Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this kind of fault removal are: 1. Regardless of whether the fault is a relatively simple low-level fault or a more complicated high-level fault, it will be shut down for maintenance, which greatly affects production efficiency.
2. During the emergency shutdown, the catalyst in the reformer, carbon monoxide converter, and desulfurization mechanism was not protected, which made the catalyst vulnerable to contamination and could not be used after the fault was resolved, resulting in economic losses

Embodiment 1

[0038] Embodiment 1: The temperature of the reformer is low.

[0039]The monitoring point 101 of the reformer temperature sends the monitoring signal to the PLC, and the PLC converts the monitoring signal into a measured value and sends it to the computer, and the computer obtains the measured value: T 实测 =700°C, the preset value T of the reformer temperature is preset in the computer 设定 =780℃, according to T 实测 设定 , the computer judged that the temperature of the reformer was low. In this embodiment, calculation processing is performed by the following method.

[0040] Calculation: △V=(△T / T 设定 ) × V 总 =0.43m 3 / h;

[0041] △Vair=λ△V=4.3 m 3 / h.

[0042] In the formula: △T is the difference between the temperature preset value and the measured temperature value; △V is the volume flow rate of natural gas for combustion that needs to be increased; T 设定 is the preset reformer temperature; V 总 is the initial volume flow rate of natural gas for combustion, V 总 =4.2m 3 / ...

Embodiment 2

[0044] Embodiment 2: Fault due to high sulfur content.

[0045] The monitoring point 106 of the natural gas composition after desulfurization sends the monitoring signal to the PLC, and the PLC converts the monitoring signal into a measured value and sends it to the computer, and the computer obtains the measured value of the sulfur content of the natural gas after desulfurization: S 实测 =8ppb, the preset value S of sulfur content in natural gas after desulfurization is preset in the computer 设定 =4ppb, according to S 实测 >S 设定 , the computer judged that a high sulfur content fault occurred.

[0046] According to △S=8-4=4ppb, the computer judges that the desulfurization treatment capacity needs to be doubled.

[0047] The computer sends instructions to the desulfurizer electric flow regulating valve 701 on a spare desulfurization pipeline through the PLC, so that the desulfurizer electric flow regulating valve 701 on the spare desulfurization pipeline is opened to a certain op...

Embodiment 3

[0048] Embodiment 3: The temperature of the carbon monoxide converter is too high and the fault occurs.

[0049] The monitoring point 102 of the temperature of the carbon monoxide converter sends the monitoring signal to the PLC, and the PLC converts the monitoring signal into a measured value and sends it to the computer, and the computer obtains the measured value of the temperature of the carbon monoxide converter: T 实测 =300℃, the preset value T of the carbon monoxide converter temperature is preset in the computer 设定 =280℃, according to T 实测 >T 设定 , the computer judges that the temperature of the carbon monoxide converter is too high. In this embodiment, calculation processing is performed by the following method.

[0050] Calculation: △V=(△T / T 设定 ) × V 导热油 =0.07 m / s.

[0051] In the formula: △T is the difference between the preset value and the measured value of the carbon monoxide converter temperature, △T=20℃; T 设定 is the preset value of carbon monoxide converter...

Abstract

The invention discloses a fault detection and processing method in a natural gas reforming hydrogen production system, comprising the following steps: 1. fault monitoring; 2. fault judgment; 3. fault processing; The fault can be automatically cleared when there is an abnormal temperature fault, a high sulfur content fault, or a low product hydrogen flow fault; when there is an abnormal raw material natural gas composition fault, and / or a hydrogen leakage fault, and / or a low product hydrogen purity fault, and / or perform safety shutdown when the primary reformed gas composition is abnormal, and / or the converted gas composition is abnormal, so as to protect the catalyst in the reformer, carbon monoxide converter, and desulfurization mechanism. The advantages of the present invention are: 1. It can automatically eliminate the faults with simple fault causes, avoiding shutdown, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of hydrogen production; 2. Implementing a safe shutdown for complex faults that require shutdown can effectively prevent the catalyst from being polluted. , to avoid economic loss.
