Background
The acid gas of the refinery is in stoneA tail gas generated during oil processing contains H as main component2S and CO2. The acid gas of the refinery mainly comes from devices such as acid water stripping, recycle hydrogen desulfurization, dry gas and liquefied gas desulfurization and the like. The acid gas amount of large-scale refinery is larger (annual sulfur production is more than 5000 t/a), and an acid gas treatment device for producing sulfur is generally established for H2And S is recycled. For medium and small refineries (annual sulfur production is less than 5000 t/a), the cost for building a sulfur device is higher due to small amount of acid gas, most small refineries basically treat the acid gas in a combustion emission mode, and the method not only causes resource waste, but also generates SO (sulfur oxide) by combustion2Brings great pressure to environmental protection.
At present, the treatment of acid gas in refinery can be divided into products such as preparation of sulfur, preparation of sulfuric acid, preparation of sulfite, NaHS and the like according to different products prepared by recovery.
The preparation of the sulfur product mainly comprises two mature technologies, one is a two-stage Claus + tail gas hydrogenation reduction + solvent absorption process technology; the other is the LO-CAT process technology developed by Merichem gas technology products, Inc. of America. The two-stage Claus + tail gas hydrogenation reduction + solvent absorption technology is mature, the quality of sulfur products is stable, but the Claus technology only can treat acid gas with high concentration and has no advantage for the treatment of acid gas in small refineries due to long flow, large investment, high energy consumption and high requirement on safety control of devices. LO-CAT Process Using Multichelated iron catalyst for H2S is directly converted into elemental sulfur, and the method can be suitable for the working condition with large fluctuation of acid gas quantity, H2The removal rate of S is high, but the LO-CAT has the problems of high operation cost, slightly inferior sulfur purity and color compared with the Claus process, blockage of sulfur particles generated in the production process, high catalyst and patent use cost and the like, so that the technology is difficult to popularize in the acid gas treatment of small refineries.
The acid gas acid making technology can directly utilize acid gas to make acid, and has the advantages of low investment, low cost, strong adaptability and easy operation of production process. However, the production process of sulfuric acid is complex, the occupied area is large, and the transportation and storage of sulfuric acid have certain difficulty, which becomes a limiting factor. The technological process for producing sulfite by acid gas is simple, product diversification can be realized by adopting different absorbents, but the problems of serious equipment corrosion, higher maintenance cost, unsmooth product sale and the like exist in the production process, and the method has certain limitation.
The comprehensive utilization of acid gas can adopt the novel absorption desulfurization process with less investment to produce chemical product sodium sulfide (Na)2S/NaHS). The sodium sulfide can be widely applied to industries such as mineral separation, pesticides, dyes, leather production, organic synthesis and the like. The refinery acid gas contains H in addition to2The S gas also contains a certain amount of CO2Gas, in the process for producing alkali sulphide, CO2The gas can be mixed with raw material alkali liquor to produce Na2CO3/NaHCO3Impurities cause the blockage of process pipelines in the production process, so that the production device cannot continuously run for a long period, and the problems of high alkali consumption, poor product purity and the like exist. CN103551018A discloses a method for purifying and recycling sulfur-containing tail gas, which utilizes barium sulfide to treat CO in gas2Removing to obtain H2The S gas can produce high-quality NaHS products, but barium sulfite and barium carbonate precipitates are generated, so that the processing is difficult. CN1109020A discloses a method for preparing NaHS by one-step method, which adopts solid-containing slurry of lime and sodium sulfate to react with CO2H of (A) to (B)2S gas is treated, and calcium carbonate and the like are precipitated. The methods for preparing NaHS described in patents CN101186280A and CN101337661A also face the problem of waste residue treatment. Patent CN103754833A discloses a device and a method for producing NaHS by using refinery dry gas, which utilizes a supergravity technology to selectively desulfurize the dry gas to obtain 99% H2The purity of NaHS produced by S gas can reach more than 42 percent, but the technology has long raw material gas pretreatment process, complex production device and higher regeneration energy consumption of rich absorption liquid. The NaHS production technologies described in CN103446849A, CN103466559A and CN103638802A also face the problems of complex flow, high amine liquid regeneration energy consumption in acid gas pretreatment and the like.
In summary, the treatment of acid gas in small refineries needs to comprehensively consider factors such as safety, environmental protection, economy and the like, so that a comprehensive treatment mode with short flow, less investment, simple operation, low energy consumption and operation cost and certain economic benefit is required.
The hydrate separation technology is a hot point of domestic and foreign research in recent years, and the technology is paid much attention by virtue of the advantages of simple flow, mild conditions, flexible operation, greenness, no pollution and the like. The principle of separating the mixed gas by the hydrate technology is that the pressure difference of hydrates formed by different gases is large, and the separation of the components of the mixed gas can be realized by utilizing the pressure difference of the hydrates formed by the different gases and controlling the generation conditions. H in acid gases2S gas and CO2The difference of phase equilibrium conditions when the gas and water form hydrate is large, so the acid gas can be separated by the technology. However, the energy consumption of the hydrate in the process of generating and decomposing is a main factor for restricting the application of the technology. In addition, the liquid phase for separating gas by the traditional hydrate method adopts aqueous solution, the generated hydrate is generally in a crystalline form, the mobility of the formed hydrate is poor, and the formed hydrate is easy to aggregate and block, so that the continuity and large-scale application of the related technology of the hydrate are directly restricted. Although the related technology adopts granulation and hydrate slurry form for conveying in order to solve the mobility problem of the hydrate, the granulation technology needs a dehydration procedure, and the dehydrated hydrate is processed by a granulator, so that the process is complex; the hydrate slurry is in a form of circularly conveying the hydrate and the solution which does not react to generate the hydrate to solve the mobility problem, but the mixed slurry needs to be integrally heated when the hydrate is decomposed, and is integrally cooled after the gas is decomposed and released, so that the energy consumption is greatly increased, and the operation cost is increased.

The amount of acid gas in a certain refinery is Q =400Nm3H, pressure 0.7MPa, where H2S volume fraction of 84%, CO2The volume fraction is 16%, and the rest is hydrocarbons and the like. The acid gas is treated by the treatment method and the treatment device shown in FIG. 1. Wherein, the hydrate decomposer adopts the decomposer structure shown in FIG. 2.
The operating conditions and treatment effects during the treatment were as follows: the acid gas 21 is pressurized to 1.2Mpa by a compressor 22 and then is introduced into a hydration reactor 24, and reacts with the hydrate working solution in the hydration reactor 24 under the following reaction conditions: the pressure is 1.2Mpa, the temperature is 5 ℃, the hydrate working solution is composed of water, SDS accounting for 0.03 percent of the mass fraction of the water solution, polyethylene glycol accounting for 10 percent of the mass fraction of the water solution, diesel oil accounting for 1/4 of the volume ratio of the diesel oil to the water, and span (dehydrated sorbitol fatty acid ester) emulsifier accounting for 0.8 percent of the molar ratio of the span to the water, the generation amount of the hydrate is controlled to be about 60 percent of the total volume amount of the hydrate slurry through reaction, and H in a hydration reactor 242S gas preferentially forms hydrate with the working fluid to be enriched into hydrate phase, CO2And the inert gas is enriched in gas phase and discharged as tail gas, and CO in the tail gas2The concentration is about 85 percent, and the concentrated treatment is carried out by the refinery gas desulfurization system which is incorporated into the upstream of the refinery acid gas; conveying the hydrate slurry 26 to a hydrate decomposer 27, wherein the condition of the hydrate decomposer 27 is that the pressure is 0.5Mpa, the hydrate slurry 6 is separated into a hydrate-rich phase accounting for 70 percent of the total slurry amount and a cold clear liquid phase accounting for 30 percent of the total slurry amount in a slurry separation unit, wherein the hydrate content in the cold clear liquid is about 10 percent and enters a cold clear liquid storage tank, the hydrate content in the hydrate-rich phase is higher than 80 percent and enters a regeneration liquid storage tank 7 of the decomposition unit, the regeneration liquid storage tank 7 maintains the temperature at about 22 ℃ by adjusting the liquid flow rate of a high-temperature product, and the hydrate-rich slurry is released after being heatedTo produce high concentration H2S gas and regenerated working liquid are obtained at the same time, the regenerated working liquid and cold clear liquid enter a heat exchange device 29 together to be cooled and then return to the hydration reactor 24 for recycling, nitrogen is adopted as stripping gas at the bottom of a regenerated liquid storage tank 7, and CO in gas released from a hydrate decomposer2The content is less than 3 percent; the obtained high concentration H2The S gas enters an absorption reactor 33 to react with 48 percent NaOH solution to generate Na2S product, the operation conditions of the absorption reactor are as follows: absorbing the purified tail gas discharged after being treated by the reactor 33 at the pressure of 0.4Mpa and the temperature of 95 ℃ to obtain Na2And a part of the S product liquid is led out to enter the hydrate decomposer 7 for heating, the S product liquid is used as internal circulation liquid to return to the absorption reactor 33 after heat exchange, and the rest product liquid enters the product tank 40 for storage.

Comparative example 1
The method is the same as that in the embodiment 1, except that the hydrate decomposer adopts a conventional single-tower form, when the same treatment effect is achieved, because the double-tower hierarchical decomposer adopted in the embodiment 1 decomposes the hydrate slurry into a 70% hydrate-rich phase and a 30% cold clear liquid phase through the separation unit, and then only the hydrate-rich phase accounting for 70% of the total slurry is subjected to deep decomposition treatment, while the conventional decomposer adopted in the comparative example needs to integrally heat the hydrate and the solution which does not react to generate the hydrate, and integrally cool the regenerated liquid obtained after decomposing the released gas, so that the energy consumption is greatly increased, and the operation cost is increased. Compared with the embodiment 1, the total energy consumption of the working solution for cooling after the hydrate slurry is heated and decomposed and the working solution is decomposed in the comparative example is increased by more than 40%.
Comparative example 2
The method is the same as the example 1, except that the acid gas is pretreated by adopting the traditional absorption-regeneration process of an alcohol amine method, the absorption liquid adopts MDEA solution with the mass fraction of 30%, the absorption temperature is 30 ℃, and the regeneration temperature is 118 ℃. When the same treatment effect is achieved, the energy consumption is larger due to the higher regeneration temperature of the amine liquid, the heat for decomposing the hydrate in the example 1 can be completely provided by the reaction heat generated by the alkali method, and compared with the example 1, the energy consumption for the pretreatment of the acid gas in the comparative example is increased by more than 20%.
