[0036] A dryer is arranged on the pipeline five 14, the inlet of the dryer is connected with the gas phase outlet of the liquid separator 8, and the outlet of the dryer is connected with the inlet of the compressor 9.
[0037] An oxygen table 17 for monitoring the oxygen content in the circulating gas is arranged on the pipeline six 15 and the pipeline two 11, and the plate heat exchanger 2 to be charred is a plate heat exchanger to be charred without an ammonium salt generating environment.
[0038] A safety valve for discharging part of circulating gas to a venting system before charring is arranged on the top of the liquid separator 8.
[0039] The heating furnace 1 is an electric heating furnace.
[0040] Temperature sensors are arranged on the pipeline one 10, the pipeline two 11 and the pipeline three 12 respectively.
[0041] Pressure tables are arranged on the pipeline two 11 and the air injection pipeline 18.
[0042] When the system is in operation, nitrogen is supplemented through the nitrogen supplement pipeline 16, and the system pressure is determined according to the nitrogen working condition design value of the compressor 9. The compressor 9 is started to establish gas circulation, and the system is checked for leakage. Then the heating furnace 1 is started to heat, and after reaching 120℃, constant temperature dehydration is carried out. After confirming that the system is dry, the temperature is continuously increased to 200℃. The air injection valve is slowly adjusted to adjust the oxygen content of the system. After the system pressure starts to rise, part of the circulating gas is discharged through the top safety valve of the liquid separation tank 8 to the venting system, so as to maintain a suitable system pressure. Temporary oxygen tables are installed in the pipeline six 15 from the outlet of the compressor 9 to the inlet of the heating furnace 1 and the pipeline two 11 from the outlet of the cold end of the plate heat exchanger 4 to the inlet of the hot end, which are used to monitor the oxygen content of the circulating gas before and after coking. When the values of the two oxygen tables are the same and stable, it indicates that the current working condition is coking completed, and the temperature and oxygen content are continuously increased or the coking is terminated. The liquid separation tank 8 includes one or more stages of gas-liquid separation equipment, which is used to remove the liquid phase components in the circulating coking gas and recover the gas phase components. The material in the hot end outlet 6 of the plate heat exchanger is cooled by the cold exchange equipment, and then enters the middle part of the liquid separation tank 8. The gas phase part passes through the top defoaming net to remove liquid drops, and then enters the front cold exchange equipment of the next stage of liquid separation tank 8. Until the temperature of the gas phase at the top is not more than 40℃, it enters the suction inlet of the compressor 9. The liquid phase at the bottom is discharged through a closed discharge system in the early stage of coking, and is discharged through an open discharge system in the later stage of coking to measure and remove the water content. The pipeline between the bottom of the liquid separation tank 8 and the downstream process system must be isolated by a blind plate. The pipeline from the top safety valve or other closed discharge system to the venting system is used as a coking tail gas discharge port.
[0043] The circulating gas used in the plate heat exchanger coking regeneration process is a mixture of nitrogen and air. In the embodiment, the oxygen content control range is 0% to 1%, and the oxygen content is gradually and slowly increased according to the coking progress. In the embodiment, the circulating gas enters the heating furnace 1 for heating, so that the temperature entering the plate heat exchanger is increased to 400℃ finally. The outlet temperature of the heating furnace 1 should be strictly increased in stages according to the coking temperature curve, and at the same time, the upper limit of the temperature resistance of the pipeline equipment should be considered. Over-temperature is strictly prohibited. The temperature of the one-stage coking gas coming out of the plate heat exchanger is slightly increased. By adjusting the opening degree of the valve 21 on the cross pipeline 20, part of the circulating gas at the outlet of the compressor 9 directly enters the two-stage coking gas, so as to control the temperature of the two-stage coking gas to the cold exchange equipment to be not more than 200℃, and to ensure that the inlet of the air cooler is not over-temperature.
[0044] The whole coking process in the embodiment adopts closed discharge, which can not only improve the environmental protection and safety of the system, but also has accurate temperature control, can effectively reduce energy waste, improves the working efficiency and energy utilization efficiency of the coking regeneration system, and effectively guarantees the safety and long-term stable operation of the equipment.
