Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst reduction reactor. Background Art

[0002] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is one of the most widely used technologies in the indirect coal-to-oil process, and catalyst reduction is the most critical step in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis production process. As is well known, Fischer-Tropsch catalysts are in the form of an oxidized state when leaving the factory and do not have reaction activity. They must be treated before use, that is, catalyst reduction. Catalyst reduction is a process of converting an oxidized iron-based catalyst into a reduced iron-based catalyst with reaction activity under the action of hydrogen. This process is the preliminary step of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, and the quality of the reduction effect directly affects the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. Catalyst reduction is mainly divided into three processes: heating up, constant temperature, and cooling down.

[0003] The process of heating up the catalyst is the catalyst activation process. Heating up the catalyst strictly according to the heating curve is conducive to the excitation of catalyst activity. In the initial feeding stage, the heating requirement is not high, and the temperature can be raised relatively quickly before 120°C, generally 15 - 20°C / h. When the temperature is between 120°C and 250°C, the heating rate needs to be controlled at 10°C / h to reduce the influence of thermal stress on the equipment. When the temperature is between 250°C and 260°C, the temperature is controlled at 8°C / h, and when the temperature is between 260°C and 265°C, the temperature is controlled at 5°C / h to prevent temperature runaway; the temperature in the constant temperature stage is controlled at 265°C; the temperature in the cooling stage is controlled at -15°C / h. The entire heating process lasts for about 13 hours. In this process, two on-site teams need to cooperate closely to maintain a constant heating rate. Fluctuations in the heating steam pressure, fluctuations in the inlet hydrogen temperature, and the activation time of the catalyst may all change the heating rate, making it difficult to control the heating.

[0004] In the prior art, traditional methods mostly adopt manual control. The 5.0 Mpa steam valve at the inlet of the reduction reactor is adjusted to stabilize the heating rate of hydrogen at the reactor inlet. At the same time, the 6.0 Mpa steam valve of the reduction steam drum is adjusted in cooperation to maintain the stability of the heating rate of the reduction reactor. During the adjustment, the heating rate is unstable, overly relying on the experience of the operator. And during the use process, the mixing and reaction efficiency of steam and catalyst is low, ensuring the filtering function, resulting in the inability to remove impurities in the gas, reducing the quality of the catalyst.

[0022] Specifically, the lower surface of the grid cylinder 2 is an open structure, and the upper surface of the grid cylinder 2 is a sealed structure.

[0023] In this embodiment, the lower surface of the grid cylinder 2 facilitates the threaded installation and connection of the sealing cover 3, and the sealed upper surface enables the gas to only be discharged through the filter net sleeve 4.

[0024] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a transmission rod 501, a bearing assembly 502 and turbine blades 503. The upper end of the transmission rod 501 is installed on the inner wall on the upper side of the grid cylinder 2 through the bearing assembly 502. Turbine blades 503 are fixedly installed on the transmission rod 501 at positions corresponding to the first air inlet mechanism 7 and the second air inlet mechanism 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, the turbine blades 503 rotate with the steam blown in by the first air inlet mechanism 7 and the second air inlet mechanism 8, so that the turbine blades 503 drive the transmission rod 501 to rotate in the bearing assembly 502, achieving the effect of stirring the gas and simultaneously driving the cleaning mechanism 6 to rotate.

[0026] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a fixed rod 601 and a scraper 602. The fixed rods 601 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right side surfaces of the transmission rod 501. Scrapers 602 are fixedly installed on the fixed rods 601.
