Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of equipment for removing foaming factors from organic amines, and specifically to a system for filtering and adsorbing foaming factors from organic amines. Background Technology

[0002] Organic amines are widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and petroleum refining. They produce foaming agents, which are usually low-molecular-weight surface-active substances. In organic amines, foaming agents may include aliphatic amines, alcohols, ethers, and other hydrocarbons and macromolecular compounds. These can reduce the surface tension of the liquid, leading to foam formation. Foam formation can affect the stability of the production process, reduce product quality, increase operational difficulty, and may even lead to equipment damage and safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to adsorb and remove them to prevent organic amine liquid from foaming and overflowing the tower. In addition to filtering large mechanical impurities, it can also adsorb and remove some heavy hydrocarbons. These large mechanical impurities and heavy hydrocarbons are important foaming agents in organic amine liquids, and they are prone to generating foam during production and use.

[0003] Traditional filtration methods rely solely on simple physical filtration. This method can only filter solids, large particles, and heavy hydrocarbon impurities in amine solutions, but it fails to remove hydrocarbons and macromolecular compounds, resulting in poor purification effects and low efficiency of organic amine solutions.

[0013] The separator is also equipped with an amine liquid outlet and a slag discharge port. The amine liquid outlet is connected to the outlet of the activated carbon feed pump through a pipeline.
