Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polyvinyl chloride chemical industry, in particular to a pH value automatic control regulating device for a polymerization recovery system. Background Art
[0002] In the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production process, as the pressure drop in the polymerization reactor increases, resin particle formation stabilizes, signaling the monomer conversion rate has reached process requirements and the reaction is complete. The resulting PVC resin is then transported to the discharge tank, while the unreacted gaseous monomer is compressed, condensed, and recycled through a recovery system. However, during the polymerization reaction, oxygen in the system causes the vinyl chloride macromolecules to release hydrogen chloride, forming an acidic substance with water. As the reaction time increases, the pH of the reaction system gradually decreases. Currently, the original design of a 108m³ reactor production process in China generally uses a neutralizer in the discharge tank to adjust the pH of the slurry. However, this neglects adjusting the pH of the unreacted gaseous monomer in the recovery system. This results in a chronically acidic recovery system, which not only causes corrosion in the dynamic and static equipment, valves, and piping of the subsequent compression, condensation, and recovery separation systems, but also creates an acidic phenotype in the recovered condensed VCM monomer, impacting the reactor reaction system, causing additive performance changes or failure, and in severe cases, resulting in the formation of coarse material, directly impacting the continuous and stable operation of the production system and product quality control.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concepts of the present invention.
[0016] like Figure 1As shown, a pH value automatic control regulating device for a polymerization recovery system includes a vinyl chloride gas inlet pipe 25, which is connected to the inlet end of a recovery cooler 26, and also includes a liquid alkali adding system, which consists of a liquid alkali storage tank 10 and a liquid alkali delivery pipe 22. The inlet end of the liquid alkali storage tank 10 is respectively connected to a liquid alkali inlet pipe 2 and a water distribution inlet pipe 4, a first hand valve 1 is installed on the liquid alkali inlet pipe 2, and a second hand valve 3 is installed on the water distribution inlet pipe 4. A motor 6 is installed on the top of the liquid alkali storage tank 10, and the main shaft of the motor 6 passes through the top of the liquid alkali storage tank 10 and is connected to a stirring paddle 7. One end of the liquid alkali delivery pipe 22 is connected to the outlet end of the liquid alkali storage tank 10, and the other end of the liquid alkali delivery pipe 22 is connected to the vinyl chloride gas inlet pipe 25 and then connected to the inlet end of the recovery cooler 26. A liquid alkali delivery pump 15, a first automatic regulating valve 19, a remote flow transmitter 21 and a sixth hand valve 24 are installed on the liquid alkali delivery pipe 22 in sequence. A third manual valve 11 can be installed between the liquid alkali storage tanks 10 to prevent the liquid alkali delivery pump 15 from being damaged when the flow rate at the outlet of the liquid alkali storage tank 10 is too high. A fourth manual valve 18 and a fifth manual valve 20 can be added on both sides of the first automatic regulating valve 19 respectively. When the first automatic regulating valve 19 fails, the delivery of liquid alkali can be controlled by the fourth manual valve 18 and the fifth manual valve 20. The first automatic regulating valve 19 and the remote flow transmitter 21 are interlocked through the PLC controller. When the remote flow meter detects that the flow rate is too large or too small, the PLC controller controls the valve port of the first automatic regulating valve 19 to open larger or smaller. The PLC controller is also interlocked with the motor 6 for control. When the liquid alkali in the liquid alkali storage tank 10 needs to be stirred, the motor 6 is started by the PLC controller, and the main shaft of the motor 6 rotates to drive the stirring paddle 7 to rotate, ensuring that the liquid alkali and water are evenly mixed and the liquid alkali is effectively diluted. The control signal is transmitted to the DCS computer in the central control room to realize remote continuous operation and monitoring.
[0017] The liquid caustic soda storage tank 10 is equipped with a remote level transmitter 9. The detection end of the remote level transmitter 9 is located inside the liquid caustic soda storage tank 10. The remote level transmitter 9 is interlocked with a PLC controller. The remote level transmitter 9 monitors the liquid level in the liquid caustic soda storage tank 10 in real time and transmits the data to the DCS computer in the central control room via the PLC controller, facilitating liquid level monitoring in the liquid caustic soda storage tank 10. Furthermore, when the DCS computer in the central control room detects that stirring is required in the liquid caustic soda storage tank 10, a control signal is sent to the PLC controller, which controls the rotation of the motor 6, thereby achieving remote operation and reducing labor intensity.
[0018] A glass sight glass 23 is installed on the liquid caustic soda delivery pipeline 22, and is located between the remote flow transmitter 21 and the sixth hand valve 24. Through the glass sight glass 23, the delivery progress of the liquid caustic soda in the liquid caustic soda delivery pipeline 22 can be visually observed, and the opening and closing of the sixth hand valve 24 can be selected according to the observation result.
[0019] It also includes a reflux pipe 8, one end of the reflux pipe 8 is connected to the liquid alkali delivery pipe 22 between the liquid alkali delivery pump 15 and the first automatic regulating valve 19, and the other end of the reflux pipe 8 is connected to the reflux port on the top of the liquid alkali storage tank 10. A second automatic regulating valve 13 is installed on the reflux pipe 8. A seventh manual valve 14 and an eighth manual valve 12 can be added on both sides of the second automatic regulating valve 13 respectively. When the second automatic regulating valve 13 fails, the delivery of liquid alkali can be controlled by the seventh manual valve 14 and the eighth manual valve 12. A remote pressure transmitter 16 is provided between the reflux pipe 8 and the first automatic regulating valve 19 on the liquid alkali delivery pipe 22. The second automatic regulating valve 13 and the remote pressure transmitter 16 are interlocked and controlled by a PLC controller. When the remote pressure transmitter 16 detects that the pressure in the liquid caustic soda conveying pipeline 22 is too high, the second automatic regulating valve 13 is controlled to open, and the liquid caustic soda passing through the liquid caustic soda conveying pump 15 is diverted and depressurized, which not only effectively reduces the pressure in the pipeline, but also can further mix the liquid caustic soda.
[0020] The liquid alkali storage tank 10 is also equipped with a magnetic flap level gauge 5, the detection end of which is arranged in the liquid alkali storage tank 10. The magnetic flap level gauge 5 serves as a backup. When the control system fails, the liquid level height in the liquid alkali storage tank 10 can be manually monitored by the magnetic flap level gauge 5.
[0021] A check valve 17 is installed between the remote pressure transmitter 16 and the first automatic regulating valve 19 on the liquid caustic soda delivery pipeline 22 to prevent vinyl chloride gas from flowing into the liquid caustic soda or other systems and causing safety accidents when the liquid caustic soda delivery pump 15 fails and stops in a pressure-losing state or the pressure is lower than the recovery system pressure.
[0022] When using:
[0023] 1. The concentration of liquid alkali is 32%. The first hand valve 1 is opened to transport liquid alkali to the liquid alkali storage tank 10 through the liquid alkali inlet pipe 2. When the remote liquid level transmitter 9 shows the liquid level is 20%, the DCS computer in the central control room starts the motor 6 to drive the stirring paddle 7 to rotate and continue to transport liquid alkali. When the liquid level rises to 60%, the first hand valve 1 is closed and the second hand valve 3 is opened at the same time to transport water to the liquid alkali storage tank 10 through the water distribution inlet pipe 4. When the remote liquid level transmitter 9 shows the liquid level is 80%, the second hand valve 3 is closed and the water distribution is stopped. After stirring for 30 minutes, the laboratory is notified to take samples to test the concentration of the configured alkali. The test result is qualified when it is 20%±3%, which meets the process control requirements.
[0024] 3. Open the third manual valve 11, the seventh manual valve 14 and the eighth manual valve 12, and prime the liquid alkali delivery pump 15 to prevent cavitation and continuous delivery. Then start the liquid alkali delivery pump 15, and slowly open the second automatic regulating valve 13 to start the liquid alkali circulation. At the same time, observe and adjust the pump pressure according to the remote pressure transmitter 16 to meet the process setting requirements.
[0025] 4. Open the fourth manual valve 18 and the fifth manual valve 20, and at the same time slowly open the first automatic regulating valve 19, and deliver liquid alkali at a small flow rate through the liquid alkali delivery pipeline 22. After observing that the liquid alkali fills the pipeline through the remote flow transmitter 21 and the glass sight glass 23, open the sixth manual valve 24 to deliver the configured liquid alkali to the vinyl chloride gas inlet pipe 25 and into the recovery cooler 26 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the pH value of the recovery system.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
