Description

[0002] The petroleum continuous coking process is a continuous coking process, which is characterized by the fact that after the raw oil is heated to a high temperature in the heating furnace, it continuously enters the coking tower for reaction, the generated coke continuously accumulates in the tower, and the gas and liquid products are continuously discharged from the top of the tower for subsequent treatment. This process can achieve efficient and continuous production and improve resource utilization.

[0003] Continuous coking of petroleum requires the use of a coke tower. In the coking tower, the crude oil undergoes deep cracking and condensation reactions under high temperature conditions to produce products such as gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and petroleum coke. When the coke in a coking tower accumulates to a certain height, it is switched to another coking tower to continue the coking reaction. The coke tower filled with coke is cooled, purged and hydraulically decoked to remove the coke in the tower and prepare for the next coking operation. During this decoking process, the bottom cover of the coke tower is opened or closed by manual pushing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0045] A continuous coking process comprises the following steps:

[0046] S1. Raw material preparation: Select suitable heavy petroleum residue as raw material and perform pretreatment;

[0047] S2, heating and reaction: the crude oil in S1 is heated to a high temperature of about 500°C by a heating furnace, and then enters a coking tower; in the coking tower, the crude oil undergoes deep cracking and condensation reactions under high temperature conditions to generate products such as gas, gasoline, diesel, wax oil and petroleum coke;

[0048] S3, Coke accumulation and switching: When the coke in a coking tower accumulates to a certain height, it will switch to another coking tower to continue the coking reaction after 24 hours; the coking tower full of coke will be cooled, purged and hydraulically decoked to remove the coke in the tower and prepare for the next coking operation;

[0049] S4. Product separation and processing: The gas and liquid products discharged from the top of the coking tower are cooled, separated and processed to obtain pure petroleum products; while the solid petroleum coke is recovered and stored through steps such as solid-liquid separation.

[0050] Working principle: When opening the cover 9, the output end of the cylinder 113 is controlled to extend upward and push the top plate 111 upward, and then the clamping plate 112 will not press the flange 8, and then the driving motor 107 drives the driving gear 106 to rotate, and the driving gear 106 drives the auxiliary gear 105 and the sleeve 104 to rotate, and then the side plate 108, the slide bar 110, the top plate 111, the clamping plate 112 and the cylinder 113 are controlled to rotate ninety degrees. During this process, the flange 8 and the cover 9 will not be locked;

[0051] Then, the cover 9 is pushed down along the axis of the drive shaft 17 by the push spring 22. During this process, the flange 8 and the cover 9 are no longer in contact with each other. Then, the servo motor 16 is driven to rotate the drive shaft 17 180 degrees, and the cover 9 is completely offset from the flange 8 (refer to Figure 6-7 ), this process realizes the automatic opening of the cover 9, and no manpower is required to rotate and open it, thereby improving the operating efficiency.

[0052] When discharging petroleum coke, one end of the guide plate 11 is pushed upward by the hydraulic rod 13 , and the guide plate 11 becomes inclined, and the petroleum coke enters the storage device along the inclined direction of the guide plate 11 .

[0053] When the cover 9 is closed, the servo motor 16 is driven to rotate the cover 9 back to its original position, and the cover 9 touches the pressure sensor 24, indicating that the cover 9 has rotated to its original position, and the servo motor 16 can stop running;

[0054] By driving the motor 107, the driving gear 106, the auxiliary gear 105, the sleeve 104 and the side plate 108 can be rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees. After the side plate 108 is rotated, it is just pressed against the bottom of the L-shaped limit strip 103. After the top plate 111 and the clamping plate 112 are rotated, they are just located above the flange 8. Then, the top plate 111 and the clamping plate 112 are moved downward by the cylinder 113. The clamping plate 112 can lock the flange 8 and the cover 9 to ensure that the two are tightly connected without leakage.
