Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polypropylene production, in particular to an anti-blowing system for a polypropylene cyclone separator. Background Technique
[0002] Polypropylene is a general-purpose plastic with excellent performance and wide application, and is used in fields such as packaging, manufacturing, medical use, textiles, and many civil consumptions. In the process control of polypropylene production, in the powder drying section, the polypropylene resin is mainly dried by the circulation of hot nitrogen to facilitate the subsequent transportation and processing. In recent years, with the upgrade of catalysts and the demand for high-end product differentiation in the downstream market, during the production of high melt index products using new and efficient catalysts, a large amount of fine powder is generated during the reaction process, seriously affecting the stable operation of the powder drying unit.
[0003] The powder drying unit in the device adopts a closed-loop circulation hot nitrogen circulation drying method to remove the moisture existing in the polymer. It consists of a fluidized bed dryer D502, a cyclone separator S502, a circulating gas scrubbing tower T502, a nitrogen circulating fan C502, etc. The powder containing a certain amount of moisture, under the control of the material level, is dehydrated by the fluidized bed dryer D502 and then flows to the pneumatic conveying hopper from the bottom of the dryer by its own gravity. Nitrogen flows from the top of the dryer to the D502 cyclone separator S502 to remove the polymer fine powder entrained in the nitrogen. The polymer fine powder separated from S502 is first collected in the polypropylene fine powder collector D507 and then sent to D800A (or B). In actual production, due to the differences in different catalysts and different product grades, a large amount of fine powder is generated in the polymerization unit. During the dehumidification process of the polypropylene powder in the drying unit, the fine powder with a smaller particle size will accumulate in the cyclone separator S502 in large quantities, causing bridging and affecting the normal discharge. As the fine powder continuously accumulates in S502, S502 loses its separation function, and a large amount of fine powder is carried into the subsequent scrubbing tower T502, affecting the long-term operation of the filtering equipment and dynamic equipment in the subsequent system, and at the same time causing a large amount of siltation of the fine powder at the wastewater tank of T502, polluting the surrounding environment, and a large amount of manpower needs to be invested for regular cleaning. Due to the defects and irrationality in the actual production situation, it has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects, provide an anti-blowing system for a polypropylene cyclone separator, transform the process of the cyclone separation system, add a nitrogen anti-blowing system to the outlet pipeline of the cyclone separator, and realize regular anti-blowing by an automatic control program to loosen the bridged powder at the bottom of the cyclone separator, so that the cyclone separator can discharge normally, achieving a better use effect, and effectively solving the problems in the background technique.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a polypropylene cyclone separator backflush system, including a cyclone separator and a fine powder collector. The cyclone separator is communicated with the fine powder collector through a discharge pipeline. A stop valve I and a solenoid valve I are arranged on the discharge pipeline. The stop valve I and the solenoid valve I are respectively close to the material falling port of the cyclone separator and the feed port of the fine powder collector. The discharge pipeline is also communicated with a nitrogen backflush pipeline, and the nitrogen backflush pipeline is located between the stop valve I and the solenoid valve I. A solenoid valve II is arranged on the nitrogen backflush pipeline. The fine powder collector is communicated with a powder discharge pipeline, and a stop valve II and a solenoid valve III are arranged on the powder discharge pipeline.
[0006] Preferably, it further includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve I, the solenoid valve II and the solenoid valve III and controls the on-off of the solenoid valve I, the solenoid valve II and the solenoid valve III through a program.
[0007] Preferably, two ball valves are also arranged on the nitrogen backflush pipeline, and the two ball valves are respectively located on both sides of the solenoid valve II.
[0008] Preferably, a standby pipeline is connected in parallel to the nitrogen backflush pipeline, and a standby ball valve is arranged on the standby pipeline.
[0009] Preferably, the feed port of the cyclone separator is communicated with a feed pipeline, and the material in the feed pipeline is polymer fine powder transported by nitrogen. The exhaust port of the cyclone separator is communicated with a scrubbing tower.
[0010] Preferably, the nitrogen backflush pipeline is externally connected to the workshop nitrogen system.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the utility model is that: by adding a nitrogen backflush pipeline and a valve assembly in the middle of the discharge pipeline and performing program control through the PLC controller, it is not necessary to increase the size of the cyclone separation equipment and the supporting process pipeline. Only a small part of the transformation is carried out within the polypropylene device, achieving a good use effect, meeting the normal production requirements of the cyclone separation unit, solving the problem of normal production and operation of the polypropylene device system, and achieving a good use and operation effect.
