DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the utility model clearer, the utility model is now described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basics of the utility model in a schematic manner, so it only shows the structure related to 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 embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a condensate utilization system for styrene production, which is used to recycle the condensate generated in the production and processing of styrene, thereby saving water resources, reducing waste and lowering production costs.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the condensate utilization system for styrene production provided by the utility model comprises a first reactor 10, a second reactor 20, an oil-water separation tank 30, a filtering device 40, a heat exchanger 50 and a steam generator 60. The first reactor 10 is connected to the second reactor 20, the second reactor 20 is connected to the oil-water separation tank 30, the oil-water separation tank 30 is connected to the filtering device 40, the heat exchanger 50 is connected to the filtering device 40, and the steam generator 60 is connected to both the heat exchanger 50 and the second reactor 20.
[0021] The industrial production method of styrene is to use benzene and ethylene as raw materials, firstly carry out alkylation reaction under certain conditions to produce ethylbenzene, then mix ethylbenzene with steam in a certain proportion and carry out dehydrogenation under certain conditions, and the product after ethylbenzene dehydrogenation is cooled and separated from oil to extract styrene. Process water is produced during the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction, and the process water contains a small amount of polymers and other impurities. If it is directly discharged, it will cause environmental pollution. In addition, high-temperature steam is required during the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction to ensure the smooth progress of the dehydrogenation reaction.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the first reactor 10 is used for the reaction of benzene and ethylene. Benzene and ethylene react in the first reactor 10 to generate ethylbenzene. A first feed pipe 11 and a second feed pipe 13 are provided on the side of the first reactor 10. Benzene material and ethylene material for the reaction are respectively added into the first reactor 10 through the first feed pipe 11 and the second feed pipe 13. A first conveying pipe 12 is provided between the first reactor 10 and the second reactor 20. The ethylbenzene generated in the first reactor 10 is conveyed to the second reactor 20 through the first conveying pipe 12.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the second reactor 20 is used for dehydrogenation reaction of ethylbenzene with steam. The ethylbenzene in the second reactor 20 undergoes dehydrogenation reaction under the action of a catalyst and the introduction of high-temperature steam. The dehydrogenation reaction of ethylbenzene produces a mixture containing a large amount of organic matter such as styrene and ethylbenzene as well as water and other impurities.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a second delivery pipe 21 is provided between the second reactor 20 and the oil-water separation tank 30. The second delivery pipe 21 is used to deliver the above-mentioned mixture produced by the dehydrogenation reaction in the second reactor 20 to the oil-water separation tank 30. The mixture delivered to the oil-water separation tank 30 separates water under the action of the oil-water separation tank 30. The separated water is process water containing a small amount of polymer and other impurities.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a first water pipe 31 is arranged between the oil-water separation tank 30 and the filter device 40. The process water separated by the oil-water separation tank 30 can be transported to the filter device 40 through the first water pipe 31. The process water is filtered and purified by the filter device 40. Specifically, harmful gases, particles, etc. in the process water are physically adsorbed by activated carbon, thereby purifying the process water.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a second water pipe 51 is provided between the filter device 40 and the heat exchanger 50, one end of the second water pipe 51 is communicated with the interior of the filter device 40, and the other end of the second water pipe 51 is communicated with the water inlet of the heat exchanger 50. A third water pipe 52 is provided between the heat exchanger 50 and the steam generator 60, one end of the third water pipe 52 is communicated with the water outlet of the heat exchanger 50, and the other end of the third water pipe 52 is communicated with the steam generator 60. The process water after filtration and purification in the filter device 40 is transported into the heat exchanger 50 through the second water pipe 51 for heat exchange, and the process water after heat exchange and temperature rise enters the steam generator 60 from the heat exchanger 50 through the third water pipe 52, and the steam generator 60 is used to convert the process water after heat exchange into high-temperature steam.
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the heat exchanger 50 is provided with a steam inlet pipe 53 for introducing hot steam into the heat exchanger 50, and the hot steam is used to heat exchange and heat up the process water entering the heat exchanger 50. The heat exchanger 50 is also provided with a condensate outlet pipe 54, and condensate is formed after the hot steam is heat exchanged. The condensate outlet pipe 54 is used for the condensate to flow out. One end of the condensate outlet pipe 54 is connected to the heat exchanger 50, and the other end of the condensate outlet pipe 54 is connected to the third water pipe 52. Through such a configuration, the generated condensate can be transported together with the process water through the third water pipe 52 into the steam generator 60 for generating high-temperature steam, so that the condensate generated by the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 50 can be recycled, reducing waste and reducing costs.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a third delivery pipe 61 is provided between the steam generator 60 and the second reactor 20. The condensate generated by heat exchange is transported together with the process water through the third water delivery pipe 52 into the steam generator 60 to generate high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam generator 60 is transported to the second reactor 20 through the third delivery pipe 61. The ethylbenzene in the second reactor 20 undergoes a dehydrogenation reaction under the action of the high-temperature steam.
[0029] The condensate utilization system for styrene production also includes a storage tank 70. The oil-water separation tank 30 is connected to the storage tank 70 via a third delivery pipe 71. The product of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation is separated into oil and water in the oil-water separation tank 30 to obtain styrene, and the styrene is transported into the storage tank 70 via the third delivery pipe 71 for storage.
[0030] The condensate utilization system for styrene production provided by the utility model comprises a first reactor 10, a second reactor 20, an oil-water separation tank 30, a filtering device 40, a heat exchanger 50 and a steam generator 60. The process water generated in the process of styrene production is filtered and purified and heated by heat exchange in sequence. One end of the condensate outlet pipe 54 is connected to the third water pipe 52. The condensate generated in the heat exchange process of the heat exchanger 50 and the process water are transported together through the third water pipe 52 into the steam generator 60 for generating high-temperature steam, so that the condensate generated by the heat exchange can be recycled, which can reduce waste and reduce costs. Compared with directly passing the generated process water through the steam generator to generate steam, preheating the process water through the heat exchanger and then passing the heated process water through the steam generator to generate steam can save the consumed heat, and the condensate generated in the heat exchange process can also enter the steam generator together with the process water to generate steam, and the utilization rate is high.
