Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heating furnace coke cleaning, in particular to a heating furnace tube coke cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] In my country's petroleum refining industry, most crude oil is heavy. The heavy oil in the heating furnace tube is prone to coking, overheating, and even creep or permanent deformation, or even breakage during the heating process, causing serious production accidents. In order to avoid accidents, it is often necessary to clean the coking layer in time.

[0003] The heating furnace tube generally contains multiple tube passes. In the traditional online decoking technology, a complete tube pass in the heating furnace is first decoked. After the oil feed of this tube pass is cut off, the complete tube pass is decoked, and then it is put back into use. Then, the other tube passes are cleaned in turn in the same way, and finally the coke layer in the tubes of all tube passes is cleaned. The disadvantage of this decoking method is that a complete tube pass is cut out during the decoking process, that is, the entire tube pass cut out no longer participates in the heat exchange work. However, in practice, the coking of the low-temperature section furnace tube in the entire tube pass is not serious, and it can be left uncut and continue to participate in the heat exchange work. Cutting out the entire tube pass will cause the heating capacity of the heating furnace to drop too much. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a heating furnace tube decoking system, which only cuts out a part of the furnace tube section with serious coking in one tube path, and the tube section with less serious coking can continue to work, so as to retain the heating capacity of the heating furnace to the greatest extent, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a heating furnace tube coke cleaning system, comprising a furnace body, the furnace body comprising a lining and a furnace tube inside thereof, the two ends of the furnace tube being respectively connected to a process medium inlet pipeline and a process medium outlet pipeline, the process medium inlet pipeline and the process medium outlet pipeline being respectively provided with a process medium inlet valve and a process medium outlet valve, characterized in that: it also comprises an external furnace tube, a process medium bypass, a coke cleaning inlet pipeline, a coke cleaning outlet pipeline, a coke cleaning inlet bypass and a coke cleaning outlet bypass;

[0006] The external furnace pipe is located outside the furnace body, and both ends of the external furnace pipe are connected to the furnace pipe located inside the furnace body. A process medium external valve is provided on the external furnace pipe;

[0007] One end of the process medium bypass is connected to the external introduction furnace pipe upstream of the process medium external introduction valve, and the other end of the process medium bypass is connected to the process medium outlet pipeline downstream of the process medium outlet valve;

[0008] The decoking inlet pipeline is provided with a decoking inlet main valve, and the downstream of the decoking inlet pipeline is divided into two branches, one of which is connected to the process medium inlet pipeline downstream of the process medium inlet valve, and the other branch is connected to the external introduction furnace pipe downstream of the process medium external introduction valve;

[0009] One end of the decoking outlet pipeline is connected to the process medium outlet pipeline upstream of the process medium outlet valve, and the decoking outlet pipeline is provided with a first decoking outlet valve and a second decoking outlet valve in sequence;

[0010] One end of the decoking inlet bypass is connected to the decoking inlet pipeline upstream of the decoking inlet main valve, and the other end of the decoking inlet bypass is connected to the decoking outlet pipeline, and the connection point is located between the first decoking outlet valve and the second decoking outlet valve;

[0011] One end of the decoking outlet bypass is connected to the branch pipeline of the decoking inlet pipeline between the decoking inlet pipeline and the external furnace pipe, and the other end of the decoking outlet bypass is connected to the decoking outlet pipeline downstream of the second decoking outlet valve.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a process medium bypass valve is provided on the process medium bypass.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the upstream of the decoking inlet pipeline is connected to two branches respectively provided with a first decoking inlet valve and a second decoking inlet valve.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a first coke clearing branch valve and a second coke clearing branch valve are respectively arranged on the two downstream branches of the coke clearing inlet pipeline, and the position where the coke clearing outlet bypass connects to the coke clearing inlet pipeline branch is between the first coke clearing branch valve and the second coke clearing branch valve.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a decoking inlet bypass valve is arranged on the decoking inlet bypass, and a decoking outlet bypass valve is arranged on the decoking outlet bypass.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the decoking medium introduced into the decoking inlet pipeline can be air, water vapor or a mixture of the two.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the decoking system for the furnace tubes of the heating furnace is connected to the decoking pipeline outside the furnace with the external furnace tube by setting an external furnace tube, so as to realize the purpose of injecting decoking medium into the furnace tubes of the heating furnace; at the same time, during the operation of the heating furnace, as the coke layer of the furnace tube gradually thickens and reaches the decoking standard, the online decoking program is started to decoke the pipe section that is prone to coking. At this time, the pipe section that is not seriously coked and is not included in the online decoking program can still continue to work and heat the oil, thereby retaining the heating capacity of the heating furnace to the greatest extent. For the pipe section that is not seriously coked, because the coking is not serious, decoking can be carried out during the factory maintenance shutdown period. In this way, the heating furnace can be guaranteed to operate without stopping during the entire production cycle and the working efficiency of the heating furnace will not be affected.
