Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a cleaning system technical field, specifically, relate to a system of cleaning polytetrahydrofuran device one two stage drier. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG), the primary and secondary dryers play a crucial role. Their main task is to remove moisture from the PTMEG material, ensuring the purity and quality of the final product. The primary dryer receives PTMEG material from the neutralization reactor, which contains a certain amount of water, methanol, and a small amount of salt impurities. To effectively remove these impurities, the primary dryer operates at a temperature of 140°C and a vacuum of 70 mmHg, which allows most of the water and methanol to be vaporized. Through this process, under normal operating conditions, the primary dryer can reduce the moisture content in the PTMEG material from a high initial level to about 1500 ppm. After preliminary water removal by the primary dryer, the PTMEG material enters the secondary dryer for further drying. The secondary dryer operates under more stringent conditions, at the same temperature of 140°C, but the vacuum is increased to 4 mmHg, which further reduces the moisture content in the material to below 100 ppm. This two-step drying process ensures that the PTMEG product meets high standards of purity. Due to the presence of salt substances in the PTMEG material, scaling occurs inside the primary and secondary dryers during long-term continuous operation. These deposits not only hinder heat transfer efficiency, but also reduce the effective volume of the equipment, thereby seriously affecting the water removal effect of the dryer, leading to unstable product quality and possibly increasing energy consumption.

[0003] To address the problem of dryer scaling, the current measures are to open the manhole of the equipment after the material is discharged and the air replacement is qualified, and then manually enter the inside of the dryer for cleaning work. However, entering a confined space such as the inside of the dryer for cleaning work poses serious safety risks such as suffocation and falling from a height for workers; manual cleaning is a labor-intensive task that requires a large amount of manpower, and workers working in high-temperature environments are prone to fatigue; the entire cleaning process is time-consuming, affecting the continuity and efficiency of production; traditional cleaning methods may generate wastewater and other pollutants, causing environmental burden.
