Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil storage tank cleaning and relates to a butter cleaning device for olefin separation. Background Art
[0002] The alkali scrubber in the olefin separation unit primarily removes carbon dioxide from the product gas. During daily production, approximately 30 tons of waste alkali liquor is generated daily. The oil in this waste alkali liquor is primarily butter, an oxygenated organic mixture that forms a yellow, viscous substance or solid when in contact with air. The waste alkali liquor and the small amount of butter it carries along are piped to waste alkali tanks at the olefin separation site. The waste alkali liquor is then transported to the thermal power and gasification units by truck or pump. However, the butter carried along with the alkali liquor, due to its long-term accumulation and undischarged, has accumulated at the bottom of the tanks, reducing tank capacity and impacting the long-term operation of the unit.
[0003] Furthermore, butter often exists as floating oil and emulsified oil. Because the density of butter is similar to that of water, oil-water separation is difficult and its biodegradability is poor. This severely impacts subsequent wastewater treatment processes and can cause significant secondary pollution. The effectiveness of oil removal directly impacts subsequent wastewater treatment. The high chemical oxygen demand (COD) in waste caustic soda is related to its oil content. Reducing the oil content can reduce the COD to a certain extent, but the COD remains high after oil removal, making conventional biodegradation difficult. To ensure stable production, the bottom-heating steam coils are appropriately opened to increase the tank temperature, reducing the butter viscosity and improving its fluidity. The bottom-of-tank discharge port is then connected to a pipeline, manually discharging the butter into a box for harmless disposal. However, pressurized tapping of the waste caustic soda tank to process the butter is cumbersome, time-consuming, and poses certain safety risks. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a butter cleaning device for olefin separation includes a waste alkali tank 12, a heating coil 9 is provided at the bottom of the waste alkali tank 12, an upper end of one side of the waste alkali tank 12 is connected to an alkali washing tower 1 through a pipeline, a first valve 2 and a fourth valve 7 are provided on the pipeline between the alkali washing tower 1 and the waste alkali tank 12, a waste alkali pump 17 is connected to the bottom of the waste alkali tank 12 away from the alkali washing tower 1 through a pipeline, a tenth valve 16 is provided on the pipeline between the waste alkali tank 12 and the waste alkali pump 17, and a first butter discharge pipe 22 is connected to the upper end of the waste alkali tank 12 away from the alkali washing tower 1, and a seventh valve 13 is provided on the first butter discharge pipe 22.
[0021] The heating coil 9 is steam heated, and the two interfaces of the heating coil 9 are respectively fixedly connected with a steam inlet pipe 19 and a liquid outlet pipe 20 . The steam inlet pipe 19 is provided with a fifth valve 8 , and the liquid outlet pipe 20 is provided with a sixth valve 10 .
[0022] An inhibitor pipe 21 is connected between the first valve 2 and the fourth valve 7. An injection pump 4 and a butter inhibitor tank 6 are sequentially arranged on the inhibitor pipe 21. A second valve 3 is arranged between the injection pump 4 and the first valve 2. A third valve 5 is arranged between the injection pump 4 and the butter inhibitor tank 6.
[0023] An eleventh valve 18 is further provided on the pipeline of the waste alkali pump 17 away from the tenth valve 16 .
[0024] A second butter discharge pipe 23 is externally connected to the lower end of the waste alkali tank 12 on the side away from the alkali washing tower 1 , and an eighth valve 14 is provided on the second butter discharge pipe 23 .
[0025] The eighth valve 14 is connected in parallel with the seventh valve 13. The first butter discharge pipe 22 and the second butter discharge pipe 23 are connected to a third butter discharge pipe 24. The third butter discharge pipe 24 is provided with a ninth valve 15.
[0026] A thermometer 11 is installed at the lower middle part of the side of the waste alkali tank 12.
[0027] During operation, the waste alkali produced in the olefin separation enters the waste alkali tank 12 from the alkali washing tower 1. At this time, the second valve 3 and the third valve 5 are opened to open the butter inhibitor injection pipeline, and then the injection pump 4 is started. The injection pump 4 provides power for the inhibitor pipe 21 to inject the butter inhibitor from the butter inhibitor tank 6 into the waste alkali tank 12. As the daily waste alkali liquid is about 30t / d, the injection amount of butter inhibitor is about 1 ton.
[0028] Open the fifth valve 8 and the sixth valve 10 connected to the heating coil 9, and inject steam into the steam inlet pipe 19. The steam enters the heating coil 9 and heats the bottom of the waste alkali tank 12. After releasing heat, the steam condenses into condensate and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 20. A thermometer 11, model TI440, is installed in the lower middle portion of the side of the waste alkali tank 12. The temperature of the thermometer 11 is controlled at 60-70°C. When the temperature reaches 60-70°C, stop injecting steam into the steam inlet pipe 19, which in turn stops heating the waste alkali tank 12 by the heating coil 9. When the temperature reaches 60-70°C, the butter in the waste alkali tank 12 softens into a paste due to the combined effects of the butter inhibitor and the high temperature, and floats above the waste alkali liquid in the tank 12.
[0029] In addition, the utility model adds a discharge line for the butter in the waste alkali tank 12, specifically, two 4-inch openings are opened in the waste alkali tank 12, the upper opening is connected to the first butter discharge pipe 22, and the seventh valve 13 is installed on the first butter discharge pipe 22, and the lower opening is connected to the second butter discharge pipe 23, and the eighth valve 14 is installed on the second butter discharge pipe 23. The first butter discharge pipe 22 and the second butter discharge pipe 23 are commonly connected to the third butter discharge pipe 24, and the ninth valve 15 is installed on the third butter discharge pipe 24. The butter is discharged from the system through the third butter discharge pipe 24.
[0030] When the liquid level of the waste alkali tank 12 is high, the seventh valve 13 and the ninth valve 15 can be opened to discharge the butter; when the liquid level of the waste alkali tank 12 is low, the eighth valve 14 and the ninth valve 15 can be opened to discharge the butter; when the liquid level of the waste alkali tank 12 is between the first butter discharge pipe 22 and the second butter discharge pipe 23, waste alkali liquid can be input into the waste alkali tank 12, or the tenth valve 16, the waste alkali pump 17 and the eleventh valve 18 can be opened to discharge part of the waste alkali liquid in the waste alkali tank 12.
