When the load drops to a predetermined value, the catalyst is switched to circulation. At the same time, T2 (triethylaluminum) and SCA (electron donor) are continuously injected for about half an hour to consume the residual catalyst. Then, the reactor killing operation is carried out in sequence, using a specific chemical reagent to deactivate the active centers in the reactor; then, the reactor replacement is carried out, using an inert gas to replace the gas-phase components in the reactor; then, the bed layer is emptied to remove the polymer material in the bed layer; the reactor replacement is carried out again to further purify the reactor environment; then, the reactor hydrolysis is carried out to treat residual substances such as polymers and catalysts; then, the reactor is cooled down to reduce its internal temperature; the operation of the recycle gas compressor is stopped, the connection between the water system and the plant system is cut off, and finally the reactor is delivered for maintenance.

[0071] A rapid shutdown procedure for a Unipol polypropylene plant is proposed. First, a special catalyst terminator is used to quickly terminate the catalyst activity. This terminator can efficiently react with the catalyst active centers in a short time, causing the catalyst to rapidly deactivate. After terminating the catalyst activity, a rapid pressure reduction operation of the reactor is immediately carried out. The propylene evaporator is preferably cut out first to reduce the addition of propylene. Subsequently, nitrogen is used to carry out operations such as reactor purging, bed emptying, and water system cut-out in parallel. By optimizing the connection and coordination between each operation step, the intermediate waiting time is reduced, and the shutdown efficiency is improved.

Points to be protected: The injection method of the killing agent and its injection event in the shutdown of the Unipol polypropylene plant; the combination method of each operation step in the rapid shutdown procedure and key operation parameters, such as the pressure reduction rate, purging gas flow rate, etc.
[0075] Advantages:
[0076] 1. Significantly shorten the shutdown time: By quickly terminating the catalyst activity and optimizing the operation process, the waiting time during the shutdown is greatly reduced. The shutdown time of the plant can be shortened by more than 10%, improving the annual effective operation time of the plant and increasing the production capacity.
[0077] 2. Reduce material and energy consumption: Due to the shortened shutdown time, the running time of equipment such as the recycle gas compressor is reduced. At the same time, the loss of materials during the shutdown is reduced, and the waste of monomers, catalysts and other materials is reduced, thus reducing the production cost.

[0087] The above introduces the embodiments of a rapid shutdown system for a Unipol polypropylene device of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 4 , in a method for rapid shutdown of a Unipol polypropylene device, the method for rapid shutdown of the polypropylene device includes the following steps:
[0088] Step 401: Set a number of injection points at the upstream position of the reactor recycle gas pipeline of the Unipol polypropylene device;
[0089] Step 402: After the catalyst is switched to circulation, inject the terminator into the reactor through the injection points.

[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment
[0093] 1. Catalyst terminator injection and reaction control:
[0094] During the traditional shutdown process, the injection amount of the catalyst terminator is usually preset within a fixed range. However, with the changes in catalyst activity and the internal state of the reactor, this preset injection amount may not always be optimal. To achieve more precise control, we can introduce an intelligent control system (such as an automated system based on PLC and sensors) to monitor the reactor state in real time and make adjustments.
[0095] Working principle of the intelligent control system:
[0096] Real-time monitoring: Obtain data such as catalyst concentration, temperature, and pressure inside the reactor in real time through sensors.
[0097] Data analysis and decision-making: The system uses algorithms (such as PID control or optimization models based on machine learning) to analyze this data. According to the real-time concentration of the catalyst and the reaction progress, it dynamically adjusts the injection amount of the terminator. This can ensure that the injection amount of the terminator always remains between 1.2 - 1.5 times the molar amount of the catalyst, rather than relying on manual operation.
[0098] Control of reaction time: Adjust the injection rate of the terminator through real-time feedback to ensure that the reaction time does not exceed 5 minutes, thus quickly and effectively stopping the reaction.
[0099] This method is more precise and flexible than traditional manual operation, can reduce human error, and ensure the efficiency and safety of the shutdown process.
[0100] Reactor pressure reduction process:
[0101] During the pressure reduction process, the pressure control of the reactor must be precise to avoid unnecessary pressure fluctuations or over - continuation of the reaction caused by too fast or too slow pressure reduction speed.
[0102] Dynamic optimization algorithm:
[0103] To ensure that the pressure reduction rate does not exceed 0.3 MPa / min, the system uses pressure and temperature feedback to adjust the pressure release rate during the pressure reduction process.
[0104] The control system will dynamically adjust the pressure reduction path according to the real - time data inside the reactor (such as changes in internal pressure and temperature of the reactor). For example, during the pressure reduction process, pressure changes and temperature changes are closely related. Too fast pressure reduction may cause a sudden drop in temperature, resulting in incomplete reaction or equipment damage. The dynamic algorithm can automatically adjust the pressure reduction rate according to these changes to avoid these risks.
[0105] Automatic switching operation: When the reactor pressure drops below 0.5 MPa, the system will automatically determine that the propylene evaporator should be cut out at this time to avoid excessive pressure reduction and reduce unnecessary energy waste.
[0106] This intelligent step-down control method reduces human intervention while improving the stability and safety of operations.
[0107] 3. Operations performed in parallel:
[0108] Nitrogen replacement, emptying of the bed layer, and isolation of the water system are several key steps that must be carried out simultaneously during the shutdown process. To efficiently coordinate these operations, a multivariable control algorithm can be used for parallel scheduling.
[0109] Multivariable control (MPC):
[0110] MPC is an advanced process control method that predicts and optimizes the coordination between various operations by real-time monitoring of multiple parameters such as nitrogen flow rate, the rate of decline in bed height, and pressure. It can ensure the optimal coordination of these operations under their mutual influence, avoiding conflicts or ineffective operations.
[0111] During the nitrogen replacement process, the system will automatically ensure that the gas flow rate ≥ 2000 Nm 3 / h, and at the same time, during the emptying of the bed layer, the rate of decline in bed height is maintained ≤ 1 m / h. The real-time adjustment of these parameters not only ensures the efficient execution of each operation but also reduces the time interval between operations, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire shutdown process.
[0112] Through the application of this intelligent algorithm, all steps in the operation process are highly coordinated, thus avoiding unnecessary waste or redundancy.
[0113] 4. Precise control of terminator injection:
[0114] To ensure the uniform distribution of the catalyst terminator and improve the reaction efficiency, a multi-point injection system can be used. The core of this system is to set multiple injection points upstream of the reactor recycle gas pipeline to ensure that the catalyst terminator can evenly cover the entire reaction area, avoiding insufficient or excessive reactions in some areas.
[0115] Principle of the injection system:
[0116] Injection control: Through a precise PLC control system, the terminator can dynamically adjust the injection volume and injection rate according to the real-time data of the reactor (such as flow rate, temperature, reaction rate, etc.).
[0117] Multi-point injection: Different from traditional single-point injection, the multi-point injection system can ensure the uniform distribution of the terminator throughout the reaction area by installing injection points at different positions in the reactor gas pipeline. This not only improves the reaction efficiency of catalyst termination but also reduces the risk of local over-reaction.
[0118] Dynamic adjustment: Based on the feedback data of the real-time reactor, the control system can flexibly adjust the injection strategy to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the injection operation.
[0119] This method significantly improves the utilization efficiency of the terminator, reduces the possible uneven distribution in the reactor, and thus improves the stability of the shutdown process.
[0120] 5. Operation overlap and timeliness optimization:
[0121] Nitrogen replacement and bed emptying are two operations that usually need to be carried out in parallel, but the optimization of their timing and overlap time is crucial. If handled improperly, it may lead to delays in the shutdown process and even affect the stability and safety of the equipment.
[0122] Timeliness optimization model:
[0123] By introducing regression analysis or neural network models, the system can predict the optimal overlap time of the operations. Through learning historical data, the model can predict the best start time of each step and the operation overlap time between the two, ensuring that the overlap time of nitrogen replacement and bed emptying is as close as possible to 80% of the total shutdown time.
[0124] Operation optimization: For example, the bed emptying operation can be started in advance when nitrogen replacement begins, which can maximize the time overlap of the operations and avoid the waste of time in separate operations. The optimization model will dynamically adjust the operation time to ensure that the shutdown process is as efficient and stable as possible.
[0125] By applying advanced optimization models, the system can find the best balance among multiple operations to ensure that each step can be completed in the shortest time.
