Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polyoxymethylene for cleaning an absorption tower, and is a device for cleaning polyoxymethylene in an absorption tower. Background Technique
[0002] A certain chemical enterprise uses the iron-molybdenum process to produce formaldehyde products. First, methanol is partially oxidized to obtain a formaldehyde mixed gas, and the formaldehyde mixed gas then enters the absorption tower. At the same time, a desalted water circulation is established in each packing box in the absorption tower. The formaldehyde mixed gas is cooled and absorbed by the desalted water through multiple packing box sections in the absorption tower to produce qualified formaldehyde liquid.
[0003] During the long-term operation of the absorption tower, high-concentration formaldehyde liquid (51% to 53%) will condense and accumulate polyoxymethylene on the bottom tower tray and packing box of the absorption tower, increasing the load on the bottom tower tray, easily causing the tower tray to deform, and also easily blocking the packing box. In severe cases, the tower tray will fall off, and the packing will accumulate at the bottom of the absorption tower, ultimately resulting in the inability to normally extract formaldehyde products, and the production operation of the absorption tower can only be suspended for maintenance.
[0004] Currently, after the absorption tower has been in production operation for a period of time, it is necessary to stop the absorption tower for maintenance and cleaning. The cleaning method is to use the original production process pipeline system of the absorption tower and use desalted water to clean the bottom packing box and tower tray of the absorption tower. However, this cleaning method takes a long time and the cleaning is not thorough, ultimately resulting in a delay in the start-up operation of the absorption tower, bringing great economic losses to the enterprise. Therefore, the long cleaning time and incomplete cleaning of the absorption tower have become a technical problem that the enterprise has long been unable to overcome. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present utility model, which have strong adaptability and implementation effects. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.
[0042] Usage process of the embodiment of the utility model: First, close the first solenoid valve 20, the second solenoid valve 21, the third solenoid valve 22, the fifth solenoid valve 24, and the sixth solenoid valve 25 respectively. The boiler water enters the shell side 29 from the lower part of the preheater 2 through the boiler water pipeline 9, and the steam enters the tube side 28 from the top of the preheater 2 through the steam inlet pipeline 12. The steam in the tube side 28 preheats and heats up the boiler water in the shell side 29. After heat exchange, the steam enters the downstream process system through the steam discharge pipeline 13. Then, the heated boiler water sequentially passes through the high-temperature boiler water pipeline 10, the formaldehyde liquid pipeline 6, the circulation pipeline 8, and the first desalinated water pipeline 7 to enter the liquid distributor 5 in the absorption tower 1. The high-temperature boiler water uniformly flows into the packing section 31 and the tray 4 through the liquid distributor 5. Then, close the fourth solenoid valve 23. The lye in the lye tank 3 sequentially passes through the lye pipeline 11, the circulation pipeline 8, and the first desalinated water pipeline 7 to enter the liquid distributor 5 in the absorption tower 1. The lye uniformly flows into the packing section 31 and the tray 4 through the liquid distributor 5. When the remote liquid level gauge 17 shows that the cleaning process liquid level value is reached, stop inputting lye into the absorption tower 1. The lye and the high-temperature boiler water at the bottom of the absorption tower 1 are mixed to soak and clean the packing section 31 and the tray 4. Finally, after the soaking cleaning time, the cleaning liquid is discharged through the formaldehyde liquid pipeline 6 into the downstream waste liquid treatment system.
[0043] According to needs, the usage process of the production operation of the absorption tower 1: First, close the second solenoid valve 21, the fourth solenoid valve 23, the fifth solenoid valve 24, and the seventh solenoid valve 26 respectively. The desalinated water enters the absorption tower 1 through the second desalinated water pipeline 14. Then, the formaldehyde mixed gas enters the absorption tower 1 through the first formaldehyde gas pipeline 15. At this time, under the catalytic action of the packing section 31 in the absorption tower 1, the formaldehyde in the formaldehyde mixed gas from bottom to top is cooled and absorbed by the desalinated water to obtain the formaldehyde absorption liquid. At the same time, the unabsorbed formaldehyde mixed gas at the top of the absorption tower 1 returns to the first formaldehyde gas pipeline 15 through the second formaldehyde gas pipeline 16 and enters the absorption tower 1 again for cooling and absorption. Finally, the formaldehyde absorption liquid at the bottom of the absorption tower 1 enters the downstream process system through the formaldehyde liquid pipeline 6.
