Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the complex separation of ammonia and hydrogen from the ammonia synthesis residual gases by means of partial condensation. The object of the invention is to minimise the expenditure of energy for the recompression of the hydrogen to be separated, to separate the liquid fractions (nitrogen, methane, argon, ammonia) with a minimal hydrogen content, and to obtain a maximum of ammonia from the flash gases. The problem is solved in that with a heat exchange of the individual fluids to be effected, the pressure of the let-down circuit gas is reduced in several stages, along with partial condensations, to pressures which are adapted to the suction pressures of the compression stages of the synthesis gas compressor and, in the case of the last flash stage, to the fuel gas system pressure. The problem is furthermore solved in that following an ammonia separation to be effected, the product flash gas I is adapted, with the hydrogen proportion thereof, to the suction pressure of the synthesis gas compressor and, with the liquid proportion thereof, to the fuel gas system pressure.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Method of separating ammonia and hydrogen from ammonia synthesis gases
The invention relates to the complex ammonia and hydrogen recovery from the ammonia
synthesis residual gases by making use of partial condensation.
There are known ammonia synthesis processes wherein the product flash gas I is either burnt as
fuel gas or is re-compressed to the pressure of the circuit let-down gas in order to be subjected with
this gas to an ammonia elutriation or an ammonia condensation by using an external refrigerating
circuit. Deficiencies of these solutions are the insufficient utilisation of the product flash gas I
materialwise during the combustion thereof or the non-exploitation of the pressure of the circuit let
down gas as well as the additional energy consumption for the separate refrigeration.In British Patent
1,460,681 it has been proposed to cool the purge gas stream, which was liberated from ammonia in a
manner not described in the patent, by means of flashing and to decompose it by a counter-flow
exchange and a partial condensation into residual gas and a hydrogen fraction which is returned to the
synthesis reactor. The disadvantages of this solution are that the pressure energy contained in the
purge gas and the refrigerating effect proportional to this energy is not utilised and that the hydrogen
fraction produced is passed to the suction side of the synthesis gas compressor, thus causing an
additional expenditure of energy, and that the useful materials contained in the purge gases are not
utilised.
It is the aim of the invention to minimise the expenditure of energy for the re-compression of the
hydrogen fractions from the circuit let-down gas, and to produce the liquid fractions (methane, argon,
nitrogen) with a minimal proportion of hydrogen, and to separate a maximum of ammonia from all flash
gases, and to re-use the hydrogen proportion of the product flash gas I.
It is the object of the invention to eliminate the deficiencies of the known solutions in that a
method making better use of the energy of the synthesis process is proposed for a very far-reaching
recovery of the ammonia and the hydrogen and for the return of the hydrogen into the reactor circuit
with a minimal expenditure of energy.
According to the invention, the method proceeds in that the pressure of the circuit let-down gas,
which has been purged from ammonia, is reduced in three stages in such a way that the pressure in the
first separator is adapted to the suction pressure of the third stage of the synthesis gas compressor and
the pressure in the second separator is adapted to the suction pressure of the first stage of the
synthesis gas compressor and the pressure in the third separator is adapted to the pressure of the fuel
gas system of the ammonia synthesis.The hydrogen fraction from the second flash stage is partly fed
into the product flash gas I fraction, which has a low ammonia content, and partly into the product flash
gas II fraction, which has a low ammonia content, in order to ensure that the necessary low
temperature close to the triple point of the ammonis is reached in the process stages of the ammonia
partial condensation. The hydrogen fraction of the third flash stage is utilised together with the
hydrogen fraction of the second flash stage in the hydrogen recovery from the product flash gas I for
cooling foreign media, e.g. nitrogen in argon plants, and is finally fed into a suitable fuel gas system.
Due to the removal of this gas and the fact that it is not returned to the synthesis circuit, there does not
occur any helium enrichment in the synthesis circuit.
The hydrogen from the product flash gases which is not required for setting the temperature of
the ammonia partial condensation is used either for the cooling and liquifying of circuit nitrogen in
downstream argon production plants or for the counter-flow cooling of the circuit let-down gas, the
fraction from the second separator being passed to the suction side of the synthesis gas compressor.
An exemplified embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Circuit let-down gas (KEG) enters a complex hydrogen and ammonia separation plant through a
line 1, is cooled in a heat exchanger 9 to close to above the triple point of ammonia, and is fed through
a line 2 to a separator 12, in which the phase separation is effected. The liquid phase, the ammonia, is
withdrawn through the line 3, is reduced in pressure in the valve 1 is fed through the line 4 to the
heat exchanger 9, where it evaporates in a counter-flow to the circuit let-down gas and, in doing so, is
heated to close to the inlet temperature of the latter, before leaving the plant through the line 5. The
gas phase, which has been largely liberated from ammonia, is withdrawn from the separator through
the line 6, is reduced in pressure in the valve 10 to such an extent that the refrigeration requirement of
this plant part can be met thereby.Subsequently, there is effected via the line 7 in the heat exchanger
9 the heating thereof in a counter-flow to the circuit let-down gas up to close to the inlet temperature
of the latter. The heated gas phase is fed through the line 8 to the adsorber 13 for the removal of the
residual ammonia. The now ammonia-free circuit let-down gas enters the heat exchanger 38 through
the line 14, is subjected to cooling and partial condensation in the exchanger, emerges through the line 1 5 and is fed via the valve 1 6 to the separator 17, its pressure being so reduced that its is adapted to a
medium stage of the synthesis gas compressor.The gas phase, which is rich in hydrogen, leaves the
separator through the line 28, is then heated in the heat exchanger 38 to close to the inlet temperature
of the ammonia-liberated circuit let-down gas and is withdrawn from the plant through the line 29. The
liquid phase leaves the separator 17 through the line 18, is fed via the valve 1 9 to the separator 20, its pressure being so reduced that it is adapted to the pressure prevailing on the suction side of the synthesis gas compressor.The gas phase, which is rich in hydrogen, leaves the separator 20 through the line 30, is introduced both through the valve 39 and the line 40 and through the line 76, the valve 77 and the line 78 into the product flash gases which have been largely purged from ammonia and which are the product flash gas I and the fuel gas stream III, in order to provide the necessary refrigerating effect for these plant parts. That proportion of the hydrogen fraction from the separator 20 which is not required for meeting the necessary aforementioned refrigerating effect enters the heat exchanger 43 through the line 31 and leaves this exchanger through the line 32, during which process there is effected the cooling of nitrogen or other media (e.g. in argon production plants), which flow through the heat exchanger 43 through the lines 41 and 42.This proportion of the hydrogen fraction may be fed through the line 33 to the heat exchanger 38 and may then leave this exchanger in a heated state through the line 34.
The liquid fraction from the separator 20 passes through the line 21 and the valve 22 into the separator 23, its pressure being reduced, so as to minimise by this means the hydrogen content of the
liquid fraction. The pressure in the separator 23 is adapted to the pressure of the fuel gas system. The liquid fraction, in which only a few tenths percent of hydrogen are left, is withdrawn through the line 24, is regulated with respect to quantity by means of the valve 25, is fed through the line 26 to the heat exchanger 38 and is abducted therefrom through the line 27.The phase rich in hydrogen is withdrawn through the line 35 and is mixed via the line 68 with the hydrogen fraction arriving through the line 69, is then fed through the line 70 to the heat exchanger 75, in which it is heated against nitrogen or other media to be cooled, which pass through the heat exchanger 75 through the lines 73 and 74, before it emerges through the line 72. However, this hydrogen fraction may be fed through the line 36 to the heat exchanger 38 and may be withdrawn therefrom in a heated state through the line 37.
Product flash gas I (PEG I) enters the heat exchanger 54, and thus the plant, through the line 48, is initially cooled down to close to above the triple point of the ammonia and is passed through the line 49 into the separator 47. From this separator ammonia is withdrawn in a liquid state through the line 50, is reduced in pressure by means of the valve 51 to a gauge pressure of a few hundredths MPa, is fed through the line 52 to the heat exchanger 54, is heated therein in a counter-flow to the product flash gas I and is abducted from the plant through the line 53.The product flash gas I, which has been liberated from ammonia in the separator 47 to a very large extent, is withdrawn from the separator through the line 44, is slightly cooled by means of the hydrogen fraction fed from the line 40 and is fed through the line 45 to the heat exchanger 54, is heated therein in a counter-flow to the product flash gas I to close to the inlet temperature of the latter and is fed through the line 46 to the adsorber 55 for the purpose of removing the residual ammonia.
Ammonia-free product flash gas I subsequently enters the heat exchanger 60 through the line 56, is cooled and partially condensed in this exchanger, and is subsequently separated into a gas phase and a liquid phase in the separator 61 via the line 57. The gas phase rich in hydrogen leaves the separator through the line 58, passes into the heat exchanger 60, wherein it is heated to close to the inlet temperature of the product flash gas I, which has been liberated from ammonia, and is removed from the plant through the line 59.
The liquid phase leaves the separator 61 through the line 62 and is passed via the valve 63 to the separator 64, its pressure being so reduced that it is adapted to the fuel gas system. The liquid fraction, in which only a few tenths percent of hydrogen are left, is withdrawn through the line 65, is regulated with respect to quantity by means of the valve 71, is then fed to the heat exchanger through the line 66 and is abducted from this exchanger as fuel gas II through the line 67.
The gas phase, which is rich in hydrogen, passes through the line 69 into the line 68, wherein it is mixed with the hydrogen fraction, which flows therein, from the separator 23.
A product flash gas II enters the plant through the line 86, is cooled in the heat exchanger 88 to close to above the triple point of the ammonia and is fed through the line 87 to the separator 81.
Ammonia is withdrawn therefrom through the line 82, is reduced in pressure by means of the valve 83 to a gauge pressure of a few hundredths MPa, is thereafter heated through the line 84 in the heat exchanger 88 in a counter-flow to the product flash gas II, and is subsequently abducted from the plant through the line 85. The product flash gas II containing only traces of ammonia is withdrawn from the separator 81 through the line 79, is slightly cooled by the addition of the medium-pressure hydrogen fraction from the line 78 and is fed to the heat exchanger 88. Therein, it is heated in a counter-flow to the still untreated product flash gas II to close to the inlet temperature of the latter and is then abducted from the plant as fuel gas III through the line 80.
An addition of proportions of the medium-pressure hydrogen fraction to the plant parts serving for separating ammonia from the product flash gases may be effected in the lines 49 and 87 before the gas enters the separators 47 and 81 respectively.
