Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] Please see Figs. 1-3 This utility model provides a mixed hydrocarbon fine separation device, including: a filter assembly for filtering foreign matter in mixed hydrocarbons;
[0034] A gas-liquid separation component, wherein the gas-liquid separation component is connected to the output end of the filter component;
[0035] The filtration assembly includes: a coarse filtration assembly and a fine filtration assembly;

[0037] The coarse filter is used to filter large foreign objects in the mixed hydrocarbons, and the fine filter assembly is used to filter mud and sand in the mixed hydrocarbons.
[0038] It should be noted that the main inventive point of this application is that by setting up a coarse filtration component to filter large foreign objects in the mixed hydrocarbons first, the mixed hydrocarbons then enter the fine filtration component to filter out silt and sand, thereby improving the purity of the mixed hydrocarbons and solving the problem of silt and sand accumulating on the trays and causing the unit to shut down periodically.
[0039] In some embodiments, the coarse filtering assembly comprises a first shunt pipe 1, a second shunt pipe 2 and a third shunt pipe 3;
[0040] One end of the first shunt pipe 1 is connected with the mixed hydrocarbon conveying pipe, the other end of the first shunt pipe 1 is connected with one end of the second shunt pipe 2, the other end of the second shunt pipe 2 is connected with one end of the third shunt pipe 3, and the other end of the third shunt pipe 3 is connected with the input end of the fine filtering assembly;
[0041] A shunt plate 4 is arranged in each of the second shunt pipe 2 and the third shunt pipe 3, the shunt plate 4 divides the corresponding shunt pipe into a plurality of shunt channels, the second shunt pipe 2 comprises two shunt channels, and the number of shunt channels in the third shunt pipe 3 is twice that of the second shunt pipe 2;
[0042] A filtering unit is arranged in each of the first shunt pipe 1, the second shunt pipe 2 and the third shunt pipe 3.
[0043] One filtering unit is arranged in the first shunt pipe 1, two filtering units are arranged in the second shunt pipe 2 and located in the two shunt channels respectively, and four filtering units are arranged in the third shunt pipe 3 and located in the four shunt channels respectively.
[0044] The filtering unit comprises a filtering plate 5, a flow converging plate 6 and a filtering cavity 7.
[0045] The flow converging plate 6 has a cavity structure with two open ends, and the cross section of the flow converging plate 6 is isosceles trapezoidal.
[0046] One end of the filtering cavity 7 is connected with one end of the flow converging plate 6, a plurality of filtering balls are arranged in the filtering cavity 7, the filtering balls have a hollow structure, and a plurality of through holes are formed in the surface of the filtering balls.
[0047] The flow converging plate 6 and the filtering plate 5 are arranged in the shunt channel, one end of the flow converging plate 6 is arranged close to one end of the shunt pipe, and the other end of the filtering plate 5 is arranged close to the other end of the shunt pipe.
[0048] The filtering cavity 7 is located between the flow converging plate 6 and the filtering plate 5.
[0049] The diameters of the filtering holes on the filtering plates in the first shunt pipe, the second shunt pipe and the third shunt pipe decrease in turn, and when the mixed hydrocarbon passes through the first shunt pipe, the second shunt pipe and the third shunt pipe, the first fluid is gradually divided into two fluids and then into four fluids, so that the filtering effect can be improved. Since the filtering cavity is arranged in each shunt pipe and the filtering balls are arranged in the filtering cavity, the large-volume foreign matters in the mixed hydrocarbon can be effectively filtered.
[0050] In some embodiments, the polishing filter assembly comprises two polishing water traps 8, the input ends of which are connected with the third shunt pipe 3, and the output ends of which are connected with the gas-liquid separation assembly.

[0054] The two ends of the reboiler 9 are connected with the sidewall and the bottom of the rectifying tower 10, respectively.
[0055] In the original deethanizer, two polishing water traps are added (switched for use in normal production), and the mixed hydrocarbon is enriched and removed in the polishing water trap. Since the density of water is greater than that of mixed hydrocarbon, water will be enriched at the bottom of the polishing water trap, and the mud and sand in the mixed hydrocarbon will be removed, thereby solving the problem of periodic shutdown of the device caused by the accumulation of mud and sand on the tray.
[0056] After the mixed hydrocarbon enters the rectifying tower, the mixed hydrocarbon undergoes the process of heat transfer and mass transfer on the tray under the action of the heat source of the reboiler, and the vapor at the top of the tower enters the overhead condenser for condensation.
[0057] By adjusting the residence time of the mixed hydrocarbon in the water trap, it is ensured that water and mud and sand are completely removed, and water online analysis is performed at the inlet and outlet of the water trap. When the water content at the outlet of the water trap increases to the same as that at the inlet, it indicates that the internal parts of the polishing water trap are blocked, and it is necessary to switch to another polishing water trap in time.
[0058] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
