Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of safety devices, and in particular relates to a safety device for a chemical ammonia evaporator. Background Art

[0002] The production of acrylonitrile is mainly divided into three parts: the reaction part, the recovery part and the refining part. In the reaction part, ammonia is used to react with propylene. In industry, ammonia is generally reacted by on-site gasification of liquid ammonia, and the equipment used is a liquid ammonia evaporator.

[0003] Liquid ammonia evaporator is mainly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, metallurgical, food, textile and other industries, playing an important role of evaporation equipment. At the same time, in special occasions such as ships and airplanes, liquid ammonia evaporator is also used as air-conditioning equipment with good effect. The structure of ammonia evaporator is simple and the cost is low. The manufacturing, maintenance and installation of liquid ammonia evaporator are relatively easy. Therefore, compared with other equipment, the cost is lower. Liquid ammonia evaporator has high efficiency; as a heat exchange equipment, ammonia evaporator can achieve high-efficiency refrigeration effect due to the excellent performance of its working principle. Ammonia evaporator is corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant. The material of ammonia evaporator is good, with good corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance and other characteristics, and it is durable.

[0004] However, when the liquid ammonia evaporator is used in the reaction of acrylonitrile, the conversion is unstable, the safety cannot be guaranteed, and the material waste is serious. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a chemical ammonia evaporator safety device which is applied in the reaction of acrylonitrile and has stable operation, safe operation and material saving.

[0006] The chemical ammonia evaporator safety device of the utility model comprises an ammonia superheater, a liquid ammonia evaporator and an ammonia recovery tank. A boundary ammonia feed pipeline is arranged on the liquid ammonia evaporator, a root valve and a feed valve are arranged on the boundary ammonia feed pipeline, a gas outlet of the liquid ammonia evaporator is connected with the ammonia superheater, a liquid outlet of the liquid ammonia evaporator is connected with the ammonia recovery tank, a gas phase outlet of the ammonia recovery tank is connected with the liquid ammonia evaporator, a safety valve bypass is arranged on the liquid ammonia evaporator, a discharge valve and a safety valve are arranged on the safety valve bypass, one end of the heat source of the liquid ammonia evaporator is interlocked with the feed valve, and a liquid level regulating valve is arranged.

[0007] Preferably, a lean water outlet pipe and a lean water inlet pipe are provided at one end of the heat source of the liquid ammonia evaporator. The liquid level regulating valve is a liquid level regulating valve LIC-.

[0008] Preferably, the liquid outlet of the liquid ammonia evaporator is connected to the ammonia recovery tank via a sewage pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a low-pressure steam pipe b is provided on the ammonia recovery tank.

[0010] Preferably, a drain valve is provided at the bottom of the ammonia recovery tank.

[0011] Preferably, the drain valve is connected to the quench tower.

[0012] Preferably, the pipeline connecting the gas phase outlet of the ammonia recovery tank and the liquid ammonia evaporator is a gas phase recovery pipe.

[0013] Preferably, a pump is provided on the boundary ammonia feed pipeline.

[0014] Preferably, the gas outlet of the ammonia superheater is connected to the acrylonitrile reactor.

[0015] Preferably, the ammonia superheater is provided with a low-pressure steam pipe a and a condensate pipe.

[0016] The safety device for a chemical ammonia evaporator described in the utility model comprises the following steps when in operation:

[0017] 1. Liquid ammonia is led from the boundary area to the boundary area. The ammonia feed pipeline is introduced into the root valve through a pump. The feed valve is slowly opened to allow the liquid ammonia to be throttled and vaporized into the liquid ammonia evaporator. When the pressure of the liquid ammonia evaporator reaches 0.2MPa, the feed valve is closed and the discharge valve of the safety valve bypass is slowly opened to send the ammonia to the flare, so that the liquid ammonia is slowly vaporized and enters the liquid ammonia evaporator.

[0018] 2. When the pressure of the liquid ammonia evaporator reaches 0.05MPa, close the discharge valve, open the feed valve, introduce ammonia gas into the liquid ammonia evaporator to raise the pressure of the liquid ammonia evaporator to 0.2MPa before discharging. Repeat the above operation three times and then close the discharge valve.

[0019] 3. Fully open the root valve and use the liquid level regulating valve of the liquid ammonia evaporator to control the introduction of liquid ammonia. When the liquid level of the liquid ammonia evaporator reaches 70 (volume)%, close LIC-11001.

[0020] 4. Ammonia gas passing through the ammonia superheater enters the acrylonitrile reactor to participate in the reaction. After the acrylonitrile reactor starts to burn ammonia, the gaseous ammonia is heated to 66°C by the ammonia superheater and then enters the acrylonitrile reactor for combustion reaction. As ammonia continues to evaporate, the pressure of the liquid ammonia evaporator gradually decreases.

[0021] 5. When the pressure of the liquid ammonia evaporator drops to 0.25MPa, slowly feed the lean water (heating effect) obtained from the lean water inlet pipe into the liquid ammonia evaporator to ensure the heat required for ammonia gasification, so that the liquid ammonia in the liquid ammonia evaporator is continuously evaporated and gasified. Open the liquid ammonia feed valve of the liquid ammonia evaporator, and use the liquid level regulating valve to control the liquid level of the liquid ammonia evaporator at 40-70 (volume)%, and the pressure at 0.41-0.6MPa.

[0022] 6. A safety valve is installed on the top of the liquid ammonia evaporator. When the liquid ammonia evaporator equipment is over-pressured, the safety valve will trip and discharge to the flare system.

[0023] 7. A drain valve is provided at the bottom of the liquid ammonia evaporator, which is used for sewage replacement in the system during shutdown and maintenance. The sewage material is discharged to the ammonia recovery tank through a pipeline. The gas phase of the ammonia recovery tank is recovered to the liquid ammonia evaporator for reuse, and the liquid phase is treated for sewage and discharged to the quenching tower as wastewater treatment. At the same time, the ammonia recovery tank is provided with a low-pressure steam pipe b, which is used for replacement, cleaning and evaporation of the ammonia recovery tank.
