Dehydration-compression system and CO
View Patent ↗There is provided a dehydration-compression system 10 in which CO 2 loss is suppressed, and a CO 2 recovery system including the dehydration-compression system. The dehydration-compression system 10 of the present invention includes multiple compressors 50 and a dehydration device 60 . The dehydration device 60 includes: a contactor 62 which removes H 2 O contained in CO 2 by absorbing the H 2 O into an dehydration solvent; a recovery part 74 which recovers the CO 2 from the dehydration solvent discharged from the contactor 62 ; and a first circulating passage L 31 which carries the CO 2 released from the recovery part 74 to the upstream side of the contactor 62.
1. A dehydration-compression system comprising:
multiple compressors for compressing CO 2 containing H 2 O; and
a dehydration device for separating the H 2 O from the CO 2 , wherein
the dehydration device comprises:
a contactor which removes the H 2 O from the CO 2 by bringing the CO 2 and a dehydration solvent into contact with each other and absorbing the H 2 O into the dehydration solvent;
a dry CO 2 carrying passage where the CO 2 with the H 2 O removed flows through;
a first recovery part which recovers the CO 2 from the dehydration solvent discharged from the contactor; and
a first circulating passage which carries the CO 2 discharged from the first recovery part, to a flow passage on an upstream side of the contactor,
wherein the dehydration device is installed between adjacent compressors of the multiple compressors with respect to a flow of the CO 2 or on the downstream side of the multiple compressors, and
wherein the first circulating passage branches at an intermediate position, and is connected with the flow passage on the upstream side of the compressor located on the upstream side of the contactor, and is connected with a flow passage between the compressor and the contactor.
2. The dehydration-compression system according to claim 1 , wherein the dehydration device is installed on the upstream side of the multiple compressors.
3. The dehydration-compression system according to claim 1 , further comprising a first pressure regulating part, which regulates the pressure of the CO 2 flowing through the first circulating passage, at an intermediate position of the first circulating passage.
4. The dehydration-compression system according to claim 1 , wherein a scrubber is installed on the upstream side of the compressors, and the CO 2 flowing through the first circulating passage is carried to the upstream side of the scrubber.
5. The dehydration-compression system according to claim 1 , wherein a scrubber is installed on the upstream side of the compressors, and the CO 2 flowing through the first circulating passage is carried to the upstream side of the scrubber.
6. A CO 2 recovery system comprising:
a CO 2 absorbing tower which brings exhaust gas containing CO 2 and a CO 2 absorbing liquid into contact with each other to remove the CO 2 present in the exhaust gas;
an absorbing liquid regenerating tower which causes the CO 2 absorbing liquid having absorbed the CO 2 in the CO 2 absorbing tower to release the CO 2 ; and
the dehydration-compression system according to claim 1 which compresses the CO 2 released in the absorbing liquid regenerating tower and removes the H 2 O contained in the CO 2 .
7. The dehydration-compression system according to claim 1 , comprising a second recovery part which recovers the CO 2 from the dehydration solvent discharged from the first recovery part, wherein
the second recovery part and the first circulating passage are connected in a second circulating passage, and the CO 2 discharged from the second recovery part is carried to the upstream side of the contactor.
8. The dehydration-compression system according to claim 7 , wherein a second pressure regulating part is installed at an intermediate position of the first circulating passage, and the second circulating passage is connected with the second pressure regulating part, the second pressure regulating part regulating the pressure of the CO 2 discharged from the second recovery part and mixing the CO 2 discharged from the second recovery part with the CO 2 discharged from the first recovery part.
