Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of low-pressure slurry polyethylene, in particular to a hexane recovery optimization system. Background Art

[0002] In the powder purification unit in polyethylene production, the powder processing warehouse produces nitrogen, hexane, water, hydrogen chloride and hydrocarbon waste gases after processing the powder. In order to classify and recycle the waste gases, the above waste gases need to be passed into the spray tank to spray alkali solution to neutralize the acidic hydrogen chloride gas. Then the liquid phase and gas phase sprayed by the spray tank are transported to the three-phase separator through the liquid ring compressor for gas-liquid separation. The separated gas is passed into the gas separation membrane, and the mixed gas is recycled and processed separately. At this time, the main components of the liquid phase in the three-phase separator are liquid hexane and water. The liquid hexane and water are separated in the three-phase separator, and the hexane is separated and recycled.

[0003] When the liquid ring compressor is working, water needs to be continuously supplied to the liquid ring compressor to form a stable liquid ring. Conventional technical means use the water in the three-phase separator to transport it to the liquid ring compressor through the working fluid delivery pipeline. The three-phase separator must monitor the liquid level in the three-phase separator through a remote liquid level gauge. One end of the remote liquid level gauge is connected to the gas phase in the three-phase separator, and the other end is connected to the working fluid delivery pipeline. Since there is always liquid flowing in the working fluid delivery pipeline, the pointer of the remote liquid level gauge jumps, and the interface between water and hexane in the three-phase separator cannot be controlled in time. When the interface in the three-phase separator is too low, the water transported to the liquid ring compressor through the working fluid delivery pipeline contains some hexane. Due to the different densities of hexane and water, a stable liquid ring cannot be formed in the liquid ring compressor, causing the system to collapse. Utility Model Content

[0022] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps described in these embodiments, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​do not limit the scope of the utility model. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be regarded as a part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0023] In the description of the present utility model, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings.

[0026] The utility model provides a technical solution: a hexane recovery optimization system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a liquid ring compressor 1, a gas-liquid transmission pipeline 3, a three-phase separator 2, and a working liquid water replenishment line;

[0027] The liquid ring compressor 1 compresses the gas delivered from the spray tank after neutralization treatment and performs pressurization treatment. The inlet pressure of the liquid ring compressor 1 is about 3-4KPa, and the outlet pressure is about 0.5MPa.

[0028] The gas-liquid delivery pipeline 3 is used to connect the liquid ring compressor 1 with the three-phase separator 2 . The gas phase and liquid phase compressed by the liquid ring compressor 1 are delivered to the three-phase separator 2 through the gas-liquid delivery pipeline 3 .

[0029] The three-phase separator 2 is connected to the liquid ring compressor 1 through the gas-liquid transmission pipeline 3, and separates the gas phase and the liquid phase transmitted by the liquid ring compressor 1, wherein the liquid phase component is liquid phase hexane, the main component of the gas phase is nitrogen, and the gas phase hexane (the gas phase component also contains water vapor and chloride ions).

[0030] The first hand valve is arranged on the gas-liquid delivery pipeline 3 and is located near the gas outlet of the liquid ring compressor 1, so that the gas phase and the liquid phase in the gas-liquid delivery pipeline 3 flow to the three-phase separator 2 or stop and control the flow rate.

[0031] The second hand valve is arranged on the gas-liquid delivery pipeline 3 and is located near the liquid-gas inlet position of the three-phase separator 2, so that the gas phase and liquid phase in the gas-liquid delivery pipeline 3 flow to the three-phase separator 2 or stop and control their flow rate.

[0032] The gas phase discharge pipeline has one end connected to the gas outlet of the three-phase separator 2, and the other end connected to the membrane recovery system. After separation in the three-phase separator 2, the gas phase is transported to the membrane recovery system through the gas phase discharge pipeline for gas phase separation. The main component structure of the membrane recovery system is the separation membrane, which separates gases of different densities respectively through the separation membrane to realize the gas recovery function of different components.

[0033] One end of the hexane discharge pipeline is connected to the three-phase separator 2, and the other end is connected to the hexane tank. The liquid hexane in the three-phase separator 2 is discharged from the three-phase separator 2 through the hexane discharge pipeline, thereby realizing the separation and recovery of the liquid hexane.

[0034] The working liquid replenishment line 11, one end of which is connected to the three-phase separator 2, is used to replenish the working liquid in the three-phase separator 2 in real time. The working liquid is composed of desalted water. Since the waste gas generated by the powder processing bin contains acidic gas, it enters the spray tower for alkaline liquid spraying. After a long period of work, the liquid phase transported to the three-phase separator 2 via the liquid ring compressor 1 will be in an acid-base imbalance state, and the liquid level in the three-phase separator 2 must be controlled to ensure a certain height so that the liquid phase hexane and water can be successfully separated. Therefore, the working liquid must be introduced into the three-phase separator 2 in real time according to different working conditions.

[0035] The liquid ring compressor replenishing pipeline 7 is connected to the three-phase separator 2 at one end and to the liquid ring compressor 1 at the other end. The liquid ring compressor replenishing pipeline 7 is used to connect the three-phase separator 2 with the liquid ring compressor 1. During the operation of the liquid ring compressor 1, the working fluid inside it will be discharged from the liquid ring compressor 1 along with the compressed gas, so it is necessary to replenish the working fluid into the liquid ring compressor 1. The composition of the working fluid in the liquid ring compressor 1 is the same as that in the three-phase separator 2, and both are desalted water.

[0036] The metering pipeline 4 has one end connected to the three-phase separator 2 and the other end blocked by a blind plate 6. The metering pipeline 4 is used to cooperate with the remote level meter 5 to monitor the liquid level in the three-phase separator 2.

[0037] The remote level gauge 5 has one end connected to the three-phase separator 2 and the other end connected to the metering pipeline 4. The remote level gauge 5 monitors the liquid level of the three-phase separator 2. The end of the remote level gauge 5 connected to the three-phase separator 2 is connected to the gas phase inside the three-phase separator 2. Since there is no liquid flowing in the metering pipeline 4, the end of the remote level gauge 5 connected to the metering pipeline 4 measures the pressure value of the static liquid inside the metering pipeline 4, which solves the technical problem of the pointer jumping of the remote level gauge 5 and greatly improves the measurement accuracy of the remote level gauge 5. The remote level gauge 5 can transmit the liquid level data in the three-phase separator 2 to the control system.

[0038] The system also includes a working fluid cooler 8, a third hand valve, and a fourth hand valve, which are all arranged on the liquid ring compressor replenishment pipeline 7, the third hand valve is located at the inlet position of the working fluid cooler 8, and the fourth hand valve is located at the outlet position of the working fluid cooler 8. When the working fluid in the three-phase separator 2 needs to be transported to the liquid ring compressor 1, the third hand valve and the fourth hand valve should be opened first, and the working fluid in the three-phase separator 2 is cooled by the working fluid cooler 8 and then passed into the liquid ring compressor 1;

[0039] It also includes a working liquid wastewater discharge pipeline 9, one end of which is connected to the liquid ring compressor replenishment pipeline 7, and the other end is connected to the wastewater pipeline. Since the liquid phase after spraying by the spray tank has an acid-base imbalance, the liquid phase after spraying is transported to the three-phase separator 2 through the liquid ring compressor 1, so that the working liquid in the three-phase separator 2 has an acid-base imbalance problem. At this time, part of the working liquid needs to be discharged to the outside of the three-phase separator 2. The working liquid with acid-base imbalance is transported to the working liquid wastewater discharge pipeline 9 through the compressor replenishment pipeline 7 and discharged from the three-phase separator 2;

[0040] It also includes a stop-liquid replenishment pipeline 10, a fifth hand valve, and a flow meter. One end of the stop-liquid replenishment pipeline 10 is connected to the liquid ring compressor replenishment pipeline 7, and the other end is connected to the liquid ring compressor 1. The fifth hand valve and the flow meter are both arranged on the stop-liquid replenishment pipeline 10. Before the liquid ring compressor 1 starts working, a certain liquid level is required in the liquid ring compressor 1. The fifth hand valve is opened, and the third and fourth hand valves are closed to transport the working fluid in the three-phase separator 2 to the liquid ring compressor 1 through the stop-liquid replenishment pipeline 10.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model:

[0042] Before the liquid ring compressor 1 starts working, open the fifth hand valve, close the third hand valve and the fourth hand valve, and transport the working fluid from the three-phase separator 2 to the liquid ring compressor 1 through the parking and replenishing pipeline 10. After the above preparations are completed, open the first hand valve and the second hand valve, and the gas phase and liquid phase neutralized by the spray tank are transported to the three-phase separator 2 through the liquid ring compressor 1 through the gas-liquid transport pipeline 3. The three-phase separator 2 separates the transported gas phase and liquid phase, and the gas phase is transported to the membrane recovery system through the gas phase discharge pipeline for separation and recovery; the liquid phase hexane and water are separated in the three-phase separator 2, and the separated liquid phase hexane is transported to the hexane tank through the hexane discharge pipeline. The remote level meter 5 detects the liquid level in the three-phase separator 2. When the liquid level in the three-phase separator 2 is too low, the working fluid is replenished into the three-phase separator 2 through the working liquid replenishing line 11. Since the remote level gauge 5 is connected to the gas phase in the three-phase separator 2 and the other end is connected to the metering pipeline 4, the remote level gauge 5 does not have the technical problem of inaccurate measurement caused by pointer fluctuation. When the working fluid in the liquid ring compressor 1 needs to be replenished, open the third hand valve and the fourth hand valve, close the fifth hand valve, and the three-phase separator 2 continuously replenishes the liquid ring compressor 1 through the liquid ring compressor replenishment pipeline 7. When the working fluid in the three-phase separator 2 has an imbalance in pH, close the third hand valve, the fourth hand valve, and the fifth hand valve, and discharge the working fluid in the three-phase separator 2 through the working fluid wastewater pipeline 9.

[0043] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
