakthroughs aspect further cutting down the consumption of energy.Its operation energy consumption disregards preparatory tower and regenerating column just reaches 0.916 ton of steam/ton methanol product, if count preparatory tower and regenerating column energy consumption, operation energy consumption will be greater than 1 ton of steam/ton methanol product.
