Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of delayed coking, in particular to a delayed coking slag recycling device. Background Art

[0002] Recycling scum from the delayed coking unit is a common environmental protection and resource utilization measure in refineries. Scum is primarily produced during the refinery's wastewater treatment process, particularly in the flotation unit. It is primarily composed of oil, water, suspended solids, and other impurities, with a moisture content generally exceeding 90%. Because scum contains a certain amount of recoverable hydrocarbons and other valuable components, it is also classified as hazardous waste. Therefore, direct discharge or simple disposal not only wastes resources but also may cause environmental pollution. Recycling scum can recover hydrocarbons and other valuable substances, improve resource utilization, reduce scum discharge and accumulation, and mitigate potential environmental threats.

[0003] The slag recycling method includes: after the large steam blowing of the coke tower is completed, in the small water supply stage, the slag in the buffer tank is pressurized by the slag pump and then introduced into the coke tower for recycling. The oil and organic matter in the slag will be broken down into smaller molecules, part of which will be recovered as products and part as part of the coke.

[0004] Because recycling slag during high steam blowing can cause water hammer and coke explosion, most refineries recycle slag during the low-water feed phase of the coke drum. Since slag enters the coke drum during this phase, the coke temperature is relatively low, and the slag enters along with the feed water, the oily floating matter in the slag cannot be effectively recycled. Some of this oil adheres to the coke surface or in the green coke channel, affecting coke quality data. Others circulate repeatedly with the cold coke water, causing the water quality to deteriorate to a low level, further affecting coke quality indicators. Utility Model Content

[0005] Aiming at the technical problem in the prior art that slag recycling affects the quality of coke, the utility model provides a delayed coking slag recycling device to improve the quality of coke products.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A delayed coking slag recycling device comprises two coke drums arranged in parallel. A feed pipe is connected between the bottom feed openings of the two coke drums. The feed pipe is equipped with a coking oil delivery pipe connected to the feed opening in a T-shaped manner. The device also includes a slag tank, a slag pump, and an atomizer. The bottom discharge opening of the slag tank is connected to the feed opening of the slag pump via a pipeline. The discharge opening of the slag pump is connected to the liquid phase inlet of the atomizer via a first pipeline. The gas phase inlet of the atomizer is connected to a low-pressure steam network via a second pipeline. The discharge opening of the atomizer is connected to the feed pipe via a third pipeline. A light fraction discharge pipe is provided at the top outlet of each coke drum. A vent pipe is connected between the two light fraction discharge pipes, and the vent pipe is equipped with a vent valve. This vent pipe functions to vent the interior of the coke drum. A first temperature sensor is mounted on the inner wall of the light fraction discharge pipe, located near the top outlet of the coke drum and electrically connected to a controller. This sensor provides feedback on the temperature of the medium at the top of the coke drum, thereby controlling the steam and slag flow rates. A second temperature sensor is installed on the coke drum wall, located in the upper-middle portion of the drum. It is electrically connected to the controller. It monitors and provides feedback on the drum wall temperature, thereby controlling the steam and slag flow rates. A first flowmeter and a first regulating valve are installed on the first pipeline, both of which are electrically connected to the controller. These two valves are used to monitor and regulate the slag flow rate. A second flowmeter and a second regulating valve are installed on the second pipeline, both of which are electrically connected to the controller. These two valves are used to monitor and regulate the steam flow rate.

[0008] Furthermore, the system further comprises a first cross-line, wherein the input end and the output end of the first cross-line are respectively connected to the first pipelines on both sides of the first regulating valve, and a first valve is provided on the first cross-line to enable manual adjustment of the slag flow rate.

[0009] Furthermore, the system further comprises a second cross-line, the input end and the output end of the second cross-line being respectively connected to the second pipelines on both sides of the second regulating valve, and a second valve being provided on the second cross-line to enable manual adjustment of the steam flow.

[0010] Furthermore, the first pipeline is connected to a fourth pipeline in a T-shaped manner, and the end of the fourth pipeline is connected to the cold coke pool. The purpose of the fourth pipeline is to set up a branch pipeline to the cold coke pool to blow the accumulated water in the pipeline into the cold coke pool.

[0011] Furthermore, the feed pipe is connected to the coking oil delivery pipe in a T-shape through a three-way valve.

[0012] Furthermore, the vent valve is electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it uses an atomizer to atomize slag into tiny droplets, which are carried by high-speed steam and enter the coke drum through a pipeline. The atomized droplets are pre-expanded upon entering the coke drum, preventing rapid expansion that could cause coke explosion. This reduces the risk of tower blockage accidents and solves the technical problem of excessive tower vibration in coking operations. Furthermore, after atomization, the slag does not accumulate in the coke drum cone, but instead rises rapidly along the channels, absorbing the heat from the coke and rapidly vaporizing. The slag reacts more thoroughly within the coke drum, allowing the vast majority of the light oil components in the slag to be recovered, thereby improving the quality of the coke product.

[0021] In order to achieve the automated operation of the present invention and to ensure the long-term stable operation of the coking unit while refining the slag, the present invention installs a first temperature sensor on the inner wall of the light component discharge pipe 21. The first temperature sensor is located near the top outlet of the coke drum 20 and is electrically connected to the controller 22. The first temperature sensor detects and provides feedback on the temperature of the medium at the top of the coke drum 20, thereby controlling the steam and slag flow rates.

[0026] (2) Steam is drawn out from the low-pressure steam network and enters the gas phase inlet of the atomizer 13 through the second flowmeter 9 and the second regulating valve 12. After entering the atomizer 13, the steam atomizes the water and scum into tiny droplets. The vapor-liquid mixture enters the coke drum 20 through the outlet valve from the atomizer 13 outlet. The atomized scum is rapidly heated and vaporized in the coke drum 20, and then enters the venting system from the top of the coke drum 20 together with the steam and oil and gas. The controller 22 system controls the first regulating valve 6 and the second regulating valve 12 to adjust the scum and steam flow rates respectively according to the medium temperature feedback from the temperature sensor on the top of the coke drum 20 and the temperature drop rate feedback from the temperature sensor on the wall of the coke drum 20.
