    Australian Patents Act 1990 - Regulation 3.2 ORIGINAL COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention Title Carbon dioxide recovering apparatus and method for operating the same The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: 1 5102 1a FIELD 5 Embodiments described herein relate generally to a carbon dioxide recovering apparatus and a method for operating a carbon dioxide recovering apparatus. BACKGROUND 10 Recently, in terms of recovery of carbon dioxide, a carbon dioxide recovery and storage technique attracts attention as an effective measure against a globally-concerning global warming problem. Especially, for exhaust gas from a thermal power plant and the like, a method for recovering carbon dioxide by an alkaline 15 aqueous solution is considered. As such a carbon dioxide recovering apparatus is known one including an absorbing tower causing carbon dioxide contained in the flue gas to be absorbed in an absorbing solution to generate a rich solution, a releasing tower heating the rich solution discharged from 20 the absorbing tower to release and separate carbon dioxide as well as steam and returning a generated lean solution to the absorbing tower, a first heat exchanger allowing the lean solution supplied from the releasing tower to the absorbing tower to pass therethrough, a second heat exchanger allowing carbon dioxide containing steam 25 separated in the releasing tower to pass therethrough, and a flow distributor dividing and supplying the rich solution discharged from the absorbing tower to the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and adapted to cause the rich solution introduced into the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to 30 heat-exchange with the lean solution and the carbon dioxide containing steam, respectively, and to thereafter be supplied to the releasing tower. In the aforementioned conventional carbon dioxide recovering apparatus, in a case where a divided flow rate to the second heat 35 exchanger is lower than an optimum value, heat exchange with the carbon dioxide containing steam is not performed sufficiently. On 2 the other hand, in a case where the divided flow rate to the second heat exchanger is higher than the optimum value, heat exchange with the carbon dioxide containing steam is performed sufficiently, but a temperature of the rich solution heated in the releasing tower is 5 lowered, and a releasing performance of carbon dioxide is degraded. This case causes a problem in which the lean solution from which carbon dioxide is not released sufficiently is sent to the absorbing tower, and in which carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas cannot be absorbed sufficiently in the absorbing tower. An increase in energy 10 to be provided to a reboiler to avoid this situation results in an increase in energy required for recovery of carbon dioxide.

The controller controls a flow dividing ratio in the flow distributor based on a change in the amount of the condensate water measured in the measuring unit. 10 Embodiments will now be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. (First Embodiment) Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic configuration of a carbon dioxide recovering apparatus according to a first embodiment. This carbon 15 dioxide recovering apparatus includes an absorbing tower 101, a reheat exchanger 103, a gas-liquid separator 132, coolers 105 and 106, a releasing tower 102A, a reboiler 108, pumps 201, 202, and 203, and a flow distributor 107. The flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 introduced into the 20 absorbing tower 101 contacts an absorbing solution that absorbs carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is removed. The absorbing solution absorbs carbon dioxide from the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 to generate a rich solution 301. For example, the absorbing tower 101 is a countercurrent 25 gas-liquid contacting unit that brings the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 supplied from a lower portion into gas-liquid contact with a lean solution 319 flowing down from an upper portion. The flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 to be introduced into the absorbing tower 101 is not particularly limited and is 30 combustion exhaust gas or process exhaust gas, for example. The flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 may be introduced after a cooling treatment as needed. Also, the absorbing solution is not particularly limited as long as it is an alkaline solution and can be an amine aqueous solution 35 such as monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA), for example. Decarbonated gas 112 from which carbon dioxide has 4 been removed in the absorbing tower 101 is discharged from an upper portion of the absorbing tower 101. The rich solution 301 discharged from the absorbing tower 101 is given via the pump 201 to the flow distributor 107 and is 5 divided into rich solutions 302 and 303. The rich solution 302 heat-exchanges with an after-mentioned lean solution 316 in the reheat exchanger 103 and is thus heated, and a heated rich solution 320 is supplied via the pump 202 to the releasing tower 102A. Also, the rich solution 303 is provided to a position of the releasing tower 10 102A located further on an upper side than a position to which the rich solution 320 is provided, specifically to an after-mentioned heat exchange layer 102b, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The releasing tower 102A has a heat exchange layer 102a and the heat exchange layer 102b provided on an upper stage of the heat 15 exchange layer 102a. The rich solution 303 is supplied to the heat exchange layer 102b on the upper stage, passes through the heat exchange layer 102b, and moves downward. The rich solution 320 is supplied between the heat exchange layer 102a and the heat exchange layer 102b, passes through the filling layer 102a on the 20 lower stage, and moves downward. Carbon dioxide containing steam passes through the filling layers 102a and 102b upward for heat exchange. The rich solutions 303 and 320 are heated to cause most carbon dioxide as well as steam to be released, separated, and discharged from an upper portion of the releasing tower 102A as 25 carbon dioxide containing steam 310, and a high-temperature lean solution 316 from which most carbon dioxide has been removed is discharged from a lower portion of the releasing tower 102A. The releasing tower 102A is a countercurrent gas-liquid contacting unit, for example. The reboiler 108 heats a stored 30 solution in the releasing tower 102A with use of high-temperature steam 140 as an externally-supplied heat. By doing so, the carbon dioxide containing steam moves upward in the releasing tower 102A. The carbon dioxide containing steam 310 discharged from the releasing tower 102A is supplied to the cooler 105, is cooled by a 35 refrigerant 142 such as cold water to be supplied externally, and is discharged to the gas-liquid separator 132.
    5 The carbon dioxide containing steam 310 cooled in the cooler 105 is separated into carbon dioxide 315 and condensate water 314 in the gas-liquid separator 132, and the carbon dioxide 315 is discharged and recovered. The gas-liquid separator 132 is provided 5 with a water gauge 401 for measurement of water level changes of the condensate water 314. In other words, an amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 (an amount of the condensate water to be generated per unit time) is measured. The condensate water 314 can be supplied to the releasing tower 102A. 10 The lean solution 316 discharged from the releasing tower 102A heat-exchanges with the rich solution 302 in the reheat exchanger 103. A lean solution 318 after heat exchange in the reheat exchanger 103 is supplied to the cooler 106 and is cooled by a refrigerant 143 such as cold water to be supplied externally. A lean 15 solution 319 cooled in the cooler 106 is supplied to the absorbing tower 101, absorbs carbon dioxide from the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111, and becomes the rich solution 301. In this manner, in the carbon dioxide recovering apparatus, the absorbing solution circulates between the absorbing tower 101 and the 20 releasing tower 102A, and carbon dioxide is recovered. The carbon dioxide recovering apparatus also includes a controller 402 that obtains a measurement result of the water gauge 401 and controls divided flow rates (flow dividing ratio) of the rich solutions 302 and 303 in the flow distributor 107 and a heat input 25 amount in the reboiler 108. An example of relationship between the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 and carbon dioxide recovering energy in such a carbon dioxide recovering apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 2. As illustrated in Fig. 2, when the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 30 is raised from zero gradually, the carbon dioxide recovering energy is lowered gradually. This suggests that heat recovery of the rich solution 303 from the carbon dioxide containing steam at the upper portion of the releasing tower 102A is carried out effectively. When the divided flow rate is between predetermined values a and p, the 35 carbon dioxide recovering energy keeps a low value. When the divided flow rate exceeds the predetermined value p, the carbon 6 dioxide recovering energy is significantly raised along with the raise of the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303. This suggests that, by supplying the rich solution 303 to the releasing tower 102A excessively, a temperature in the releasing tower 102A is lowered, 5 which prevents release of carbon dioxide. Accordingly, it is preferable to set the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 in a range of a to p. Fig. 3 illustrates an example of relationship between the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 and the amount of the 10 condensate water per unit time in the gas-liquid separator 132. As illustrated in Fig. 3, when the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 is raised from zero, the amount of the condensate water per unit time is decreased along with the raise of the divided flow rate. The reason for this is that heat recovery of the rich solution 303 from the 15 carbon dioxide containing steam at the upper portion of the releasing tower 102A is carried out effectively, which causes a decrease in a steam amount to be carried to the gas-liquid separator 132. It is apparent from Fig. 3 that the amount of the condensate water becomes almost constant when the divided flow rate of the rich 20 solution 303 exceeds the predetermined value a. Accordingly, from Figs. 2 and 3, a divided flow rate when the amount of the condensate water becomes almost constant, that is, when a water level change of the condensate water 314 in the gas-liquid separator 132 to be measured by the water gauge 401 25 becomes almost constant, after a gradual raise of the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 from zero, is an optimum divided flow rate in which the carbon dioxide recovering energy is restricted. In this manner, by determining the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 while monitoring the water level change of the 30 condensate water 314 in the gas-liquid separator 132, the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 can be optimum, heat recovery of the rich solutions 302 and 303 from the lean solution 316 and the carbon dioxide containing steam can be performed effectively, and the carbon dioxide recovering energy can be restricted. 35 (Second Embodiment) Fig. 4 illustrates a schematic configuration of a carbon dioxide 7 recovering apparatus according to a second embodiment. The carbon dioxide recovering apparatus according to the present embodiment differs from the first embodiment illustrated in Fig. 1 in that a carbon dioxide generator 104 and a joining unit 109 are 5 provided, and in that heat exchange between the rich solution 303 and the carbon dioxide containing steam 310 is performed in the carbon dioxide generator 104. The rich solution 301 discharged from the absorbing tower 101 is divided into the rich solutions 302 and 303 by the flow 10 distributor 107. The rich solution 302 heat-exchanges with the lean solution 316 in the reheat exchanger 103 and is heated. On the other hand, the rich solution 303 heat-exchanges with the carbon dioxide containing steam 310 in the carbon dioxide generator (heat exchanger) 104 and is heated. Carbon dioxide containing steam 15 311 that has passed through the carbon dioxide generator 104 is supplied to the cooler 105. The rich solution 320 heated in the reheat exchanger 103 and a rich solution 306 heated in the carbon dioxide generator 104 are joined in the joining unit 109 and are supplied to a releasing tower 20 102B. The rich solution supplied to the releasing tower 102B passes through the filling layer 102a and moves downward. Carbon dioxide containing steam passes through the filling layer 102a upward for heat exchange with the rich solution. The rich solution is heated to 25 cause most carbon dioxide as well as steam to be released, separated, and discharged from an upper portion of the releasing tower 102B as the carbon dioxide containing steam 310, and the high-temperature lean solution 316 from which most carbon dioxide has been removed is discharged from a lower portion of the releasing tower 102B. 30 In the carbon dioxide recovering apparatus configured in this manner as well as in the aforementioned first embodiment, an optimum divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 can be determined easily while a water level change of the condensate water 314 in the gas-liquid separator 132 can be monitored. Accordingly, heat 35 recovery of the rich solutions 302 and 303 from the lean solution 316 and the carbon dioxide containing steam can be performed effectively, 8 and carbon dioxide recovering energy can be restricted. In the above first and second embodiments, a method of raising the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 gradually from zero until the amount of the condensate water becomes almost 5 constant has been described. However, an initial value of the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 may be set to a certain large value, and an optimum divided flow rate may be obtained by decreasing the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 gradually while confirming that the amount of the condensate water is not 10 increased excessively (that the amount of the condensate water is almost constant). Specifically, the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 is lowered gradually until the amount of the condensate water does not fall in a certain range any more. Also, after determination of the optimum divided flow rate of 15 the rich solution 303, to achieve a desired carbon dioxide recovering ratio, the heat input amount in the reboiler 108 may be controlled while confirming that the amount of the condensate water is not increased excessively (that the amount of the condensate water is almost constant). 20 For measurement of the amount of the condensate water per unit time in the gas-liquid separator 132, a mass meter may be used instead of the water gauge 401, or a flowmeter may be used to measure a flow rate of the condensate water 314 to be returned from the gas-liquid separator 132 to the releasing tower 102A or 102B, 25 and the amount of the condensate water may be derived from the measured flow rate. Examples (Example 1) In the carbon dioxide recovering apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1, 30 the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 with 12% carbon dioxide with a flow rate of 100 Nm 3 /h was supplied to the absorbing tower 101 and was brought into countercurrent contact with an amine absorbing solution in the absorbing tower 101 to prepare the rich solution 301. First, the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 was 35 set to zero, and an entire amount of the rich solution 301 was set as the rich solution 302. At this time, a carbon dioxide recovering ratio 9 at an exit of the absorbing tower 101 was 80%. When the heat input amount in the reboiler 108 (an amount of steam to be supplied) was increased to raise the carbon dioxide recovering ratio to 95%, the recovering energy became 4.0 GJ/t-C0 2 . At this time, the amount of 5 the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 was 200 L per unit time. Subsequently, while monitoring that a measurement result of the water gauge 401 provided in the gas-liquid separator 132 was being decreased, the flow distributor 107 was controlled by the 10 controller 402 to raise the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303. Fig. 5 illustrates relationship between the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 and carbon dioxide recovering energy. Also, Fig. 6 illustrates relationship between the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 and the amount of the condensate water per unit time in 15 the gas-liquid separator 132. As is apparent from Fig. 6, when the flow rate of the rich solution 303 exceeded 5% of the rich solution 301, the amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 was decreased to approximately 20 L per unit time and became almost constant. It 20 was confirmed that, when the flow rate of the rich solution 303 was 5% of the rich solution 301, the carbon dioxide recovering ratio at the exit of the absorbing tower 101 was 90%, the carbon dioxide recovering energy was 3.1 GJ/t-C0 2 , and the carbon dioxide recovering energy was able to be lowered further by 0.9 GJ/t-C0 2 25 than in a case of setting the entire amount of the rich solution 301 as the rich solution 302. It was confirmed that, by raising the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 gradually from a predetermined value (zero, for example) until the amount of the condensate water became almost constant, the optimum divided flow rate was able to 30 be obtained, heat recovery of the rich solutions from the lean solution and the carbon dioxide containing steam was able to be performed effectively, and carbon dioxide recovering energy was able to be restricted. (Example 2) 35 In the carbon dioxide recovering apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1, the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 with 12% carbon dioxide 10 with a flow rate of 100 Nm 3 /h was supplied to the absorbing tower 101 and was brought into countercurrent contact with an amine absorbing solution in the absorbing tower 101 to prepare the rich solution 301. First, the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 was 5 set to 30% of the rich solution 301, and the divided flow rate of the rich solution 302 was set to 70% of the rich solution 301. At this time, the carbon dioxide recovering ratio at the exit of the absorbing tower 101 was 70%, and the amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 was 10 L per unit time. Also, the carbon 10 dioxide recovering energy became 3.8 GJ/t-C0 2 . Subsequently, when the flow distributor 107 was controlled by the controller 402 to lower the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 to approximately 10% of the rich solution 301 while monitoring that a measurement result of the water gauge 401 provided in the 15 gas-liquid separator 132 was not increased excessively (that the measurement result was almost constant), the carbon dioxide recovering ratio in the absorbing tower 101 was raised, and a 90% carbon dioxide recovering ratio was able to be achieved. The amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 at 20 this time was 15 L per unit time and was almost constant. At this time, the carbon dioxide recovering energy was 3.0 GJ/t-C0 2 , and it was confirmed that the carbon dioxide recovering energy was able to be lowered further by 0.8 GJ/t-C0 2 than in a case of setting the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 to 30% of the rich solution 25 301. (Example 3) In the carbon dioxide recovering apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1, the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 with 12% carbon dioxide with a flow rate of 100 Nm 3 /h was supplied to the absorbing tower 30 101 and was brought into countercurrent contact with an amine absorbing solution in the absorbing tower 101 to prepare the rich solution 301. First, the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 was set to 3 0% of the rich solution 301, and the divided flow rate of the rich solution 302 was set to 70% of the rich solution 301. Example 35 3 differs from Example 2 only in that the heat input amount in the reboiler is approximately 5% smaller than that in Example 2. At this 11 time, the carbon dioxide recovering ratio at the exit of the absorbing tower 101 was 65%, and the amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 was 15 L per unit time. Also, the carbon dioxide recovering energy became 3.9 GJ/t-C0 2 . 5 Subsequently, when the flow distributor 107 was controlled by the controller 402 to lower the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 to approximately 10% of the rich solution 301 while monitoring that a measurement result of the water gauge 401 provided in the gas-liquid separator 132 was not increased excessively (that the 10 measurement result was almost constant), the carbon dioxide recovering ratio in the absorbing tower 101 was raised, and a 85% carbon dioxide recovering ratio was able to be achieved. In addition, when the heat input amount in the reboiler 108 was increased, the carbon dioxide recovering ratio was raised to 90%. 15 At this time, the carbon dioxide recovering energy was 3.0 GJI/t-CO 2 , and it was confirmed that the carbon dioxide recovering energy was able to be lowered by 0.9 GJ/t-CO 2 . (Example 4) In the carbon dioxide recovering apparatus illustrated in Fig. 4, 20 the flue gas containing carbon dioxide 111 with 12% carbon dioxide with a flow rate of 100 Nm 3 /h was supplied to the absorbing tower 101 and was brought into countercurrent contact with an amine absorbing solution in the absorbing tower 101 to prepare the rich solution 301. 25 First, the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 was set to zero, and an entire amount of the rich solution 301 was set as the rich solution 302. At this time, a carbon dioxide recovering ratio at an exit of the absorbing tower 101 was 80%. When the heat input amount in the reboiler 108 (an amount of steam to be supplied) was 30 increased to raise the carbon dioxide recovering ratio to 95%, the recovering energy became 4.0 GJ/t-CO 2 . At this time, the amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 was 200 L per unit time. Subsequently, while monitoring that a measurement result of 35 the water gauge 401 provided in the gas-liquid separator 132 was being decreased, the flow distributor 107 was controlled by the 12 controller 402 to raise the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303. When the flow rate of the rich solution 303 exceeded 5% of the rich solution 301, the amount of the condensate water in the gas-liquid separator 132 was decreased to approximately 20 L per unit time and 5 became almost constant. It was confirmed that, when the flow rate of the rich solution 303 was 5% of the rich solution 301, the carbon dioxide recovering ratio at the exit of the absorbing tower 101 was 90%, the carbon dioxide recovering energy was 3.1 GJ/t-C0 2 , and the carbon dioxide recovering energy was able to be lowered further 10 by 0.9 GJ/t-C0 2 than in a case of setting the entire amount of the rich solution 301 as the rich solution 302. It was confirmed that, by raising the divided flow rate of the rich solution 303 gradually from zero until the amount of the condensate water became almost constant, the optimum divided flow rate was able to be obtained, 15 heat recovery of the rich solutions from the lean solution and the carbon dioxide containing steam was able to be performed effectively, and carbon dioxide recovering energy was able to be restricted. In at least one of the embodiments described above, heat recovery of the rich solutions from the lean solution and the carbon 20 dioxide containing steam can be performed effectively, and carbon dioxide recovering energy can be restricted.
