Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear power petrochemicals, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a hydrogenation reactor cylinder for the petrochemical industry. Background Art

[0002] The hydrogenation reactor is a very important equipment in organic chemistry laboratories and actual production processes. It can be used not only as a container for hydrogenation reactions, but also in situations where liquids and gases need to be fully mixed. Hydrogenation reactors are often used to convert the most difficult heavy part of the petroleum industry, residual oil, into light oil by hydrogenation, thereby producing gasoline, diesel, etc. Hydrogenation reactors are large and heavy, with a diameter of up to 4 meters, a length of more than 70 meters, and a weight of more than 3,000 tons.

[0003] Existing hydrogenation reactors are all made by steel plate coiling and welding. Generally, thick steel plates with a wide width (about 3 meters) are coiled and welded into a cylindrical body, and then the cylindrical bodies are welded into a very long cylinder by narrow gap welding. This processing method is relatively mature, but the welding volume is huge. Due to the presence of a large number of welds, the overall performance of the hydrogenation reactor cylinder is also reduced to a certain extent. Summary of the invention
