Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trioxymethylene production process, in particular to a stable storage device for trioxymethylene. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of polyoxymethylene, the monomers of copolymer polyoxymethylene are composed of trioxane and dioxolane. Trioxane, also known as trioxane, is an organic compound, mainly used as an intermediate of engineering plastic polyoxymethylene and other chemicals, and can also be used as a disinfectant and a colorless and flameless fuel.
[0003] At present, the product storage method of tripolyformaldehyde production enterprises is to use storage tanks, and use 95℃ hot water coils to heat the bottom of the tanks. The top of the tanks includes feed pipelines, reflux pipelines, exhaust pipelines, nitrogen sealing pipelines, remote transmission diaphragm box pressure gauges, remote transmission wave radar level gauges, etc.
[0004] Since trioxymethylene is active in nature, has a melting point of 64°C, is easy to self-polymerize, and is easy to volatilize and decompose under high temperature conditions, the current storage of trioxymethylene has caused great difficulties for various companies.
[0005] When the storage temperature of trioxymethylene is below 80℃ for a long time, trioxymethylene will slowly form polymers, scale or crystallize, thus blocking pipelines, equipment and instruments, affecting the continuity of trioxymethylene production. If the temperature is too high, trioxymethylene will volatilize, blocking the tail gas pipeline on the top of the storage tank, the membrane box of the remote instrument, etc., resulting in inaccurate display of the tank pressure and liquid level. Monitoring errors may even cause safety accidents, posing a major safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a stable storage device for trioxymethylene to solve the problem that the temperature of the existing trioxymethylene is unstable during temporary storage, which easily leads to the scaling of trioxymethylene to block pipelines, storage tanks, instruments and other equipment, or the decomposition and volatilization blocks the instrument diaphragm box and causes inaccurate measurement.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the basic scheme provided by the utility model is: a stable storage device for trioxymethylene, comprising a storage tank, a feed pipeline, a conveying unit for discharging and a cascade control system, wherein the feed pipeline is connected to the storage tank, the top of the storage tank is connected to a first exhaust gas pipeline, the first exhaust gas pipeline is connected to a first nitrogen pipeline, the first exhaust gas pipeline is connected to an exhaust gas absorption tower, the first nitrogen pipeline and the first exhaust gas pipeline are respectively connected to a remote pressure gauge and a first regulating valve, the remote pressure gauge and the first regulating valve are respectively communicated with the cascade control system, the storage tank is connected to two remote pressure differential level gauges, and the outer wall of the storage tank is connected to a heating unit for heating the storage tank.
[0008] The principle and beneficial effect of the utility model are as follows: the utility model inputs the produced trioxymethylene into the storage tank through the feed pipeline, inputs nitrogen into the storage tank through the first nitrogen pipeline to realize the nitrogen sealing operation, so that the top of the storage tank and the vicinity are filled with nitrogen, thereby playing a role in inhibiting the decomposition and volatilization of trioxymethylene; the storage tank is heated by the heating unit, which reduces the volatilization of trioxymethylene and the scaling during the storage process, and also reduces the decomposition of trioxymethylene; the remote pressure gauge and the first regulating valve are controlled by the cascade control system to control the storage tank pressure under the condition of 30KPa, further reducing the trioxymethylene entering the first tail gas pipeline and thus blocking the first tail gas pipeline. The trioxymethylene storage tank can be evenly heated during the storage process, effectively reducing the number of stops during the polyoxymethylene production process, thereby ensuring the continuity of polyoxymethylene production.
[0009] Solution 2, which is the preferred basic solution, the delivery unit includes a discharge pipeline and a delivery pump, the discharge pipeline is connected to the bottom of the storage tank, a filter is connected between the inlet of the delivery pump of the discharge pipeline, a delivery pipeline is connected between the outlet of the delivery pump and the post-processing unit and the polymerization unit, and a shower valve is connected to the inlet and outlet pipelines of the filter respectively;
[0010] Start the delivery pump, and when the liquid level of trioxymethylene in the storage tank reaches 10% of the total volume of the storage tank, open the valve on the delivery pipeline to deliver the trioxymethylene to the polymerization unit or other post-processing units.
[0011] Option three is a preferred option of option two. A first reflux pipeline is connected between the feed pipeline and the storage tank, and a second regulating valve is connected to the first reflux pipeline. When the liquid level in the storage tank reaches 5% of the total volume of the storage tank, the second regulating valve is opened and the valve on the feed pipeline is kept closed. After trioxymethylene comes out of the discharge pipeline, it is pumped back into the storage tank by the delivery pump to form a cycle, thereby stabilizing the pressure in the delivery pump and the discharge pipeline.
[0012] Solution 4, which is the preferred solution of the basic solution, the heating unit is an external heating coil, a water supply pipeline and a return water pipeline, the external heating coil is wound and connected to the outer wall of the storage tank, the water supply pipeline and the return water pipeline are respectively connected to the external heating coil, and the outer wall of the storage tank is coated with thermal conductive paste;
[0013] By wrapping an external heating coil around the storage tank, it helps to heat and insulate the tank, so that the storage temperature of trioxymethylene is stabilized at around 80°C, reducing the volatilization of trioxymethylene and scaling during storage, and also reducing the decomposition of trioxymethylene. At the same time, compared with the conventional full-jacket method for heating the storage tank, it avoids to a certain extent the problems of large investment in full-jacketed tanks, high manufacturing requirements, and uneven insulation caused by bias flow in the blind area of heating of the interface pipes; by applying thermal conductive putty on the outer wall of the storage tank, it helps to ensure that the tank is heated evenly.
[0014] Scheme 5, which is a preferred embodiment of Scheme 4, each of the two interfaces of the remote differential pressure level gauge connected to the storage tank is respectively connected to a purge ring, each of the purge rings is connected to the storage tank, and each of the purge rings is connected to a second nitrogen pipeline;
[0015] By setting a purge ring at the measuring point of the storage tank on the remote pressure differential level gauge and using the purge ring to purge the remote pressure differential level gauge through the second nitrogen pipeline, it is avoided that the trioxymethylene structure blocks the membrane box and thus affects the measurement effect.
[0016] Scheme 6, which is a preferred embodiment of Scheme 5, the top of the storage tank is connected to a second tail gas pipeline, the second tail gas pipeline is connected to a tail gas absorption tower, a bursting disc and a safety valve are connected to the second tail gas pipeline, and the bursting disc and the safety valve are connected in series;
[0017] The tripping pressure of the safety valve is 100KPa. When the pressure in the storage tank exceeds 30KPa and reaches 100KPa, the bursting disc will explode. After the bursting disc explodes, the safety valve will trip, and the gas in the storage tank will enter the exhaust gas absorption tower from the second exhaust gas pipeline.
[0018] Option 7, which is a preferred embodiment of Option 3, a second reflux pipeline is connected between the feed pipeline and the storage tank; by setting the second reflux pipeline, the second reflux pipeline is used as a reflux pipeline between the polymerization unit or other post-processing unit and the storage tank, so as to prevent the polymerization unit or the post-processing unit from stopping the feed pump when it is in a parking state;
[0019] If the subsequent process is stopped and the delivery pump is turned off, the residual trioxymethylene in the discharge pipeline from the delivery pump inlet to the storage tank will scale or crystallize and block the discharge pipeline after a long period of cooling. Therefore, a second reflux pipeline is set to ensure the smoothness of the process cycle.
[0020] Option 8, which is a preferred option of Option 5, is that each of the purge rings is provided with a heating jacket on the outside, and each heating jacket is filled with 135°C steam; by providing a heating jacket, the nitrogen passed into the purge ring is heated by steam, thereby ensuring that the temperature at the measuring point of the remote pressure differential level gauge will not cause the trioxyformaldehyde structure to block the diaphragm box of the instrument and cause inaccurate measurement.
[0021] Option nine, which is the preferred option of the basic option, is that the storage tank is connected to two thermometers; the temperature in the storage tank is detected in real time by the thermometers, so that the temperature of the trioxymethylene can be stabilized at 80-85°C without volatilization or crystallization in large quantities.
[0022] Option 10 is a preferred option of Option 2, wherein the filter is a basket filter; by using the basket filter to filter the residue of trioxymethylene, the filtering accuracy is high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
