Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of petroleum refining equipment, in particular to a large hole distribution plate support skirt. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the core equipment of the catalytic cracking unit in petroleum chemical industry is the reactor and the regenerator, and the large hole distribution plate is the core key component of the regenerator, and its safety reliability directly determines whether the catalytic cracking regeneration process can be carried out smoothly and long-period operation. The large hole distribution plate is arranged at the top of the coke burning tank of the regenerator, which functions to let the completely regenerated or incompletely regenerated catalysts from the coke burning tank to the large hole distribution plate at a certain speed and pressure drop, so that the completely regenerated catalysts enter the subsequent fluidized circulation or the incompletely regenerated catalysts enter the subsequent fluidized circulation after being completely regenerated in the two dense phase cone section.

[0003] The existing large hole distribution plate is usually provided with a certain number of large diameter ceramic wear-resistant nozzles on the flat cover head, the upper end of the support skirt is welded with the lower end of the flat cover head, and the lower end of the support skirt is welded with the small end of the regenerator cone by using the circular arc flexible structure, so as to absorb and coordinate the temperature difference deformation of the catalyst and flue gas in the regenerator, which is 680-750 DEG C to the cold wall design temperature of about 150 DEG C of the regenerator. Because the supporting capacity of the circular arc flexible structure is weak, the temperature change gradient of the support skirt is smaller, and the soft ceramic fiber heat insulation layer is arranged inside and outside the support skirt, in order to avoid the high-speed catalyst and flue gas from hollowing or damaging the soft ceramic fiber, a metal protective layer is arranged on the surface of the soft ceramic fiber inside the support skirt, and the anchor is achieved by using the stud and nut welded inside the support skirt. Although the lower end of the existing support skirt adopts the circular arc flexible structure, and the flexible ceramic fiber heat insulation layer is arranged inside and outside the support skirt to reduce the temperature difference stress and relieve and absorb the deformation. But due to the height of the regenerator cone and the process bed layer, the support skirt of the large hole distribution plate cannot be long enough. At the same time, the circular arc transition area at the lower end of the support skirt of the large hole distribution plate is a three-dimensional structure, and it is very difficult to fill the soft ceramic fiber and form and install the metal protective layer on its surface, so the on-site safety and quality cannot be ensured. Therefore, after the existing large hole distribution plate is operated for a period of time, the wall temperature of the welding position between the circular arc flexible structure at the lower end of the support skirt and the small end of the regenerator cone exceeds the design temperature, and even the welding seam between the circular arc flexible structure and the small section of the regenerator cone is torn and fails.
