Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of polyolefin chemical production equipment, and in particular to a sleeve-type degassing tower. Background Technology

[0002] In polyolefin chemical production, the raw materials contain impurities such as CO, CO2, O2, and light hydrocarbons. These impurities are toxic to polymerization catalysts and can reduce their activity. Therefore, the raw material refining unit is usually equipped with a degassing tower, which removes impurities such as CO from the raw materials through distillation.

[0003] Because the flow rates of by-products such as propylene, butene, and hexene in the synthesis of monomers are relatively small, and the degassing tower is long and slender, personnel cannot crawl inside to install the internal components. To solve the problem of internal component installation, traditional degassing towers are designed as multi-section towers connected by flanges. The installation of internal components requires first installing the internal components into each section of the tower, and then assembling the prefabricated multi-section tower as a whole and tightening it with flanges and bolts. Since the downcomer of the internal components has installation direction requirements, the technical requirements for assembling multi-section towers are higher than those for integrated distillation towers. Furthermore, traditional polyolefin monomer degassing towers have diameters ranging from 600mm to 1000mm, and each degassing tower is divided into more than 4 sections, which are connected as a whole by at least 4 pairs of flanges. The flange setup increases the risk of leaks. The workload for disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of multi-section distillation towers is greater than that of integrated towers, resulting in higher time costs. Utility Model Content
