Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of technology, and more particularly to a loop fixed-bed reactor system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of chemical reaction engineering, the development of reactor systems has always been a key factor driving progress in chemical production. With the continuous development of the chemical industry, the demand for efficient, stable reactor systems capable of adapting to diverse reaction requirements is increasing. Advanced reactor systems can improve reaction efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance product quality, thereby bringing significant economic and environmental benefits to chemical enterprises. They not only help promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional chemical industries but also provide strong technical support for the development of emerging chemical fields.

[0003] In traditional chemical production, various techniques have been conventionally employed to achieve chemical reaction processes. For simple reactions, single-stage fixed-bed reactors are commonly used due to their relatively simple structure and ability to meet basic reaction requirements. For reactions with more demanding conditions, multi-stage series fixed-bed reactors are employed, gradually altering reaction conditions to accelerate the reaction. Fixed-bed reactors with internal heat exchangers are also used to control reaction temperature. Additionally, batch reactors are employed due to their excellent mixing properties, ensuring thorough contact between reactants. These techniques are widely used in chemical production, to a certain extent meeting the needs of different types of chemical reactions.

[0004] However, traditional reactor systems have significant drawbacks. Conventional fixed-bed reactor systems often struggle to adapt flexibly to complex reaction processes, the transitions between different reaction stages are not smooth enough, and efficient material circulation and heat exchange cannot be achieved, which greatly limits the improvement of reaction efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a loop fixed-bed reactor system to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] This invention provides a fixed-bed loop reactor system, comprising: multiple sets of primary loop reactors and multiple sets of secondary loop reactors. The primary loop reactors and the secondary loop reactors have the same structure and are connected in series via reactor outlet pipelines. Each primary loop reactor includes a fixed-bed reaction unit, a circulating pump, and an external heat exchanger. The fixed-bed reaction unit, the circulating pump, the external heat exchanger, the external heat exchanger inlet pipeline, and the circulating pipeline assembly are connected.

[0007] Beneficial effects: The reactants enter the primary loop reactor for reaction and transfer. The circulating pump rotates at high speed through the impeller to provide power for material circulation. It is fluidly connected to the circulating mixing system through pipelines. The external heat exchanger is independent of the reaction unit and is used to exchange heat with the circulating materials. The forced circulation flow mechanism driven by the Venturi gas-liquid mixer and the circulating pump fundamentally solves the mixing and mass transfer efficiency problem of traditional fixed bed reactors.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed-bed reaction unit includes a reactor shell, on which are provided an inlet for the reactant, a gas loop outlet, a gas loop inlet, a fixed-bed reaction unit outlet, and a catalyst loading inlet. Inside the reactor shell are provided a Venturi gas-liquid mixer, a gas-liquid mixing diffusion tube, a catalyst basket, a jacketed fluid channel, a catalyst-filled fixed bed, and a gas collection area. The bottom of the reactor shell is provided with a catalyst loading outlet, which is connected to the catalyst-filled fixed bed. The inlet for the reactant is connected to the catalyst-filled fixed bed, the catalyst loading inlet is connected to the catalyst basket, the fixed-bed reaction unit outlet is connected to the jacketed fluid channel, the gas loop outlet and the gas loop inlet are respectively connected to the gas collection area, and the gas loop inlet is connected to the gas-liquid mixing diffusion tube through the Venturi gas-liquid mixer.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The gas-liquid mixing diffuser of the Venturi gas-liquid mixer extends to the bottom of the catalyst basket inside the fixed bed. The fluid passes through it and enters the jacketed fluid channel. The fluid undergoes gas-liquid separation, and the final reactant liquid flows out of the fixed bed reaction unit through the outlet of the fixed bed reaction unit and flows into the inlet pipe of the external heat exchanger. The fixed bed reactor is equipped with a catalyst loading inlet at the top and a catalyst loading outlet at the bottom for loading and unloading the catalyst.

[0011] Beneficial effects: High-speed liquid ensures that the gas is broken into microbubbles, enhancing mass transfer; short residence time suppresses side reactions; and a wide gas flow rate range adapts to different processes such as hydrogenation and oxidation.

[0012] Preferably, the external heat exchanger is provided with a cold / hot medium inlet and a cold / hot medium outlet, and the circulation pipeline assembly is provided with a liquid circulation loop flow meter.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The inlet and outlet of the hot and cold medium improve the heat exchange efficiency of the external heat exchanger, and the liquid circulation loop flow meter monitors the flow rate in the circulation pipeline assembly in real time.

[0015] Beneficial effects: A control valve is installed on the outlet pipeline of the primary reactor to regulate the flow rate; a back pressure valve is installed at the outlet of the secondary reactor to maintain the system pressure. The back pressure valve ensures a high-pressure environment for the secondary reactor, adapts to the needs of series reactions, and allows for precise flow rate regulation, ensuring material balance between multiple stages.

[0016] Preferably, the catalyst basket is a cylindrical shape with a sealed bottom, and the top and upper side walls are equipped with filters for fixing catalyst particles but allowing liquid and gas to pass through, with the linear velocity of the liquid in the catalyst basket being greater than 0.5 m / s.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The filter screen fixes the catalyst and prevents particle loss, allows gas and liquid to pass through, and high-speed linear flushing prevents local coking or blockage and suppresses dead zones.

[0018] Preferably, a liquid circulation loop flow meter and a gas circulation loop flow meter are provided on the circulation pipeline assembly between the external heat exchanger and the Venturi gas-liquid mixer.

[0019] Beneficial effects: Simultaneous installation of liquid flow meters and gas flow meters on the circulation pipeline monitors the gas-liquid two-phase flow, enables real-time control of the gas-liquid ratio, provides data support for optimizing mixing efficiency, provides immediate alarm for abnormal flow, facilitates fault diagnosis, and ensures system safety.

[0020] Preferably, the interlayer fluid channel is an annular fluid channel located between the catalyst basket and the reactor shell, with a channel gap of 0.5-15 mm.

[0021] Beneficial effects: The jacketed fluid channel encloses the catalyst basket, guiding the fluid to flow along the reactor shell. The narrow slit design forces the fluid to be evenly distributed, eliminating the wall effect and creating a uniform flow field. The thin fluid layer facilitates heat exchange with the shell, enhancing heat transfer. The compact structure saves reactor space.

[0022] Preferably, the primary loop reactor includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the circulating pump, the liquid circulating loop flow meter, and the gas loop flow meter.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The controller is electrically connected to the circulating pump, the liquid circulating loop flow meter, and the gas loop flow meter to form a control loop; the controller receives signals from the liquid circulating loop flow meter and the gas loop flow meter, and adjusts the liquid loop flow by controlling the circulating pump and controls the gas loop flow to achieve gas-liquid mixing regulation.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. High-efficiency heat transfer: The external heat exchanger has independent temperature control, avoiding temperature gradients within the reactor;

[0026] 2. Enhanced mass transfer: Forced circulation improves the contact efficiency between reactants and catalyst;

[0040] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Two or more primary loop reactors 34 and secondary loop reactors 28 are connected in series through reactor outlet pipes 25. The reactants enter the primary loop reactors 34 and secondary loop reactors 28 to achieve continuous cascade reaction. Each reactor is equipped with a material inlet and outlet, which can realize online raw material replenishment and material sampling functions in each reactor. The reactants enter the primary loop reactor 34 for reaction and transfer. The circulation pump 2 is used to provide material circulation power through high-speed impeller rotation. It is fluidly connected to the circulation mixing system through pipeline. The external heat exchanger 3 is independent of the reaction unit and is used to exchange heat with the circulating material. The forced circulation flow mechanism driven by the Venturi gas-liquid mixer 4 and the circulation pump 2 fundamentally solves the problems of mixing mass transfer efficiency, internal heat transfer and residence time of traditional fixed bed reactors. The rapid circulation of the circulation pump 2 and the Venturi gas-liquid mixer 4 achieve an exponential improvement in mixing effect and heat transfer effect.
