Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of safety of pressure-bearing equipment in petrochemical and chemical industries, and in particular to a method, equipment, medium, and product for quantitatively assessing the risk of erosion damage to pressure-bearing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In petrochemical and chemical pressure equipment, there is often a multiphase flow erosion and corrosion coupling mechanism. For example, in the black ash water system of a coal gasification unit, acidic water and coal powder erosion occur, and in the quenching system of a methanol-to-olefins unit, acidic water and solid particles such as catalysts and metal fragments cause local damage with uncertainty, making it difficult to quantitatively assess the risk of erosion and corrosion coupling damage.
[0003] Currently, there is little research on risk assessment methods for erosion-corrosion coupled damage, both domestically and internationally, and existing methods are not applicable to the petrochemical and chemical industries. Most relevant risk assessment methods abroad originate from the oil and gas extraction and transportation sector, and largely establish erosion-corrosion coupled risk assessment methods by studying erosion-corrosion damage in simple sand and water environments. A typical example is the semi-quantitative erosion damage assessment method in the DNV GL-RP-O501 standard, "Managing sand production and erosion," which classifies the probability of erosion failure into six levels based on fluid flow velocity and assesses the acceptability of risk by combining the object's daily management level and different limiting requirements, thus classifying it into high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk categories. The API 581 standard, "Risk-Based Inspection," includes a method for quantitative assessment of localized damage, but it lacks a predictive model for the coupling effect of erosion and corrosion, as well as an assessment algorithm based on damage morphology. The Lloyd's Register API assessment software also has an erosion-corrosion damage module, but it is mostly applicable to risk prediction within liquefied natural gas extraction and transportation systems, and it is difficult to examine the coupled damage patterns of corrosion and erosion. In China, the assessment of erosion and corrosion damage risks remains at the level of qualitative prediction, and is mostly based on the summary of field experience. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0054] This invention is the first of its kind in the petrochemical industry to address the multiphase corrosion and erosion coupling effects in complex pressure vessels and industrial pipelines. It proposes a method for quantitatively assessing local damage rates, state propagation, and failure risks by considering the competition and synergistic acceleration between particle erosion and corrosion. This solves the problem of difficulty in quantifying and extrapolating the risk of erosion-corrosion coupling damage in complex environments, and provides support for setting safety boundaries and risk prevention and control of erosion-corrosion coupling damage in pressure equipment.
[0055] The method for quantitatively assessing the risk of erosion damage to pressure equipment provided in this invention can be applied to, for example... Figure 1In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network. A data storage system can store the data that server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be set up independently, integrated into server 104, or placed in the cloud or on other servers. Terminal 102 can send the damage form of the device to server 104. After receiving the damage form, server 104 calculates a local / uniform thinning factor based on the damage form; and calculates a device correction coefficient based on the local / uniform thinning factor, general condition factor, mechanical factor, and process factor; the general condition factor, mechanical factor, and process factor are obtained according to API 581-2016 or GB / T26610.4-2022 standards; and calculates the erosion corrosion failure probability based on the device correction coefficient, management system evaluation coefficient, average failure probability of similar equipment, and excess defect influence coefficient; the management system evaluation coefficient, average failure probability of similar equipment, and excess defect influence coefficient are obtained according to API 581-2016 or GB / T The leakage consequence area is calculated according to standard 26610.4-2022. This leakage consequence area includes both static and dynamic data areas. Based on the leakage consequence area, the erosion corrosion failure consequence is determined. This erosion corrosion failure consequence includes both static and dynamic data quantitative assessments. A two-dimensional risk matrix is established based on the erosion corrosion failure probability and the erosion corrosion failure consequence. This two-dimensional risk matrix is used for real-time quantitative assessment of erosion risk. Server 104 can feed back the obtained two-dimensional risk matrix to terminal 102. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the method for quantitatively assessing the erosion damage risk of pressure equipment can also be implemented separately by server 104 or terminal 102. For example, terminal 102 can directly perform risk quantitative assessment of the equipment's damage form, or server 104 can obtain the equipment's damage form from the data storage system and perform risk quantitative assessment of the equipment's damage form.
[0056] The terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various desktop computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices can include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart in-vehicle devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can include smartwatches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The server 104 can be implemented using a standalone server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers, or it can be a cloud server.
[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, a method for quantitatively assessing the risk of erosion damage to pressure equipment is provided. This method is executed by computer equipment, specifically by a terminal or server alone, or by both a terminal and a server. In this embodiment of the invention, the method is applied to... Figure 1 Taking server 104 as an example, the explanation includes the following steps S1 to S7. Wherein:
[0058] S1: Determine the damage type of the equipment; the damage type includes: uniform damage and local damage.
[0059] S2: Calculate the local / uniform thinning factor based on the damage type.
[0060] S3: Calculate the equipment correction coefficient based on the local / uniform thinning factor, general condition factor, mechanical factor, and process factor; the general condition factor, mechanical factor, and process factor are obtained according to API 581-2016 or GB / T26610.4-2022 standards.
[0061] S4: The probability of failure due to scouring corrosion is calculated based on the equipment correction coefficient, management system evaluation coefficient, average failure probability of similar equipment, and influence coefficient of defects exceeding the standard; the management system evaluation coefficient, average failure probability of similar equipment, and influence coefficient of defects exceeding the standard are obtained according to API 581-2016 or GB / T26610.4-2022 standards.
[0062] S5: Calculate the leakage consequence area; the leakage consequence area includes: the failure consequence area of static data and the failure consequence area of dynamic data.
[0063] S6: Determine the erosion corrosion failure consequences based on the leakage consequence area; the erosion corrosion failure consequences include: quantitative assessment of failure consequences based on static data and quantitative assessment of failure consequences based on dynamic data.
[0064] S7: Based on the probability of erosion corrosion failure and the consequences of erosion corrosion failure, a two-dimensional risk matrix diagram is established; the two-dimensional risk matrix diagram is used for real-time quantitative assessment of erosion risk.
[0065] By implementing steps S1 to S7 above, this invention provides a quantitative assessment of the possibility and consequences of equipment failure caused by scouring corrosion. It considers the competition and synergistic acceleration of local damage rates, state expansion, and failure risk quantification methods between particle scouring and corrosion competition and synergistic acceleration. This solves the problem of difficulty in quantifying and extrapolating the risk of coupled scouring corrosion damage in complex environments, and provides support for setting safety boundaries and preventing risks associated with coupled scouring corrosion damage in pressure equipment.
[0066] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, step S1 specifically includes:
[0067] S101: Determine the effective area of the equipment; the effective area includes: corrosion-dominant area, scouring-dominant area, and scouring-corrosion synergistic area.
[0068] S102: Determine the damage type of the equipment based on the affected area.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, this invention provides a quantitative assessment of the likelihood and consequences of equipment failure caused by erosion corrosion. A two-dimensional risk matrix is established based on the likelihood and consequences of failure, classifying risk levels as high, medium-high, medium, and low. Regarding the likelihood of erosion corrosion failure, the dominant mechanism needs to be identified, boundaries identified, and demarcated. A new method is proposed: an engineering prediction model for erosion corrosion rate and a prediction model for the local damage propagation rate of erosion corrosion are used to predict the maximum erosion location and the damage morphology propagation rate, respectively, thus extrapolating the likelihood of erosion corrosion failure within future operating cycles. Regarding the consequences of erosion corrosion failure, different leakage models are selected based on the type of medium. The calculation of the leakage consequence area based on static data requires theoretical calculation in conjunction with the failure frequency and leakage model. The calculation of the leakage consequence area based on dynamic data requires calculation in conjunction with the prediction model for the local damage propagation rate of erosion corrosion. The magnitude of the consequences of erosion corrosion failure is quantitatively assessed by calculating the medium area consequences (leakage toxicity consequences, combustion and explosion consequences), economic consequences, etc., after failure.
[0070] The expression for the engineering prediction model of erosion corrosion rate is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] In the formula, R erosion The erosion weight loss rate of the sample is expressed in kg·m. -2 ·s -1 K is the material constant, with units of (m·s). -1 ) n1 f(α) is a function of the impact angle; for ductile materials, see formula (2), or it can be determined experimentally; ε pack For close-packed volume fraction, spherical particles typically have a volume fraction of 0.63; ε s d represents the solid volume fraction; p ε represents the particle size; cor R is the volume fraction of the corrosive medium; v is the particle impact velocity, m / s; n1 is the velocity factor under erosion corrosion, which is generally between 2 and 4 for simple erosion, and needs to be experimentally calibrated for the coupled effect of erosion and corrosion; n2 is the corrosion factor, describing the synergistic acceleration effect of the coupled effect of erosion and corrosion, which is generally n2≤0, and needs to be experimentally calibrated according to the corrosion mechanism; cρs is the radius of curvature of the bend, m; D is the equivalent diameter of the erosion zone, m; ρs is the particle density, kg / m³. 3 ;ρ face The density of the metal wall is kg / m³. 3 α is the structure correction factor.
[0073] The expression for the prediction model of the local damage propagation rate of erosion corrosion is as follows:
[0074]
[0075] Where Δx is the local damage propagation rate along the main flow direction, mm / a; Δy is the local damage propagation rate circumferentially along the main flow direction, mm / a; Δz is the local damage propagation rate perpendicular to the main flow direction, mm / a; v is the particle impact velocity, m / s; ε s ε is the solid volume fraction; cor Δx represents the volume fraction of the corrosive medium; f(·) is the thinning damage propagation function; Δx, Δy, and Δz need to be determined experimentally based on the material.
[0076] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the damage is uniform, step S2 specifically includes:
[0077] A1: Determine whether the damaged structure is a special structure to obtain the first judgment result.
[0078] A2: If the first judgment result is negative, then determine the uniform thinning factor according to API 581-2016 or GB / T 26610.4-2022 standards.
[0079] A3: If the first judgment result is yes, then calculate the structural correction factor based on the radius of curvature of the elbow.
[0080] A4: The uniform thinning factor is calculated based on the structure correction factor.
[0081] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the damage is localized, step S2 specifically includes:
[0082] B1: Determine whether the damaged structure is a special structure to obtain the second judgment result.
[0083] B2: If the second judgment result is negative, the critical wall thickness value for failure is calculated based on the pit assessment method GB 19624-2004 and the applicable evaluation method GB 35013-2018 or API RP 579-1-2021, and the maximum value of the critical wall thickness value for failure is recorded.
[0084] B3: Determine the strength correction factor based on the scouring corrosion local damage propagation rate prediction model, the scouring corrosion thinning severity index, and the maximum value of the failure critical wall thickness; the scouring corrosion local damage propagation rate prediction model is used to predict the local damage morphology propagation rate over time; the scouring corrosion thinning severity index is calculated based on time, scouring corrosion rate, and thickness data.
[0085] B4: Determine the local thinning factor based on the intensity correction factor.
[0086] B5: If the second judgment result is yes, then calculate the structural correction factor based on the curvature radius of the elbow.
[0087] B6: Based on the pitting assessment method GB 19624-2004 and the applicable evaluation method GB 35013-2018 or APIRP 579-1-2021, calculate the critical wall thickness value for failure and record the maximum value of the critical wall thickness value for failure.
[0088] B7: Determine the strength correction factor based on the prediction model of the local damage propagation rate of erosion corrosion, the severity index of erosion corrosion thinning, and the maximum value of the critical wall thickness for failure.
[0089] B8: Determine the local thinning factor based on the strength correction factor and the structure correction factor.
[0090] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the leakage consequence area is the failure consequence area of static data, step S6 specifically includes:
[0091] The quantitative assessment of failure consequences of static data is calculated according to API 581-2016 or GB / T 26610.5-2022 standards.
[0092] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the leakage consequence area is the failure consequence area of dynamic data, step S6 specifically includes:
[0093] C1: Based on the prediction model of the local damage propagation rate of erosion corrosion, the evolution law of the leakage hole size over time is deduced.
[0094] C2: Based on the aforementioned evolutionary pattern, determine the real-time predicted leakage area size.
[0095] C3: Based on the real-time predicted leakage area, a quantitative assessment of the failure consequences of dynamic data is calculated.
[0096] The present invention provides a method for quantitatively assessing the risk of erosion damage to pressure equipment, which is divided into two categories: static assessment based on historical monitoring data and dynamic assessment based on real-time data. For static risk assessment, the input data consists of valid data under stable conditions with no adjustments to the process and equipment during a maintenance period. Input parameters include at least the original wall thickness, wall thickness monitoring data from the last shutdown, type and concentration of the corrosive medium, temperature, pressure, flow rate, continuous fluid density and vortex, particle / droplet discrete phase volume fraction and hardness, and hardness of the inner wall material. For dynamic risk assessment, the input data consists of valid data monitored in real-time over 1–24 hours and structural data remaining unchanged within a single maintenance period. Input parameters include at least the original wall thickness, real-time wall thickness monitoring data, type and concentration of the corrosive medium, temperature, pressure, flow rate, continuous fluid density and vortex, particle / droplet discrete phase volume fraction and hardness, as well as the hardness of the inner wall material, local structural types (such as elbows, tees, reducers), and dimensional parameters.
[0097] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the probability of erosion corrosion failure is obtained by multiplying the management system evaluation coefficient, the average failure probability of similar equipment, the equipment correction coefficient, and the influence coefficient of excessive defects. The magnitude of this coefficient is divided into five levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The equipment correction coefficient comprises four factors: a local / uniform thinning factor, a general condition factor, a mechanical factor, and a process factor. The magnitude of the equipment correction coefficient is obtained by multiplying these four factors. The calculation methods for the management system evaluation coefficient, the average failure probability of similar equipment, the influence coefficient of excessive defects, the general condition factor, the mechanical factor, and the process factor can be directly referenced to API 581-2016 or GB / T 26610.4-2022 standards. The local / uniform thinning factor requires selection of a calculation model based on the damage form. For special structures (such as elbows, tees, and reducers), a structural correction factor needs to be added to correct for the erosion corrosion rate. The erosion corrosion thinning severity index ar / t (calculated using time a, erosion corrosion rate r, and thickness data t) is introduced to describe the wall thickness loss rate caused by thinning. The severity index of erosion corrosion thinning needs to consider the combined effects of corrosion and erosion. Static risk assessment can be roughly calculated using historical wall thickness detection data, or it can be predicted based on historical data and an engineering prediction model of erosion corrosion rate. This model can be derived from theoretical / empirical / semi-empirical models in literature / corrosion databases and corrected by actual equipment monitoring data. Dynamic risk assessment, on the other hand, needs to be calculated based on real-time monitoring data and combined with an engineering prediction model of erosion corrosion rate.
[0098] For acidic water erosion corrosion systems in petrochemical and chemical industries, an engineering prediction model for erosion corrosion rate based on extensive field experiments is adopted to improve prediction accuracy. The input parameters of this model are all parameters directly collected from engineering, including at least the original wall thickness, real-time wall thickness detection data, type and concentration of corrosive medium, temperature, pressure, flow rate, continuous fluid density and rotation, particle / droplet discrete phase volume fraction and hardness, as well as the hardness of the inner wall material, local structural types (such as elbows, tees, reducers) and dimensional parameters.
[0099] When calculating the local thinning factor based on the engineering prediction model of erosion corrosion thinning rate, a strength correction factor needs to be introduced to consider the failure boundary. This embodiment combines the methods based on pit assessment GB 19624-2004 and the applicable evaluation method GB 35013-2018 or API RP 579-1-2021, taking the maximum value of the critical wall thickness calculated by both. For the evolution of the local thinning factor over time, an erosion corrosion local damage propagation rate prediction model is introduced to extrapolate the severity index change of erosion corrosion thinning in real time. This, combined with strength theory calculation methods, extrapolates the nonlinear change law of the local thinning factor, thus more effectively predicting damage change patterns. The strength correction factor is determined based on theoretical values calculated using pit assessment GB 19624-2004 and applicable evaluation methods GB 35013-2018 or API RP 579-1-2021, or a large amount of industrial testing data. This strength correction factor is then used to correct the value of the local thinning factor.
[0100] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the magnitude of the failure consequences of erosion corrosion is determined by calculating the leakage consequence area, predicting the toxic hazards, combustion and explosion hazards, environmental cleanup costs, and economic losses after failure, and the magnitude is divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E. The quantitative assessment of failure consequences based on static data can be directly calculated using API 581-2016 or GB / T26610.5-2022 standards. For the calculation of dynamic failure consequence area, the evolution of the leak hole size over time needs to be deduced using a erosion corrosion local damage propagation rate prediction model. Different leakage models are selected according to the type of medium to calculate the leakage rate in real time. The real-time leakage rate is used as the input condition for the diffusion model to predict the leakage area size in real time. The real-time leakage area size serves as the input condition for the dynamic assessment of the area consequences (toxic consequences, combustion and explosion consequences), economic consequences, etc., after failure, thereby achieving a dynamic quantitative assessment of the failure consequences of erosion corrosion. The economic consequences can be calculated by referring to the economic consequences algorithm in API 581-2016 or GB / T26610.5-2022 standards to account for a series of economic losses caused by equipment failure. The economic consequences are classified into levels based on the local socio-economic level at the time and the average annual profit of the factory in recent years.
[0101] The risk of erosion corrosion failure can be represented by a two-dimensional risk matrix diagram, with the vertical axis representing the probability level of erosion corrosion failure and the horizontal axis representing the consequence level of erosion corrosion failure. This risk matrix diagram can be used to classify risks by selecting non-equilibrium matrix diagrams and equilibrium matrix diagrams respectively, referring to GB / T26610.1-2022 or API 581-2016 standards, dividing erosion corrosion risk into four levels: high risk, medium-high risk, medium risk, and low risk.
[0102] This invention solves the problem of difficulty in quantifying and extrapolating the risk of coupled scour corrosion damage in complex environments by providing a quantitative assessment method for the risk of localized damage failure due to scour corrosion in petrochemical and chemical pressure equipment. It also provides support for setting safety boundaries and preventing risks associated with coupled scour corrosion damage in pressure equipment.
[0103] This invention also provides an application scenario in which the aforementioned method for quantitatively assessing the risk of erosion damage to pressure equipment is applied. Specifically, the method for quantitatively assessing the risk of erosion damage to pressure equipment provided in this embodiment can be applied to the quantitative assessment of risks in petrochemical and chemical pressure equipment. The quantitative assessment scenario for the risk of petrochemical and chemical pressure equipment includes a damage form determination step, a scour corrosion failure probability calculation step, a scour corrosion failure consequence calculation step, and a quantitative assessment step. After determining the damage form of the equipment, a thinning factor is calculated based on the damage form. Then, an equipment correction coefficient can be calculated based on the thinning factor. Based on the equipment correction coefficient, the management system evaluation coefficient, the average failure probability of similar equipment, and the influence coefficient of excessive defects, the probability of scour corrosion failure can be calculated. In addition, by calculating the leakage consequence area, the consequences of scour corrosion failure can be determined. Finally, a quantitative assessment can be achieved based on the probability of scour corrosion failure and the consequences of scour corrosion failure.
[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, this implementation case focuses on the black water pipeline of a coal-water slurry gasification unit. Based on real-time monitoring data, a quantitative assessment of the risk of scouring corrosion failure is conducted. The material is 20 steel (SA106 Gr.B), and the phase is a two-phase liquid-solid system. The particulate phase is coal slag, and the liquid phase is alkaline acidic water (the main media are NH4HS, Cl-, OH-, HCO3-, etc.). The concentration of NH4HS is 0.1%, and the pH is 10. The flow rate is between 10 and 20 m / s, and the solid content is between 0.5% and 5%.
[0105] Based on previous experimental studies and literature data, the erosion rate exceeds the critical rate of 6 m / s. Under this service environment, the erosion and corrosion are synergistic, and the damage mode is local thinning. An engineering prediction model for the erosion corrosion rate is selected (see Formula 5); among which, the prediction model for the erosion corrosion rate is modified for elbows, tees, and reducers respectively (see Formula 3).
[0106]
[0107] Based on an engineering prediction model for erosion corrosion rate, and combined with actual monitoring data, damage rate is predicted in real time, and the severity index of erosion corrosion thinning is calculated. The local erosion corrosion thinning factor is determined by considering detection effectiveness and the number of tests for the highest level of effectiveness. The intended service life T is determined by calculating theoretical values or using extensive industrial testing data based on pitting assessment method GB 19624-2004 and conformity evaluation method GB 35013-2018. n and remaining lifespan T SL The ratio of the planned service time to the remaining service life is used to determine the strength correction factor (1-500), which is then used to correct the local thinning factor. The remaining service life needs to be predicted using the erosion local damage propagation rate model (see Equation 6 below) to forecast future morphological evolution and changes in the erosion thinning severity index, and estimated based on the applicable evaluation method GB 35013-2018 or mature engineering experience.
[0108]
[0109] In the formula, since the concentration of alkaline acidic water is low, its influence on the damage propagation rate is small, so ε is ignored here. cor The impact.
[0110] Based on the localized erosion corrosion thinning factor, and combined with the calculation methods for general condition factors, mechanical factors, and process factors in the GB / T 26610.1-2022 standard, the equipment correction coefficient is calculated. Then, the GB / T26610.1-2022 standard method is further used to consider the influence of management system evaluation coefficient, average failure probability of similar equipment, equipment correction coefficient, and excess defect influence coefficient, thereby predicting the probability of erosion failure, with an assessment level of 3.
[0111] Based on the type and quantity of hazardous media, and combined with monitoring data, the equivalent diameter of the orifice at failure is predicted in real time using the local damage propagation rate model of erosion. The size of the current leakage area is calculated by selecting the small-hole Gaussian leakage rate model or the modified Gaussian leakage rate model. The area consequences and economic consequences after the damage leakage are evaluated using the standard method of GB / T 26610.1-2022, thereby predicting the consequences of the current erosion failure. The evaluation level is C.
[0112] Based on the real-time failure probability and consequence level of erosion damage, a two-dimensional non-equilibrium matrix diagram is plotted, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the vertical axis represents the probability of erosion corrosion failure, and the horizontal axis represents the consequences of erosion corrosion failure; based on the standard type, non-equilibrium matrix diagrams and equilibrium matrix diagrams are selected as follows: Figure 5 As shown, a real-time quantitative assessment of erosion risk was conducted, and the risk level was determined to be medium risk.
