Description

Improved differential pressure adsorption process and equipment
The present invention relates in pressure swing adsorption system, carry out the purification of gas.Present invention is specifically related to and to make operating characteristics better in the circulation and the improvement of system aspects.
Transformation absorption (PSA) process is at least one component in separation and the purification raw gas mixture, and a kind of technology of commercial needs is provided.This raw gas mixture is made up of above-mentioned component and at least one alternative adsorbed components, under higher absorption pressure, adsorbent bed absorption, then, adsorbent bed pressure drop to lower desorption pressure, is separated sucking-off by the selectivity adsorbed components.Available Wagner patent (U.S. 3430418) illustrates that the pressure-swing absorption process of carrying out, this process have 4 beds at least in multibed system.In this patent, narrated the circulation pressure-swing absorption process of generally all knowing, the cyclic process of each bed all comprises the sequence of operations step: (1) is under higher absorption pressure, products export extraction product gas from bed: (2) cocurrent flow is decompressed to intermediate pressure, gas in the products export extraction bed space of above-mentioned bed, (3) countercurrent depressurization is to lower desorption pressure; (4) purge and (5) repressurize.Gas during cocurrent flow decompression in the bed space of extraction is usually used in pressure equilibrium and as the purge gas that is in than the bed under the low pressure.
In above-mentioned said various pressure-swing absorption processes with four or more bed system, design separation and recovery and other separation of gaseous mixture that three bed systems are used for air usually.This system is based on the cumulative adsorption step of pressure of narration in the McCombs patent (U.S. 3,738087).In the embodiment therein, air is added adsorbent bed, make the bed supercharging, nitrogen is wherein adsorbed by selectivity, and simultaneously with certain speed, from the products export extraction oxygen wherein of bed, bed just increases to higher absorption pressure like this.The pressure-swing absorption process that has the cumulative adsorption step of pressure comprises: the cumulative adsorption step of (1) above-mentioned pressure; (2) cocurrent flow is decompressed to intermediate pressure, the gas in the products export extraction bed space of bed; (3) countercurrent depressurization is to lower desorption pressure; (4) purge and (5) decompression.In the above-described embodiment, in the order of pressure equilibrium-generation purge gas-pressure equilibrium, will add other bed of system at the gas in the bed space of extraction during the cocurrent flow decompression.The isobaric adsorption step that the latter's circulation is adopted the Wagner circulation there is no need.So just make bed have more time to regenerate, just in certain circulation timei, have more time to carry out countercurrent depressurization and purging, especially for short system of the operation cycle total time of design, it can obtain higher production capacity, the rate of recovery and (or) purity.
Use three such bed system.Each bed is equipped with commercial 13X, and 8 * 12 column molecular sieves carry out air separation, and the rate of recovery that obtains oxygen is 48%, and production capacity (BSF) is 4000 pound 13X molecular sieves/ton oxygen sky (TPD).The product oxygen that the above-mentioned rate of recovery is defined as recovery accounts for the percentage or the volume fraction of the oxygen in the raw air, and above-mentioned production capacity (BSF) is defined as and produces the one ton of needed molecular sieve pound of oxygen number every day.The numerical value of the above-described rate of recovery and production capacity is by one three bed system, and the global cycle cycle is when being 180 seconds, the highest pressure of the raw air of acquisition inlet be the 2.8[kilogram/(centimetre) 2] (gauge pressure), the product gas back pressure be the 1.4[kilogram/(centimetre) 2] (gauge pressure).
Three bed systems of standard although it is so can satisfy various commercial uses, but still wish to improve technically the rate of recovery and the production capacity of product.But, run into a lot of difficulties for realizing these purposes.For example, reduce (even production capacity increase), must reduce total cycle time, make it to be lower than above-mentioned 180 seconds for the BSF value is had significantly than above-mentioned standard three bed systems., reduce individual steps, just reduce purging and time of pressure equilibrium step, be subjected to the restriction of gas velocity and bed fluidization scope or be subjected to the restriction of spendable cycle performance standard.Because these restrictions are arranged,, be impossible reduce total circulation timei significantly only by reducing the time of indivedual circulation steps.On the other hand, for four bed systems of standard, by using the relevant standard cycle technology of said system, introduce the 5th bed the production capacity of single bed is increased, for certain application scenario, this can cause increasing total circulation timei and BSF value.The increase of BSF value can damage owing to increased the potential production capacity that the bed number increases in pressure swing adsorption system.On the other hand, in the transformation absorption, the size restrictions of oxygen absorbent bed the maximum productivity of single transformation absorption series.Therefore, need exploitation to reduce the technology of BSF value, adsorb the scope of the maximum productivity of series to increase this single transformation.Thereby, still be necessary to improve pressure swing adsorption technically, make the BSF value reduce, the production capacity of single transformation absorption series increases.These improvement can help reducing total cycle time, but still have time enough to finish each circulation step, are unlikely to reduce the purity and the rate of recovery of product.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an improved pressure-swing absorption process and system.
Another object of the present invention provides a pressure-swing absorption process and system and be used for separating and reclaiming oxygen from air.
A further object of the invention provides a pressure-swing absorption process and system and makes and reduce to minimum total circulation timei, but still has time enough to finish each independent circulation step, and is unlikely to reduce the purity and the rate of recovery of product.
The present invention who below is described in detail for the purpose of these and other, particularly points out characteristics of the present invention just in the appended claims.
Pressure-swing absorption process of the present invention and system have advantageously adopted circulation step novel the time, make total cycle time reduce, and the rate of recovery of product increases, and the BSF value reduces.Independently provide the required time of step of purge gas to wish than the purge step weak point, in implementing the short total cycle time of the present invention's permission, wherein the time of countercurrent depressurization and purging can enough make the bed realization regenerate fully.
By the pressure-swing absorption process in the Wagner patent of narration more than circulation step is introduced simultaneously, realize the present invention's purpose.So-called circulation step simultaneously is meant in global cycle and reduces pressure the stage relevant with countercurrent depressurization steps with cocurrent flow.These while circulation steps reduce total cycle time, and the BSF value is reduced, even the production capacity of adsorbent increases.Implement when of the present invention, can be under total cycle time be reduced to minimum situation, the bed production capacity that is strengthened, and can not reduce the purity or the rate of recovery of product.Compare with industrial three pressure-swing absorption processes of the standard of above narration and the result of system, found that product recovery rate of the present invention has had significant improvement actually.
