[0002] The chemical industry is a traditional high-energy consumption and high-carbon emission industry, and is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases in the industrial field. Carbon emissions from the global chemical industry account for 5.8% of the global total emissions (including 3.6% of industrial energy emissions and 2.2% of direct industrial emissions). Among them, carbon emissions caused by steam cracking account for a large proportion of carbon emissions in the chemical industry.

[0003] Traditional steam cracking furnaces generate high-temperature flue gas by mixing combustion gas with air. The high-temperature flue gas is used to preheat raw materials, generate ultra-high-pressure steam, and provide heat for cracking reactions. Figure 1As shown, it includes radiation furnace A, raw material preheating section I B, economizer section C, raw material preheating section II D, raw material and dilution steam mixing section I E, dilution steam preheating section F, high-pressure steam superheating section I G, high-pressure steam superheating section II H, raw material and dilution steam mixing section II I, desuperheater J, first quench cooler K, second quench cooler L, raw material\dilution steam mixer M, steam drum N, and air preheater R.

The preheated air stream 423 and the fuel gas stream 424 enter a radiation furnace A for combustion to generate high-temperature flue gas, which in turn provides heat energy for the raw material and dilution steam mixing section II I, the high-pressure steam superheating section II H, the high-pressure steam superheating section I G, the dilution steam preheating section F, the raw material and dilution steam mixing section I E, the raw material preheating section II D, the economizer section C, and the raw material preheating section I B; the raw material Or the decoking air and the dilution steam flow 41 enter the raw material preheating section I B for preheating to obtain the raw material flow 42 after the raw material preheating section I, the raw material flow 42 after the raw material preheating section I enters the raw material preheating section II D for preheating to obtain the raw material flow 43 after the raw material preheating section II, the total dilution steam flow 46 enters the dilution steam preheating section F for preheating to obtain the superheated dilution steam flow 47, the raw material flow 43 after the raw material preheating section II and the superheated dilution steam flow 47 enter the raw material\dilution steam mixer M for mixing to obtain the raw material\dilution mixed flow 44, the raw material\dilution mixed flow 44 enters the raw material and dilution steam mixing section I E for mixing The raw material and the diluted steam mixed section I stream 45 is obtained, the raw material and the diluted steam mixed section I stream 45 enters the raw material and the diluted steam mixed section II I for mixing to obtain the raw material and the diluted steam mixed section II stream 8, the raw material and the diluted steam mixed section II stream 48 enters the radiation furnace A, the raw material and the diluted steam mixed section II stream 48 in the radiation furnace A uses the heat energy provided by the high-temperature flue gas to undergo a cracking reaction to obtain a cracking gas stream 49, the cracking gas stream 49 enters the first quench cooler K for cooling to obtain the cracking gas stream 410 after passing through the first quench cooler, the cracking gas stream 10 after passing through the first quench cooler enters the second quench cooler Cooling is carried out in the process to obtain a cracking gas flow 411 that has passed through the second quench cooler; wherein, boiler feed water stream 413 enters the economizer section C to obtain a preheated boiler feed water stream 414, and the preheated boiler feed water stream 414 is sent to the second quench cooler L for further preheating to obtain boiler feed water stream 415, and the ultra-high pressure steam stream 416 generated by the steam drum N is sent to the high-pressure steam superheating section I G to obtain an ultra-high pressure steam stream 418, and in the desuperheater J, the ultra-high pressure steam stream 418 is mixed with the boiler feed water stream 417 to obtain an ultra-high pressure steam stream 419, and the ultra-high pressure steam stream 419 is sent to the high-pressure steam superheating section II H to obtain an ultra-high pressure steam stream 420, which is sent to the outside of the boundary area.Traditional cracking furnaces use fuel gas (methane hydrogen, liquefied gas, natural gas, etc.) mixed with air to burn and produce high-temperature flue gas as the heat source for the cracking reaction, releasing a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is contrary to the current carbon reduction needs.

[0004] In order to achieve the carbon reduction needs of the petrochemical industry, it is necessary to develop the core technology of electric cracking furnaces. In addition, the development of core technology of electric cracking furnaces can effectively promote scientific and technological innovation and further open up and expand the oil refining and ethylene industry chain. At present, electric cracking furnace technologies for steam cracking have been proposed one after another. However, the electric cracking furnace systems currently available generally have poor long-term stable operation performance and cannot meet the needs of industrial steam cracking.

[0005] In view of this, there is still a need to study an electric cracking furnace system suitable for the steam cracking process and an operating method of the electric cracking furnace system that can operate stably for a long period of time. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an electric cracking furnace system and an electric cracking furnace system operation method suitable for a steam cracking process that can operate stably for a long period of time. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following two technical solutions.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an electric cracking furnace system, wherein the system comprises:

[0008] Electric cracking furnace, displacement gas module, energy storage module and flare module;

[0009] The electric cracking furnace comprises a replacement gas chamber and an electric heating cracking chamber, wherein the electric heating cracking chamber is arranged inside the replacement gas chamber (that is, the replacement gas chamber is sleeved outside the electric heating cracking chamber);

[0010] The replacement gas outlet of the replacement gas module is connected to the replacement gas inlet of the replacement gas cavity of the electric cracking furnace, and the replacement gas component detection inlet of the replacement gas module is connected to the replacement gas outlet of the replacement gas cavity of the electric cracking furnace; the replacement gas module is used to provide replacement gas to the replacement gas cavity of the electric cracking furnace and detect the components of the replacement gas discharged from the replacement gas cavity of the electric cracking furnace;

[0011] The feed port of the flare module is connected to the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace. The flare module is used to receive the raw materials and product gas in the electric heating cracking chamber when the electric cracking furnace has an abnormal operating condition (for example, when the electric cracking furnace is powered off, the electric heating cracking chamber leaks, etc.);

[0012] The high temperature medium outlet of the energy storage module is connected to the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace. The energy storage module is used to provide high temperature medium to the electric heating cracking chamber when the flare module receives the raw materials and product gas in the electric heating cracking chamber.

[0013] The electric cracking furnace system provided by the present invention uses a replacement gas module to detect the replacement gas discharged from the replacement gas chamber of the electric cracking furnace to detect whether the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace is leaking. If it is detected that the composition of the replacement gas discharged from the replacement gas chamber of the electric cracking furnace has changed, it is considered that the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace is leaking. When the electric cracking furnace has an abnormal operating condition (including leakage of the electric heating cracking chamber, etc.), the heating function of the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace is shut down, and the raw materials and product gases remaining in the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace are transported to the flare module, and the high-temperature medium in the energy storage module is transported to the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace. When the electric cracking furnace is stopped normally, the amount of raw materials is gradually reduced, and steam is kept introduced, and finally switched to a hot standby state with only steam introduced, and then slowly cooled down to a safe temperature and stopped, and the flare module and the energy storage module are not enabled.

[0014] The steam cracking reaction is a strong endothermic reaction, and the fluid temperature can reach over 800°C during the cracking reaction. In a traditional steam cracking furnace, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas is generated by the combustion of fuel gas to provide the required heat for the cracking chamber in the radiation furnace. The flue gas then enters the convection section and is eventually discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney. The cracking reaction process can be monitored through the fire-watching hole for the entire radiation furnace. Due to the particularity of the heating method, the electric cracking furnace cannot directly monitor the working status of the electric heating cracking chamber. Once the electric heating cracking chamber leaks, the electric cracking furnace is prone to combustion and explosion accidents. In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the electric cracking furnace, a replacement gas module is added to protect and monitor the electric heating cracking chamber.

[0015] The flare module receives the raw materials and product gases in the electric heating cracking chamber when abnormal operating conditions such as power failure or leakage in the electric heating cracking chamber occur in the electric cracking furnace, thereby protecting the electric cracking furnace system and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the electric cracking furnace.

[0016] When the raw materials and product gases in the electric heating cracking chamber of the electric cracking furnace are discharged into the flare module, the electric heating cracking chamber will cool down rapidly. Too fast a temperature drop will cause the electric heating cracking chamber to deform or even break. The energy storage module provides high-temperature medium to the electric heating cracking chamber, controls the cooling rate of the electric heating cracking chamber, and protects the electric heating cracking chamber under abnormal operating conditions.

[0017] According to the preferred embodiment provided in the first aspect, the electric cracking furnace system further comprises a cooling module, the electric cracking furnace is further provided with an electric heating element cooling pipe, and the cooling medium outlet of the cooling module is connected to the cooling medium inlet of the electric heating element cooling pipe of the electric cracking furnace;

[0019] Further, the cooling medium includes one of air, water, alcohol, freon, ammonia, carbon dioxide, liquid metal, liquid helium and liquid nitrogen;

[0020] In a traditional steam cracking furnace, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of fuel gas provides heat for the cracking reaction, and then enters the convection section for heat exchange and cooling to preheat the raw materials or utility logistics, and is finally discharged into the atmosphere, and the waste heat is effectively evacuated; in an electric cracking furnace, the electric heating element will generate waste heat while heating the electric heating cracking chamber. The accumulation of waste heat will cause the electric heating element to heat up and deviate from the original working temperature. The cooling module removes the waste heat generated by the electric heating element through the cooling medium to ensure the stable operation of the electric heating element.

[0025] Further, the steam module includes a dilution steam submodule and an intermediate pressure steam submodule;

[0026] The dilution steam submodule is used to provide steam at 120-300°C and 0.5-2MPa. The steam provided by the dilution steam submodule can be used to dilute the cracking feedstock (thereby reducing the hydrocarbon partial pressure to increase the yield and reducing coking in the electric cracking furnace), purge the electric cracking furnace system, and cooperate with the decoking air to decoke the electric cracking furnace system;

[0027] The medium-pressure steam submodule is used to provide steam at 300-450°C and 1.0-5.0MPa. The steam provided by the medium-pressure steam submodule can be used to purge the electric cracking furnace system and to clean the electric cracking furnace system in combination with the decoking air.

[0028] Furthermore, the quenching module can reduce the cracking gas to 150-550°C according to the needs and the type of cracking gas;

[0029] Furthermore, the steam outlet of the steam module is connected to the cooling medium inlet of the quench module, so that the steam of the steam module is used to cool the cracked gas in the quench module;

[0031] Further, the electric cracking furnace system also includes a waste boiler module, and the cooling medium inlet and the cooling medium outlet of the quenching module are connected to the boiler feed water pipeline of the waste boiler module, so that the boiler feed water and the cracking gas are heat-exchanged in the quenching module, and the boiler feed water is used to cool the cracking gas, and the cracking gas is used to heat the boiler feed water; further, the waste boiler module can generate steam at 350-450°C; further, the electric cracking furnace system also includes a steam gradient utilization module, the steam inlet of the steam gradient utilization module is connected to the steam outlet of the waste boiler module, and the steam outlet of the steam gradient utilization module is connected to the steam supply inlet of the steam module and / or connected to the steam inlet of the steam heating pipeline of the energy storage module; in a specific embodiment, the steam outlet of the steam gradient utilization module is respectively connected to the steam supply inlet of the dilution steam submodule of the steam module, the steam supply inlet of the medium-pressure steam submodule of the steam module, and the steam inlet of the steam heating pipeline of the energy storage module;

[0032] In the above preferred embodiment, the waste boiler module is set up to realize the use of the heat of the cracking gas in the quenching module to generate steam, thereby improving the energy utilization rate and reducing the energy consumption of the electric cracking furnace system; the steam cascade utilization module is set up to realize the use of the steam generated by the waste boiler module to generate the steam required by the steam module (such as dilution steam, medium-pressure steam) and deliver it to the steam module and / or generate the steam required by the energy storage module to heat the cooling medium and deliver it to the energy storage module, so that the entire steam realizes internal circulation and reduces the energy consumption caused by the external steam;

[0034] Furthermore, the superheater is an electric superheater; further, the heating range of the electric superheater is 150-650°C;

The electric pyrolysis furnace system lacks high-temperature flue gas and heats the raw materials by adding preheaters and superheaters with heating functions. Preheaters and superheaters with electric heating methods can be used to heat the raw materials to ensure more uniform heat distribution and higher thermal stability, improve thermal efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.
