Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fractionation tower anti-corrosion, in particular to a fractionation tower top volatile line anti-corrosion equipment. Background Art
[0002] The fractionation tower is a tower-type vapor-liquid device for distillation, which is commonly used in petrochemical and coal chemical refining. The gas phase and liquid phase mixture at the top of the fractionation tower (naphtha hydrogenation, diesel hydrogenation, wax oil hydrogenation and residue oil hydrogenation, etc.) contains a large amount of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia acid and alkaline gas, and ammonium sulfide salts, chloride salts, ferrous sulfide and other corrosive media. Ammonium salts are easy to crystallize and adhere to the inner tube wall. In the long-term production process, they cause serious corrosion to equipment and pipelines. In addition, ammonium salts that are easy to scale will cause under-scale corrosion, resulting in accidents such as pipeline and equipment leakage.
[0003] An important anti-corrosion measure used in the top condensation system of the atmospheric and vacuum tower of the refinery mainly includes injection of ammonia, injection of corrosion inhibitor and injection of water, which is commonly known as "one decomposition and three injections". The use of these injections can effectively prevent the corrosion of the top system and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
[0004] Due to the deterioration of crude oil, the content of corrosive media in the tower top low temperature system increases, corrosion intensifies, and frequently causes leakage and failure of the heat exchanger. Existing anti-corrosion measures cannot effectively solve the corrosion of the tower top system. A distillation tower top oil and gas acid removal and anti-corrosion device is proposed to solve the corrosion of the tower top system. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a volatile line anti-corrosion device at the top of a fractionating tower to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a volatile line anti-corrosion equipment for the top of a distillation tower, comprising an acid removal skid and a tower top, an air injection pipe is embedded in the left side of the acid removal skid, an acid discharge pipe is embedded in the side of the acid removal skid away from the air injection pipe, a liquid injection pipe and an exhaust pipe are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the acid removal skid, the air injection pipe, the acid discharge pipe, the liquid injection pipe and the exhaust pipe are all provided with connecting flanges on one side, the air injection pipe is movably connected to a pipeline through the connecting flange, one side of the pipeline is fixedly connected to the tower top, the acid discharge pipe is movably connected to a reflux pipe through the connecting flange, the side of the reflux pipe away from the acid discharge pipe is connected to an external top reflux tank, an electromagnetic valve is arranged between the acid discharge pipe and the top reflux tank, and a water pump is arranged on one side of the electromagnetic valve.
[0007] Preferably, a condensate tank is provided in the acid removal skid, and a liquid injection pipe is fixedly connected to a liquid injection distributor in the condensate tank, and a plurality of nozzles are arranged at equal distances below the liquid injection distributor.
[0008] Preferably, a foam coalescing net is arranged on one side of the condensate tank close to the liquid injection distributor, and spoilers are arranged in an equidistant and staggered manner in the condensate tank.
[0009] Preferably, pipes are installed on the outer wall of the acid removal skid, and two groups of pipes are symmetrically arranged, and the pipes are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the acid removal skid.
[0010] Preferably, a control valve is provided on one side of the pipeline, the pipeline is connected to a condensate tank level gauge via a control valve flange, and a drain valve is provided below the condensate tank level gauge.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The device installs a horizontal deacidification skid in front of the No. 1 elbow of the volatile line to deacidify part of the oil and gas on the top of the fractionation tower. Before the gas phase returns to the heat exchanger, the liquid phase enters the reflux tank for liquid separation, and the gas is injected into the deacidification skid through the gas injection pipe. The gas will react with the moderator and neutralizer of the liquid injection pipe through the pipeline. The liquid injection pipe injects the liquid into the condensate tank and evenly distributes it through the liquid injection distributor. The nozzle sprays the liquid on the gas flow path to further remove the acidic components in the gas. In the condensate tank, the foam coalescing net further separates the foam in the gas and liquid mixture. The foam coalescing net helps to improve the separation efficiency of the liquid by promoting the aggregation and rupture of the foam, so that the liquid and gas can be separated more effectively, thereby reducing the content of the acidic components and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the system.
[0013] 2. The acid removal skid is connected to a condensate tank level gauge through a pipeline flange, and a control valve is provided between the condensate tank level gauge and the pipeline to monitor and control the liquid level of the condensate inside the acid removal skid. The feedback signal of the condensate tank level gauge is used to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. A drain valve is provided below the condensate tank level gauge to regularly remove dirt and sediment from the condensate tank.
[0014] 3. The treated liquid phase is pumped to the reflux pipe and enters the reflux tank for further liquid separation to ensure that the liquid is properly treated. The gas phase treated by the multi-stage spoiler returns to the heat exchanger through the exhaust pipe for subsequent treatment or recycling, which improves the overall treatment efficiency of the system. The device effectively reduces the acid content through the above measures, ensures the efficient separation of gas and liquid, and maintains the stability and operation efficiency of the system.
