TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of urea hydrolysis for ammonia production, in particular to an electrode heating type urea hydrolysis device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The urea hydrolysis for ammonia production process is the mainstream technical solution in the field of SCR denitration reductant preparation, and the core equipment is a urea hydrolysis device. The device adopts a reboiler structure, the tube passes through saturated steam with a pressure of 0.8-1.0 MPa as a heating heat source, and the shell passes through urea solution and hydrolysis product gas.
[0003] In the scenario of power plants and the like with suitable steam sources, steam heating type urea hydrolysis devices are widely used, but there are two major problems: first, the corrosion and maintenance problems are prominent. The trace amount of chloride ions and other corrosion components contained in the urea raw material will continuously enrich during the continuous operation of the hydrolysis device, and the urea hydrolysis reaction will generate intermediate products and by-products that are corrosive. Even if the industry conventionally uses intermittent blowdown to control the concentration of corrosion components, the corrosiveness of the hydrolysis liquid cannot be completely eliminated. The shell and internal heat exchange tube bundle of the existing urea hydrolysis device are mostly made of 316L stainless steel, and the wall thickness of the heat exchange tube bundle is only about 2 mm. It is inevitable to be corroded because it is immersed in the hydrolysis liquid for a long time and needs to withstand the working pressure. In actual application, the overall service life of the heat exchange tube bundle is about 5 years, during which it needs to be maintained once a year, and it needs to be overhauled or replaced as a whole after 5 years. There are problems of high replacement cost and complex construction process.
[0004] For some SCR denitration projects in the non-electricity industry such as steel and cement, steam heating type urea hydrolysis devices cannot be used due to the lack of suitable steam sources, and electric heating type urea hydrolysis devices are usually selected. The existing electric heating type urea hydrolysis device is mostly configured with a resistance heater, which has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost, but has obvious defects: first, the electric heating conversion efficiency is low; second, the resistance heating element needs to be directly immersed in the hydrolysis liquid, which is easy to be corroded by the corrosion components in the hydrolysis liquid, and the surface temperature of the resistance heating element is significantly higher than the medium temperature, which not only easily causes the heat exchange tube to be scaled, but also causes the heating element to be corroded and damaged, and there is a certain safety hazard.

[0029] Beneficial effects: The spiral blades in the flow guide cylinder can make the rising ammonia vapor form a rotating fluid. Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid droplets carried in the ammonia vapor will be thrown to the inner wall of the flow guide cylinder and fall along the wall.
