Description

Method and apparatus for capturing acid gases in gas mixtures using solvent absorption
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of gas separation, in particular to a method and equipment for trapping acid gas in a gas mixture by using a solvent absorption method.
Background
Carbon dioxide (CO)2) The emission of greenhouse gases is a main factor causing climate change, and how to enrich CO2Low energy consumption and low cost CO capture or separation in gas mixtures or liquefied gases2It is very important. These mixtures include flue gases, refinery gases, natural gases, liquefied gases, synthesis gases, shift gases, and hydrogen production, among others. The gas mixture contains 5-50% of CO2Other acid gases include SO2、H2S and organic sulfur CH3S, COS, etc., other gases consisting of N2、O2、Ar、CO、H2、CH4、C2H6. The pressure variation range of the gas is large (0.5-90 bar), and the method is suitable for capturing and separating CO by adopting a chemical absorption method, a physical absorption method or a chemical and physical composite absorption method2And the like acid gas components.
At present, the industrial mature capture and separation of CO at home and abroad2The solvent of acidic gas is mainly chemical absorption solvent such as organic amine and inorganic salt, and physical absorption solvent such as alcohols, esters, ethers, etc. Organic amine solvents such as a monoethanolamine Method (MEA), a diethanolamine method (DEA), a 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), a diisopropanolamine method (DIPA) and a methyldiethanolamine Method (MDEA) are mainly suitable for trapping and separating acid gases in medium and low pressure gases. And physical solvents such as methanol, propylene carbonate, polyether alcohol and the like are mainly suitable for separating high-concentration acid gas in a high-pressure system. In order to improve the absorption solution to acidic gas CO2The solvent with higher absorption speed, such as MEA and Piperazine (PZ), is added into the solvent with lower absorption speed to form a mixed solvent with high absorption solubility and high absorption speed, so that the energy consumption and the cost for the capture and separation of the acid gas can be greatly reduced.
In addition to the absorption solvent, the process flow of the absorption process is also CO reduction2And the key of energy consumption and cost for capturing and separating the acid gas. The conventional absorption process flow comprises raw material gas pretreatment, absorption, purified gas cooling and gas-liquid separation, barren solution and rich solution heat exchange, heating desorption, regenerated gas cooling and separation, barren solution cooling and the like. The following process flow is improved on the basis of the conventional process flow, so that the energy consumption for trapping and separating is reduced to different degrees.
Cooling inside the absorber is an improved Process which has been extensively studied in numerous documents (Woertz, b.b.,1966.Process for removing acidic compositions from gas sources laboratories. patent No. us 3266220a1, Union Oil Co.). The absorption tower is internally cooled, namely, a part or all of liquid phase materials are taken out from the middle of the absorption tower, the taken-out liquid phase is cooled by heat exchange equipment, and the cooled material flow is sent back to the absorption tower. It is also possible to use a cooling device directly in the middle of the absorption column. Due to CO2When the absorption process of the acidic gas is exothermic, the temperature rise in the absorption tower is not beneficial to absorption in the absorption process, and the CO content of the solvent is reduced2The absorption effect of (2) increases the circulation amount of the solvent, and then increases the energy consumption of the reboiler of the desorption tower. The solution in the middle of the absorption tower is obtained by improving the cold flow in the absorption towerThe temperature of the agent is reduced, and the absorption of CO by the solvent is improved2The solvent circulation amount is finally reduced, and the energy consumption of the reboiler is reduced. Aiming at different solvents, the energy consumption of the reboiler can be reduced by 3-7%.
The study of the process of splitting rich liquid dates back to Eisenberg and Johnson at the earliest (Eisenberg and Johnson,1979.Amine regeneration Process. patent No. US 4152217A1, Exxon Research and Engineering Company.). The simple improved process is to divide the rich liquid taken out from the bottom of the absorption tower into two parts, wherein one part is not heated by a heat exchanger and is directly injected into the top of the desorption tower, and the other part enters the part below the top of the desorption tower after being heated by the heat exchanger. By applying the improved flow of rich liquid flow division, the energy consumption of the reboiler of the desorption tower can be obviously reduced. The unheated cold rich liquid enters from the top of the desorption tower and meets high-temperature gas phase (the main component is gaseous H) at the top of the desorption tower2O and CO2) Then absorbing the heat of the high-temperature gas phase and releasing CO2While part of the steam in the high-temperature gas phase is cooled and liquefied, CO2The discharge from the top of the column is continued. The temperature of the gas phase extracted from the top of the tower is lower, the heat taken away by the gas phase is reduced, and the energy consumption of the reboiler is reduced. Meanwhile, the other cold rich liquid can be heated to a higher temperature when passing through the heat exchanger due to the reduction of the amount, so that CO2 is released in the desorption tower more easily, and the energy consumption required by the reboiler is reduced. Aiming at different solvents, the energy consumption of the reboiler can be reduced by 8-15% by adopting a process flow of rich liquid shunting.
Another similar method of utilizing the heat of the stripping gas is the heat exchange between the rich and desorbed gases (Herrin,1989.Process sequencing for amine regeneration. patent No. us 4798910a1.) which is based on the same principle as the split stream of the rich liquid, but with no mass exchange between the rich and desorbed gases, only heat exchange.
The semi-barren liquor diversion technique, which may also be referred to as solution diversion, was first proposed by Shoeld (Shoeld,1934.Purification and separation of gases mixtures. patent No. US 1971798, The Koppers Co.). The absorption column and the desorption column are both divided into upper and lower portions, and the liquid absorbing more gas in the lower portion of the absorption is desorbed in the upper portion of the desorption column, and the solution absorbing less gas in the upper portion of the absorption column is desorbed in the lower portion of the desorption column. Another Improved process, in the case of a single absorber and a single desorber, takes a portion of the solution in the middle of the desorber, after heat exchange and cooling, is sent to the middle of the absorber (Reddy, et al, 2004.Improved split flow process and apparatus. patent No. wo 2004005818a2, Fluor Corporation.). The technology utilizes the advantage of low CO2 desorption heat in high-load solution, and can save energy by about 7-10%.
Lean flash compression is one of the most widely improved processes being studied (Benson and McRea,1979.Removal of acid gases from hot gases mixtures. patent No. US4160810A1, Benfield Corporation.) (Reddy et al, 2007.Integrated compressor/rectifier configurations and methods. patent No. WO2007075466A2, Fluor Technologies Corporation). The hot barren solution extracted from the bottom of the desorption tower is firstly introduced into a low-pressure flash tank for flash evaporation, the gas phase obtained by flash evaporation is compressed by a compressor and then introduced into the position above the bottom of the desorption tower, and the liquid phase obtained by flash evaporation is still subjected to heat exchange and cooling and then enters the absorption tower. The gas phase obtained from the flash tank works through the compressor, can reach higher temperature, and can provide part of heat for the desorption process after being introduced into the desorption tower, so that the heat load of the reboiler of the desorption tower is reduced. Aiming at different solvents, the energy consumption of the reboiler can be reduced by 10-13% by adopting a lean solution flash evaporation compression process flow. Because the compressor is introduced into the flow, the total energy consumption is reduced by 3-5% after the power consumption is considered.
The energy consumption in the trapping and separating process can be further reduced by combining the improvement of the process flow. For example, the energy consumption can be reduced by 10-20% in the total process of cold in the absorption tower, rich liquid diversion, cold in the absorption tower, lean liquid flash compression and the like.
In the aspect of energy integration in other industrial processes such as separation and collection process, coal-fired power generation and the like, the main process flow comprises utilization of flue gas energy, utilization of desorption gas energy and the like.
There are two methods of utilizing the energy of the high-temperature flue gas, one is to utilize the high-temperature flue gas to heat the rich liquor (Bens)on Homer and Mcrea Donald,1979.Removal of acid gases from hot gases mixtures. patent No. US4160810.Benfield Corp.). The other is to heat the middle liquid of the desorption tower by using high-temperature flue gas (TAKASHI et al, 2006, Apparatus and method for CO)2recovery. JP20050047857.Mitsubishi gravity Ind, Kansai Electric Power Co.). However, the flue gas contains sulfur dioxide, and the flue gas forms sulfuric acid after being cooled, so that a high-standard anticorrosive material is required.
In a method of utilizing energy of a desorption gas in a regeneration column of a carbon dioxide capture device, a gas temperature is raised by compression, water is sprayed to generate steam, and then heat is utilized by heat exchange (Woodhouse, 2008.Improved adsorbent regeneration. patent No. wo2008063082, cn101610828a. aker clean carbon As.). The recovered energy can be used for regenerating steam at the bottom of the regeneration tower and heating other material flows.
In the process flow, there are techniques for reducing the trapping energy consumption in the trapping process by the absorption method, and there are also comprehensive utilization of the flue gas heat and the desorbed gas heat. In the absorption method trapping process, high-temperature barren liquor coming out of the bottom of a desorption tower or the bottom of a reboiler of the desorption tower is used for heating rich liquor in a heat exchanger, or steam is firstly flashed out and then subjected to heat exchange in the heat exchanger for cooling, the temperature of the barren liquor is reduced to about 333K, then the barren liquor is cooled to about 313K by cooling water, and then the barren liquor enters an absorption tower for recycling. Before being cooled by cooling water, the temperature of the barren solution is only about 333K, which is not used greatly in other industrial processes such as coal-fired power plants and the like, and only cooling water is used for cooling.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the flue gas G1 enters the absorption tower, and contacts with the lean liquid L4 (cooled by the cooler E5 at this time) entering the top of the absorption tower to absorb CO2The post-rich liquid R1 is output from the bottom of the tower, and part of CO is removed2The temperature of the overhead gas flow is reduced by E3, and then the overhead gas flow is separated by a gas-liquid separator F1, the separated purified gas G2 is output to an absorption tower, and the liquid flows back to the absorption tower. And the rich liquid R1 is heated by a heat exchanger E1 and enters the top of the desorption tower for desorption. A reboiler E2 was provided at the bottom of the desorption column, and the column was heated and reboiled with steam Z1.

The barren solution after heat exchange is combined with L4 or respectively further cooled and then enters an absorption tower for circularly absorbing the dioxideCarbon and other acidic gases. The desorption gas G3 coming out of the top of the desorption tower is cooled by a cooler E4 and then enters a gas-liquid separator F2, the separated gas G4 is discharged, and the liquid flows back to the top of the desorption tower.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the flue gas G1 enters the absorption tower, and contacts with the lean liquid L4 (cooled by the cooler E5 at this time) entering the top of the absorption tower to absorb CO2The post-rich liquid R1 is output from the bottom of the tower, and part of CO is removed2The temperature of the overhead gas flow is reduced by E3, and then the overhead gas flow is separated by a gas-liquid separator F1, the separated purified gas G2 is output to an absorption tower, and the liquid flows back to the absorption tower. And the rich liquid R1 is heated by heat exchangers E1 and E7 and enters the top of the desorption tower for desorption. A reboiler E2 was provided at the bottom of the desorption column, and the column was heated and reboiled with steam Z1. The high-temperature lean liquid L1 flowing out of the bottom of the desorption tower or the bottom of a reboiler of the desorption tower is divided into two streams (L2 and L3) or more after being subjected to heat exchange (carried out in a heat exchanger E7) with a liquid in the absorption process (such as a rich liquid R2), at least one stream L2 is continuously subjected to heat exchange (carried out in a heat exchanger E1) with the liquid in the absorption process (such as a rich liquid R1), and at least one stream L3 is subjected to heat exchange (carried out in a heat exchanger E6) with a cold fluid W1 outside the absorption process.

The invention can also adopt a complex heat exchanger to exchange heat between the cryogenic fluid in other processes and a plurality of streams of barren solution, rich solution and the like. Namely, the high-temperature barren solution can exchange heat with at least one strand of internal liquid in the solvent absorption process and at least one strand of cold fluid outside the solvent absorption process, and the barren solution after heat exchange enters an absorption tower after being cooled for circularly absorbing acid gas. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, flue gas G1 enters an absorption tower, andlean liquid L4 (cooled by cooler E5) entering from the top of the absorption tower is contacted to absorb CO2The post-rich liquid R1 is output from the bottom of the tower, and part of CO is removed2The temperature of the overhead gas flow is reduced by E3, and then the overhead gas flow is separated by a gas-liquid separator F1, the separated purified gas G2 is output to an absorption tower, and the liquid flows back to the absorption tower.

The temperature of the second part of the lean liquid can reach 353-403K, and is equal to the temperature of the lean liquid of the reboiler in the highest case. The temperature is obviously higher than the temperature of the lean solution of about 333K after the heat exchange of the lean and rich solution in the prior art. The specific temperature is, of course, dependent on the flow rates, temperatures, split ratios, heat transfer areas and flow path designs of the lean and rich solutions.
