Background technology
For containing H
2the Sweet natural gas of S gas field output, generally adopt amine method and sulfone amine method to remove the H in Sweet natural gas
2s, yet the H that contains that desulfuration solution is regenerated and separated out
2the acid gas of S, must process after reaching the environmental emission standard and can discharge.Usually according to H in the separated out acid gas of regenerating in the desulfurization and decarburization process
2the number of the content of S is selected the acid gas treatment process.
Generally speaking, for H
2s content is greater than the higher concentration acid gas of 50mol %, mostly enters Crouse (Claus) device and adopts flow-through method that hydrogen sulfide is converted into to elemental sulfur.The principal feature of flow-through method is that whole acid gas enter the roasting kiln reaction together with the air of allocating on demand, pass through waste heat boiler, two-stage or more catalytic conversion reactor and corresponding sulphur condensation water cooler, after trapping sulphur, reclamation tail gas burning is emptying or enter exhaust gas processing device again.The advantage of this method maximum is in roasting kiln, to have the elementary sulfur of 60%-70% to generate, and this has just greatly alleviated the conversion load of catalytic section and has contributed to improve sulfur recovery rate.
At present for H
2s content is less than the low concentration acid gas of 50mol %, and technique commonly used mainly contains Claus shunting process, Lo-Cat technique and alkali absorb method etc.H in acid gas
2s concentration can adopt the Claus shunting process higher than 15% the time again lower than 50%, and typical shunting process makes 1/3 of acid gas amount enter with the air of metering the H that roasting kiln will be wherein
2s changes into SO fully
2, this strand of air-flow is mixed into catalytic conversion stage with 2/3 other acid gas after waste heat boiler, and in this kind of technique, sulphur is in catalytic section, to generate fully.The sulfur recovery rate of conventional two-stage Claus device is at 95%-97%, can improve to a certain extent sulfur recovery rate though further increase the conversion progression of Claus device itself, but the cost expended is high and be difficult to reach desired total sulfur yield, therefore the strict area for environmental protection standard, usual method is to set up exhaust gas processing device after the conventional Claus device of two-stage, by the SO in Claus tail gas
2deng being reduced into H
2s, improve H in tail gas through an absorption and regeneration technique afterwards
2s concentration, then by the H of concentrate
2s sends the Claus device back to and reclaims sulphur.For processing lower concentration H
2the acid gas of S, this kind of Claus shunting+tail gas treatment process can reach the total sulfur recovery more than 99.5%, meets very strict environmental requirement.The shortcoming of this technique is because the part acid gas directly enters catalytic conversion stage without roasting kiln, and while containing the impurity such as heavy hydrocarbon, especially aromatic hydrocarbon in acid gas, they may pollute catalyzer, causes catalyst activity to reduce, shorten its work-ing life.
Lo-Cat technique is a kind of redox process of processing the lower concentration acid gas, and it adopts the two chelated iron catalyzer of distinctive environment-friendly type H
2s transforms into nontoxic elemental sulfur.Overall process is: H
2s+1/
2o
2→ H
2o+S(solid).Oxygen in this reaction is provided by the air that blasts catalyst solution.Without consuming the chelated iron catalyzer, so need only in reaction, add appropriate catalyzer to supplement the catalyst loss caused because of mechanical reason due to reaction process.In addition, also need to add micro-alkaline matter to keep the pH value of solution value to be slightly alkalescence, add a small amount of sequestrant to supplement the sequestrant decomposed in time.The total sulfur recovery of Lo-Cat technique can reach more than 99.5%, also can meet very strict environmental requirement.With other acid gas processing device, compare, Lo-Cat process unit running cost is higher, and is difficult to operation, and the sulfur product of production is difficult to meet sells requirement, and market application foreground is not very wide in general.
Alkali absorb method is mainly usingd basic solution as the absorption agent of sour gas, and this method can remove sour gas effectively, also can reach higher environmental requirement.Its main drawback is that alkali lye consumption alkali lye large, that absorbed sour gas causes secondary pollution, and is only applicable to process the acid gas of the low sulfur content of diving, and current this method seldom is applied in the Sweet natural gas process and processes in acid gas.
For above-mentioned Claus shunting process and Lo-Cat technique to processing H in acid gas
2the restriction of S concentration, improve H in acid gas
2the concentration of S is to meet the requirement (H of Claus DC processes to concentration
2s>50%) become a main direction of current process modification.
