Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of 1,4-butanediol production, in particular to an esterification catalyst dosing system for a BDO device. Background Art

[0002] The esterification catalyst used in the BDO unit is alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, which is an acidic catalyst with corrosiveness and certain toxicity. Therefore, there are certain safety risks when adding the esterification catalyst. The esterification reaction section needs to add a certain amount of esterification catalyst within the specified time. The current method of adding is to pump the catalyst barrel connecting hose into the catalyst collection tank V-5460 by a diaphragm pump, and then send it to the pre-esterification reactor R-5400 and the esterification reactor by the catalyst circulation pump P-5462A / B. After the reaction is completed, it flows through the high-pressure separation tank and the low-pressure separation tank, and the esterification catalyst is separated as a circulating catalyst and enters the catalyst collection tank to enter the next cycle. The existing method requires more personnel to operate, and multiple hoses need to be connected on site, which causes chaos on site and increases safety hazards. At the same time, considering environmental factors, the weather in the north is cold, and the medium in the pipeline is easy to freeze, so the original method of adding esterification catalyst must be improved.

[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0016] The starting point of the utility model is to optimize the filling process of the esterification catalyst, protect personal safety and equipment safety, and improve the efficiency of adding the catalyst. Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the utility model discloses an esterification catalyst dosing system for a BDO device, comprising a catalyst circulation pump and a pre-esterification reactor, which are connected by a main line, a regulating valve is arranged on the main line, and the inlet and outlet ends of the regulating valve are respectively provided with a first manual valve and a second manual valve (i.e., two valves on the left and right sides of the regulating valve FV-54005 in the figure), and also comprises: an esterification catalyst barrel 2, a funnel 3, an esterification catalyst buffer tank 1 and a connecting pipeline, wherein the input end and the output end of the esterification catalyst buffer tank are respectively connected to the main line through a material inlet pipe and a mixed material output pipe, that is, the connecting pipeline comprises a material inlet pipe and a mixed material output pipe, wherein the material inlet pipe is arranged between the first manual valve and the regulating valve, the mixed material output pipe is arranged between the regulating valve and the second manual valve, and the esterification catalyst barrel is connected to the esterification catalyst buffer tank through the funnel.

[0017] In this embodiment, a platform for placing the esterification catalyst barrel is required. Under the action of the pressure difference before and after the regulating valve and the control of the hand valve, the fresh catalyst in the tank enters the newly added esterification catalyst buffer tank, and then the material mixed with the catalyst enters the main line, and the catalyst and the material are brought into the pre-esterification reactor and the esterification reactor.

[0023] Furthermore, the esterification catalyst buffer tank is connected to a steam supply pipe, and a steam flow regulating valve 5 is provided on the steam supply pipe.

[0024] Pipelines for connecting nitrogen and steam are set on the tank. Nitrogen is used to supplement the pressure when the pressure difference is insufficient. After all the catalyst in the tank is sent to the reactor, it is purged with steam to prevent materials or catalysts from remaining in the tank and pipelines, so as to prevent corrosion of the pipelines and freezing. Taking environmental factors into consideration, when the temperature is too low in winter, heating and insulation measures such as heating tapes and thermal insulation cotton need to be installed on the preset pipelines.
