Detailed Description
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the conventional natural gas hydrogen production process includes the following steps.
Desulfurizing: preheating raw natural gas to about 300-400 ℃ and then carrying out desulfurization treatment. The raw natural gas in this example is methane-based natural gas, contains various impurities, and generally contains trace amounts of sulfur. The purpose of desulfurization is to avoid poisoning of the catalyst in later steps, and the conversion catalyst is extremely susceptible to poisoning and loss of activity during use, and strict requirements are placed on the impurity content in the raw material, particularly the sulfur content. Since natural gas contains a trace amount of sulfur, it is necessary to first desulfurize natural gas.
The conversion step: the conversion process is carried out in a reformer. The common reformer comprises a convection section and a radiation section, and the natural gas and steam mixture after desulfurization treatment is preheated to about 500-600 ℃ in the convection section of the reformer and then enters the radiation section of the reformer for conversion reaction. The heat required for the reformer is provided by a fuel gas comprising raw natural gas. The conversion reaction comprises, under the action of a catalyst, preferably metallic nickel:
CH4+H2O=CO+3H2,
CO+3H2=CH4+H2O,
CO+H2O=CO2+H2,
the generated conversion gas mainly comprises hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor.
It should be noted that the preheating of the raw natural gas mentioned in the desulfurization step is also performed in one of the convection sections of the reformer. The temperature of the flue gas generated by combustion heating in the reformer is 800-900 ℃.
A transformation step: the high temperature converted gas (generally between 750 and 850 ℃) is subjected to heat exchange by a converted gas steam generator (waste heat boiler), then the temperature is reduced, the converted gas enters a conversion process, and the medium temperature conversion temperature is 330 to 360 ℃. The shift reaction is carried out under the action of a catalyst Fe2O3.Cr2O3: co+h2o=co2+h2. The CO content in the gas is reduced to below 2% through medium temperature shift reaction, and meanwhile, the hydrogen is continuously produced. The medium-shift gas is cooled and split by a cooler after part of waste heat is recovered by heat exchange, and then enters the PSA part.
And (3) purification: a PSA purification process is employed. Specifically, the medium-temperature gas after cooling and water separation enters a PSA unit to adsorb and remove other impurities (CH 4, CO2, H2O and the like) except hydrogen, so that the product hydrogen is purified, and the impurity is desorbed and then sent to a reformer to be used as fuel gas.
It should be further noted that in the above process flow of producing hydrogen from natural gas, after heat exchange with the mixture of natural gas and natural gas steam, a great amount of waste heat remains, and in the general flow, the heat-enriched flue gas further passes through a waste heat boiler (for heat exchange with boiler water supply) and an air heat exchange device (for heat exchange with air) in sequence, and is then discharged from a chimney.
Based on the background description of the natural gas hydrogen production process, the invention provides integrated heat exchange equipment, which combines various mediums such as raw material natural gas, natural gas steam mixed gas, converted gas, flue gas, boiler water supply and the like for heat exchange, and different mediums pass through different heat exchange channels to finally achieve respective heat exchange purposes.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 2A, fig. 2B and fig. 2C together.
The integrated heat exchange device comprises a first heat exchange part and a second heat exchange part which are integrally manufactured. Wherein the first heat exchange part comprises a flue gas cylinder 212, a raw natural gas coil 214 and a natural gas steam mixed gas coil 216; the second heat exchange section includes a reformed gas tube bundle 224, a first flue gas tube bundle 226, and a boiler feedwater housing 222; the first flue gas tube bundle 226 is connected in series with the outlet of the flue gas cylinder 212.
The heat exchange process of the integrated heat exchange device is as follows.
The flue gas from the reformer is passed through flue gas drum 212 and exchanges heat with the raw natural gas in raw natural gas coil 214 and the natural gas vapor mixture in natural gas vapor mixture coil 216. Wherein the raw natural gas absorbs the heat of the flue gas to enter the desulfurization step, and the natural gas steam mixture absorbs the heat of the flue gas to enter the conversion step.
The flue gas in the flue gas cylinder 212 enters a first flue gas tube bundle 226 of the second heat exchange part after passing through the heat exchange process of the first heat exchange part; the boiler feed water in the boiler feed water housing 222 exchanges heat with the flue gas in the first flue gas bundle 226 and the reformed gas in the reformed gas bundle 224, and a portion of the steam generated during the heat exchange process may be used to form a natural gas steam mixture with the sweetened natural gas as a reaction gas in the reformer.
In the second heat exchange part, boiler feed water exchanges heat with flue gas passing through the first flue gas tube bundle and conversion gas passing through the conversion gas tube bundle, compared with the traditional heat exchange design scheme, the reuse rate of waste heat boiler equipment and boiler feed water resources is improved, the number of heat exchange equipment of the whole system is further reduced, the heat exchange pipeline layout is optimized, and the occupied area and the running cost of the whole system are reduced.
Because the heat exchange temperature of the natural gas vapor mixture is higher than that of the raw material natural gas, preferably, the natural gas vapor mixture coil 216 is embedded between the inlet of the flue gas cylinder 212 and the raw material natural gas coil 214, so that the natural gas vapor mixture exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas output by the reformer preferentially, thereby more reasonably utilizing the heat of the flue gas and reducing the energy loss of the system.
Preferably, the inner wall of the flue gas drum 212 is provided with a thermal insulation layer 218, such as a silicate material layer having a thickness of 50-100 mm, to allow the high temperature flue gas to exchange heat only with the raw natural gas and natural gas steam mixture, the heat exchange temperature being unaffected by the relatively low temperature water in the boiler feedwater housing 222.
Preferably, a plurality of baffles (not shown) are arranged in the flue gas cylinder 212 along the length direction of the cylinder so as to increase the residence time of the flue gas in the cylinder and reduce the length of the flue gas cylinder 212, thereby reducing the occupied area of the whole heat exchange equipment. The baffle plates are stainless steel annular baffle plates with high temperature resistance.
Because the temperature of the flue gas in the whole system is higher, the initial temperature is 800-900 ℃, and the temperature before entering the air for heat exchange after boiler water supply heat exchange generally needs to reach about 250 ℃; preferably, in order to control the length of the first flue gas tube bundle 226 to reduce the occupied area of the whole integrated heat exchange device, a second flue gas tube bundle 228 is additionally arranged, wherein the second flue gas tube bundle 228 is positioned on the upper side of the first flue gas tube bundle 226, and flue gas output by the first flue gas tube bundle 226 enters the second flue gas tube bundle 228 to exchange heat with boiler feedwater after passing through a flue gas hood 232.
Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that, without being limited to the disclosure of the present embodiment, the second flue gas tube bundle 228 may also be disposed below the first flue gas tube bundle 226, and may be flexibly designed according to the specific construction environment.
According to the examples of the present disclosure, the conversion gas tube bundles 224 are disposed on the rear sides of the first and second flue gas tube bundles 226 and 228, and those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the conversion gas tube bundles 224 may also be disposed on the front sides of the first and second flue gas tube bundles 226 and 228, and may be flexibly designed according to the specific construction environment.
In particular, the layout of the reforming gas tube bundle 224, the first flue gas tube bundle 226 and the second flue gas tube bundle 228 is considered to be compatible with the cylindrical boiler feedwater housing, so that the volume or footprint of the integrated heat exchange apparatus is minimized.
By the mode, a plurality of discrete heat exchange devices in the natural gas hydrogen production process are highly integrated, so that the equipment investment is saved, the heat exchange efficiency of the system is improved, and the heat loss and the energy consumption of the device are reduced.
