Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of petroleum chemical industry relates to a kind of needle coke production process coke tower preheating system. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, needle coke is high-quality raw material for producing steelmaking ultra-high power (UHP) graphite electrode, and delayed coking is an important process in needle coke process. In the delayed coking process, the coke tower is an important equipment for needle coke production, and it needs to be fully preheated before feeding coke tower.

[0003] The preheating method of the delayed coking process for traditional needle coke production is to use the oil vapor of the production tower to reverse lead to the top of the preheating tower. At this time, the method has the following defects:

[0004] 1. Low preheating temperature. Generally, the bottom of the tower is required to be preheated to about 330℃ before cutting. In order to achieve the preheating temperature of the preheating tower, a large amount of oil gas from the coke tower is gradually introduced into the preheating tower. This part of the oil gas is cooled and released to the low pressure system after preheating. This breaks the material balance, heat balance and pressure balance, increases the operation difficulty of the device, and brings many systematic problems.

[0005] 2. The preheating final temperature distribution of the coke tower is not reasonable, forming high at the top and low at the bottom. The production of needle coke has strict requirements on temperature, and the uneven preheating temperature of the preheating tower seriously affects the coking process, causing uneven quality distribution of needle coke in the coke tower, and unable to effectively improve the coke quality.

[0006] 3. Each preheating of the coke tower produces oil, which becomes waste oil, reduces liquid recovery, increases energy consumption, and reduces the yield of the device.

[0007] 4. It causes periodic fluctuations of the device, reduces the quality control accuracy of the by-product, and increases the heat energy loss of the system, the amount of coke powder carried by the production system, and the coking risk of the heating furnace. INVENTION CONTENTS

The coking tower, the preheating tower and the cold coke tower are connected to a fractionating tower through first, second and third pipelines respectively. First and second oil gas isolation valves are arranged on the first and second pipelines respectively.
