DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with embodiments, as shown in the following. Figure 1

[0013] The tar distillation production process is a conventional vacuum distillation process, the raw material is coal tar, which is transported through a raw material pump, heated, and then enters a dehydration tower, the bottom of the dehydration tower is controlled at 190 DEG C, the light oil is extracted at the top at 100 DEG C, and the water-free tar at the bottom is heated by a heating furnace and then sent to a main tar tower for distillation, the main tower is operated under negative pressure, the pressure is controlled above-76 kpa, and the bottom is controlled above 270 DEG C to meet the distillation requirements of the main tower, the phenolic oil is extracted at the top, the naphthalene oil, washing oil and anthracene oil can be extracted at the side line, and the medium temperature pitch is extracted at the bottom, the product quality and yield are adjusted by the main tower reflux, side line temperature and extraction amount.

[0014] The light oil and naphthalene oil are transported to a dephenolization device after being extracted into an intermediate tank, the washing oil, anthracene oil and medium temperature pitch can be produced as products to a finished product warehouse. The medium temperature pitch can also be used as a raw material of a downstream modified pitch device, and is transported from the finished product warehouse to the modified device. The main control points of the present application are the control of the main tower and the adjustment and change of the rear-end products, and the front-end heat exchange and other auxiliary processes are not described in detail.

[0015] The improvement points of the present application are as follows: 1. Side line extraction modification and use.

[0016] ​The naphthalene oil, wash oil, and anthracene oil extracted from the side line are modified, and new pipelines and valves are added for blowing and emptying when the online production is stopped and a single product is extracted, to meet the blowing and emptying requirements when the extraction is stopped. The functions are realized according to the following operations: (1) When the naphthalene oil is stopped for extraction alone, close the naphthalene oil extraction valve 1, open the naphthalene oil blowing valve 4 to blow the naphthalene oil pipeline alone, close the naphthalene oil blowing valve 4 after blowing is completed, and wait for the next production adjustment. Open the naphthalene oil blowing valve 4 again before blowing, and then close the naphthalene oil blowing valve 4. Open the naphthalene oil extraction valve 1 for extraction.

[0017] (2) When the wash oil is stopped for extraction alone, close the wash oil extraction valve 2, open the wash oil blowing valve 5 to blow the naphthalene oil pipeline alone, close the wash oil blowing valve 5 after blowing is completed, and wait for the next production adjustment. Open the wash oil blowing valve 5 again before blowing, and then close the wash oil blowing valve 5. Open the wash oil extraction valve 2 for extraction.

[0018] (3) When the anthracene oil is stopped for extraction alone, close the anthracene oil extraction valve 3, open the anthracene oil blowing valve 6 to blow the naphthalene oil pipeline alone, close the anthracene oil blowing valve 6 after blowing is completed, and wait for the next production adjustment. Open the anthracene oil blowing valve 6 again before blowing, and then close the anthracene oil blowing valve 6. Open the anthracene oil extraction valve 3 for extraction.

[0019] (4) When multiple materials need to be stopped, follow the steps for stopping naphthalene oil, wash oil, and anthracene oil alone.

[0020] 2. Through production debugging, a production adjustment model for the opening and closing of the three oil products in the side line is formed.

[0021] In the case of regular production with all side lines extracted, the tower bottom temperature is controlled at 280℃, and each extraction is adjusted according to the normal yield. According to the actual production needs, the production debugging and solidification of the side line combination shutdown model are carried out.

[0022] (1) When the modification device is stopped, do not supply the medium temperature pitch, and the tower bottom of the tar main tower can be adjusted to produce carbon black oil, which can reduce energy costs, and the stop of the wash oil and anthracene oil side lines is required.

[0023] According to the steps for stopping naphthalene oil and anthracene oil, stop the wash oil first, then stop the anthracene oil, and simultaneously adjust the tower bottom temperature of the tar main tower. Sample and analyze the naphthalene oil and bottom carbon black oil, and continuously adjust the tower bottom temperature and the extraction of naphthalene oil and bottom carbon black oil based on the analysis results, After multiple rounds of production adjustment, the product quality meets the standard, the tower bottom temperature is controlled and adjusted to 265℃, the naphthalene oil extraction is adjusted to increase by 5%, and the remaining proportion is extracted by the bottom carbon black oil.

[0024] (2) When the wash oil product is in short supply, the wash oil side line extraction needs to be stopped.

[0025] Following the procedure of stopping the side stream oil washing, the washing oil production was stopped, and the temperature at the bottom of the tar tower was simultaneously lowered and adjusted. Naphthalene oil, anthracene oil, and medium-temperature pitch were sampled and analyzed. The bottom temperature of the tower and the side stream production were continuously adjusted based on the analysis results.

[0026] After several rounds of production adjustments, and with product quality meeting standards, the bottom temperature of the tower was reduced to 275℃, increasing the anthracene extraction ratio by 1%. Naphthalene oil and medium-temperature pitch did not require adjustment.

[0027] (3) When the modification unit produces low softening point asphalt, the side-stream anthracene oil extraction is stopped.

[0028] Following the procedure for stopping anthracene oil production via the side stream, anthracene oil production was stopped, and the temperature at the bottom of the tar tower was simultaneously lowered. Naphthalene oil, wash oil, and medium-temperature pitch were sampled and analyzed. The bottom temperature and side stream production were continuously adjusted based on the analysis results.

[0029] After several rounds of production adjustments, and with product quality meeting standards, the bottom temperature of the tower was reduced to 270℃, increasing the proportion of Chinese bitumen extracted by 4%. Naphthalene oil and wash oil did not require adjustment.

[0030] 3. Establishment of a refined oil depot oil product allocation system.

[0031] (1) Line 1 meets the needs of downstream customers. Currently, existing oil mixing tanks can be used to develop a mud gun oil system that uses wash oil and carbon black oil.

[0032] Add carbon black oil and wash oil to the mixing tank in a ratio of 4.39:1 (carbon black oil: wash oil) based on the theoretical data from the laboratory small-scale test. The order of addition is to add carbon black oil first, purge the pipeline, and then add wash oil. After purging the pipeline, turn on the mixing tank agitator and control the tank temperature to rise to 90-100℃. After mixing for 12 hours, stop the agitator, take a sample for analysis, and add carbon black oil or wash oil separately according to the analysis results until the softening point index required by the customer is reached.

[0033] (2) Line 2: By modifying and adding a configuration pipeline from the dephenolized oil to the anthracene oil tank, the existing storage tank is used to configure anthracene oil. The configuration requirements are based on the quality requirements of the anthracene oil demanded by the downstream customers.

[0034] After the dephenolized oil tank reaches 60%, confirm the current quality requirements of anthracene oil with the sales department. Based on the requirements, add the theoretical proportion to the anthracene oil tank and then conduct laboratory analysis of the anthracene oil. Based on the test results, confirm whether to add more. Since the quality requirements of anthracene oil are not clear, this invention does not provide a fixed theoretical addition ratio. It is based on the actual anthracene oil requirements. If there is no requirement, the dephenolized oil can also be sold separately as a normal dephenolized oil product.

[0035] (3) Line 3: By modifying and adding a configuration pipeline from anthracene oil to carbon black oil tank, the existing storage tank is used to configure carbon black oil. The configuration requirements are the same as the carbon black oil quality required by downstream customers.

[0036] The preparation of carbon black oil is related to the start-up and shutdown of the equipment. When the softening point of carbon black oil needs to be lowered and adjusted, anthracene oil is transported to the carbon black oil tank and added according to the actual required ratio. Adjustments are made based on the test analysis results. Therefore, the quality requirements are intermittent and occasional. This invention does not provide a fixed addition ratio. Anthracene oil and carbon black oil also have their own quality and requirements for separate external sales.

[0037] The above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of the present invention do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
