[0031] The top of the atmosphere tank 3 is provided with a first pipeline, one end of the first pipeline is connected with a second pipeline, the second pipeline is communicated with the torch 5 and the blower 6 of the heating furnace 8 respectively, and the blower 6 in the torch 5 and the heating furnace 8 is respectively connected with a cut-off valve.
[0032] The pipeline to the blower 6 in the heating furnace 8 is provided with an online analyzer 7, when the combustible gas concentration exceeds the safety threshold value, the system can automatically discharge the dangerous gas to the torch 5 system for combustion.
[0033] The online analyzer 7, such as SOLAREx series LEL concentration analyzer, adopts hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) and hydrogen flame temperature detector (FTA) technology, can monitor the combustible gas concentration in the exhaust gas in real time, the FID detector measures the organic matter content in the sample by hydrogen flame ionization, directly measures the organic matter content in the sample, and the LEL value corresponding to the explosion limit of the corresponding component, and the FTA directly measures the inorganic matter, ensures the measurement accuracy and linearity, the response time of such analyzer is extremely fast, less than 1 second, can timely detect the change of the combustible gas component content, so that when the online analyzer 7 monitors that the combustible gas component content exceeds the set value in the pressure reducing tower 1 process, a signal is automatically sent to the automatic cut-off valve, the signal causes the automatic cut-off valve to close the cut-off valve of the pipeline connected to the pressure reducing tower 1, and opens the cut-off valve to the torch 5 system at the same time, compared with the existing processing method, such linkage mechanism ensures that when the combustible gas concentration exceeds the safety threshold value, the system can automatically take measures to safely discharge the dangerous gas to the torch 5 system for combustion, so as to prevent possible explosion or fire, at the same time, the economy is high, the land investment is small, and the safety is guaranteed.

[0049] S7, Vacuum maintenance:
[0050] The liquid ring vacuum pump 4 works to maintain the required vacuum state of the vacuum tower 1, ensuring the efficiency of fractionation;
[0051] S8, Gas analysis:
[0052] The online analyzer 7 monitors and analyzes the changes in the content of combustible gas components in real time, ensuring that the product meets the predetermined quality standards;

[0054] Controlled by return line regulating valve;
[0055] S10, Combustion system:
[0056] Non-condensable gases are burned by the flare 5, which is a safe discharge method for handling harmful or flammable gases;

[0059] S12, heating furnace combustion:
[0060] The heating furnace 8 burns non-condensable gas without explosive components.
[0061] The whole process is a continuous physical separation and treatment process, which separates different components in the raw oil into valuable products by accurately controlling pressure, temperature and flow, and ensures stable operation of the whole system and environmental safety.
