Abstract: 20,000 Nm3/h hydrogen production unit owned by Tahe Refining and Chemical Co.,Ltd. employs a steam hydrocarbon conversion and pressure swing adsorption(PSA)purification technology. This unit produces 11,055 Nm3 desorbed gas per hour,which is then fed into a reformer as fuel. The desorbed gas contains more than 50% CO2,which does not participate in combustion,and is finally emitted into the atmosphere together with the flue gas(burnt product),resulting in carbon emissions. In 2020,a CO2 recovery device was added to the hydrogen production unit,which recovers CO2 using a new amino ethyl ethanol amine(AEEA)liquid. After being compressed and liquefied,the recovered CO2 can be used for CO2 flooding,with the remaining CO2 returned to the reformer for combustion. This paper introduces the impacts of CO2 recovery device and CO2 recovery on process parameters,analyzes the problems arising after CO2 recovery,and proposes corresponding solutions,providing a basis for the modification of this unit to realize complete recovery of CO2 in the future

摘要: 塔河炼化20 000 Nm3/h水蒸汽烃类转化及变压吸附净化工艺(PSA)制氢装置每小时产生11 055 Nm3的解吸气进入转化炉作为燃料,解吸气中含有50%以上的CO2不参与燃烧,与燃烧完的烟气混合排入大气造成碳排放。2020年在制氢装置内增设CO2回收装置,通过新型羟乙基乙二胺液回收CO2。回收的CO2经过压缩液化,可用于油田驱油,余气则继续回转化炉燃烧。重点对CO2回收装置、回收CO2对工艺参数的影响等进行了描述,并对回收CO2后出现的各种问题进行了分析,提出了相应的解决方案,为今后装置完全回收CO2提供了改造的依据。
