AI Technical Summary
During the production of ammonium sulfate, the return pipe of the gas preheater is easily blocked by the mixture of asphalt slag, which increases the resistance to condensate return, affects the normal operation of the production system, and requires frequent shutdowns for slag removal, posing a safety risk.
An inclined circular filter screen and branch pipes are installed in the main drain pipe to filter large particles of asphalt residue. The settling pipe is used to settle small particles of residue. The condensate is recovered through the overflow pipe and the guide pipe. Combined with the pipeline sight glass monitoring, blockage is prevented.
It effectively filters and settles asphalt sludge, reduces the resistance to condensate backflow, ensures the safe and stable operation of the production system, reduces the frequency of downtime for sludge removal, and lowers safety risks.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of ammonium sulfate production, especially relates to a coal gas preheater liquid withdrawal anti-blocking pipeline for ammonium sulfate production. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic substance, colorless crystal or white particle, odorless. Ammonium sulfate is mainly used as fertilizer, suitable for various soils and crops. Also can be used in textile, leather, medicine and other aspects.
[0003] In the production of ammonium sulfate, the desulfurization section of the coal gas will be transported to the preheater, and the main function of the preheater is to heat the coal gas, the purpose is to maintain the water balance in the saturator in the subsequent section, prevent the mother liquor from being diluted or concentrated, so as to avoid the phenomenon of too small crystallization ratio or blockage. In the preheater, the temperature of the coal gas is raised from about 35 DEG C to about 45 DEG C by steam, and then enters the saturator. After heat exchange, the steam will form condensate and gather at the bottom of the preheater, and the condensate will be recovered and reused by the liquid withdrawal pipe (also known as the liquid discharge pipe). During the preheating process, the tar mist in the coal gas and the fixed ammonium salt in the condensate will form asphalt residue mixture, which will accumulate at the bottom of the preheater. When the liquid withdrawal pipe at the bottom of the preheater is withdrawn, the asphalt residue mixture will enter the liquid withdrawal pipe, causing the liquid withdrawal pipe to be blocked, the condensate return resistance to increase, and the normal operation of the ammonium sulfate production system to be affected. At the same time, frequent shutdown and disassembly of the liquid withdrawal pipe are required for dredging operation, which has large amount of residue removal engineering and long time consumption, and there is a certain safety risk in the residue removal operation in the limited space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present application, the specific implementation mode of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0015] For example, Figure 1As shown, a gas preheater anti-clogging pipeline for ammonium sulfate production includes a preheater. A main drain pipe 1 is vertically connected to the bottom of the preheater. A circular filter screen 2 with a downward angle is coaxially arranged in the inner cavity of the main drain pipe 1. A branch pipe 3 with a downward angle is connected to the side wall of the main drain pipe 1. The input end of the branch pipe 3 faces the inclined surface of the circular filter screen 2. A storage pipe 4 with a downward angle is vertically connected to the output end of the branch pipe 3. A first valve 5 is installed at the bottom end of the storage pipe 4. An overflow pipe 6 with a downward angle is connected between the storage pipe 4 and the main drain pipe 1. A filter cylinder 7 is installed at the input end of the overflow pipe 6. A circular washer 13 with a downward angle is coaxially fixed in the inner cavity of the main drain pipe 1. The circular filter screen 2 is placed on the circular washer 13. The installation tilt angle of the branch pipe 3 is the same as the installation tilt angle of the circular filter screen 2.
[0016] Specifically, the asphalt residue mixture carried in the recovered condensate can be filtered out by the circular filter screen 2 installed in the main discharge pipe 1 and discharged into the miscellaneous pipe 4.
[0017] In actual use, when the condensate generated after heat exchange in the preheater enters the main drain pipe 1, the circular filter screen 2, which is tilted downwards, filters out the larger volume of asphalt residue mixture carried in the condensate. The mixture then rolls smoothly into the branch pipe 3 and finally falls into the storage pipe 4 for temporary storage. The first valve 5 is opened periodically to discharge the asphalt residue mixture. Since the surface of the filtered asphalt residue mixture also carries a small amount of condensate, solid-liquid stratification occurs when the asphalt residue mixture accumulates in the storage pipe 4. When the separated condensate reaches a specified height, it flows back to the main drain pipe 1 through the overflow pipe 6, thereby improving the condensate recovery rate. The filter cylinder 7 prevents the asphalt residue mixture from clogging the overflow pipe 6. The circular filter screen 2 is placed on the circular gasket 13, so that the circular filter screen 2 can be quickly removed from the main drain pipe 1 when the preheater is shut down for maintenance. The installation tilt angle of the branch pipe 3 is the same as that of the circular filter screen 2, so that the filtered asphalt residue mixture can smoothly roll into the storage pipe 4 for temporary storage.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a gas preheater anti-clogging pipeline for ammonium sulfate production has a settling pipe 8 connected to the bottom end of the main settling pipe 1, a second valve 9 installed at the bottom end of the settling pipe 8, a guide pipe 10 connected to the top side wall of the settling pipe 8, the output end of the guide pipe 10 connected to the settling auxiliary pipe 11, the guide pipe 10 with an upward angle connected to the top side wall of the settling pipe 8, and a pipe sight glass 12 installed on both the storage pipe 4 and the settling pipe 8.
[0019] Specifically, the small volume residual asphalt residue mixture carried by the filtered condensate can be precipitated through the settling tube 8, thereby further improving the filtering effect of the asphalt residue mixture in the condensate.
[0020] In actual use, the filtered condensate flows into the settling tube 8, at this time, the small volume residual asphalt residue mixture carried by the condensate self-settles to the bottom of the settling tube 8 under the action of its own gravity, and the relatively pure condensate flows into the flow guide pipe 10 and is finally transported into the condensate return auxiliary pipe 11 and returned to the recovery system; when the residue is discharged periodically, the valve upstream of the condensate return main pipe 1 can be closed first, the second valve 9 is opened to discharge the precipitated asphalt residue mixture; the upwardly inclined flow guide pipe 10 makes the individual asphalt residue mixture entering the flow guide pipe 10 fall again into the settling tube 8 under the action of its own gravity, thereby further preventing the precipitated asphalt residue mixture from flowing into the condensate return auxiliary pipe 11; the quantity of the asphalt residue mixture accumulated in the storage pipe 4 and the settling tube 8 can be observed at any time through the pipe sight glass 12, so as to facilitate the staff to discharge the residue in time.
[0021] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
