Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of delayed coking dehydration, in particular to a square combined dehydration tank. Background Art

[0002] In traditional delayed coking technology, the coke drum enters an open coke pond through a coke chute. During the decoking process, a large amount of steam overflows from the coke outlet and the coke pond. This steam contains dust, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds. The unorganized emission of these gases pollutes the atmosphere. At the same time, the coke is dehydrated by the slope of the coke pond bottom and by being stacked for a long time. However, this dehydration method is inefficient. The prolonged dehydration in the coke pond causes the surface water to evaporate and fly in the wind, further polluting the environment. The dehydrated coke needs to be grabbed by a grab crane, which also causes the problem of coke dust flying and polluting the environment.

[0003] The newly constructed delayed coking unit utilizes closed-tank decoking technology. This technology elevates the coke drum and places a dehydration tank beneath it to hold a drum of coke. Exhaust gases are collected through a top exhaust port. After coke cutting, the dehydration tank begins dehydration, completing cooling, dehydration, and transfer operations within a single coke-making cycle. The dehydration tank in this technology is circular or polygonal and is placed within the coke drum frame, below the drum. Feeding occurs at the center of the upper section, while the lower tapered section connects to a discharge port. This dehydration tank must be placed on a coke drum frame platform, increasing the overall height of the unit and the complexity and cost of civil engineering design. Furthermore, since the dehydration tank has only a single discharge port, discharge time is also increased. Furthermore, due to its large size, the dehydration tank can only be manufactured on-site by assembling individual pieces, resulting in a lengthy manufacturing process. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a square combined dehydration tank. The combined dehydration tank body is rectangular when viewed from above. The dehydration tank includes a dehydration tank frame, a straight wall plate 3, a top cover 11 and a lower cone 6.

[0032] The dehydration tank frame is composed of several grid-like frames assembled in a grid structure. The number of grid-like frames can be set to two, four or other numbers as needed. In this embodiment, the dehydration tank frame is composed of twelve grid-like frames assembled in a grid structure, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0033] Each of the grid-like frames is a square when viewed from above. The grid-like frame is composed of several prefabricated frame components connected together. The frame components include vertically arranged square columns 1 and upper crossbeams 2 and middle crossbeams 5 respectively connected vertically to the square columns 1. The square columns 1, upper crossbeams 2 and middle crossbeams 5 are all long strips.

[0034] A lower cone 6 is provided under each grid-like frame, and the lower cones 6 provided under several grid-like frames are connected in parallel with each other. The lower cone 6 is a square cone structure, and the lower cone 6 has a large end and a small end. The large end of the lower cone 6 is connected to the middle cross beam 5 of the grid-like frame, and the small end is provided with a discharge port 9. A control valve is provided on the discharge port 9 to control the opening and closing of the discharge port 9.

[0035] The square columns 1 on the outside of the dehydration tank frame are connected to the straight wall panels 3, which are composed of a number of prefabricated straight wall panel units. The top of the dehydration tank frame is provided with an adaptive top cover 11, which is composed of a number of prefabricated top cover units. The number of top covers 11 can be set to the same as the number of grid-shaped frames as needed. In this embodiment, the top cover 11 is composed of twelve prefabricated top cover units. Figure 2 shown.

[0036] The dehydration tank frame, straight wall panels 3, top cover 11, and lower cones 6, which correspond to the grid-like frames, form a sealed interior space within the dehydration tank for storing and dehydrating petroleum coke, preventing the leakage of coke fines during processing and thus reducing environmental pollution. Furthermore, the interior space of the combined dehydration tank can be partitioned or interconnected as needed.

[0037] The dehydration tank frame, the straight wall plate 3, the top cover 11 and the lower cone 6 are all made of steel; specifically, the cone section of the lower cone 6 is made of composite steel plate or stainless steel plate.

[0038] The combined dehydration tank is secured to the foundation surface by several square columns. The upper portions of two adjacent square columns 1 are reinforced by upper crossbeams 2, and the middle portion is reinforced by middle crossbeams 5. The expansion of the combined dehydration tank's horizontal area ensures stability while reducing the equipment's vertical footprint, maintaining a roughly constant height for the coke drum assembly.

[0039] A circular feed port 4 and a circular overflow port 10 are provided on the straight wall plate 3. The feed port 4 is connected to the bottom of the coke tower through a feed pipe for transporting petroleum coke; the overflow port 10 is connected to the overflow pipeline, and excess water during the dehydration process is discharged into the overflow pipeline through the overflow port 10.

[0040] There is also a material leveling device inside the dehydration tank to level the petroleum coke inside the dehydration tank.

[0041] A water filter pipe 7 is provided on the lower cone 6. The water filter pipe 7 is curved. The end of the water filter pipe 7 is connected to the water filter outlet 8. There is a water filter component inside the combined dehydration tank. The water filter component is a water filter component commonly used in existing dehydration tanks and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0042] The top cover 11 is provided with a breathing valve port 12, an emergency pressure relief valve port 13, an exhaust port 14, a level gauge port 16, and a top water inlet 17, all of which are circular. The radius of the emergency pressure relief valve port 13 and the exhaust port 14 is larger than that of the breathing valve port 12, the level gauge port 16, and the top water inlet 17. The breathing valve port 12 and the emergency pressure relief valve port 13 are used to install corresponding valves to maintain pressure balance inside and outside the equipment; the exhaust port 14 is used to discharge internal exhaust gas into the exhaust gas treatment pipeline. The level gauge port 16 provided on the top cover 11 can be installed with a level gauge to monitor the height of the petroleum coke entering the combined tank in real time. The top cover 11 is also provided with a square observation window 15 for observing the situation inside the tank.

[0043] A heating pipe 18 is laid around the outer wall of the lower cone 6 to heat the petroleum coke inside the dehydration tank when the ambient temperature is low to prevent the petroleum coke from freezing.

[0044] The exterior of the lower cone 6 is equipped with a rapper 19 and a quick-opening sampling port 20, with the quick-opening sampling port 20 located below the rapper 19. When the combined dehydration tank is operating, the rapping action of the rapper 19 prevents the petroleum coke from clumping and adhering. When the moisture content of the petroleum coke needs to be tested, a sample is taken through the quick-opening sampling port 20.

[0045] Working process: Before the petroleum coke enters the combined dehydration tank from the coke tower, a certain amount of water is first injected into the tank body through the top water inlet 17 to act as a buffer. Subsequently, the petroleum coke is directly discharged into the interior of the combined dehydration tank through the feed port 4 of the combined dehydration tank from the bottom of the coke tower. In this process, excess water is discharged out of the tank body through the overflow port 10, and the generated exhaust gas is discharged to the exhaust gas treatment unit through the top exhaust port 14. After all the petroleum coke is discharged into the combined dehydration tank, it is left to stand for a certain period of time for dehydration. The dehydrated water is discharged through the filtered water pipe 7 and recycled after further treatment. In order to ensure that the moisture content of the petroleum coke meets the standard, sampling and testing are carried out through the quick-opening sampling port 20. When the test results meet the standard, the control valve on the discharge port 9 is opened to discharge the petroleum coke out of the combined dehydration tank through the discharge port 9.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
