A pressure sensor and a first temperature sensor are arranged at the top of the stabilizer tower 2, and a second temperature sensor is arranged at the bottom of the stabilizer tower 2. A liquid level sensor is arranged in the stabilizer reflux drum 3 to monitor the interface level change in the stabilizer reflux drum 3. The feed control valve 402, the pressure sensor, the liquid level sensor, the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are all electrically connected to a controller; The stabilizer tower 2 and the stabilizer reflux drum 3 are connected through a stabilizer reflux drum feed pipeline 5. An air cooler on top of the stabilizer tower 501 and a cooler on top of the stabilizer tower 502 are arranged on the stabilizer reflux drum feed pipeline 5; The stabilizer reflux drum 3 communicates with the stabilizer reflux feed inlet 7 through a stabilizer reflux drum discharge pipeline 6. A liquid hydrocarbon discharge pipeline 14, a stabilizer reflux pump 601 and a reflux control valve 602 are arranged on the stabilizer reflux drum discharge pipeline 6. The reflux control valve 602 is electrically connected to the controller; A reboiler at the bottom of the stabilizer tower 8 and a stabilized gasoline outlet 9 are also connected to the bottom of the stabilizer tower 2. The stabilized gasoline outlet 9 is connected to a stabilized gasoline discharge pipeline 10; It also includes a first water injection pipeline 11 arranged on the stabilizer feed pipeline 4, a second water injection pipeline 12 arranged on the stabilizer reflux drum discharge pipeline 6 and a third water injection pipeline 13 arranged on the pipeline between the stabilizer tower 2 and the air cooler on top of the stabilizer tower 501; The first water injection pipeline 11 is arranged on the pipeline between the re - contact tank 1 and the stabilizer feed heat exchanger 401, the second water injection pipeline 12 is arranged before the reflux control valve 602, and the third water injection pipeline 13 is arranged on the pipeline between the stabilizer tower 2 and the air cooler on top of the stabilizer tower 501; Orifice plates are arranged on the first water injection pipeline 11, the second water injection pipeline 12 and the third water injection pipeline 13, and the aperture of the orifice on the orifice plate is 2 mm.

[0026] The reforming reaction product is mixed with the hydrogen at the outlet of the supercharger in the re-contact tank 1, and a high degree of separation of hydrogen and mixed components such as gasoline and liquefied gas is achieved in the re-contact tank 1. The separated gasoline, liquefied gas and other components enter the stabilization tower 2 after heat exchange through the stabilization tower feed heat exchanger 401 along the stabilization tower feed pipeline 4, and are efficiently separated through the tower plate in the stabilization tower 2. When the system operates normally, the tower top temperature is 60-65°C. The gas at the top of the stabilization tower 2 is condensed by the stabilization tower top air cooler 501 and the stabilization tower top cooler 502 and enters the stabilization tower reflux tank 3.

[0027] According to the explanation of the above-mentioned system and working process for online removal of ammonium salts on the trays of the stabilizing tower, a method for online removal of ammonium salts on the trays of the stabilizing tower is provided on the basis of the system for online removal of ammonium salts on the trays of the stabilizing tower. The removal of ammonium salts is carried out under the condition that the system is operating normally. The method for online removal of ammonium salts on the trays of the stabilizing tower is divided into two steps: intermittent water injection and continuous water injection:

[0028] 1) Intermittent water injection:

[0029] The pressure at the top of stabilizing tower 2 is released by adjusting the pressure control valve to release the pressure, so that the pressure at the top of stabilizing tower 2 drops to below 1.0Mpa. The bottom temperature of stabilizing tower 2 is controlled to drop to below 180°C by the reboiler 8 at the bottom of stabilizing tower 2. Water is injected into the tower plate of stabilizing tower 2 through the water injection pipeline 11. The water injection is carried out in stages for one minute each time. The top pressure of stabilizing tower 2 is closely monitored to prevent overpressure of stabilizing tower 2. If overpressure occurs, the water injection is stopped. The deoxygenated water injected through the water injection pipeline 11 flows into the stabilizing tower reflux tank 3 along the feed pipeline 5 of the stabilizing tower reflux tank. When the water level in the stabilizing tower reflux tank 3 reaches the boundary, the water is cut off through the water bag of the stabilizing tower reflux tank 3, and the water in the water bag of the stabilizing tower reflux tank 3 is sampled and analyzed to detect the ammonium salt content in the water. When the ammonium salt content is no longer increasing Stop water injection. It should be noted that after water injection, due to water vaporization, the pressure of the stabilization tower will increase or even exceed 1.30Mpa, causing overpressure risk. Therefore, before water injection, the pressure at the top of the tower is reduced to below 1.0Mpa, so that the pressure fluctuation will not lead to overpressure after water injection. If the top pressure of the stabilization tower 2 exceeds 1.30Mpa or the top temperature exceeds 70°C, stop water injection, and further water injection is performed when the temperature and pressure are controlled within a suitable range. With the accumulation of ammonium salts in the stabilization tower reflux tank 3, some ammonium salts may enter the stabilization tower reflux pump 601 along the stabilization tower reflux tank discharge pipeline 6, causing blockage and leading to the evacuation of the stabilization tower reflux pump 601. If the stabilization tower reflux pump 601 is evacuated, stop water injection.

[0030] 2) Continuous water injection:

[0031] a. Control the top pressure of the stabilizer tower 2 to drop below 1.0 Mpa and the bottom temperature of the stabilizer tower 2 to drop below 160 °C. Inject water into the trays of the stabilizer tower 2 through the first water injection pipeline 11. Ensure the pressure stability during the water injection process. If the pressure exceeds the limit, stop the water injection. The deaerated water injected through the first water injection pipeline 11 flows into the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3 along the feed pipeline 5 of the stabilizer tower reflux drum. When the water level in the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3 reaches the interface level, drain the water through the water pocket of the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3. Take a sample of the water in the water pocket of the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3 for analysis to detect the ammonium salt content in the water. Take a sample from the stable gasoline outlet 9 of the stabilizer tower 2 once every hour for analysis to check the impurity situation in the gasoline;

[0032] b. If the top pressure of the stabilizer tower 2 exceeds 1.25 Mpa or the top temperature exceeds 70 °C, stop the water injection; if the stabilizer tower reflux pump 601 experiences air extraction, stop the water injection. When the water level in the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3 reaches the interface level, stop the water injection through the first water injection pipeline 11 and inject water into the stabilizer tower 2 through the second water injection pipeline 12. Detect the chloride ion content in the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3. When the chloride ion content no longer rises, inject water into the air cooler at the top of the stabilizer tower 2 through the third water injection pipeline 13 to clean the ammonium salt in the internal tubes of the air cooler 501 at the top of the stabilizer tower;

[0033] c. Detect the exhaust gas volume at the top of the stabilizer tower 2. When the exhaust gas volume rises above 400 Nm 3 / h, stop the water injection through the second water injection pipeline 12 and the third water injection pipeline 13, and the system operates normally for 1 h;

[0034] d. Take a sample from the gasoline outlet of the stabilizer tower 2 for detection. When the C5 content in the gasoline product is less than 5% and it is qualified, stop washing the tower. If the product is still unqualified, repeat the above step 2).

[0035] During the above water injection process, the deaerated water pressure of the first water injection pipeline 11, the second water injection pipeline 12, and the third water injection pipeline 13 is greater than 1.5 MPa.

[0036] During the water injection process, the liquefied gas, gasoline, and water in the stabilizer tower 2 are mixed on the trays. The water will be dispersed to each tray in the tower along with the gasoline and liquefied gas. In this way, the water can fully contact the ammonium salt on the trays to achieve the purpose of dissolving the ammonium salt. Part of the water will go to the tower bottom with the gasoline and be sent out of the device through the stable gasoline outlet 9 and the stable gasoline discharge pipeline 10; another part of the water will enter the stabilizer tower reflux drum 3 together with the liquefied gas. The water is cut out from the bottom water pocket of the stabilizer tower reflux drum, and the liquefied gas is sent back as reflux or out of the device.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail by reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions to the embodiments of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should fall within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
