Description

Side-line and bulkhead pre-rectifying tower heat trap multi-effect methanol rectifying method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical separation processes, and particularly relates to a multi-effect methanol rectification method of a heat trap of a lateral line and bulkhead pre-rectifying tower.
Background
The methanol is the simplest saturated monohydric alcohol, has wide application, can be used for producing pesticides, sulfonamides and the like in the fields of pesticides and medicines, and can also be used as a raw material for producing formaldehyde to be used as a binding agent for wood processing. 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, the energy consumption of the methanol rectification unit can account for 20% of the whole process flow, and the separation of target products and impurities is realized by inputting a large amount of energy, so that the methanol rectification unit 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 process. The traditional methanol separation process is a three-tower process, and the process has the characteristics of short process, convenience in start-up and the like. 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.
The partition wall tower is characterized in that a vertical partition wall is arranged in a rectifying tower, and the material flow in the tower is distributed according to the arrangement mode of the partition wall, so that the mass transfer and heat transfer processes are realized in one rectifying tower. 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, energy can be utilized in the partition wall tower, so that energy consumption is further saved.
The multi-effect rectification is to change the energy levels of different towers in a mode of gradually reducing the pressure of a plurality of towers. The former rectifying tower has high pressure and relatively high operation temperature, and the separated tower top steam can supply heat to the reboiler of the next low pressure tower to realize the purposes of steam condensation and liquid vaporization in the reboiler. Thus, the middle rectifying device can not be additionally provided with heat and cooling except for the rectifying towers at the two ends. After long-term use and research, the three-tower process develops double-effect rectification and other process methods based on feed division heat integration, light component division forward heat integration and light component division reverse heat integration. However, even if double-effect rectification is adopted, the steam consumption is 1.1 to 1.2 tons/methanol. The current production needs to continuously reduce the energy consumption of the methanol rectification process and improve the product quality. The traditional three-tower flow methanol rectification process has high energy consumption, the product can not meet the production requirement easily, the energy consumption can not be reduced well after the full development is achieved, and the recovery rate of the product gradually tends to the limit. Based on this, it is important to develop a new energy saving method.
