Background
The urea production technology in the world at present mainly comprises the following steps: CO 2 stripping process from Tomibacon, netherlands, NH 3 stripping process from Lignomo Luo Jidi, japan, ACES process. Either process is carried out by reacting excess ammonia with carbon dioxide at a pressure of 12-40MPa (a) and a temperature of 150-250 c:
the first step is an exothermic reaction to form ammonium carbamate:
2NH3+CO2→H2N-CO-ONH4
The second step is the dehydration of the ammonium carbamate formed to urea by an endothermic equilibrium reaction:
H2N-CO-ONH4=H2N-CO-NH2+H2O
the reaction is carried out at a certain temperature and pressure, urea, ammonium carbamate, water and unreacted ammonia are generated in the high-pressure urea synthesis reaction zone, the ammonium carbamate and the ammonia are removed from the solution, and the solution is returned to the urea synthesis zone for continuous reaction. In addition to the solution, a gas mixture is formed in the urea synthesis reaction, which gas mixture consists of unreacted ammonia and carbon dioxide and inert gas exhaust gases, ammonia being recovered by water absorption.
The decomposition of ammonium carbamate that is not converted to urea in the high pressure urea synthesis reaction zone is typically performed by thermal stripping with carbon dioxide and/or ammonia in a stripper and the decomposition of ammonium carbamate into ammonia and carbon dioxide, the heat required for the decomposition being provided by steam or other heat sources provided by external heat sources. Stripping removes the ammonia and carbon dioxide present and condenses in the high pressure condenser before being returned to the urea synthesis section.
The urea after the stripping treatment is decomposed by being lower than the pressure of the synthesis section, and the ammonium carbamate is returned to the urea synthesis section. The recovery device is usually a single device, can also be a multi-stage recovery device arranged in series, and can be arranged according to the principle of lowest energy consumption.
In the traditional CO 2 stripping process at present, the high-pressure ring operates under the guidance of an optimization theory: the synthesis pressure adopts the lowest equilibrium pressure, the ammonia/carbon ratio adopts the ammonia/carbon ratio (2.95) in the lowest azeotropic composition, the operation pressure is 13.5-14.5MPa (A), the temperature is 180-183 ℃, the condensation temperature is 167 ℃, the stripping temperature is about 190 ℃, and the stripping efficiency is more than 80%. These parameters are mild, so that the main equipment material adopts 316L or 25-22-2CrNiMo, and the requirement of strong corrosion resistance of the material can be met by matching with a sufficient amount of passivation air, and the equipment is convenient to manufacture and maintain. Because the stripping efficiency is higher, the requirement of material recycling can be met only by arranging a low-pressure recycling section, but high-level heat energy is not utilized, so that the steam consumption of the whole urea synthesis device is higher.
The urea synthesizing tower is a key device in the urea production process, and makes ammonia and carbon dioxide carry out urea synthesis reaction under the conditions of high pressure and high temperature. The urea synthesis tower generally adopts an empty tower or is provided with a mixer or a sieve plate, the reaction liquid flows along the axial direction of the synthesis tower, and as the sieve plate or the mixer is provided with holes, the pressure drop during gas phase perforation is larger than that of a liquid phase passing through an annular space of the synthesis tower, so that the liquid phase and the gas phase are mixed above the tower plate, the reaction of generating urea by methyl ammonium dehydration is carried out, and vortex is generated in the mixing flow process, namely back mixing is generated. Due to the presence of back mixing, the reaction rate of the methylamine is reduced during the urea synthesis, which is manifested by a reduced conversion of CO 2. In addition, the urea synthesis tower is generally internally provided with a central tube for guiding out the reaction liquid, so that not only is the space for the reaction of the methyl ammonium occupied, but also the equipment investment is increased.
In the urea production process, a stripping tower decomposes most of CO 2 and NH 3 generated by methyl ammonium in urea solution, and the CO 2 and the NH 3 are condensed in a high-pressure condenser to generate methyl ammonium solution; the inert gas discharged from the urea synthesis tower is used for recycling NH 3 in the inert gas through a high-pressure scrubber. This process requires two high pressure devices, a high pressure scrubber and a high pressure condenser, which are independently located not only to increase floor space but also to increase equipment manufacturing costs.
The invention is provided for solving the problems of high energy consumption, large equipment investment and low reaction efficiency in urea production.

From the exhaust emission perspective, the top of the ammonium carbamate washing condenser 3 is connected with the high-pressure absorption tower 30 through a pipeline, a pressure reducing valve is arranged on the pipeline, the bottom of the high-pressure absorption tower 30 is connected with the normal-pressure absorption tower 40 through a pipeline and is connected to the top side part of the normal-pressure absorption tower 40, the gas phase pipelines of the medium-pressure separator 8 and the low-pressure separator 94 are combined and then are connected to the bottom side part of the normal-pressure absorption tower 40, and the gas phases in the medium-pressure separator 8 and the low-pressure separator 94 are combined and introduced into the normal-pressure absorption tower 40 for absorption.
By this arrangement, the liquid in the high-pressure absorption tower 30 can be sprayed in the normal-pressure absorption tower 40, and the gas phase in the medium-pressure separator 8 and the low-pressure separator 94 can be sprayed and recovered.
According to the urea synthesis device, the whole energy consumption of the device is effectively reduced by improving the flow and the structure of the existing high-pressure synthesis system, the balance of the energy in the device is realized, the equipment cost is reduced, and the productivity of urea is improved.
