[0012] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, but the present utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0013] As Figure 1Shown is a specific embodiment of a process system for hydrogen sharing in an energy-saving multi-unit hydrogenation plant. This embodiment is a process system for hydrogen sharing in an energy-saving multi-unit hydrogenation plant, including three inlet pipelines for transporting fresh hydrogen, and the three inlet pipelines are respectively connected to a 1# fresh hydrogen compressor unit, a 3# fresh hydrogen compressor unit, and a 4# fresh hydrogen compressor unit. The outlet ends of the 1# fresh hydrogen compressor unit, 3# fresh hydrogen compressor unit, and 4# fresh hydrogen compressor unit are respectively convergently connected to a No. 1 pipeline 1, a No. 3 pipeline 2, and a No. 4 pipeline 3 with a fresh hydrogen outlet at the end. The No. 3 pipeline 2 and the No. 4 pipeline 3 are connected through a No. 1 valve group pipeline 4. A No. 1 valve group and a No. 2 valve group are connected to the No. 1 valve group pipeline 4. The No. 1 valve group includes a series-connected cut-off valve group A5 and a remote control regulating valve group A6, and the cut-off valve group A5 is located on the No. 1 valve group pipeline 4 between the remote control regulating valve group A6 and the No. 3 pipeline 2. The No. 2 valve group includes a series-connected cut-off valve group B7 and a remote control regulating valve group B8, and the cut-off valve group B7 is located on the No. 1 valve group pipeline 4 between the remote control regulating valve group B8 and the No. 4 pipeline 3. A No. 2 valve group pipeline 9 is connected to the No. 1 valve group pipeline 4 between the remote control regulating valve group A6 and the remote control regulating valve group B8. A No. 3 valve group is connected to the No. 2 valve group pipeline 9. The No. 3 valve group includes a series-connected cut-off valve group C10 and a remote control regulating valve group C11. The end of the No. 2 valve group pipeline 9 is connected to the No. 1 pipeline 1.

[0014] Operation mode / principle: After the fresh hydrogen from the 3# fresh hydrogen compressor unit and the 4# fresh hydrogen compressor unit enters the reciprocating compressor for pressurization, it enters the reactors of their respective units through the fresh hydrogen outlets of the No. 3 pipeline 2 and the No. 4 pipeline 3 from the outlets of the respective compressors (3# fresh hydrogen compressor A16, 3# fresh hydrogen compressor B17, 3# fresh hydrogen compressor C18, 4# fresh hydrogen compressor A19, 4# fresh hydrogen compressor B20, 4# fresh hydrogen compressor C21) of the 3# fresh hydrogen compressor unit and the 4# fresh hydrogen compressor unit ( Figure 1 omitted in the figure) to participate in the reaction. A No. 1 valve group pipeline 4 and a No. 2 valve group pipeline 9 are added to the outlet pipelines of the fresh hydrogen compressors of the 3# fresh hydrogen compressor unit and the 4# fresh hydrogen compressor unit and are combined with the cut-off valve group and the remote control regulating valve group, so that the surplus hydrogen can be supplemented into the reactor corresponding to the hydrogen provided by the 1# fresh hydrogen compressor unit when needed, making up for the problem of insufficient flow of a single refining compressor.

[0015] The surplus hydrogen flows through the cut-off valve group A5 and the cut-off valve group B7 from the outlet pipelines of the 3# fresh hydrogen compressor unit and the 4# fresh hydrogen compressor unit. The flow orifice monitors the flow rate and controls the valve openings of the remote control regulating valve group A6 and the remote control regulating valve group B8 to adjust the hydrogen volume. The hydrogen flows through the cut-off valve group C10 monitored by the remote control pressure gauge 13 and with a high-high pressure interlock for the refining system and is sent to the outlet hydrogen pipeline (No. 1 pipeline 1) of the 1# fresh hydrogen compressor unit; when the high-high pressure interlock is triggered, the valve of the cut-off valve group C10 is closed to stop the hydrogen supply and prevent the occurrence of system overpressure accidents.

[0016] Specifically, in actual production, according to the diesel balance requirements of the whole plant, the hydrogen surplus of the 3# new hydrogen compressor unit and the 4# new hydrogen compressor unit in the 3.5 million tons / year diesel hydrocracking unit can be used to supplement the hydrogen shortage in the 3 million tons / year diesel hydrotreating unit used by the 1# new hydrogen compressor unit, so as to meet the long-term and high-load stable production.
