[0016] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, an online continuous analysis system for trace water in methyl formate includes a gas-liquid separator 1, which is connected to a methyl formate production device via a pipeline. An inlet pneumatic valve 2, a three-way ball valve 3, an online analyzer 4 and an emergency shut-off valve 5 are sequentially arranged on the pipeline between the methyl formate production device and the gas-liquid separator 1, a temperature sensor 6 is arranged at the inlet end of the three-way ball valve 3, a built-in filter element 7 is arranged at the outlet end of the three-way ball valve 3, an electric heating 8 is coated on the three-way ball valve 3, and a gas-liquid separator 1 is sequentially arranged on the pipeline at the discharge port of the gas-liquid separator 1. The peristaltic pump 9 and the first check valve 10, the pipeline at the exhaust port position on the top of the gas-liquid separator 1 is provided with an air pump 11, a float flowmeter 12 and a second check valve 13 in sequence, the pipeline at the end of the first check valve 10 and the pipeline at the end of the second check valve 13 are respectively connected to the recovery equipment, and a purge mechanism is provided on the pipeline between the inlet pneumatic valve 2 and the gas-liquid separator 1; the inlet pneumatic valve 2, the three-way ball valve 3, the temperature sensor 6, the electric heating 8, the online analyzer 4, the emergency shut-off valve 5, the air pump 11, and the peristaltic pump 9 are respectively connected to the controller via wires.

[0017] Optionally, the purge mechanism includes a nitrogen gas supply device, the exhaust port pipeline of the nitrogen gas supply device is connected to the third end of the three-way ball valve 3, and a nitrogen purge valve 14 is provided on the pipeline; a pipeline connected to a vent pneumatic valve 15 is connected to the pipeline between the emergency shut-off valve 5 and the online analyzer 4, and the nitrogen purge valve 14 and the vent pneumatic valve 15 are respectively connected to the controller via wires.

[0018] Optionally, a temperature probe 16 is provided on the pipeline between the emergency shut-off valve 5 and the gas-liquid separator 1, and the temperature probe 16 is connected to the controller via a wire. The temperature probe 16 can timely measure and control the temperature of the raw material sample gas in the pipeline. When the temperature is lower than the component condensation temperature, a signal can be transmitted to the controller, thereby closing the inlet pneumatic valve 2 and the emergency shut-off valve 5, thereby stopping the system operation.

[0019] Optionally, the built-in filter element 7 is a micron-grade filter element.

[0020] When the system is running, the controller controls the vacuum pump 11 and the peristaltic pump 9 to open, so that negative pressure is formed in the gas-liquid separator 1, and the raw material sample gas is stably extracted from the methyl formate production device. The raw material sample gas enters the online analyzer 4 through the inlet pneumatic valve 2 and the three-way ball valve 3, and the gas components are detected by the online analyzer 4. The built-in filter element 7 set in the three-way ball valve 3 can filter the raw material sample gas and remove particulate impurities to avoid damaging the online analyzer 4. The function of the electric heating 8 is to prevent the condensable components in the raw material sample gas from condensing and affecting the analysis results of the analyzer. The analyzed raw material sample gas is drawn into the gas-liquid separator 1, and the gas in the gas-liquid separator 1 is extracted outward by the vacuum pump 11, and the float flowmeter 12 can check the flow of the gas, so that the gas is stably extracted outward, and the second check valve 13 ensures the one-way output of the gas. At the same time, the peristaltic pump 9 can stably pump out the liquid in the gas-liquid separator 1, and the first check valve 10 ensures that the liquid is output in a single line. Finally, the gas and liquid are uniformly collected by the recovery equipment.

[0021] When the sampling condition is abnormal and the system needs to be stopped, the controller controls the inlet pneumatic valve 2 and the emergency shut-off valve to close, and at the same time shuts down the vacuum pump 11 and the peristaltic pump 9, and opens the nitrogen purge valve 14 and the vent pneumatic valve 15. The nitrogen supply device fills nitrogen into the pipeline between the three-way ball valve 3 and the emergency shut-off valve 5 through the nitrogen purge valve 14 to prevent the analysis of the raw material sample gas that is easy to condense from stopping in the outside world, and the residual medium of the raw material sample gas condenses and remains in the online analyzer 4, thereby improving the service life of the online analyzer 4. It has a reasonable structural design, simple operation, time-saving and labor-saving, and integrates collection, transportation, detection, and analysis. It can regularly detect the raw material sample gas to avoid its volatilization, ensure the accuracy of the analyzed data, and provide real-time data guarantee for the exploration of process indicators, solving the problems existing in the prior art.
