Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of defoaming agent filling, in particular to a defoaming agent filling device for an LNG plant. Background Art

[0002] The amine liquid system is an important unit for natural gas purification in LNG plants. The amine liquid system is unstable in operation, which can easily cause unqualified deacidification and even freeze-blocking of the cold box. In addition, the overall replacement cost of the amine liquid is high. Using the existing equipment of the LNG plant for transformation can effectively solve the problem and reduce investment. The main reason for the instability of the amine liquid system is the foaming of the amine liquid. The frequency and degree of foaming of the amine liquid can be effectively reduced by adding a defoaming agent. For example, the rapid defoaming agent filling device with the announcement number "CN216825846U" has the defoaming agent to be added placed in the receiving chamber, and the driving motor drives the stirring rod to rotate in the receiving chamber, thereby stirring the defoaming agent. During the stirring process, the defoaming agent will form a number of vortex flows in the receiving chamber through the turbulent effect of the turbulent ribs, thereby improving the stirring efficiency of the defoaming agent and achieving a better stirring effect. The stirred defoamer is driven by the filling screw through the filling channel and flows from the filling port to the reaction solution to be filled. During this process, the defoamer is further squeezed and mixed in the filling channel, and its texture is more delicate, and the reaction effect after filling is better. At the same time, in this application, since the filling screw and the stirring rod are both connected to the drive motor, the stirring rod also rotates at the same time during the filling process, which can also largely avoid the situation where the defoamer is added without stirring due to operating errors of the staff. Finally, the filling speed of the defoamer can be controlled by controlling the speed of the drive motor. In this way, the structure of the rapid defoamer filling device of the present application is simple, and the efficiency of filling the defoamer is higher and the effect is better.

[0003] When the above mechanism is in use, the driving motor drives the stirring rod to rotate to stir the defoaming agent in the containing chamber, but lacks the function of quantitatively adding the defoaming agent. The existing defoaming agent filling device has the methods of filling by instrument air gas and manual pump, which cannot achieve the quantitative delivery of the defoaming agent and cannot ensure that all the defoaming agent effectively enters the amine liquid system, resulting in the defoaming agent being unable to fully exert its efficacy.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed that the defoaming agent filling device in the LNG plant can solve the above problems well. Utility Model Content

[0017] (1) The defoaming agent can be transported to the solvent tank through the metering pump and the connecting pipe, and the quantitative dosage of the defoaming agent can be achieved. At the same time, the motor drives the first stirring rod to rotate to stir and mix the materials in the solvent tank. The pressurization of the metering pump can ensure that the defoaming agent is always in a dissolved state and can ensure that the defoaming agent can be effectively added to the amine liquid system, thereby reducing the foaming frequency and degree of the amine liquid system and ensuring the overall stable operation of the LNG plant;

[0021] Furthermore, when the movable plate drives the first magnet away from the second magnet, the striking block is reset under the elastic force of the reset spring, and the above operation is repeated, so that the striking block strikes the outer side of the solvent box back and forth.

[0033] The staff installs two connecting pipes 6 at the output ends of the metering pump 3 respectively, and connects the other ends of the two connecting pipes 6 to the solvent tank 2 and the external liquid storage tank respectively, and then starts the metering pump 3. The metering pump 3 transports the defoaming agent inside the external liquid storage tank to the solvent tank 2 through the connecting pipe 6. At the same time, the liquid level meter 17 can be used to facilitate the staff to observe the height of the liquid level in the solvent tank 2, thereby realizing the quantitative delivery of the defoaming agent, and then starts the motor.

[0034] Embodiment 2: Different from Embodiment 1, this embodiment utilizes the bevel gear set 9 to drive the two second stirring rods 10 to rotate, thereby being able to stir the solution in the solvent box 2 longitudinally and transversely.
