Distillation system of energy saving of energy saving in the ch
7、emical industry plays an increasingly important position, the relevant distillation process energy saving measures have been widespread concern. Study more mainly in the following aspects: 1) for tower tower kettle, the large temperature difference between column column in a condenser or transformat
8、ion reboiler, can save energy 20%. 2) using heat pump system, make bottom of low-temperature place of heat transfer to tower axe high-temperature place, also can achieve good energy saving effects 3) vacuum distillation, can increase operating components to add. Therefore shall, according to the min
9、imum total cost principle to select appropriate In the most suitable reflux ratio under operation Reflux ratio directly influence the transformation reboiler and condenser of heat load, the net power decided distillation separation, so largely determines the operating cost, also with tower equipment
10、 investment closely related. At least reflux ratio R, near the growth, with R operating lines and balanced line in the distance between increases, reach formulary separation requirements needed tower, making the reduction of the number plate equipment costs decline. If further increase reflux ratio
11、and tower steam flow rate and the heat exchanger heat load increases, causing tower diameter and transformation reboiler and condenser heat transfer area increases, make the equipment cost. Therefore according to the principle of minimum total cost should be to choose appropriate reflux ratio. Due t
12、o the total cost in suitable reflux ratio near little change, it is desirable R = (1.2-130) R. The total cost increase to do so is not big, but elasticity of operation but increases the many. 1.2 Using optimal feedingthermal state Feed state (with charging status parameters g says) of different, wil

Feeding concentrations of different, namely D/F, different mat
14、erial liquid preheated different effects. High temperature distillation, when D/F bigger and have suitable for heating liquid materials low-temperature heat source, should as far as possible with the lower g, namely to vapor or gas mixture feeding, When D/F is lesser, should try to adopt high q valu
15、e, namely to liquid feeding, because save material liquid preheating, tower kettle add heat increases very little. Cryogenic distillation, no matter how old, all the D/F g should adopt high in liquid feeding, because the tower of condensing heat load yue xiaoyue economical. For medium temperature ra
16、nge of distillation column reactor temperature operation, namely than air temperature, and tower temperature below the atmospheric temperature, should according to the specific circumstances, to determine the optimal incoming state. 1 3 Using directly distillation equipment in removing heat Distilla
17、tion towers distillate and tower kettle residual liquid are high temperature, can use these calories to preheat into tower materials or other materials, through to the kettle decompression higher temperature liquid braising produce low-pressure steam. For tower is the multi-composition products and
18、its bubble point and dew point significant differences, can adopt two-stage condensing heat recovery of high temperature bits. 1.4 Using heat pump distillation measures 1.4.1 Using heat pump distillation The tower will lower temperature by compressed steam as bottom transformation reboiler heat, cal
19、led heat pump distillation. Heat pump distillation has three kinds of typical processes, 1) using additional working fluids, operate, 2) for direct compression, tower steam heating after as column reactor heating agent; 3) kettle liquid by throttling braising after as top cooling medium, this medium
20、 is heated gasification, then through compression warming themselves after back thetower bottom. 1 flow chooses working fluid, can be in compression characteristics, QiHuaRe silazanes have more good properties, but need to use two heat exchanger, when tower steam or cauldron liquid steam has good co
21、mpression characteristics and large vaporizing latent heat Choose two process after date. 1.4.2 Using middle condenser and middle transformation reboiler In the column, the temperature inside the top to bottom is increasing gradually, if in tazhong department set, can use the middle condenser high t
22、emperature of coolant, this means can use cheaper cold source, saving effective. If in the middle of central tower set transformation reboiler, for high temperature tower, it can use low temperature of heating agent. For binary column, intermediate condenser and middle transformation reboiler use, o
23、peration line to balanced line draws close, improves the tower separation process of reversible degree. 1.4.3 Using much effect distillation To reduce the energy consumption and heating agent highest temperature slightly higher than the bottom temperature, cooling temperature slightly below the towe
24、r temperature. But the reality is, the most convenient and inexpensive coolant water or air, the most commonly used heating agent is water vapor. However, these thermit or cold agent is difficult to meet the above requirements, so nothing more often column consumed many effective. Therefore can use
25、much effect distillation column bottom and top, as long as the temperature difference than the actual usable heating agent and the temperature difference between coolant is much smaller, can consider to use much effect distillation, much effect distillation can usually sharply reduce energy consumpt
26、ion.1.5 Reasonable arrangement of multi-composition material separation process Many components of material separation need to adopt more tower processes, how these towers arrangement, which components of energy, constitute the first consume influence. In order to seek the reasonable process arrange
27、ment, can use the following methods: 1.5.1 heuristics This method is easy to use, do not need to undertake is very multifarious calculations, the experience rules are as follows: 1) selection methods of separation of experience rules when key components of relative volatility degrees between a 1.05
28、a 1.1, unfavorable using common distillation, and should adopt to join the first of the three components separation method. Separation, should be adopted preferentially under atmospheric operation. If the column top condenser need refrigerants, should consider to absorb or extraction instead of dist
29、illation. If vacuum distillation need operation, can consider to use extraction substitute. 2） Determine the experience of separation sequence rules When the product is multivariate mixture, can directly obtained by separation tower products are the best. According to the material liquid of various
30、components of the volatile degrees of diminishing order, which in turn make various components from the top, because the most economic ceded the various components of the liquid materials only suffered a vaporization and condensation, energy dissipation at least once.3） Relevant experience with comp

If this and other non-critical component exists, tower ZhongQi phase flow rate will increase, tower will also increase, diameter tall and big tower will incr
34、ease investment. Appropriate materials will be the content in the most component first, the components of the most ceded content, avoided to distinguish the components in subsequent tower of multiple evaporation, condensing, reducing the subsequent tower load, so more economic.1.5.2 Mathematical pro
35、gramming Mathematical programming has strict mathematical foundation, general guarantee can be synthesized, and an optimal separation sequence. The optimal separating synthesis nonlinear mixed integer programming problem belongs to, since want to may constitute a sequence of discrete decision making
36、, and to every separator (tower) design variables to make continuous policymaking. Both must find out optimal separation sequence, and to find out which each separator design variable optimal value. 1 .6 Choose or to design efficient distillation equipment Column can be plate tower also can be packe
37、d tower. Overall large diameter of tray column of high efficiency and stable operation, equipment, low cost, small diameter of tray column is installed is very difficult, cost is high. Tray column suitable for processes need among heat, middle incoming or lateral-line discharging. But the pressure d

40、filler, for plate tower is should choose and design, low pressure drop, tower board efficiency high new tower board as float valve tower and other new tower board. Efficient distillation equipment selection and design of process is to reduce energy consumption of the foundation.2 Distillation proces

The factors affect reflux ratio feet can be inferred the following 3 points: 1) equipment depreciation of influence. Through the use of amortization cost

When the reflux ratio increases, theory on plate number N decrease. Tower equipment cost reduced, it is advantageous one side. On the other hand, for the same overhead product quantity and bottom product quantity, when the reflux ratio increases. Tower back to flow and rising ZhengQiLiang all with increasing, operation expenses and condenser, transformation reboiler equipment fee increases, this is adverse side
