Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an evaporator piping system. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of dilute acid, the dehydrated reflux material and the light phase material from the separator both enter the dilute acid pump inlet manifold and are then returned to the reactor via the pump, achieving material circulation and system balance. The temperature of the dehydrated reflux material is slightly higher than 72℃, which corrodes the dilute acid pump. Changes in the composition of the dehydrated reflux and separator materials can lead to unstable operation and malfunctions in the dilute acid pump, affecting production. In severe cases, it can cause a short-term shutdown of the acetic acid unit. The short operating cycle of the dilute acid pump necessitates overtime repairs after a malfunction; if both fail, the acetic acid unit will be shut down. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the evaporator piping device of the present invention includes a dehydration reflux input pipe and a light-weight reflux input pipe, and also includes an evaporator. An internal treatment tank is provided inside the evaporator. The dehydration reflux input pipe and the light-weight reflux input pipe are both connected to the internal treatment tank of the evaporator. The bottom of the internal treatment tank of the evaporator is also connected to a dehydration reflux output pipe and a light-weight reflux output pipe. The dehydration reflux input pipe is used for inputting dehydration reflux material, the light-weight reflux input pipe is used for inputting light-weight reflux material, the light-weight reflux output pipe is used for outputting light-weight reflux material to the mother liquor pump and then returning it to the reactor, and the dehydration reflux output pipe is used for outputting dehydration reflux material to the mother liquor pump and then returning it to the reactor.

[0004] Preferably, the bottom of the evaporator is connected to a steam supply pipe, and an exhaust valve is provided at the top of the evaporator.

[0005] Preferably, the bottom of the evaporator is also provided with a descaling pipe, which is used for draining wastewater.

A pressurization unit and a secondary heating unit are also installed on the pipe connected to the steam return output pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a heat exchange unit is also provided on the pipe connected to the steam reflux output pipe.

The outer sides of the first heat exchange chamber and the second heat exchange chamber are also wrapped with heat insulation material.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this invention, the dehydration reflux material is input into the dehydration reflux input pipe, the delighting reflux material is input into the light-weight reflux input pipe, the delighting reflux material is output into the light-weight reflux output pipe to the mother liquor pump and then back to the reactor, and the dehydration reflux output pipe is also output to the mother liquor pump and then back to the reactor. This invention adds dehydration reflux to the evaporator and light-weight reflux to the evaporator pipelines. When the dilute acid pump malfunctions, it can be put into operation at any time without affecting acetic acid production, avoiding significant load reduction or shutdown of the acetic acid unit. This invention also adds dehydration reflux to the evaporator and light-weight reflux to the evaporator pipelines. During daily production, the dilute acid pump can be kept on standby, extending its service life and saving maintenance costs.

[0009] During normal operation, the dehydrated water return to the evaporator and the deionized light oil return to the evaporator pipelines are in operation, while the dilute acid pump is off standby. During start-up and shutdown, the dilute acid pump is turned on and the new pipelines are in standby status. Attached Figure Description
