A kind of rectifying tower with bulkhead
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of new bulkhead type rectification column.
Background technology
Refinery is energy producing unit while being also energy ezpenditure rich and influential family, and distillation process in refinery's energy consumption in occupation of sizable proportion.
At present, refinery and chemical plant distillation process mainly use traditional tower and carry out the separation of material, and N number of product is obtained in theory then to be needed to build N-1 rectifying column, and corresponding investment and energy consumption are larger.Therefore in order to reduce investment and process energy consumption, it is optimal selection to develop new rectifying device.Wherein, divided wall column is compared to haggle over and can greatly reduce energy consumption, reduce investment in traditional rectifying column, is typical novel energy-conserving rectifying device.
Divided wall column is, in the radial direction vertical partition plate of traditional rectifying column middle setting one, space in tower to be divided into into 4 parts:Dividing plate left side(Feed zone), dividing plate right side(Intermediate products area), dividing plate upside(Public rectifying section)With dividing plate downside(Public stripping section).Rectifying tower with bulkhead(DWC)For multicomponent rectification has big advantage.Due to, without air-teturning mixed phenomenon, than conventional essence tower energy-conservation 20% ~ 50% being presented in DWC, simultaneously because 1 tower and 1 reboiler are reduced, can investment reduction 30% or so.
Rectifying tower with bulkhead is a kind of special shape of complete thermal coupled rectifying tower, two towers are merged into into a tower, the requisite difficulty that increased tower control while investment is reduced, the liquid and gas assignment problem of dividing plate both sides is it is critical only that, it is that divided wall column realizes energy-efficient key that gas-liquid allocation proportion is adjusted.
US2011139604A1 discloses a kind of divided wall column, the tower tower internal partition employs unsymmetric form, with feeding and discharging in tower dividing plate is adjusted as asymmetric point, so that end spaces increases under feed side charging aperture, simultaneously reduce discharge end lower side space, reach the purpose of gas-liquid phase load in compensation tower.The divided wall column only address only the uneven problem of the different interval interior liquid phases in demarcation strip both sides, be not directed to the distribution control problem of liquid gas.
US4230533 discloses a kind of divided wall column gas-liquid flow-dividing control method, and the liquid backflow used in the tower is, with liquid level difference as power, to be adjusted by flowmeter;Bottom of towe uprising gas realizes that distribution is adjusted by way of by-passing, and not interrelated between liquid backflow distribution and gas distribution.The flowing of liquid is simply with liquid level difference motive force in the method, due to being generation that bypass mode inevitably results in vapour lock, therefore is easy to produce the not smooth situation of liquid communication in actual moving process, is unfavorable for the even running of device.

A kind of divided wall column is disclosed, the divided wall column is that demarcation strip is extended to the top or bottom of divided wall column, then flow back respectively to realize the distribution to withdrawing fluid and uprising gas by condenser or reboiler.
CN201110192770.7 discloses a kind of divided wall column, and the tower distributes gentle phase partitioning problem and proposes a kind of new control program for liquid phase in tower, it is intended to solves the gas-liquid distribution control problem of divided wall column, realizes the flexible operating of tower.But it is not enough to there is also some:(1)Gas phase dispensing controller is allocated control to gas using rotary steering demarcation strip, but the rotation of guide plate adopts knob manual rotation mode, need in tower wall perforate during installation, partitioned column sealing property is caused to weaken, easily there is leakage problem in tower tapping in high-voltage operation, and potential safety hazard is carried out to device band while workman's amount of labour is increased;(2)The gas flow monitoring of dividing plate both sides adopts pressure measurement mode, this mode can be used for tower pressure interior force monitoring, but it is then not accurate enough as tower operating parameter, this be because the compressibility of gaseous substance in tower causes, pressure gauge cannot be distinguished by due to gas flow increase cause pressure rise or due in tower liquid flooding cause pressure to rise.Therefore, gas phase distribution ratio is controlled using pressure and there are problems that control parameter is inaccurate, easily cause tower operation fluctuation.
Being introduced into the air-liquid distribution apparatus and column plate that cause to be widely used at present in common rectifying tower the requirement of dividing wall column can not be met in version and mass transfer effect due to dividing plate;Divided wall column requires tower internals higher than conventional tower.In existing bulkhead type rectification column, because therefore the excessive demand of tower plate structure needs to carry out column plate particular design, most divided wall column uses structured packing and carries out gas-liquid mass transfer.There are two key problem in technology in material filling type divided wall column, one is gas-liquid distribution control problem in tower, and two is the dispersion after liquid phase is allocated in dividing plate both sides and wall flow problem.
