Among them, the removal of acidic gases in raw materials occupies a key proportion. Especially in today's era, the construction of ethylene devices worldwide shows a trend of increasing number and increasing scale, which makes the removal of acidic gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in cracking gas particularly critical.

This condition directly causes the waste alkali oxidation unit of the device to malfunction, because the waste alkali oxidation unit has strict requirements for the oil content in waste alkali, which is less than 100 ppm. If the butter stays in the caustic washing tower for a long time without being removed, it will cause a series of serious problems, such as significant decrease in caustic washing efficiency of caustic washing tower, rapid rise of tower pressure difference, substandard removal of cracking gas acidic gases, and thus the whole device cannot realize long-period stable operation.

[0015] In one embodiment, a pretreatment system of butter in waste caustic, comprising a gasoline mixer 5, a waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6, a baffle plate one 7, a partition one 8, a partition two 9, a washing water mixer 20, an oil phase separator 21, a baffle plate two 22, a partition three 23, a partition four 24 and a pressure controller 33, characterized in that: a waste caustic solution pipeline 1 and a gasoline pipeline 3 are communicated with the gasoline mixer 5 respectively, the waste caustic solution pipeline 1 is provided with a flow controller one 1.1, the gasoline pipeline 3 is provided with a flow controller two 3.1 and a control valve one 3.2, a ratio controller one 2 is connected between the flow controller one 1.1 and the flow controller two 3.1, the gasoline mixer 5 is communicated with the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 through a pipeline, the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6, the oil phase separator 21 and the washing water mixer 20 are communicated through a pipeline, the bottom of the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 and the bottom of the washing water mixer 20 are communicated through a pipeline, the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 is provided with the baffle plate one 7, the partition one 8 and the partition two 9, a defoamer 10 is arranged at the top of the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6, and the oil phase separator 21 is provided with the baffle plate two 22, the partition three 23 and the partition four 24.
[0016] In one embodiment, the bottom of the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 and the bottom of the oil phase separator 21 are provided with double-head pipes 125, the pipeline communicated between the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 and the washing water mixer 20 is sequentially provided with a flow controller three 6.1 from left to right, and a washing water pipeline 17 is provided with an adjusting valve one 6.2, the washing water pipeline 17 is provided with a flow controller four 17.1 and a washing water adjusting valve 17.2, and a ratio controller two 16 is connected and communicated between the flow controller three 6.1 and the flow controller four 17.1.
[0017] In one embodiment, the pipeline communicated between the bottom of the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 and the bottom of the oil phase separator 21 is provided with an adjusting valve two 6.3, an adjusting valve three 6.4 and a waste liquid waste caustic oxidation unit pipeline 27, the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 and the oil phase separator 21 are provided with liquid level controllers 26, the bottom of the oil phase separator 21 is provided with a gasoline to tank pipeline 28, the gasoline to tank pipeline 28 is provided with a pipeline valve 28.1, and the bottom of the waste caustic butter oil phase separator 6 and the oil phase separator 21 are provided with nitrogen seal to flare pipeline 31.
[0018] The oil-containing waste lye from the caustic washing tower and gasoline from the storage tank are mixed in the gasoline mixer 5 and then enter the waste lye oil phase separator 6. The waste lye oil phase separator 6 is designed with a first chamber, a second chamber and a third chamber, and the three chambers are separated by the baffle 1 8 and the baffle 2 9, both of which are designed to be not sealed at the top. When the oil-containing waste lye from the caustic washing tower and the gasoline from the storage tank are mixed in the gasoline mixer 5, the gasoline will extract the yellow oil in the waste lye, and the two will be quickly separated into layers due to the density difference. The lye is heavier and sinks to the bottom, and the gasoline is lighter and floats on the top. The waste lye oil phase separator 6 is designed with a baffle 1 7 in the leftmost first chamber to further promote the mixing of the oil-containing waste lye and the gasoline. The feed line of the waste lye oil phase separator 6 is designed to the left of the first chamber to prevent the feed from affecting the static separation process in the first chamber. As the layers are separated, more and more oil is formed in the first chamber, and eventually it flows over the top of the baffle into the second chamber. The lye at the bottom of the first chamber directly enters the third chamber through the double-head pipe 1 25 at the bottom of the oil phase separator 21.
[0019] The oil phase separator 21 is designed similarly to the waste lye oil phase separator 6, with three chambers separated by the baffle 3 23 and the baffle 4 24, both of which are designed to be not sealed at the top. The oil phase from the second chamber of the waste lye oil phase separator 6 is mixed with the washing water in the washing water mixer 20 to wash away the residual lye in the oil phase. Due to the density difference, the oil phase is lighter and floats on the top in the first chamber of the oil phase separator 21, and the washing water is heavier and sinks to the bottom. Similarly, the leftmost chamber of the oil phase separator 21 is designed with a baffle 2 22 to further promote the mixing of the oil phase and the washing water. The outlet of the feed line is designed to be towards the left to prevent the feed from affecting the static separation process in the first chamber. As the layers are separated, more and more oil is formed in the first chamber, and eventually it flows over the top of the baffle into the second chamber. The washing water at the bottom of the first chamber, which is mixed with the lye, directly enters the third chamber through the double-head pipe 1 25 at the bottom of the oil phase separator 21. The oil in the second chamber is further separated and is sent out under the action of the liquid level controller 26.
[0020] The lye in the third chambers of the waste lye oil phase separator 6 and the oil phase separator 21 is sent out under the action of the respective liquid level controllers 26 and then combined and sent to the downstream waste lye oxidation unit for treatment.
[0021] The waste lye butter oil phase separator 6 and the oil phase separator 21 are provided with a nitrogen seal flare line 31 control, under the control of the nitrogen seal flare line 31, a certain pressure is maintained, when the pressure is high, the flare regulating valve is automatically opened to release pressure, when the pressure is low, the nitrogen regulating supplement valve is automatically opened to supplement nitrogen to supplement pressure.
[0022] The mixed waste lye and gasoline is adjusted by the ratio controller 2, when the oil-containing waste lye flow from the lye washing tower is detected, the ratio controller 2 automatically opens the control valve 3.2 to supplement a certain amount of gasoline according to the set ratio value.
[0023] After the oil in the second chamber of the waste lye butter oil phase separator 6 is sent out, the washing water regulating valve 17.2 is automatically opened under the action of the ratio controller 2 to supplement a certain amount of washing water according to the set ratio value.
[0024] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
