Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air separation equipment technology, specifically to a device for extracting nitrogen from air separation waste gas. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the three main nitrogen production processes capable of large-scale nitrogen production are cryogenic nitrogen production, PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) nitrogen production, and membrane separation nitrogen production. Cryogenic nitrogen production, based on the principle of low-temperature distillation, has relatively simple equipment operation and produces nitrogen products with a purity ≥99.999% and high reliability, thus enjoying widespread application. The main equipment for cryogenic nitrogen production includes: an air compressor, a precooling unit, a molecular sieve adsorber, an electric heater, a cold box, a turbine expander, a main heat exchanger, a distillation column, and a condenser-evaporator.

[0003] Oxygen or rare gases such as neon generate crude nitrogen waste gas during air separation. Directly discharging this crude nitrogen would waste resources. Current technologies often use this crude nitrogen waste gas as a raw material to produce high-purity nitrogen. Crude nitrogen contains trace amounts of dust particles, which need to be removed to ensure the smooth progress of the crude nitrogen purification process and the safe operation of downstream equipment. Before being fed into the air compressor, the raw crude nitrogen gas must first pass through a mechanical filter for filtration and purification to remove dust and other impurities. After filtration, the dust content should not exceed 1 mg / m³. Current technologies mostly use multi-layer filter cloths to filter the crude nitrogen. During filtration, dust adheres to the filter surface, so the filter needs to be cleaned and replaced regularly. To improve the filtration efficiency of crude nitrogen, current technologies typically use two sets of filtration equipment operating in parallel. When filter cleaning and maintenance are required, one filtration unit can be shut down. However, cleaning the filter requires manual operation, wasting manpower, and the installation of the filter is also relatively cumbersome.

[0004] The filtered and purified crude nitrogen gas is compressed to approximately 5 bara by an oil-injected screw air compressor, and then fed into a downstream pre-purifier. The pre-purifier, filled with molecular sieves of various sizes and activated alumina, further removes trace amounts of moisture, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, and other impurities from the compressed air, achieving the process safety goal of purifying the crude nitrogen gas and ensuring the safe operation of downstream equipment. The pre-purifier utilizes the temperature-switching adsorption principle of the molecular sieves: low-temperature adsorption and high-temperature desorption. However, existing purifiers suffer from slow filtration efficiency due to the small contact area between the gas and the sieve. To improve filtration efficiency, current technologies often use single-layer adsorption sieves, resulting in poor adsorption effects. The pre-purified crude nitrogen gas is then separated and deoxygenated by distillation to obtain high-purity nitrogen gas. Summary of the Invention

The outer side of the wear-resistant plate 317 is provided with a silicone sealing layer.

[0080] Specifically, the combination of the 317 wear-resistant plate and the silicone sealing layer can effectively prevent nitrogen leakage during the filtration process.

[0081] Furthermore, the output shaft of the stepper motor 311 is provided with a locking block, and the lower end face of the filter screen protective cover is provided with a locking groove 313 corresponding to the locking block.

[0082] Specifically, the combination of the slot 313 and the card block facilitates the quick snap-fit ​​installation of the filter screen protective cover.

[0083] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the outer side of the rectangular frame plate 662 are covered with sealing strips.

[0084] Specifically, the sealing strip design effectively prevents air leakage after the spill cover is properly sealed.

[0085] Furthermore, the flexible conveyor belt 664 has gear grooves 667 at both the front and rear ends of its inner side. The output shaft of the stepper motor 622 is connected to a drive shaft 665 via a coupling. A drive gear 666 is installed on the drive shaft 665, and the drive gear 666 meshes with the gear groove 667.

[0086] Specifically, the arrangement of the transmission gear 666 and the gear groove 667 can effectively prevent the flexible conveyor belt 664 from slipping during rotation.

[0087] In use: The nitrogen gas that needs to be purified enters the interior of the electrically controlled three-way valve 2 through the main air inlet pipe 1. The electrically controlled three-way valve 2 controls the airflow to enter the interior of the sealed outer cover 38 through the air inlet end 32. First, the dust-laden gas is introduced into the strip filter screen 318 on the left end through the left end air guide port 3102. The strip filter screen 318 filters the dust in the gas and leaves it in the mesh. After the gas is filtered and dust-removed, it passes through the air guide channel 3153 and another strip filter screen 318 on the right end, and then enters the next filtration device through the right end air guide port 3102. The nitrogen gas after three-stage filtration is discharged through the air outlet end 37 and enters the downstream treatment device.

[0088] When the strip filter screen 318 needs cleaning, the stepper motor 311 drives the filter screen protective cover to rotate at a set angle, so that the strip filter screen 318 that needs to be blown rotates to the front of the air blowing hole 3152. At this time, a small amount of nitrogen gas after dust removal is accelerated by the high-pressure pump and sprayed out from the air blowing hole 3152, spraying onto the strip filter screen 318. The dust on the strip filter screen 318 enters the dustproof filter bag 31 through the guide pipe 39 with the airflow, and the dustproof filter bag 31 filters and collects the dust.

[0089] When the strip filter screen 318 needs to be replaced, the stepper motor 21 drives the sealing ball 24 to rotate 30 degrees. At this time, one of the air outlets of the electric three-way valve 2 is closed. The sealing end cover 33 is opened by rotating the handle 34. Then the sealing cover 314 is removed, the filter screen protection cover is pulled out, and the strip filter screen 318 is removed and replaced. After that, the filter screen protection cover is reinstalled.

[0090] After dust removal, the nitrogen gas enters the overflow cover 63 through the flexible connector inlet 61. The impurity gas is adsorbed by the adsorption net 661. The purified gas is discharged to the next process through the flexible connector inlet 67. After the adsorption net 661 is saturated, the electronically controlled three-way valve 623 controls the corresponding air inlet to close. At this time, the electronically controlled telescopic rod retracts to lift the overflow cover. The external vacuum pump connected to the protective cover 69 starts to evacuate the inside of the protective cover 69. Then, the stepper motor 622 starts to drive the filter conveyor belt 66 to rotate and move the next adjacent adsorption net 661 to the corresponding adsorption station. The electronically controlled telescopic rod extends to press the overflow cover tightly onto the rectangular frame plate 662. At this time, the gas supply can be quickly turned on. The two symmetrical passivation and impurity removal mechanisms alternately perform the above steps.

[0091] When the adsorption net 661 moves to the overflow cover 610, the overflow cover 610 heats the adsorption net 661. After heating, the impurity gas adsorbed on the adsorption net 661 is extracted through the vacuum tube 613. When the adsorption net 661 moves to the overflow cover 615, the overflow cover 615 and the overflow cover 619 cool the upper and lower surfaces of the adsorption net 661 to increase the adsorption capacity of the adsorption net 661. The pre-purified crude nitrogen gas can be separated and deoxygenated by distillation to obtain high-purity nitrogen gas.

[0092] It is worth noting that the filter screen protective cover is sealed to the inner side of the hollow cylindrical tube 3101.

[0093] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
