Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical separation processes, and particularly relates to a thermal coupling methanol rectification method of a side line and bulkhead recovery tower.
Background
Rectification is an important unit operation directly affecting product quality, accounts for about 90% -95% of the separation process of the whole device, can consume 3% of energy in the whole world and 40% of energy in the whole chemical industry, and is a typical energy-intensive process. The reduction of the energy consumption in the rectification process has important significance for optimizing the energy structure of the whole chemical industry.
Rectification heat integration is one of the main means for improving the energy utilization rate, and the basic idea is to exchange heat of cold and hot streams in the process to recover heat. Such as multi-effect distillation, the energy levels between different columns can be varied by controlling the operating pressures of the different columns. Because the boiling point of the material flow can be raised along with the raising of the pressure, the separated overhead steam can supply heat to the reboiler of the lower pressure tower, and the purposes of steam condensation and liquid vaporization in the reboiler are realized. Compared with the common rectifying sequence, the middle rectifying device can not supply heat and cool additionally except for the rectifying towers at the two ends.
Besides the research on the process, a method for energy conservation and emission reduction of equipment, such as application of a dividing wall tower, is also developed. The vertical partition plate is arranged in the rectifying tower, so that the mass transfer and heat transfer processes in the rectifying tower are realized on the premise of setting a material flow distribution method. The partition wall tower combines two rectifying towers together, so that the investment of the rectifying towers can be reduced, and the investment of a reboiler and a condenser can be saved. In addition, the dividing wall tower can effectively avoid the back mixing effect of the intermediate components, so that the energy consumption is further saved.
The currently commonly used methanol synthesis method takes coal as a source, and finally obtains a methanol product through gasification, low-temperature methanol washing, gas separation and methanol refining units. The methanol rectification unit is used as a core unit for methanol refining, and the reduction of the process energy consumption is of great significance for optimizing the whole methanol manufacturing process. The traditional three-tower process for separating the methanol has the advantages of convenient operation and short process. The process uses a pre-tower, a pressurizing tower and an atmospheric tower to separate methanol, the pre-tower separates methanol oil and light component gas, the pressurizing tower and the atmospheric tower simultaneously separate refined methanol at the top of the tower, and the side line and the bottom of the atmospheric tower respectively separate fusel oil and wastewater.
After long-term use and research, the three-tower process has steam consumption of 1.1-1.2 tons/methanol even if an advanced heat integration method is adopted. The traditional three-tower flow methanol rectification process has high energy consumption, the product can hardly meet the product quality requirement of the current downstream products on the raw materials, and the recovery rate of the methanol gradually tends to be the limit. Based on this, there is a need to develop new energy-saving methods to optimize the methanol rectification process.
