Description

Quality control method of dividing wall rectifying tower
Technical Field
The invention relates to a quality control method of a dividing wall rectifying tower, which can be used in the industrial production of the dividing wall rectifying tower.
Background
Rectification is the most mature and widely applied separation technology in petrochemical production, but the energy consumption in the rectification process is huge, and it is estimated that 40-70% of the energy consumption in the chemical process is used for separation, and the rectification energy consumption accounts for 95% of the energy consumption. In order to reduce the energy consumption in the rectification process, researchers at home and abroad carry out extensive research, and the dividing wall rectification tower is widely concerned as a typical rectification energy-saving device or a process strengthening energy-saving technology.
The dividing wall rectifying tower is characterized in that one or more vertical partition plates with certain length or partition plates with inclined angles are arranged in one rectifying tower, and a set of vaporization and condensation system is adopted to simultaneously separate three or more products. Because only one set of vaporization and condensation system is provided and the remixing of the intermediate components is avoided when multi-tower rectification is adopted, the investment is saved by 20-30% and the energy consumption is reduced by 20-40% in the dividing wall rectification technology compared with the traditional rectification technology.
Actually, in 1930, Eeic w.lustrer (US1915681) proposed the concept of the dividing wall rectifying tower for the separation of cracked gas, but the first dividing wall rectifying tower (BASF) was not put into industrial production until 1985, and only 200 or more dividing wall rectifying towers were used in industrial application, so far, and it was difficult to widely popularize, and the fundamental reason among them is that the dividing wall rectifying tower has a great difficulty in operation and control, besides the lack of reliable structural design, which is a crucial point that is not neglected.
Taking the most common dividing wall rectifying tower for three-component separation as an example, the partition is arranged along the axial direction of the tower, and the dividing wall rectifying tower is divided into a public rectifying section above the partition, a public stripping section below the partition and a dividing wall section where the partition is located, wherein the dividing wall section is divided into a feeding side and a product side according to different feeding and intermediate component extraction. Therefore, compared with the conventional rectifying tower, the dividing wall rectifying tower has more freedom degrees due to the structural particularity, and besides the same process parameters as the conventional rectifying tower, such as operating pressure, cold and heat load, reflux ratio, product extraction amount and the like, the dividing wall rectifying tower also comprises the extraction of a side product and the distribution of gas phase and liquid phase at two sides of the clapboard, moreover, the high coupling among the above process parameters, the change of any one of them will bring direct influence on the operation of other parameters, for example, the change of the amount of the overhead reflux liquid not only affects the quality of the overhead product, but also directly changes the total amount of the bottom distillate liquid of the public rectification section, under the condition of fixing the liquid phase distribution ratio at two sides, the liquid distribution amounts at two sides of the partition plate are directly influenced, and the pre-separation effect at the feed side of the partition wall section and the lateral line product quality at the product side are directly influenced by the change of the liquid distribution amounts at two sides; if the amount of liquid distributed on the two sides is fixed, the change of the amount of reflux liquid on the top of the tower directly destroys the material balance in the tower and affects the processes of mass transfer, heat transfer and gas-liquid balance, so the high coupling and chain reaction among the process parameters in the dividing wall rectifying tower can obviously affect the product quality and stable operation control of the dividing wall rectifying tower, which is the direct reason that the dividing wall rectifying tower is difficult to realize stable control, and is a research key point and difficulty in the development process of the dividing wall rectifying tower.
At present, the Operation and quality control of the dividing wall rectifying tower are disclosed in less patent publications, CN102631791A discloses a control method of the dividing wall rectifying tower, which is mainly to add a control loop on the basis of three-point control method (Operation integrated route-product (petlyuk) distillation columns, e.a.wolff, s.skogestad, ind.eng.chem.res.,1995,34(6): 2094-2103) of e.a.wolff, et al, i.e. to increase the control of the heavy component content in the ascending gas phase at the top of the feeding side by adjusting the liquid phase distribution at both sides of the dividing wall rectifying tower. Although the product quality is correspondingly controlled, the discharge amount of products at the top of the tower and the bottom of the tower are not controlled, the yield of each product including a side product cannot be ensured, and meanwhile, the liquid levels of a plurality of areas in the tower, such as a tower top reflux area, a public rectification section bottom liquid collection and distribution area and a tower bottom area are not controlled, so that the material balance and stable control of the dividing wall rectification tower are difficult to ensure.
Obviously, the control method in the prior art cannot ensure the product quality and the product yield at the same time, and cannot realize stable operation, so that a more effective quality control method needs to be developed to comprehensively control a plurality of process parameters or operation variables of the dividing wall rectifying tower, realize the stable operation of the dividing wall rectifying tower, and simultaneously ensure the quality and the yield of each product.

In addition, because the reflux and the extraction at the top of the tower are correspondingly controlled, the liquid level of the reflux tank at the top of the tower is stable, the stable operation of the reflux and the extraction areas at the top of the tower is equal to that of the reflux and the extraction areas at the top of the tower, and the material balance of light components in the dividing-wall rectifying tower is ensured.
In the technical scheme, 2 temperature controllers are arranged in the liquid collecting and distributing control area, one temperature controller controls the temperature of a sensitive plate at the feeding side of a bulkhead section of the bulkhead rectifying tower, and the liquid distributing amount at the feeding side is automatically adjusted according to the temperature of the sensitive plate; the other temperature controller controls the temperature of a sensitive plate at the product side of the dividing wall section of the dividing wall rectifying tower, the liquid distribution amount at the product side is automatically adjusted according to the temperature of the sensitive plate, and the temperature of the sensitive plate at the product side of the dividing wall section directly influences the quality of a lateral line product, so that the temperature of the product side is controlled, and the quality of the lateral line product is ensured.

Comparative example 1
The same dividing wall column and the same composition of the raw material as in example 1 were used to carry out the separation in accordance with the control method shown in FIG. 2, and the control results are shown in Table 2. It can be seen that, under the control method, in order to ensure that the product purity of the benzene and the toluene is not less than 99.9%, the purity and the yield of the mixed xylene in the tower bottom are difficult to ensure and are only 99.78%, and meanwhile, the stabilization time of the whole tower is longer and exceeds 10 hr; if the heat load of the reboiler of the tower kettle is further increased, the purity of the mixed xylene in the tower kettle can be improved to 99.9, but the pressure difference below the public stripping section and the partition plate is obviously increased at the moment and is increased from 0.5KPa to 3KPa, so that the stable operation of the dividing wall rectifying tower is damaged.
Comparative example 2
The same dividing wall column and the same composition of the raw material as in example 1 were used to conduct the separation in accordance with the control method shown in FIG. 3, and the control results are shown in Table 2. It can be seen that under the control method, the purity of benzene and toluene products is obviously lower, especially benzene, because only the temperature of the tower plate at the top of the product side and the liquid phase distribution at the two sides of the partition wall section are controlled, the content of impurity benzene and xylene in the side line products can be effectively controlled, namely the product quality of the side line toluene is controlled, but the product quality of the tower top benzene and the tower bottom xylene cannot be ensured; meanwhile, in the control scheme, because the evaporation capacity or the gas-liquid flow in the tower is not correspondingly controlled, the product yield cannot be effectively controlled, for example, the yield of mixed xylene in the tower kettle is obviously lower, and the stabilization time of the dividing wall rectifying tower is relatively longer.
