Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical production, in particular to an automatic control system for purification and deacidification of a VCM device. Background Art

[0002] In the PVC chemical production process, the purification system at the front end of the VCM unit absorbs and purifies all unreacted high mercury, residual hydrogen chloride, and carbon dioxide in the crude vinyl chloride gas to obtain pure crude vinyl chloride gas for supply to the back end system, ultimately obtaining high-purity VCM liquid monomer. The residual hydrogen chloride is absorbed in the purification system - the falling film absorber and water scrubber using dilute acid to absorb the hydrogen chloride, and finally the hydrochloric acid with a concentration of more than 30% is transported to the hydrochloric acid separation unit for hydrogen chloride reuse. During this process, because the dilute acid in the water scrubber is often transported through CPVC pipes, the initial startup of the dynamic equipment creates a significant impact force, which can cause flange fractures in connecting pipelines. Furthermore, during initial operation, the flow and pressure of the equipment must be adjusted, and operations such as starting and stopping the equipment, cutting off pumps, and adjusting reflux must be performed. This often requires the coordinated efforts of multiple on-site operators and central control personnel. Failure to promptly address this can cause an emergency shutdown of the system, thus requiring high operator skills and emergency response capabilities. Furthermore, in the falling film absorber, on-site personnel are often required to promptly sample and analyze the acid downpipe to determine the acid absorption status of the equipment and adjust the dilute acid inlet flow rate to ensure that the acid concentration absorbed by the falling film absorber remains above 30%. However, the sampling process clearly demonstrates the low level of automation in the dynamic equipment control system. This requires high operator skills and adaptability during abnormal operations such as startup and sudden pump failures. Frequent sampling during the deacidification process ultimately increases the workload for operators and increases the risk of hydrochloric acid burns due to operator error. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, a VCM device purification and deacidification automatic control system includes a falling film absorber 1, the falling film absorber 1 is connected to a water scrubber 4, the water scrubber 4 is connected to a dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16, the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16 is connected to a hydrochloric acid desorption device 25, the hydrochloric acid desorption device 25 is connected to a by-product hydrochloric acid tank 15, and the by-product hydrochloric acid tank 15 is further connected to the falling film absorber 1, and a falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline flowmeter 2 is provided between the absorber 1 and the water scrubber 4, the inlet of the water scrubber 4 is connected to a water scrubber acid feed pump 13, and the water scrubber acid feed pump 13 is connected to the outlet of the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16, and the inlet of the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16 is also connected to the outlet of the falling film absorber 1.

[0017] The falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline flowmeter 2 is connected to the falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline regulating valve 3, and the pipeline from the water washing tower 4 to the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 is sequentially provided with a water washing tower liquid supply pipeline flowmeter 5, a water washing tower liquid supply pipeline regulating valve 6, a dilute acid main pipe flowmeter 7, a dilute acid main pipe remote pressure gauge 8, a water washing tower acid inlet pump outlet switch valve 10 and a check valve 12, and a second hand valve 24 is also provided on the pipeline between the dilute acid main pipe remote pressure gauge 8 and the water washing tower acid inlet pump outlet switch valve 10.

[0018] The pipeline from the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 to the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16 is sequentially provided with a water washing tower acid inlet pump inlet switch valve 11 and a second hand valve 24. The output end of the dilute acid main pipe remote pressure gauge 8 and the pipeline of the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16 are connected with a pipeline, and the second hand valve 24 and the water washing tower acid inlet pump reflux regulating valve 9 are sequentially provided at the connection of the pipeline.

[0019] A hydrochloric acid concentration detector 22, a lower acid regulating valve 21 and a first hand valve 23 are sequentially provided on the pipeline from the outlet of the falling film absorber 1 to the by-product hydrochloric acid tank 15. The output end of the hydrochloric acid concentration detector 22 is connected to the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16, and a second bypass hand valve 20, a bypass switch valve 18 and a first bypass hand valve 17 are sequentially provided on the connecting pipeline, and an acid switch valve 19 is also provided on the pipeline between the second bypass hand valve 20 and the first bypass hand valve 17.

[0020] A by-product hydrochloric acid pump 14 is further provided between the hydrochloric acid desorption device 25 and the by-product hydrochloric acid tank 15 .

[0021] During the specific application of the present invention, the operator starts the acid inlet pump 13 of the water washing tower, and the equipment startup electrical signal is fed back to the water washing tower acid inlet pump inlet switch valve 11. When the valve is opened, the opening signal is transmitted to the water washing tower acid inlet pump outlet switch valve 10. The outlet valve starts to open with a delay of more than 5 seconds, and the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 starts to run and transport dilute acid. At this time, the first bypass manual valve 17, the second bypass manual valve 20, the first manual valve 23 and the second manual valve 24 belonging to the equipment are all in the open state. Then, if the water washing tower acid inlet pump inlet switch valve 11 fails to open, the signal is fed back to the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 control box, the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 automatically stops running, and at the same time, the central control background appears an alarm of equipment startup failure and water washing tower acid inlet pump inlet switch valve 11 failure to open; if the water washing tower acid inlet pump outlet switch valve 10 fails to open, the signal is fed back to the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 control box, the water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 automatically stops running, and at the same time, the central control background appears an alarm of equipment startup failure and water washing tower acid inlet pump outlet switch valve 10 failure to open. After the device is operating normally, the flow interlock is put into use. When the hydrochloric acid main pipe flow meter 7 shows a flow value of 0 for more than 3s, the interlock water washing tower acid inlet pump 13 automatically stops running, and the central control background appears an alarm of equipment flow interruption. The central control can promptly restart the equipment or switch to the standby pump, and at the same time notify the on-site personnel to check the operating status of the on-site manual valve and check valve. During normal operation, the central control personnel set the values ​​of the water washing tower liquid supply pipeline flowmeter 5 and the falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline flowmeter 2 according to the system load demand, and then the water washing tower liquid supply pipeline regulating valve 6 and the falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline regulating valve 3 automatically control the valve opening according to the control logic.

[0022] Furthermore, when the system load changes, the central control personnel promptly adjust the flow rate of the water washing tower 4 and the falling film absorber 1 required for acid absorption, and the signals of the water washing tower liquid supply pipeline flow meter 5 and the falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline flow meter 2 are fed back to the water washing tower liquid supply pipeline regulating valve 6, and the opening of the falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline regulating valve 3 changes. After the change, the pressure of the dilute acid main pipe will fluctuate. At this time, the pressure of the dilute acid main pipe remote pressure gauge 8 will change. When it is lower than the background setting value of the control system, the opening of the water washing tower acid inlet pump reflux regulating valve 9 becomes smaller; when it is higher than the background setting value of the control system, the opening of the water washing tower acid inlet pump reflux regulating valve 9 becomes larger.

[0023] At the same time, a hydrochloric acid concentration detector 22 is installed at the lower acid pipe of the purification device to detect the concentration of by-product hydrochloric acid and upload it to the central control, so that the operating personnel can adjust the falling film absorber absorption liquid pipeline flowmeter 2 in time according to the acid concentration, instead of frequent sampling by on-site operators, thereby avoiding the safety risk of acid burns.

[0024] When setting the lower limit of the by-product hydrochloric acid concentration process requirement, when the by-product hydrochloric acid concentration detected by the hydrochloric acid concentration detector 22 does not reach the lower limit of the process requirement, the signal is transmitted to the lower acid regulating valve 21 and closed; when the lower acid regulating valve 21 is closed, the closing signal is transmitted to the lower acid switch valve 19 and opened, so that the hydrochloric acid that does not meet the requirements of the hydrochloric acid desorption device 25 is re-transported to the dilute hydrochloric acid tank 16, and hydrogen chloride is absorbed again in the water washing tower 4, thereby effectively preventing low-concentration hydrochloric acid from entering the hydrochloric acid desorption device 25, causing useless operation of the hydrochloric acid desorption device 25 and waste of steam. When the acid lowering regulating valve 21 fails to close, an alarm of a failure to close the acid lowering regulating valve 21 appears on the central control background; when the acid lowering switch valve 19 fails to open, the bypass switch valve 18 is started by interlocking, and the first bypass manual valve 17 and the second bypass manual valve 20 remain normally open. At the same time, an alarm of a failure to open the acid lowering switch valve 19 appears on the central control background. After the bypass switch valve 18 fails to open again, an alarm of a failure to open the acid lowering switch valve 19 and the bypass switch valve 18 and a fault alarm of the acid lowering pipeline transportation of the falling film absorber 1 appear on the central control background. The entire automatic control and adjustment process enables the operating personnel to quickly judge the purification, deacidification and acid absorption status, and effectively avoids the emergency shutdown of the system caused by the on-site operator's misoperation or untimely operation, thereby greatly avoiding the safety hazard of acid burns in the process of the operator taking the acid sample. Therefore, the automatic control system has good practicality.
