Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nitrogen recovery and utilization technology for PTA powder conveying, specifically a PTA powder conveying nitrogen recovery and utilization device. Background Technology

[0002] The silo is located at the top of the unit, and the powder is transported to the rotary valve via tank trucks. Nitrogen gas is used to pump the material into the silo, and the nitrogen pressure is reduced after the pumping is complete. Subsequently, the material undergoes dust removal treatment through a bag filter and is finally discharged into the atmosphere through a vent pipeline.

[0003] The applicant is a large-scale chemical production enterprise. In order to better save energy, the applicant has modified the existing conveying system. By using a nitrogen circulation device, the use of fresh hydrogen has been reduced, meeting the needs of chemical production. The modification of the existing pneumatic conveying system has achieved good energy-saving results.

[0004] Currently, powder materials mainly rely on nitrogen as the transport gas. Fresh nitrogen is expensive, and there is also a risk of dust pollution when emitted into the atmosphere. In contrast, using a nitrogen circulation device can effectively reduce the use of fresh nitrogen and reduce operating costs.

[0005] Therefore, a nitrogen recovery and utilization device for PTA powder conveying is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a nitrogen recovery and utilization device for PTA powder conveying, which has the advantages of being able to recover and recycle nitrogen, effectively reducing the use of fresh nitrogen and effectively reducing operating costs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a nitrogen recovery and utilization device for PTA powder conveying, comprising a screw compressor unit, a rotary valve, a silo, a bag filter, a basket filter, and a compressor inlet cooler. The screw compressor unit is connected to the rotary valve via a pipeline, the rotary valve is connected to the silo, the bag filter is mounted on the silo via a flange, the bag filter is connected to the basket filter via a pipeline, and the basket filter is connected to the compressor inlet cooler via a pipeline.

[0008] Preferably, the nitrogen used to transport the powder is recycled back into the system as circulating nitrogen, reducing the use of fresh nitrogen in the system.

[0009] Preferably, the nitrogen gas used to transport the powder needs to pass through the bag filter and the basket filter to remove the dust carried in the transport gas.

[0010] Preferably, the circulating nitrogen gas passes through the compressor inlet cooler before entering the screw compressor unit to reduce the nitrogen temperature and increase the gas compression ratio.

[0011] Preferably, the screw compressor unit is provided with a gas supply line and a vent line at the inlet for replacement in case of screw compressor unit failure.

[0012] Preferably, the second air supply line and the exhaust line installed before the compressor inlet cooler are used for system replacement before conveying powder materials.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention modifies the process by introducing nitrogen through two pipelines—an exhaust pipeline and a makeup gas pipeline—to replace the air in the system pipelines. Then, the screw compressor unit is started, circulating the nitrogen within the system. Material from the tanker is transported to the silo via a rotary valve. After transport, the nitrogen is filtered through a bag filter and a basket filter, then cooled by the compressor inlet cooler, and finally re-enters the screw compressor unit for compression, thus recycling the nitrogen. This significantly reduces the use of fresh nitrogen and decreases nitrogen emissions into the atmosphere. In practical applications, this method demonstrates excellent results, achieving the goals of energy conservation and environmental protection. Attached Figure Description
