Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for deacidifying a fluid stream which contains acid gases as impurities and a device therefor.
- fluid flows occur that contain acid gases such as CO 2 , H 2 S, SO 2 , CS 2l HCN, COS or mercaptans as impurities.
- These fluid streams can be, for example, gas streams (such as natural gas, refinery gas, the oxidation of organic organic materials, such as organic waste coal or petroleum, or reaction gases formed in the composting of waste materials containing organic substances).
- the removal of the acid gases is of particular importance for various reasons.
- the content of sulfur compounds in natural gas must be reduced by suitable treatment measures directly at the natural gas source, because the sulfur compounds also form acids in the water often carried by natural gas, which have a corrosive effect.
- predetermined limit values for the sulfur-containing impurities must therefore be observed.
- the reaction gases generated in the oxidation of organic materials, such as organic waste, coal or petroleum, or in the composting of waste materials containing organic substances, must be removed in order to prevent the emission of gases which can damage nature or affect the climate.
- Typical physical solvents are cyclotetramethylene sulfone (sulfolane) and its derivatives, aliphatic acid amides (acetylmorpholine, N-formylmorpholine), NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone), propylene carbonate, N-alkylated pyrrolidones and corresponding piperidones, methanol and mixtures of dialkyl ethers from polyethylene glycols ®, Union Carbide, Danbury, Conn., USA).
- chemical solvents are used, the mode of action of which is based on chemical reactions in which, after absorption, the dissolved acid gases are present in the form of chemical compounds.
- ions are formed from inorganic bases (eg Potash solution in the Benfield process) or organic bases (eg alkanolamines) when acid gases are dissolved.
- the solvent can be regenerated by relaxing to a lower pressure or stripping, the ionic species reacting back to acid gases and / or being stripped off using steam. After the regeneration process, the solvent can be reused.
- Preferred alkanolamines used to remove acid gas contaminants from hydrocarbon gas streams include monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), diethylethanolamine (DEEA), diisopropylamine (DIPA), aminoethoxyethanol (AEE) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA).
- MEA monoethanolamine
- DEA diethanolamine
- TEA triethanolamine
- DEEA diethylethanolamine
- DIPA diisopropylamine
- AEE aminoethoxyethanol
- MDEA methyldiethanolamine
- the fluid streams are brought into contact with the washing solution in an absorption step. It is known from "Gas Purification”, Arthur Kohl, Richard Nielsen, Gulf Publishing Company, Houston, Texas, 1997, 5th edition, Chapter 3, Subchapter Amine Plant Corrosion, 187-230, to carry out this absorption step in steel washing columns. It is also described (loc. Cit) that the steel, unless expensive high-alloy steels are used, is attacked by corrosion due to the proportion of acid gases. This considerably limits the lifespan of the systems.
- the object was therefore to provide a device for absorbing acid gases from fluid streams comprising a scrubbing column, in which the scrubbing column is largely inert to the fluid streams.
- the fluid stream mostly a starting gas rich in acidic gas components (raw gas) is brought into contact with an absorbent in an absorption step in an internal washing column, whereby the acidic gas components are at least partially washed out.
- the source gas is generally natural gas or a gas stream that is formed in the following ways:
- Organic substances which are subjected to oxidation are usually fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or petroleum or waste materials containing organic substances.
- Waste materials containing organic substances which are subjected to oxidation, composting or storage are primarily household waste, plastic waste or packaging waste.
- the organic substances are mostly oxidized with air in conventional combustion plants.
- composting and storage of waste materials containing organic substances is generally carried out in landfills.
- Bacterial decomposition takes place e.g. in common biogas plants.
- these gas streams contain less than 50 mg / m 3 sulfur dioxide under normal conditions.
- the starting gases can either have the pressure which corresponds approximately to the pressure of the ambient air, for example normal pressure or a pressure which deviates from normal pressure by up to 0.2 bar. Furthermore, the starting gases can have a pressure higher than 0.2 bar than normal pressure, a pressure up to 20 bar.
- Source gases with a higher pressure than are considered by compressing the source gases with the pressure which is close to the pressure of the ambient air or by producing the source gas at a higher pressure, for example by oxidation of organic substances with compressed air. The resulting volume flow of the gas is thereby reduced and the partial pressure of the acid gases to be separated, which is advantageous for absorption and the need for regeneration.
- the compression effort investment and operating costs
- the possibly higher investment costs due to the use of printing devices are disadvantageous, so that there is an optimum cost here.
- Preferred absorbents are e.g. chemical solvents selected from the group consisting of
- Solutions consisting mainly of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amines with 4 to 12 carbon atoms, alkanolamines with 4 to 12 carbon atoms, cyclic amines in which 1 or 2 nitrogen atoms together with 1 or 2 alkanediyl groups form 5-, 6- or 7-membered rings, mixtures of the above Solutions, aqueous solutions of the above mixtures and
- aqueous solutions containing salts of amino acids aqueous potash solutions, which may contain piperazine or methylethanolamine, aqueous NaOH or lime milk.
- Solutions consisting mainly of monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), diethylethanolamine (DEEA), diisopropylamine (DI PA) and aminoethoxyethanol are particularly preferred as the chemical solvent
- AEE methyldiethanolamine
- MDEA methyldiethanolamine
- the absorbent described in US Pat. No. 4,336,233 has proven particularly useful. It is an aqueous solution of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and piperazine as an absorption accelerator or activator (aMDEA®, BASF AG, Ludwigshafen).
- MDEA methyldiethanolamine
- aMDEA® piperazine as an absorption accelerator or activator
- the washing liquid described there contains 1.5 to 4.5 mol / l methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and 0.05 to 0.8 mol / l, preferably up to 0.4 mol / l piperazine.
- Physical solvents selected from the group consisting of cyclotetramethylene sulfone (sulfolane) and its deri- vate, aliphatic acid amides (acetylmorpholine, N-formylmorpholine), NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone), propylene carbonate, N-alkylated pyrrolidones and corresponding piperidones, methanol and mixtures of dialkyl ethers of polyethylene glycols.
- aliphatic acid amides acetylmorpholine, N-formylmorpholine
- NMP N-methylpyrrolidone
- propylene carbonate N-alkylated pyrrolidones and corresponding piperidones
- methanol and mixtures of dialkyl ethers of polyethylene glycols methanol and mixtures of dialkyl ethers of polyethylene glycols.
- the inert wash columns used in the process according to the invention consist essentially of plastics, selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymers (Halar® from Allied Chemical Comp.), Polyfluoroethylene propylene, perfluoroalkoxy polymers, copolymers of Tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro vinyl ether, polytetrafluoroethylene. These plastics are preferably glass fiber reinforced. Also suitable are washing columns made of steel, the interior of which is coated with plastic or rubber.
- Suitable inert wash columns are, for example, packing, packing and plate columns. Only inert wash columns are preferably used as absorbers, but it is also possible to use them in combination with other known absorbers such as membrane contactors, radial flow washers, jet washers, Venturi washers and rotary spray washers or washing columns made of steel.
- the treatment of the fluid stream with the absorbent is preferably carried out in an inert wash column in countercurrent. The fluid is generally fed into the lower region and the absorbent into the upper region of the column.
