AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the diethylbenzene material in the adsorption tower and the material sampled on-site are discharged into the underground tank. Due to contact with air, the carbonyl and bromine indices become unqualified, affecting the stability of the system. Furthermore, factors such as the high space velocity in the clay tower cause materials with unqualified bromine indices and carbonyl groups to enter the system, resulting in adsorbent poisoning.
Design a diethylbenzene recovery system. The system uses a clay tower to remove carbonyl and bromine index from heated diethylbenzene. If the sample passes the test at the outlet, it is sent into the system; otherwise, it is recycled to the collection tank for further processing until it passes the test and is then incorporated into the system.
The system achieves cyclic processing of diethylbenzene, ensuring that the carbonyl group and bromine index are qualified before it enters the system, thus preventing system contamination and ensuring system stability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical technology, specifically to a diethylbenzene recovery system. Background Technology
[0002] In the adsorption unit, p-diethylbenzene is a crucial desorbent in the adsorption tower system. During operation, small amounts of C8A and p-diethylbenzene produced, along with p-diethylbenzene after on-site sampling and replacement, are discharged into an underground tank. Because on-site sampling involves contact with air, it can lead to the production of carbonyl groups and bromine indices, causing the p-diethylbenzene to fail quality standards. When the underground tank level reaches 70%, sampling analysis reveals the presence of carbonyl groups and bromine indices, and the product is then discharged into the p-diethylbenzene tank area. When the unit system experiences a p-diethylbenzene system deficit, it can be replenished through the p-diethylbenzene tank area, but carbonyl and bromine indices must be removed. However, due to factors such as high space velocity in the clay tower, sometimes unqualified bromine and carbonyl groups enter the system, causing chronic poisoning of the adsorbent in the adsorption tower. Utility Model Content

[0017] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0018] See appendix Figure 1 A diethylbenzene recovery system includes a diethylbenzene collection tank 1, an air cooler 2, a diethylbenzene tank area 3, a steam heat exchanger 4, a clay tower 5, and a circulation pipeline 6. The outlet main pipe 7 of the diethylbenzene collection tank 1 is connected to the diethylbenzene tank area 3 via a first branch pipeline 8, on which the air cooler 2 is installed. The diethylbenzene tank area 3 is sequentially connected to the steam heat exchanger 4 and the clay tower 5 via a tank area outlet pipeline 9. The outlet of the clay tower 5 is connected to the diethylbenzene system via a diethylbenzene external supply pipeline 10, on which an outlet sampler 11 is installed. The diethylbenzene external supply pipeline 10 is connected to the inlet of the diethylbenzene collection tank 1 via the circulation pipeline 6. The outlet main pipe 7 of the diethylbenzene collection tank 1 is connected to the diethylbenzene system via a second branch pipeline 15. A heat exchange outlet temperature gauge 12 is installed downstream of the steam heat exchanger 4, and an air cooler outlet temperature gauge 13 is installed downstream of the air cooler 2.
[0019] Based on the above technical solution, during the operation of the adsorption unit, small amounts of C8A and para-diethylbenzene are intermittently discharged from the reflux tanks of each distillation column and other containers with residual desorbent. Para-diethylbenzene after on-site sampling and replacement is also discharged into para-diethylbenzene collection tank 1. Because on-site sampling involves contact with air, it can lead to the production of carbonyl groups and bromine indices, causing para-diethylbenzene to fail the test. When the liquid level in para-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 reaches 70%, a sample is taken for analysis. If the carbonyl groups and bromine indices are within acceptable limits, the system can be directly replenished from the deficit. If the sample analysis shows the presence of carbonyl groups and bromine indices, it is discharged into the para-diethylbenzene tank area. When the unit system is again deficient in para-diethylbenzene, it can be replenished through the tank area centrifugal pump, but carbonyl groups and bromine indices must be removed. After being heated to 130°C by steam heat exchanger 4, the carbonyl groups and bromine indices are removed by the clay tower 5. Only after passing the test is the material discharged into the system. If the desulfurization treatment in the white clay tower fails after sampling, the sample is sent to the p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 via circulation pipeline 6. There, it enters the p-diethylbenzene tank area 3 along with newly collected p-diethylbenzene and is then processed again through the white clay tower 5 until the carbonyl and bromine index meet the requirements. The substandard p-diethylbenzene, after being heated by the steam heat exchanger 4, needs to be air-cooled by the air cooler 2 before being sent from the p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 to the p-diethylbenzene tank area 3. The air cooler 2 is set to have an outlet temperature of 50°C.
[0020] Furthermore, in order to control the opening and closing of the first branch pipeline 8, a first valve 14 is provided on the first branch pipeline 8, and the first valve 14 is located upstream of the air cooler 2.
[0021] Furthermore, in order to control the on / off state of the second branch pipeline 15, a second valve 16 is installed on the second branch pipeline 15; the outlet of the second branch pipeline 15 is connected to the downstream of the outlet sampler, and can be directly sent to the diethylbenzene system through the second branch pipeline 15; an external supply valve 23 is installed on the external supply pipeline 10, which is located downstream of the outlet of the second branch pipeline and before the inlet of the diethylbenzene system. When the diethylbenzene system of the device system is deficient, the second valve 16 is opened to replenish the qualified diethylbenzene, and the unqualified diethylbenzene can also be cut off in time.
[0022] Furthermore, the inlet of the circulation pipeline 6 is connected upstream of the outlet sampler; a circulation line valve 17 is installed on the circulation pipeline 6. When the circulation line valve 17 is opened, the unqualified p-diethylbenzene from the outlet of the white clay tower 5 enters the p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1.
[0023] Furthermore, a collection tank centrifugal pump 18 is installed on the outlet manifold 7.
[0024] Furthermore, a tank area centrifugal pump 19 is installed on the tank area outlet pipeline 9. The tank area centrifugal pump 19 is connected to the outlet of the diethylbenzene tank area 3, and the tank area centrifugal pump 19 is equipped with a pump outlet valve 20.
[0025] Furthermore, a flow control valve 21 is installed on the tank area outlet pipeline 9, and the flow control valve 21 is connected upstream of the steam heat exchanger 4. The outlet temperature of the steam heat exchanger 4 can be controlled by the flow control valve 21.
[0026] Furthermore, the gas phase outlet at the top of the diethylbenzene collection tank 1 is connected to the flare system via a gas phase discharge pipeline 22.
[0027] Furthermore, the inlet of the p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 is connected to the desorbent discharge manifold 24, and the desorbent remaining in each container of the adsorption unit enters the p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 through the desorbent discharge manifold 24. The p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 is an underground tank.

[0030] (2) Open the first valve 14, start the centrifugal pump 18 of the collection tank to feed the p-diethylbenzene tank area 3, and close the second valve 16, that is, close the p-diethylbenzene collection tank 1 to the p-diethylbenzene system process;
[0031] (3) Open the pump outlet valve 20 and start the tank area centrifugal pump 19 to feed the white clay tower 5;
[0032] (4) After confirming that the cold material has arrived, put steam heat exchanger 4 into operation and heat it to 130°C;
[0033] (5) Open the circulation line valve 17, that is, open the process from the white clay tower 5 to the diethylbenzene collection tank 1, and close the external supply valve 23, that is, close the process from the white clay tower 5 to the diethylbenzene system.
[0034] (6) Samples are taken periodically through the outlet sampler 11. The sample is considered qualified when the carbonyl and bromine index reach <20mgBr / 100g.
[0035] (7) After passing the test, open the external valve 23 to open the process from the white clay tower 5 to the diethylbenzene system, and close the circulation line valve 17 to close the process from the white clay tower 5 to the diethylbenzene collection tank 1.
