Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil shale graded dry distillation technology, and more specifically, to a circulating gas mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the Fushun-style graded shale retorting process, the hot generated gas from the gasification reaction in the gasification section of the retorting furnace and the hot circulating gas from the heating furnace are the two heat sources and heat carriers for shale retorting in the retorting section. The hot circulating gas needs to reach an average temperature of over 850℃ to ensure that it can supply heat to the retorting furnace in the low-temperature section to meet the production requirements of shale retorting. Often, after a period of operation, the prolonged high temperature causes severe coking in the flues, clogging pipelines, reducing the overall circulating gas flow rate, and decreasing the stability of the hot circulating gas system, resulting in uneven heating. Therefore, we propose a circulating gas mixing device. Utility Model Content

[0029] In this embodiment, the gas mixing tank 6 is supported by the support base 24.
[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The gas mixing tank 6 is constructed from low-creep clay bricks 25, lightweight high-alumina bricks 26 and lightweight clay bricks 27, and the outside of the gas mixing tank 6 is coated with acid-resistant spray paint 28.
[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the dry distillation furnace body 1 is provided with a dry distillation furnace water basin 20, and the top of the dry distillation furnace body 1 is provided with a feed hopper 21.
[0032] In this embodiment, the shale slag is cooled by the water basin 20 of the dry distillation furnace, and the finished shale is put into the dry distillation furnace body 1 through the feed hopper 21.
[0033] Working principle: In operation, the gas conveyor 4 is first started to introduce gas from the first pipe 22 and the second pipe 23 into the gas saturation tower 3. The cold circulating gas is saturated in the gas saturation tower 3. Part of the saturated gas is then transported to the gas mixing tank 6 through the third pipe 8, while the other part is introduced into the heating furnace 2 through the fourth pipe 9. The heating furnace 2 heats the gas, and the heated gas enters the gas mixing tank 6 through the fifth pipe 7, allowing the heated and unheated gas to mix. Simultaneously, the servo motor 17 is started to drive the rotating rod 18 and the stirring plate 19 to rotate. The stirring plate 19 agitates the gas entering the gas mixing tank 6, ensuring... To ensure the quality of gas mixing, the mixed gas is introduced into the pyrolysis furnace 1 through the sixth pipe 5, providing a heat source for shale pyrolysis in the pyrolysis furnace 1. In addition, the temperature of the gas entering the pyrolysis furnace 1 from the sixth pipe 5 is monitored in real time using the third temperature detector 15. At the same time, the opening of the first electric regulating valve 10 on the fourth pipe 9 and the second electric regulating valve 11 on the third pipe 8 are controlled to regulate the amount of gas entering the heating furnace 2 for heating and the amount of gas directly entering the gas mixing tank 6 for mixing. This allows for the regulation of the temperature of the mixed gas in the gas mixing tank 6, stabilizing the temperature fluctuation of the hot circulating gas, alleviating coking in the hot gas pipeline, stabilizing the heating supply of the pyrolysis furnace, and achieving stable shale oil production.
[0034] Through the modification of the gas mixing system, the high temperature of the gas mixing tank 6 can be stably controlled according to production conditions, and the outlet temperature of the manifold decreases steadily. After the modification, the maximum flow rate of cold gas increased from 14,000 m³ / h. 3 / h increased to 31000m 3 / h, minimum flow rate from 2000m 3 / h increased to 5000m 3The system reduces the maximum temperature of circulating gas entering the pyrolysis furnace 1 to below 820℃, alleviating coking and blockage in the fire channel and extending the operating cycle of the staged pyrolysis unit. Automatic regulation of the gas flow rate via the first electric regulating valve 10 and the second electric regulating valve 11 ensures that the temperature difference between the high and low temperatures of the circulating gas entering the pyrolysis furnace 1 is within 200℃, which is beneficial for the stability of the fire layer in the pyrolysis furnace 1, increasing shale oil production, improving the heating capacity and pyrolysis efficiency of the pyrolysis furnace 1, and maximizing the release of hydrocarbons from the oil shale. Calculations show that the unit can increase daily production by 0.8 tons, and based on 350 operating days per year, this translates to an annual increase of 280 tons of shale oil production, generating a profit of 720,700 yuan.
