AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the coke particles formed by the coking reaction are small in size and do not easily adhere to the furnace tubes. As a result, they enter the post-separation system together with the cracked gas, which increases the operating pressure of the post-separation system, reduces the heat exchange efficiency, and increases the wear and tear on equipment and pipelines.
A cyclone separator is installed between the pyrolysis furnace and the quench water tower. The cyclone separator separates the coke powder stream into coarse coke powder and fine coke powder. After being washed with water, the fine coke powder enters the quench water cyclone separator and the gasoline cyclone separator for further separation, separating quench water, gasoline and coke powder, thereby reducing the solid particle content in the downstream separation system.
Improvements to the separation system reduced the solid particle content in the post-separation system, ensuring stable operation of the post-steam pyrolysis separation system, improving heat exchange efficiency, and reducing equipment wear.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can be practiced according to other embodiments that do not require some of the specific details described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure and are not all embodiments.
[0025] At present, during the whole cracking cycle, the inner wall of the furnace tube is gradually attached by the coke powder generated by the reaction of the cracking furnace. When the thickness of the coking reaches a certain degree, the inner wall of the furnace tube needs to be decoked. At this time, the cracking furnace stops feeding and switches from device operation to steam standby state, and the mixer of steam and air is used to burn the coke on the inner wall of the furnace tube. With the application of high-efficiency heat transfer furnace tube technology of the cracking furnace, the coking speed in the furnace tube is reduced, and the operation cycle of the furnace tube is prolonged. However, the improved heat transfer enhanced furnace tube cannot completely eliminate the coking reaction. The coke particles formed by the coking reaction are small in size and are not easy to attach to the furnace tube. They will enter the post-separation system together with the cracking gas, increase the operating pressure of the post-separation system, reduce the heat exchange efficiency, and increase the equipment and pipeline wear.
[0026] Based on this, the present embodiment provides a steam cracking gas coke powder separation system. The present disclosure sets a cyclone separator between the cracking furnace and the quenching water tower. The cyclone separator can separate the stream containing coke powder generated by the cracking furnace into a coarse coke powder stream and a fine coke powder stream. The coarse coke powder stream is discharged through the first stream outlet, and the fine coke powder stream is discharged into the quenching water tower through the first fine coke powder stream outlet. The fine coke powder stream washed by water is discharged through the second stream outlet and the third stream outlet. The quenching water passes through the second stream outlet and is pressurized by the quenching water pump to enter the quenching water liquid cyclone separator to separate the quenching water and the fine coke powder. The gasoline passes through the third stream outlet and is pressurized by the gasoline pump to enter the gasoline liquid cyclone separator to separate the gasoline and the fine coke powder. By implementing the technical solution of the present disclosure, the coke powder entering the post-system can be separated, the solid particle content in the post-separation system is reduced, and the stable operation of the steam cracking post-separation system is ensured.
[0027] The steam cracking gas coke powder separation system will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
