Abstract:

Based on Aspen Plus, a systematic sensitivity analysis of the extraction process of high purity isobutene from extracted C₄ is carried out, and the energy consumption and investment cost, which are the most important problems for Chinese consumers, are taken as the optimization targets, optimization analysis of heat exchanger network based on Aspen Energy Analyzer. The system sensitivity analysis shows that the purity of isobutene can reach 99.95% and the recovery can reach 99.6% under the optimum conditions of theoretical plate number 36 and reflux ratio 5. Based on the conceptual design method of pinch theory, analyzing the heat exchange of isobutene purification unit and its heat exchange network, the result demonstrates, at 60℃, and D006 resin as catalyst, and combines the Energy consumption parameters optimized by Aspen Energy Analyzer, the calculation results show that the energy consumption of the heat utility project reaches 1944.17kW, which saves 12.9% compared with the original process, and that of the cold utility project.

摘要：

基于Aspen Plus对抽余C₄提取高纯度异丁烯的工艺流程进行系统灵敏度分析，并以目前我国用户最重视的能源消耗问题与投资成本问题等为改造优化目标，基于Aspen Energy Analyzer对换热网络进行优化分析。对系统灵敏度进行分析得出：在精制塔理论塔板数为36、回流比为5的优化条件下，精制后异丁烯的质量纯度可达到99.95%，回收率可达到99.6% 。本文从夹点理论概念设计法着手，对异丁烯提纯装置换热并对其换热网络进行能效分析，结果表明，在反应温度为60℃，D006树脂做催化剂，结合Aspen Energy Analyzer优化后的能耗参数，计算得出工艺流程的热公用工程用量达到1944.17kW，相比原工艺过程的用能节约了12.9％；冷公用工程用量达到3877.78 kW，相比原工艺流程节约了23.4%，大幅度提升节能降耗效果并节省投资，因此本研究可以为能量的更优利用提供理论依据和可行方案。
