Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren gemäß dem OberbegriffThe invention relates to a method according to the preamble
von Patentanspruch 1.of claim 1.
Es ist bekannt, Gasgemische zu reinigen oder zu trennen und sich dabei der zyklischen Druckwechseladsorptionstechnik an Adsorptionsmitteln zu bedienen. Diese Prozesse lassen sich wirtschaftlich in einem Temperaturbereich von etwa -20 bis +400C betreiben, weil in diesem Temperaturbereich das beste Verhältnis zwischen Adsorptionskapazität und Selektivität vorliegt.It is known to purify or separate gas mixtures and thereby to use the cyclic pressure swing adsorption technology on adsorbents. These processes can be carried out economically in a temperature range of around -20 operate up to + 400C because in this temperature range the best ratio between Adsorption capacity and selectivity is present.
Weicht die mittlere Arbeitstemperatur von dem genannten Temperaturbereich ab oder liegt sie in den Grenzzonen, so sind größere Adsorptionsmittelmengen erforderlich.Does the mean working temperature deviate from the stated temperature range or if it is in the border zones, larger amounts of adsorbent are required.
Demnach ist der Energiebedarf aller Anlagen, die nicht auf der optimalen Temperatur arbeiten, beträchtlich, was z. B.Accordingly, the energy requirements of all systems that are not at the optimum Temperature work, considerably, what z. B.
auch schon bei den teilweise hohen Temperaturunterschieden zwischen den Tag- und den Nachtstunden zum Tragen kommt, und erst recht im Falle von Gasreinigungen in extremen Klimazonen, wie etwa bei ca. 609C in tropischen und -80°C in arktischen Regionen.even with the sometimes high temperature differences between the day and night comes into play, and especially in the case of gas cleaning in extreme climates, such as around 609C in tropical and -80 ° C in arctic Regions.
Es ist bekannt, in extremen Klimasituationen betriebene Druckwechselanlagen thermisch zu isolieren. Dadurch wird jedoch nur ein Teilerfolg erzielt, da das zu adsorbierende Gas in der Regel auf Umgebungstemperatur sein wird, die aber erheblich außerhalb des Bereiches optimaler Temperatur liegt. Die Erfindung beruht in ihrer allgemeinen Form auf der Uberlegung, statt in erster Linie Isoliermaßnahmen zu ergreifen, den Adsorptionsreaktor mittels eines zusätzlichen Wärmetauschermediums zu kühlen oder zu erwärmen, da die hierfür erforderliche Energie weit unterhalb der ansonsten notwendigen Kompressionsenergie liegt. Verbessert wird dieses Verfahren selbstverständlich durch die Kombination mit einer Wärmeisolation und ganz besonders dann, wenn der mit einem Wärmeaustauscher umgebene Adsorptionsreaktor wärmeisoliert ist und von einem Wärmeschutzschild umgeben wird sowie der Zwischenraum vom Restgas und/oder Produktgasstrom durchspült wird, weil hierdurch die Wärme-oder Kälteenergie, die zur Vorwärmung/Vorkühlung in das Rohgas hineingesteckt wurde, zum Teil noch nachträglich genutzt werden kann.It is known to operate pressure swing systems in extreme climatic situations thermally isolate. However, this only achieves partial success, since that too Adsorbing gas will usually be at ambient temperature, but that will be significant is outside the range of optimal temperature. The invention resides in their general form on consideration, instead of primarily taking isolation measures, to cool the adsorption reactor by means of an additional heat exchange medium or to heat, since the energy required for this is far below that otherwise necessary compression energy. This process will of course be improved through the combination with thermal insulation and very special when the adsorption reactor surrounded by a heat exchanger is thermally insulated and is surrounded by a heat shield and the space in between is surrounded by residual gas and / or product gas flow is flushed through, because this causes the heating or cooling energy, which was inserted into the raw gas for preheating / precooling, partly still can be used subsequently.
Es ist demnach die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, die die vorerwähnten Nachteile vermeidet und sowohl die Adsorptionsmittelmengen als auch die Kompressionsenergie für das zu trennende Rohgasgemisch möglichst weitgehend vermindert.It is accordingly the object of the invention, a method and a device provide which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages and both the amounts of adsorbent and the compression energy for the raw gas mixture to be separated as much as possible reduced.
Die Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich eines Verfahrens der eingangs genannten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst; weitere Ausführungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 3. Die Erfindung wird hinsichtlich einer Vorrichtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Patentanspruch 3 gelöst.With regard to a method, the task is as mentioned at the beginning Kind solved by the characterizing features of claim 1; further explanation of the invention emerge from the dependent claims 2 to 3. The invention is with respect to a device solved by the characterizing features of claim 3.
Ausführunqsbeispiel Bei der Sicstoffezeugung aus Luft werden z. B. bei eint~r Arbeitstempc'rit:tir von 200C und einer erwünschten Stickstoffreinheit von 99,9 % bei 1,7 bar und 300 m3/h Produktgas ca. 10,5 m3 des Adsorptionsmittels benötigt; der Luftbedarf beträgt 1.200 m3/h. - Soll die gleiche Stickstoffproduktionsrate bei einer mittleren Arbeitstemperatur von 400c bei sonst gleichen Druckbedingungen erzielt werden, wird eine fast doppelt so große Menge (16,8 m3) des Adsorptionsmittels benötigt und der Luftbedarf beträgt nunmehr ca. 1.845 m3/h. Der Gesamtenergiebedarf für die PSA-Anlage bei einer Bettemperatur von 20 0C beträg 194 kW, demgegenüber bei einer Bettemperatur von 40 0C 310 kW. Für die Kühlung der Adsorptionsbehälter und der Eingangs luft auf 20 0C ist ein Energieverbrauch von 24 kW zu veranschlagen. Damit würde also ein Energiegewinn von ca. 100 kW erzielt, wenn die Gasreinigung nicht bei 40, sondern bei 200c durchgeführt würde.Exemplary embodiment In the production of Sicstoff from air z. B. at a working temperature of 200C and a desired nitrogen purity of 99.9% at 1.7 bar and 300 m3 / h product gas approx. 10.5 m3 of the adsorbent needed; the air requirement is 1,200 m3 / h. - Shall have the same rate of nitrogen production at an average working temperature of 400c under otherwise identical pressure conditions achieved will be almost twice as large (16.8 m3) of the adsorbent is required and the air requirement is now approx. 1,845 m3 / h. The total energy requirement for the PSA system at a bed temperature of 20 0C is 194 kW, on the other hand at a bed temperature of 40 0C 310 kW. For cooling the Adsorption tank and the inlet air to 20 0C is an energy consumption of 24 kW should be estimated. This would result in an energy gain of approx. 100 kW, if the gas cleaning were not carried out at 40 but at 200c.
Weiter Vorteile und Ausführungsformen der Erfindung werden in einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt schematisch eine Vorrichtung zur Reinigung von Gasgemischen (Rohgas) mittels der üblichen Druckwechseladsorptionstechnik. Diese Vorrichtung besteht aus der Druckwechselanlage, von der nur die beiden Reaktoren 1 und die verbindenen Rohrleitungen 2 - 4 angedeutet sind. Die Reaktoren sind von den in eine Wärmeisolationsschicht 10 eingebetteten Rohrschlangen 5 umgeben, die mit einer Kälte- bzw. alternativ einer Wärmeerzeugungsmaschine 6 verbunden sind. In tropischen Gebieten wird eine Kälte-, in arktischen Gebieten eine Wärmemaschine benötigt. Die Rohrschlange sowie die Wärmeisolationsschicht sind wärmeteschniscb auszulegen .Further advantages and embodiments of the invention are in one preferred exemplary embodiment explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The figure shows schematically a device for cleaning gas mixtures (raw gas) by means of the usual pressure swing adsorption technology. This device consists of the pressure change system, of which only the two reactors 1 and the connecting pipelines 2-4 are indicated.
