Hereinafter, the urea hydrolysis product gas capturing and energy saving reheating device of the present invention will be described in detail.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the urea hydrolysis product gas capturing and energy saving reheat device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the urea hydrolysis product gas capturing and energy-saving reheating device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a gas capturing unit 1, a reheating unit 2, and a temperature and pressure reducing unit 3. The gas trapping unit 1 is arranged in the urea hydrolyzer to collect product gas rapidly, the reheating unit 2 heats the product gas by utilizing heat of superheated steam and further increases the temperature of the product gas, and the temperature and pressure reducing unit 3 is used for further reducing the temperature and pressure of the steam after full heat exchange to obtain saturated steam meeting requirements and further heating urea solution.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the gas capturing unit 1 of the invention is arranged in the upper gas phase space of the urea hydrolyser and extends out of the urea hydrolyser in connection with an ammonia supply pipe or reheat unit 2.
Preferably, the gas capturing unit 1 is a T-shaped pipe assembly and comprises a longer collecting pipe 11 arranged axially along the urea hydrolyzer and a shorter exhaust pipe 13 arranged radially along the urea hydrolyzer.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic side view of the structure of the collection pipe of the gas capturing unit in the urea hydrolysis product gas capturing and energy saving reheating device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, a plurality of groups of gas collecting holes are arranged on the lower surface of the collecting pipe 11 at intervals, each group of gas collecting holes are uniformly distributed along the radial direction of the collecting pipe 11, and two ends of the collecting pipe are blocked by end covers 12, so that the product gas of urea hydrolysis can be rapidly collected and discharged. The exhaust pipe 13 extends out of the urea hydrolyzer shell and is connected with the ammonia supply pipeline or the reheating unit 2.
Therefore, the product gas generated in the ammonia production process of the urea hydrolyzer continuously escapes from the liquid phase to the gas phase space at the upper part of the urea hydrolyzer, is quickly trapped by the gas collecting holes on the collecting pipe 11 in the gas trapping unit 1, and is discharged into the reheating unit 2 through the exhaust pipe 13.
Compared with the design that the conventional urea hydrolysis product gas is directly discharged to a factory conveying pipeline through an outlet at the top of the urea hydrolyzer, the structural design of the invention can rapidly and uniformly collect and discharge the hydrolysis product gas gathered at the top of the urea hydrolyzer, thereby reducing the adverse effect of the product gas gathering on the urea hydrolysis reaction to the greatest extent and improving the urea hydrolysis efficiency.
The reheating unit 2 of the invention directly introduces auxiliary steam to reheat urea hydrolysis product gas, and specifically comprises a shell 21 and a steam coil 23 arranged in the shell 21, wherein the shell 21 is arranged in an ammonia supply pipeline or connected with the gas capturing unit 1 through a product gas inlet and connected with the ammonia supply pipeline through a product gas outlet 26. That is, the reheating unit 2 may be directly connected to the urea hydrolyzer, or may be separately installed on the ammonia supply pipe away from the urea hydrolyzer body. When installed on top of the urea hydrolyzer, it is desirable to install it vertically, and when installed on the ammonia supply pipe of the product gas outlet, it is desirable to install it horizontally. The steam inlet 24 of the steam coil 23 is connected to a steam source and the steam outlet 25 is connected to a steam inlet of the urea hydrolyzer, whereby the product gas entering the housing 21 of the reheat unit 2 is able to exchange heat sufficiently with the superheated steam flowing in the steam coil 23 to raise the temperature.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural view of a flow equalizing plate of a reheat unit in a urea hydrolysis product gas trapping and energy saving reheat device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, preferably, a flow equalizing plate 22 is provided at the product gas inlet of the casing 21 in the reheating unit 1, and the flow equalizing plate 22 is an orifice plate uniformly provided with a plurality of small holes and is disposed over the entire cross section of the casing 21 of the reheating unit.
When entering the reheating unit 2, the product gas is blocked by the flow equalizing plate 22, the flow velocity is rapidly reduced and spread, and the product gas uniformly enters the shell 21 of the reheating unit through dense small holes on the flow equalizing plate 22. The urea hydrolysis product gas is rectified by the flow equalizing plate and then uniformly heated by the high-temperature steam in the coil pipe to increase the temperature, and when the product gas actually flows through the steam coil pipe 23 in the shell 21, the product gas is heated by the high-temperature steam in the steam coil pipe and the temperature is further increased, and then is discharged to an ammonia supply pipeline through the product gas outlet 26 and is sent to the SCR denitration system.
The diameter and the height of the reheating unit 2 are determined through calculation according to the required heat exchange amount, the steam coil 23 can be in various forms such as a serpentine coil, a spiral coil, a U-shaped coil or a tubular coil, and the heat exchange area is determined to meet the design temperature requirement of the product gas.
When the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 is connected with the gas capturing unit 1 through the product gas inlet and is connected with the ammonia supply pipeline through the product gas outlet 26, the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 and the shell of the urea hydrolyzer are connected through flange connection or welding, the center line of the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 is opposite to the center line of the exhaust pipe 13, and the diameter of the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 is larger than the diameter of the exhaust pipe 13. When the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 is arranged in the ammonia supply pipeline, two ends of the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 are connected with the ammonia supply pipeline through cone sections or seal head openings. Wherein, supply ammonia pipeline and SCR denitration system to carry out the flue gas denitration with product gas delivery.
Compared with the design that the conventional urea hydrolysis product gas is directly discharged to a factory conveying pipeline through an outlet at the top of the hydrolyzer, the structure of the invention fully utilizes the heat of the superheated steam to further improve the temperature of the product gas, can avoid the steam reflux and the generation of polymers in the conveying process of the product gas, reduces the risk of blockage and corrosion of a pipeline system, and improves the stability and reliability of ammonia supply of the system.
The invention also comprises a temperature and pressure reducing unit 3 arranged on the line between the steam outlet 25 of the steam coil 23 and the steam inlet of the urea hydrolyzer. The high-temperature steam in the steam coil 23 is directly connected with auxiliary heating steam (0.8-1.2 MPa, 300 ℃) of a power plant, enters the steam coil 23 through a steam inlet 24 of the steam coil 23, fully exchanges heat with product gas outside the pipe, and is discharged from a steam outlet 25. The exhausted steam still has a certain degree of superheat, and the pressure and temperature of the exhausted steam are further reduced to saturated steam by the temperature and pressure reducing unit 3, and then the saturated steam enters the urea hydrolyzer to heat the urea solution.
The steam source used in the invention is auxiliary heating steam of a power plant at 0.8-1.2 MPa and at the temperature of about 300 ℃, and the steam passing through the reheating unit 2 and the temperature and pressure reducing unit 3 is saturated steam at 0.7-0.8 MPa and at 170-180 ℃. The temperature of the product gas output by the gas trapping unit 1 is 140-160 ℃, and the temperature of the product gas after passing through the reheating unit 2 is 180-200 ℃.
Compared with the conventional technology that auxiliary steam is directly led to spray water, reduce temperature and pressure and then is sent into a urea hydrolyzer to heat urea solution, the technology of the invention fully utilizes the heat of the auxiliary steam to improve the temperature of hydrolysis product gas and then reduces the temperature and pressure, thereby reducing the heat loss of the steam and saving energy consumption. Meanwhile, the steam temperature entering the temperature and pressure reducing device is reduced, so that the water consumption of the water spraying pump is correspondingly reduced, and water resources are saved.
The invention is further illustrated below with reference to examples.
Examples:
After 40-60%wt. urea solution (40-50 ℃) is heated to 140-160 ℃ by saturated steam in a urea hydrolyzer, urea and water undergo hydrolysis reaction to generate mixed gas (hydrolysis product gas) of NH 3、CO2 and water vapor at 140-160 ℃, the product gas continuously escapes from the solution to a gas phase area at the upper part of the urea hydrolyzer, and is rapidly and uniformly trapped by a gas collecting hole of a collecting pipe 11 on a gas trapping unit 1 and then discharged to a reheating unit 2 at the top of the urea hydrolyzer from an exhaust pipe 13.
When entering the reheating unit 2, the product gas is blocked by the flow equalizing plate 22, and the flow speed is rapidly reduced and is diffused to uniformly enter the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 through dense small holes on the flow equalizing plate 22. In the process of flowing through the reheating unit 2, the product gas is heated by a steam coil 23 arranged in the shell 21, is discharged to an ammonia supply pipeline in a factory from a product gas outlet 26 after the temperature is increased to 180-200 ℃, and is finally conveyed to the SCR denitration system. The high-temperature steam in the steam coil 23 in the reheating unit 2 is directly connected with auxiliary steam of 0.8-1.2 MPa and 300 ℃ of the power plant, enters the steam coil 23 from the steam inlet 24, is discharged from the steam outlet 25 after heat exchange and temperature reduction, and enters the urea hydrolyzer to heat urea solution after the pressure and temperature are further reduced to saturated steam by the temperature and pressure reduction unit 3.
The gas collecting holes uniformly and densely distributed on the gas collecting unit 1 can rapidly and uniformly collect product gas collected in a gas phase region in the urea hydrolyzer, reduce internal pressure fluctuation caused by centralized exhaust, facilitate the product gas to continuously escape from the solution, promote urea hydrolysis reaction and improve urea hydrolysis efficiency.
The diameter of the shell 21 of the reheating unit 2 is larger than that of the exhaust pipe 13, and the flow equalizing plate 22 arranged in the reheating unit has a speed reducing and flow equalizing effect on the product gas exhausted by the exhaust pipe 13, so that the product gas is uniformly heated by steam in the steam coil 3 when passing through the reheating unit 2 at a lower flow rate, and an ideal reheating effect is achieved.
The steam coil 3 may take various forms, such as a serpentine coil, a spiral coil, a U-shaped coil, a tubular steam pipe, etc., and the height and diameter of the coil are reasonably determined according to the heat exchange area calculated by heat transfer, thereby determining the diameter of the shell 21 in the reheat unit. The diameter of the casing 21 is preferably 2 to 4 times the diameter of the exhaust pipe 21, and the height is preferably 1 to 2 m.
The reheat unit 2 fully utilizes the heat of auxiliary superheated steam to further improve the temperature of the product gas, so that the problems of steam reflux, polymer corrosion and blockage in the process of conveying the product gas can be avoided, the steam heat energy loss is saved, and the water consumption of the temperature-reducing water pump is reduced.
In summary, the beneficial effects of the invention mainly include the following aspects:
1) The gas trapping unit arranged in the gas phase zone at the upper part of the urea hydrolyzer can rapidly and uniformly collect and discharge hydrolysis product gas accumulated at the upper part of the hydrolyzer, reduce internal pressure fluctuation caused by exhaust, promote hydrolysis gas to escape from liquid and improve urea hydrolysis efficiency;

3) The auxiliary steam before temperature reduction and pressure reduction is utilized to further heat the urea hydrolysis product gas to improve the temperature, so that the heat loss caused by the steam in the temperature reduction and pressure reduction process is reduced, and the energy is saved. Compared with the technology of improving the gas temperature of the hydrolysis product by electric heating, the technology has obvious energy-saving effect.
4) The auxiliary steam after heat transfer with the urea product gas is subjected to temperature reduction and pressure reduction to saturated steam after the temperature is reduced, so that the energy can be fully utilized, the water consumption of the water spraying pump is reduced, and the water resource is saved.
