[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic dehydration of liquefied gas tanks, in particular to a liquefied gas dehydration flash tank. Background Art
[0002] Liquid hydrocarbon is one of the important materials for processing and storage in petrochemical enterprises. The proportion of fire and explosion accidents caused by the leakage of liquid hydrocarbon accounts for a large proportion. Improving the safety of liquid hydrocarbon spherical storage tanks and avoiding or reducing the occurrence of accidents are the top priorities in actual production. The "Petrochemical Enterprise Fire Prevention Standard" requires that liquid hydrocarbon storage tanks be equipped with secondary dehydration facilities, and liquid hydrocarbon storage tanks are equipped with automatic water cut-off devices. However, during the water cut-off process, toxic and harmful gases in the sewage can easily escape and cause poisoning of operators. At the same time, the escaped gas can also cause fire or explosion in the working environment. Utility Model Content

[0020] The utility model provides Figure 1A liquefied gas dehydration flash tank shown in the figure comprises a liquid hydrocarbon water cutter 1, a flash tank 5 connected to the liquid hydrocarbon water cutter 1 through a dehydration pipeline 3, an automatic dehydration valve 2 and a Y-type filter 4 are arranged in sequence on the dehydration pipeline 3 along the flow direction of the hydrocarbon-containing wastewater, and the Y-type filter 4 is used to remove impurities in the hydrocarbon-containing wastewater in the dehydration pipeline 3, and by filtering out impurities in the fluid, the impurities are prevented from damaging valves and equipment, which helps to maintain the stability of the process;
[0021] The flash tank 5 is provided with a heater 14 and a thermometer 16. The flash tank 5 is respectively connected with a vent line 6, a drain line 8, a hot water inlet line 10, and a hot water return line 12.

The vent line 6, the drain line 8, the hot water inlet line 10, and the hot water return line 12 are respectively provided with a vent valve 7, a drain valve 9, an inlet valve 11, and a return valve 13. The vent line 6 is provided with a non-steady-state detonation arrester 15, and the vent line 6 is connected to the flare gas venting system.
[0022] The hydrocarbon-containing wastewater in the liquid hydrocarbon cutter 1 enters the Y-type filter 4 through the dehydration pipeline 3. The Y-type filter 4 filters the solid impurities in the wastewater and then transports it to the flash tank 5. The flash tank 5 provides a heat source to the heater 14 through the hot water inlet pipeline 10, and the hot water return pipeline 12 recovers the heat source. The thermometer 16 is electrically connected to the hot water inlet valve 11. When the temperature reaches the set temperature, the inlet valve 11 is closed to reduce the heat source supply. When the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the inlet valve 11 is opened to increase the heat source supply. After the hydrocarbon-containing wastewater in the flash tank 5 is heated by the heater 14, the hydrocarbon components in the hydrocarbon-containing wastewater will be vaporized, and enter the flare gas venting system after passing through the venting pipeline 6 and the non-steady-state detonation and flame arrester 15.
