Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to urea production system technical field, specifically a two section evaporation separator used in urea system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of urea, the liquid urea of the front-end process is separated from the unreacted carbon dioxide and ammonia gas in the flash and true flash, and then is dehydrated by the first evaporation separator and the second evaporation separator, so as to finally concentrate the urea into 99.0% molten urea solution, which is then pumped to the top of the prilling tower by the melting pump, and the qualified urea particles are obtained at the bottom of the tower after prilling. In the above process of producing urea, by-product biuret which affects the quality of urea is produced. According to research, the factors affecting the generation rate of biuret are temperature, liquid urea concentration, ammonia partial pressure, etc. Since the temperature is high and the concentration of urea is high and the ammonia partial pressure is low in the process of the second evaporation separator, biuret will inevitably be produced in this process. Therefore, as the production continues, these biuret will accumulate and agglomerate at the top of the second evaporation separator, and will fall off when it accumulates to a certain extent, falling into the urea below, directly leading to the biuret exceeding the standard in the urea product, and the agglomerates may block the urea outlet, affecting the operation of the melting pump of the subsequent equipment and causing production downtime for maintenance.

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, some enterprises set up a flushing pipeline to realize the timed flushing of the position where biuret is easy to accumulate. For example, the utility model patent No. CN201220010806.5, named flushing device for second evaporation separator in urea production system, discloses a circular flushing water pipe, a longitudinal flushing water pipe, a transverse flushing water pipe and an arc flushing water pipe. The timed flushing of the above four flushing water pipes can effectively prevent the accumulation of biuret. The above method can solve the problem of biuret accumulation, but frequent flushing will increase the production energy consumption, and the biuret solids flushed out still have the defect of easy blockage of the pipeline, and will cause fluctuations in the production system.
