[0018] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the polyolefin device reactor catalyst feed system of the utility model embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The utility model will be described further in detail below in combination with the embodiment of the accompanying drawings.
[0020] In the specification and claims of the utility model, the terms expressing direction, such as "front", "back", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "side", "top", "bottom" and the like, are used to describe various example structural parts and elements of the utility model, but these terms are only used for the purpose of convenient description, and are determined based on the example orientation shown in the drawings. Since the disclosed embodiments of the utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms expressing direction are only as description and should not be regarded as limitation, for example, "upper", "lower" are not necessarily limited to the direction opposite or consistent with the direction of gravity.
[0021] Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the polyolefin device reactor catalyst feed system of the utility model is shown. A polyolefin device reactor catalyst feed system includes a reactor 1, a feed connection pipe 11, a triethylaluminum delivery pipeline 2 and an ethylene back flushing pipe.
[0022] The side of the reactor 1 is provided with a catalyst injection port 10, and the catalyst injection port 10 has an outwardly extending feed connection pipe 11, which is generally horizontally extended and is provided with a corresponding control valve.
[0023] The triethylaluminum feed line 2 originates from the triethylaluminum storage device and connects to the feed inlet 11 on the reactor 1. The connection point between the triethylaluminum feed line 2 and the feed inlet 11 is located near the catalyst injection port 10. Specifically, the triethylaluminum feed line 2 is equipped with a diaphragm pump 21 for transporting triethylaluminum, and a first monitoring device 22 for detecting the outlet pressure of the diaphragm pump 21 is also provided. The triethylaluminum feed line 2 is generally vertically extended, with its lower end connected to the feed inlet 11. The triethylaluminum feed line 2 and the feed inlet 11 are connected by socket welding to eliminate flow dead zones at the pipeline connection point.
[0024] The ethylene backflush line 3 is connected to the feed pipe 11. The connection between the ethylene backflush line 3 and the feed pipe 11 is located upstream of the connection between the triethylaluminum feed line 2 and the feed pipe 11. The ethylene gas transported through the ethylene backflush line 3 can carry the triethylaluminum transported from the triethylaluminum feed line 2 to the feed pipe 11 into the reactor 1.
[0025] The ethylene backflush pipeline 3 should preferably be connected to the feed inlet pipe 11 in a gradually curved transition manner. In this embodiment, the ethylene backflush pipeline 3 includes a vertically extending main pipeline 30 and a transition pipeline connected to the main pipeline 30 and inclined to one side relative to the main pipeline 30. The lower end of the transition pipeline is connected to the feed inlet pipe 11. Similarly, the transition pipeline and the second pipeline segment 111 are also connected by socket welding. More specifically, the section of pipeline on the ethylene backflush pipeline 3 used to connect to the feed inlet pipe 11 is referred to as the first pipeline segment 31 (i.e., the aforementioned transition pipeline), and the section of pipeline on the feed inlet pipe 11 used to connect to the ethylene backflush pipeline 3 is referred to as the second pipeline segment 111.
[0026] The angle between the main line 30 and the main line 30 is an obtuse angle (i.e., Figure 1 The angle between the material conveying direction in the first pipeline segment 31 and the material conveying direction in the second pipeline segment 111 is an acute angle, specifically denoted as A, with a value range of 0° < A ≤ 45°. In this embodiment, the first pipeline segment 31 of the ethylene backflushing pipeline 3 and the second pipeline segment 111 of the feed inlet 11 are designed with an acute angle. This increases the flow velocity of ethylene gas within the pipeline, eliminates dead zones, prevents the polymerization reaction between triethylaluminum and ethylene, effectively enhances the pressure conveying effect of triethylaluminum, and eliminates the safety hazards caused by pipeline blockage.
[0027] Through the analysis of the production operation data, it is found that the triethyl aluminum injection state of reactor 1 is related to the parameters such as the pressure of reactor 1, the ethylene backflushing pressure, the ethylene backflushing flow, the triethyl aluminum pump outlet pressure, the triethyl aluminum pump outlet flow, etc., and the specific conditions are as follows: 1. When the pressure of reactor 1 is controlled stably, the ethylene backflushing pressure is inversely proportional to the triethyl aluminum pump outlet pressure, that is, when the ethylene backflushing pressure is increased, the triethyl aluminum pump outlet pressure is correspondingly reduced. 2. Since the diaphragm pump 21 is a positive displacement pump, its theoretical flow is fixed when the stroke is unchanged. However, in actual operation, when the triethyl aluminum pump outlet pressure is increased, the resistance of the fluid flowing in the pipeline is increased, which leads to the intensification of the liquid backflow and other situations, so that the actual flow of the triethyl aluminum pump outlet is reduced; on the contrary, when the triethyl aluminum pump outlet pressure is reduced, the flow resistance is reduced, and the actual triethyl aluminum pump outlet flow is increased, and the two are inversely proportional. 3. Under the condition that the working condition is unchanged, the triethyl aluminum pump outlet flow is proportional to the slurry activity of the catalyst, therefore, under the condition that the pressure of reactor 1 and the triethyl aluminum flow are constant, when the pump outlet pressure of the diaphragm pump 21 is increased, in order to prevent the blockage of the injection port 10, the backflushing ethylene pressure or the backflushing ethylene flow can be increased. Specifically, the ethylene backflushing pipeline 3 is provided with an adjusting valve 300 for adjusting the ethylene flow, in order to realize the automatic adjustment of the adjusting valve 300 of the ethylene backflushing pipeline 3 according to the actual working condition, and effectively solve the blockage problem of the catalyst injection port 10 of reactor 1 in time, the first monitoring device 22 and the adjusting valve 300 are linked for control, so that when the outlet pressure of the diaphragm pump 21 is increased, the opening degree of the adjusting valve 300 is increased. More specifically, the maximum flow of the adjusting valve 300 of the embodiment is changed from the original design of 600 kg / h to 1000 kg / h, because the valve opening degree of the adjusting valve 300 exceeds 80% when the original device is in normal production, and the upward adjustment margin is insufficient, the utility model is reformed, and the valve opening degree of the adjusting valve 300 is kept at 40% after the reform, which has a large adjustment margin, so that the triethyl aluminum can be smoothly injected into the reactor 1, and the safe and stable operation of the device is ensured.
