The above detection has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1) It is necessary to take samples in the workshop. Since the alkylation process involves flammable and explosive materials, there is a risk of gas leakage when taking samples on site.

[0005] 2) There are large human errors in gas sampling and injection;

[0006] 3) Frequent sampling increases the labor costs of the laboratory, and the costs of consumables and chromatographic maintenance also increase.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3 .

[0039] The fixed bed reactor circulating gas detection system includes a cabinet 100, a booster exhaust pump 200, a gas filter device 310, a gas detector 320, a measuring gas flow meter 330, a gas drying device 340, an explosion-proof electrical control box 400, a detection gas pressure reducing valve and an oil-gas separator 390, a sampling three-way manual valve 360, an exhaust flow regulating valve 380, a drain solenoid valve 370, a detection gas inlet connector 510, a detection gas exhaust port connector 520, a gas detector drain port connector 530 (calibration gas inlet connector), a gas filter device drain port connector 540 and a detection gas sampling port connector 550.

[0040] The gas filter device 310 uses a filter element with a filtration accuracy of 10μm. The equipment has an automatic drainage function. The setting time is every 10 minutes, and the drainage is 3 seconds. The drainage manual valve at the bottom is always open. When the solenoid valve fails, the manual valve is closed and the equipment can continue to operate.

[0041] The sensor of the gas detector 320 is isolated from the external gas, so that the sensor only measures the gas in the pipeline.

[0042] The measuring gas flow meter 330 measures the sensor gas flow entering the gas detector 320, and the flow is adjusted to about 0.4L / min through the regulating valve at the lower end of the flow meter.

[0043] The exhaust flow regulating valve 380 adjusts the exhaust flow of the detection gas and coordinates the flow of the measured gas flow meter 330 (generally, the flow regulating valve is adjusted to the maximum opening. If the flow of the gas detector 320 cannot reach about 0.4L / min when the opening is adjusted to the maximum value, the regulating valve should be closed a little bit).

[0044] The gas drying device 340 has a built-in highly absorbent desiccant to dry the filtered gas and increase the life of the gas detector 320 (when the particles inside turn pink, the drying device needs to be replaced);

[0045] The high-pressure gas entering the detection gas pressure reducing valve and the oil-gas separator 390 is reduced in pressure to a pressure suitable for the gas detector 320 through this pressure reducing valve. It has its own pressure gauge to display the gas pressure after decompression; the separated liquid is manually discharged.

[0046] The gas filter 310, gas detector 320, measuring gas flow meter 330, gas drying device 340, detection gas pressure reducing valve and oil-gas separator 390, sampling three-way manual valve 360 ​​are all arranged in the cabinet 100. When in use, the bottom bracket of the cabinet 100 or the wall mounting can be selected according to the situation.

[0047] The gas filter device drain port connector 540 , the detection gas inlet connector 510 , the detection gas exhaust port connector 520 , the gas detector drain port connector 530 and the detection gas sampling port connector 550 are all fixed to the side wall of the cabinet 100 and their respective ends extend out of the cabinet 100 .

[0048] The detection gas inlet connector 510, the gas filter device 310, the detection gas pressure reducing valve and the oil-gas separator 390, the gas drying device 340, the measuring gas flow meter 330, the gas detector 320 and the detection gas exhaust connector 520 are connected in sequence through pipelines and constitute a delivery channel for the detection gas to pass through.

[0049] The sampling three-way manual valve 360 ​​is arranged on the pipeline between the detection gas pressure reducing valve and the oil-gas separator 390 and the gas drying device 340. The first inlet of the sampling three-way manual valve 360 ​​is connected to the outlet of the detection gas pressure reducing valve and the oil-gas separator 390 through a pipeline, the first outlet of the sampling three-way manual valve 360 ​​is connected to the inlet of the gas drying device 340 through a pipeline, and the second outlet of the sampling three-way manual valve 360 ​​is connected to the detection gas sampling port connector 550 through a pipeline.

[0050] The gas filter device drain port connector 540 is connected to the gas filter device 310 drain port connector via a pipeline, and the drain solenoid valve 370 is disposed on the pipeline between the gas filter device drain port connector 540 and the gas filter device 310 drain port connector.

[0051] The inlet end of the measuring gas flow meter 330 and the outlet end of the gas detector 320 are respectively provided with three-way connections, and the two ports of the exhaust flow regulating valve 380 are respectively connected to the three-way connections of the inlet end of the measuring gas flow meter 330 and the outlet end of the gas detector 320 through pipelines.

[0052] The gas detector drain port connector 530 is connected to the gas detector 320 drain port connector via a pipeline.

[0053] The detection gas exhaust port connector 520 is connected to the inlet of the boost exhaust pump 200 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the boost exhaust pump 200 is connected to the external gas storage tank through a pipeline. The detection gas can reach a pressure of 0.35MPa after passing through the boost exhaust pump 200. A check valve 210 is provided at the outlet of the boost exhaust pump 200.

[0054] The pipelines are all made of 6mm stainless steel pipes or copper pipes, and all interface sizes are made of 6mm stainless steel ferrule joints.

[0055] The circuit control of the fixed bed reactor circulating gas detection system is concentrated in the explosion-proof electrical control box 400, which is used to control the electrical part of the entire detection system to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system. The detection gas pressure reducing valve and the oil-gas separator 390 are used to adjust the pressure of the detection gas to adapt it to the processing requirements of the subsequent device. The oil-gas separator is used to separate the oil and gas in the gas to avoid the interference of the oil on the detection results. The fixed bed reactor circulating gas detection system needs to provide two separate power supplies, one for the system control and the vacuum device (voltage: AC220V), and one for the gas detector 320.

[0056] The explosion-proof electrical control box 400 is provided with a mute button 441, a detector alarm indicator light 442, a filter device drainage indicator light 443, an on-site sound and light alarm 444, an equipment operation indicator light 445, an equipment start knob 446, and a power switch 447.

[0057] When the gas concentration reaches the lower alarm limit of the detector, the alarm indicator light turns on and the on-site sound and light alarm sounds. Press this button to stop the sound and light alarm.

[0058] Detector alarm indicator light 442, when the detector low alarm output, the light is on, and the sound and light alarm sounds;

[0059] The filter device drain indicator light 443 is on when the filter device drain solenoid valve 370 is powered on;

[0060] On-site sound and light alarm 444 When the gas concentration reaches the lower alarm value of the detector, the on-site sound and light alarm sounds;

[0061] The equipment operation indicator light 445 is on when the equipment start button is turned on and the vacuum pump is powered on and running;

[0062] The equipment starts the knob 446. When this knob is turned, the vacuum pump starts, the test gas is inlet, the solenoid valve loses power, and the filter drain solenoid valve 370 opens for 3 seconds every 10 minutes (because the inlet gas is positive pressure gas, the test gas inlet solenoid valve does not need to be closed when the drain solenoid valve 370 is opened);

[0063] The power switch 447 turns on the power of the device, the entire device is powered on, the detector is powered on, and the vacuum pump and the drain solenoid valve 370 are powered off.

[0064] The explosion-proof electrical control box 400 is also provided with a power supply inlet 410, a detector signal power supply inlet and outlet 420 and a spare interface 430. The detector signal power supply inlet and outlet 420 connector is a separate power supply interface for the detector power supply, and the output signal is: 4-20mA; the spare interface 430 is an interface thread.

[0065] When in use, adjust the gas flow meter 330 for gas measurement, open the flow regulating valve of the gas detector 320 to the maximum, and adjust the flow of the gas flow meter 330 to about 0.4L / min (if the gas flow meter 330 cannot adjust to this flow, the flow regulating valve is slightly closed to make the flow of the gas flow meter 330 to about 0.4L / min); the equipment starts to work normally;

[0066] When sampling the test gas, when the arrow of the three-way valve handle points to the right, the device works normally. When sampling is required, rotate the arrow of the three-way valve handle to the left and connect it to the test gas sampling port connector 550 to achieve test gas sampling. After sampling is completed, the three-way valve returns to the initial position and the device works normally.

[0067] When the desiccant in the gas drying device 340 changes from blue to pink, it is necessary to replace the desiccant. When replacing, loosen the upper and lower ferrules, open the fixing clips, take out the drying device, unscrew the top cover, pour out the expired desiccant, replace it with a new desiccant, tighten the cover, secure and connect it, and then it can be operated again. The replaced desiccant will turn blue when exposed to the sun or heated, and can be reused 2-3 times.

[0068] See also Figure 4 .

[0069] The method for detecting thymol raw material gas using the above-mentioned fixed bed reactor circulating gas detection system (the raw material gas is a mixed gas of propylene and nitrogen, and the raw material gas requires a propylene concentration of 45-70%), comprises the following steps:

[0070] The raw material gas with a pressure of 0.4 MPa is introduced into the detection gas inlet connector 510;

[0071] The raw gas passes through the gas filter device 310, the detection gas pressure reducing valve and oil-gas separator 390, and the gas drying device 340 in sequence to reach the gas detector 320;

[0072] In this process, the raw gas goes through the pressure reducing valve, drying, filtering, and separation process, and the pressure of the raw gas becomes 50-100KPa;

[0073] The raw gas enters the gas detector 320 for detection, and the pressure of the raw gas becomes 0.35 MPa after passing through the booster exhaust pump 200;

[0074] The tested raw gas is transported to an external gas tank for storage.

[0075] The gas filtering device 310 can effectively remove impurities in the raw gas to ensure the accuracy of the test results; the test gas pressure reducing valve and oil-gas separator 390 can adjust the pressure of the raw gas to an appropriate range to avoid damage to the gas detector 320; the gas drying device 340 can remove moisture from the raw gas to prevent moisture from interfering with the test results.

[0076] That is, the raw gas of 0.4MPa passes through the pressure reducing valve, drying, filtration, separation (50-100KPa) in sequence, then passes through the gas detector 320, and finally passes through the booster vacuum pump 200 and is transported to a storage tank with a pressure of 0.35MPa 20 meters away.

[0077] The above is only one embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these should also be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
