Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the cleaning technology field of reaction tubes, and in particular to a cleaning device and method for a tube-in-tube fixed bed reactor. Background Art

[0002] The quality of the catalyst used in the epoxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide directly affects the quality and output of the product, and even safe production. When the catalyst is replaced, the inner wall of the reaction tube will have rust spots (carbon steel reaction tube), reaction by-products and impurities carried by the airflow due to long-term use, and it needs to be cleaned. If the reaction tube is not cleaned properly, the dust attached to and falling off the tube wall will affect the operation of the catalyst, resulting in significant differences in the heat release and heat transfer rate of each reaction tube, which in turn causes changes in the reaction temperature of each tube, and in severe cases causes local overheating and catalyst deactivation. In addition, dust during the cleaning of the reaction tube is also an important factor causing pollution and harming the health of operators.

[0003] Shell-and-tube reactors are widely used in ethylene epoxidation. The number of shell-and-tube reactors in my country has exceeded 30,000, and reactors with 10,000 to 20,000 are more common. Cleaning the reaction tubes of shell-and-tube reactors has become a more prominent problem. At present, most of the cleaning methods are manual cleaning, usually by manual spiral sandblasting. The specific method is to use an automatic sandblasting machine for sandblasting. The sand is required to be dry refined quartz sand with a specification of 20 to 40 mesh and a hardness of 6 to 7. The sand that has been blasted cannot be reused. Sandblasting test: 10 reaction tubes are randomly selected for test blasting. The sandblasting test time is determined by the patent owner, the owner and the construction party. All reaction tubes are sandblasted one by one. After each blasting, a cap of a specified color is placed on the upper tube mouth of the reaction tube. After the sandblasting of the reaction tube is completed, an endoscope is used to check and confirm.

[0004] During the cleaning operation, the reactor is a closed space, and the reaction tubes are filled with dust and sand. The operating environment is very harsh, which is not suitable for workers to work in the reactor for a long time and complete the cleaning work with high quality. In addition, manual operation cannot control the cleaning accuracy well, which will affect the production efficiency. Moreover, about 1%-3% of the tubes cannot be cleaned to meet the requirements and need to be reworked. Therefore, the current cleaning devices and methods have a certain degree of impact on the health of workers, the production time and benefits of enterprises.

[0005] Based on this background, the present invention develops a cleaning device and method for a tubular fixed bed reactor. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a cleaning device and method for a tubular fixed bed reactor. The device is provided with a circulation system, which can ensure that various parameters of the test solution remain stable, and at the same time has obvious improvements in operability, safety and environmental protection, and solves the problem that the conventional laboratory solution immersion method cannot control the volatilization of the chlorine dioxide solution and the concentration is unstable.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cleaning device for a tubular fixed bed reactor in a first aspect, comprising:

[0008] A grinding wheel is in the shape of a ring, the outer surface of which is adapted to the inner wall of the tube, and is used to clean the rust spots on the inner wall of the tube;

[0010] A motor is rotatably connected to the grinding wheel and the plurality of guide wheels respectively;

[0011] A battery is electrically connected to the motor and is used to provide electrical energy to the motor.

[0012] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for using the cleaning device, comprising:

[0013] After the cleaning device is powered on, it is placed from above the tube array with the grinding wheel at the bottom and the guide wheel at the top;

[0014] The motor drives the guide wheel, and the guide wheel pushes the cleaning device downward. Meanwhile, during the downward process, the motor drives the grinding wheel to clean the pipe wall.

[0015] After the cleaning device drills out from under the tube array, it falls into the collector for collection.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0017] (1) The cleaning device for a tube-in-tube fixed-bed reactor proposed in the present invention drives a grinding wheel and a plurality of guide wheels to work by an electric motor, thereby improving the cleaning accuracy and reliability of the inner wall of the tube-in-tube, reducing the labor intensity of on-site manual cleaning, reducing the contact of on-site workers with dust, and reducing the health problems caused by dust.

[0018] (2) The cleaning device for a tube-in-tube fixed-bed reactor proposed in the present invention can adjust the diameter of the grinding wheel by adjusting the length of a plurality of adjustable support rods. At the same time, the diameter of the circle formed by the rims of a plurality of guide wheels can be adjusted by cooperating with a plurality of retractable support structures in conjunction with a second transmission device, thereby ensuring that the cleaning device can adapt to different tube diameters.

[0019] (3) The cleaning device for a tube-in-tube fixed bed reactor proposed in the present invention has a transmission device and a plurality of retractable support structures, which can ensure that the motor provides sufficient guide thrust for the plurality of guide wheels, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the cleaning device and the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the tube-in-tube.

[0021] (5) The method for using the cleaning device for a tubular fixed bed reactor proposed in the present invention can monitor the battery power and working time in real time through a remote terminal during the downward movement of the cleaning device. When the battery power decreases rapidly, the motor speed can be adjusted through the remote terminal, or the motor can be controlled in reverse to make the cleaning device return to its original path and then replace the battery and / or grinding wheel, which is flexible and convenient.
