Its main function is to effectively isolate the low-pressure ground flare system from the production equipment to prevent the occurrence of flashback. Under normal working conditions, the water inlet of the water seal tank is connected to a water supply pipeline, and a pneumatic shut-off valve is installed on the pipeline. The system automatically controls the opening and closing of the valve according to the liquid level of the water seal tank, realizing the automatic management of automatic water supply at low liquid level and automatic valve closing at high liquid level.
[0004] However, in actual operation, since the water supply pipeline is located at the bottom of the water seal tank and the check valve is far away from the pipe mouth, when the automatic control valve is closed to stop the water supply, impurities such as oil and fine powder in the water seal tank are easy to accumulate on the water supply line, causing the water supply line to be blocked and unable to supply water normally. This blockage phenomenon not only affects the normal operation of the ground flare system, but also poses a potential threat to the safe production of the factory. Utility Model Content

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] Figure 1The first schematic diagram of the ground flare water seal tank water supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the water supply system of the ground flare water seal tank 8 includes a main water supply pipeline 1, a backup water supply pipeline 2, a medium pipeline 3, a first valve 4, a first check valve 5, a second valve 6, and a second check valve 7; the main water supply pipeline 1 is configured to supply water to the water seal tank 8; the backup water supply pipeline 2 is configured to be activated when the main water supply pipeline 1 fails; the input end of the backup water supply pipeline 2 is connected to the main water supply pipeline 1, and the output end of the backup water supply pipeline 2 is connected to the medium pipeline 3; the input end of the main water supply pipeline 1 is connected to a water source, and the output end of the main water supply pipeline 1 is connected to the bottom of the water seal tank 8; the first valve 4 and the first check valve 5 are both arranged on the backup water supply pipeline 2; the second valve 6 and the second check valve 7 are both arranged on the main water supply pipeline 1; the first valve 4 is arranged near the medium pipeline 3; the second valve 6 is arranged near the bottom of the water seal tank 8 and fits tightly with the bottom of the water seal tank 8.
[0020] Specifically, the main water supply pipeline 1, as the main water supply channel, directly connects the water source and the water seal tank 8 to ensure that the water seal tank 8 obtains continuous and stable water supply under normal working conditions. The main water supply pipeline 1 is installed with a second valve 6 and a second check valve 7. The second valve 6 is close to the bottom of the water seal tank 8 to ensure that the water flows directly and efficiently into the water seal tank 8. The second check valve 7 prevents the backflow of water to ensure the safety of the system. This setting method can provide a direct and efficient water supply path to ensure the water supply demand of the water seal tank 8. The setting of the check valve enhances the safety of the system. When the main water supply pipeline 1 fails or requires maintenance, the backup water supply pipeline 2 can be quickly activated to ensure that the water supply of the water seal tank 8 is not interrupted. The backup water supply pipeline 2 is provided with a first valve 4 and a first check valve 5. The first valve 4 is arranged near the medium pipeline 3 to prevent the medium from passing through the backup water supply pipeline 2.
[0021] Further, there is an 80-degree inclination angle between the standby water supply pipeline 2 and the medium pipeline 3. When the system starts or stops supplying water, there may be water flow fluctuations or residues in the pipeline. This inclination angle can help the water flow back to the water seal tank 8 smoothly instead of being stranded in the pipeline. Therefore, by selecting a suitable inclination angle, it can be ensured that water can be discharged or refluxed in time in the event of system abnormality or emergency, thereby reducing the risk of system damage or leakage. It should be noted that 80 degrees is not a fixed value. In practical applications, this angle may need to be adjusted according to factors such as specific system design, operating conditions, and medium properties. No matter what angle is chosen, it should be ensured that the system can operate safely and effectively and comply with relevant standards and regulations. The present application ensures the reliability of water supply through a double-pipe design of the main water supply pipeline 1 and the standby water supply pipeline 2, and can ensure that a certain liquid level is always maintained in the water seal tank 8 to play a sealing role. The setting of valves and check valves can effectively prevent water flow backflow and ensure system safety. The compact structural design reduces floor space and is easy to install and maintain.
[0022] It should be noted that the medium pipeline 3 is usually used to discharge or treat the medium in the flare system, such as exhaust gas. In the flare system, there are usually two medium pipelines 3, with sizes of 16 inches and 3 inches respectively. The backup water supply pipeline 2 of this application is connected to the medium pipeline 3 with a size of 16 inches because the diameter of the 16-inch medium pipeline 3 is large enough to ensure that the discharge of the medium pipeline 3 will not be affected when the water source is input through the backup water supply pipeline 2. The medium pipeline 3 is connected to the backup water supply pipeline 2, and through reasonable layout and connection, the smooth transmission of water flow is realized, the utilization efficiency of water resources is improved, and the reasonable layout reduces energy consumption and losses.
[0023] Specifically, the water supply system of the ground flare water seal tank 8 also includes a heat tracing line 9; the heat tracing line 9 is arranged on the standby water supply pipe 2. Considering that in some cases, especially in cold climates, the water in the standby water supply pipe 2 may freeze or freeze, thereby affecting the normal operation of the standby water supply pipe 2. The main function of the heat tracing line 9 is to provide heat to prevent the water in the standby water supply pipe 2 from freezing or freezing. It maintains the water temperature in the pipe by heating to ensure that the pipe can supply water normally under any environmental conditions. In order to ensure that the standby water supply pipe 2 can remain unobstructed in a cold environment, the heat tracing line 9 is arranged on the standby water supply pipe 2. The heat tracing line 9 is arranged on the standby water supply pipe 2 and fits closely with it to ensure that heat can be effectively transferred to the standby water supply pipe 2. The length of the heat tracing line 9 is usually matched with the length of the standby water supply pipe 2 to ensure that the entire standby water supply pipe 2 can be evenly heated. The heat tracing line 9 usually adopts an energy-efficient heating method, such as electric heating or steam heating, which helps to reduce energy consumption and emissions. The main water supply pipeline 1 may also be provided with a heating pipeline 9 .
[0024] Specifically, the water supply system of the ground flare water seal tank 8 also includes a dredging pipe 10 and a dredging valve 11; the dredging pipe 10 is connected to the main water supply pipe 1 and is vertically arranged at the main water supply pipe 1 near the second valve 6; the dredging valve 11 is arranged on the dredging pipe 10. This vertical design makes it more convenient to clean the blockage, and the blockage can be directly discharged by gravity or external force. The dredging valve 11 is arranged on the dredging pipe 10 to control the opening and closing of the dredging pipe 10. When the main water supply pipe 1 is blocked, the other valves on the main water supply pipe 1 can be closed, and then the dredging valve 11 can be opened, and the main water supply pipe 1 can be cleaned using the dredging pipe 10. By timely cleaning the blockage in the main water supply pipe 1, equipment damage and wear caused by pipe blockage can be avoided, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
[0025] Specifically, both the main water supply pipe 1 and the backup water supply pipe 2 are provided with insulation materials. The main function of the insulation material is to reduce the heat exchange between the water temperature in the pipe and the external environment, and to maintain the stability of the water temperature in the pipe. This is of great significance for preventing the pipe from freezing in a cold environment, maintaining the normal operation of the system, and improving energy efficiency. Insulation materials usually select materials with good thermal insulation performance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and fire resistance, such as rubber and plastic insulation materials, glass fiber insulation materials, etc. These materials can effectively reduce heat loss and improve the thermal insulation effect of the pipe. The insulation material should fit tightly to the surface of the pipe to ensure that there are no gaps and no exposed parts. It can be installed by wrapping, applying or spraying, and the specific method depends on the shape, size and working environment of the pipe.
[0026] Figure 2 The second schematic diagram of the ground flare water seal tank water supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application, during the use of the ground flare water seal tank 8 water supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the water seal tank 8 has a low liquid level alarm, the pneumatic shut-off valve on the pipeline opens automatically, and the system automatically supplies water according to the liquid level on the water seal tank 8, and the valve is automatically closed after the liquid level reaches the control level. The first valve 4 on the standby water supply pipeline 2 is normally closed, and the water seal tank 8 uses the main water supply pipeline 1 for water supply. When the water supply time of the water seal tank 8 becomes longer than before, the operator can judge that the main water inlet pipeline is blocked. At this time, it is necessary to close the second valve 6 on the main water inlet pipeline and open the first valve 4 on the standby water supply pipeline 2 for water supply, thereby realizing the liquid level control of the water seal tank 8. After the pipeline is unblocked, the operator switches back to the original main water supply pipeline 1 for water supply, and closes the first valve 4 of the standby water supply pipeline 2.
