    50万t/a燃煤电厂烟气CO2胺法捕集工艺模拟优化

    Simulation and optimization of 500000 t/a CO2 amine capture process from a coal-fired power plant flue gas

    • 摘要: 混合胺吸收剂集成了单一有机胺的高吸收容量、低再生能耗等优点,是目前主流的二氧化碳吸收剂。然而,混合胺吸收剂的热力学以及动力学特性尚未得到系统性研究。因此,针对以空间位阻胺AMP(2–氨基–2–甲基–1–丙醇)和MDEA(N–甲基二乙醇胺)为主剂的CEU三元复配吸收剂,采用Aspen Plus软件建立了基于50万t/a燃煤电厂烟气CO2捕集工艺流程模型,开展工艺参数和节能工艺优化研究。结果表明,CEU混合胺吸收剂VLE模拟数据与实验数据较为一致,证明了热力学模型的准确性;基于此模型,对主体设备和节能工艺开展了模拟优化分析。确定了适宜的吸收塔填料高度为15 m、再生塔填料高度为10 m;级间冷却最佳位置位于第18级(总共20级);富液分级流最佳分流比例为15%;再生塔最佳再生压力为200 kPa,系统再生能耗最低为2.38 GJ/t CO2。基于最佳工艺参数的技术经济性分析表明,相比传统30%质量分数MEA技术,捕集总成本费用下降19.72%。实验可以为混合胺吸收剂的工业应用推广提供数据支撑。

       

      Abstract: The application of blended amine absorbents, which harness the advantages of high absorption capacity and low regeneration energy consumption over single organic amines, is investigated as a mainstream approach for carbon dioxide capture. Despite its promising potential, the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of blended amine absorbents remain potential, the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of blended amine absorbents remain understudied. Consequently, we focus on a CEU ternary blend comprising sterically hindered amines AMP (2–amino–2–methyl–1–propanol) and MDEA (N–methyldiethanolamine) as primary constituents. A comprehensive process flow model for a 500 kt/a CO2 capture process from coal-fired power plant flue gas was developed with Aspen Plus software. This model serves as the basis for rigorous analyses aimed at optimizing process parameters and enhancing energy efficiency. The findings reveal a close correlation between the VLE simulation data and experimental results, validating the thermodynamic model's accuracy. Further, through simulation and optimization, we determine optimal equipment configurations, including 15-meter packing height for the absorber and 10-meter packing height for the regenerator. Additionally, the paper identify the 18th stage as the ideal location for interstage cooling, a 15% split ratio for rich liquid fractionation, and a 2 bar regeneration pressure that minimizes system energy consumption to 2.38 GJ/t CO2. A technical and economic analysis based on these optimized parameters demonstrates a 19.72% reduction in total capture costs compared to the traditional 30wt% MEA technology. Experiment provides valuable insights and data support for the industrial adoption and advancement of blended amine absorbents in CO2 capture processes.
