Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of delayed coking equipment technology, and in particular to a venting tower for a delayed coking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The venting system of the delayed coking unit adopts closed-loop in-tower contact cooling technology to handle the high-temperature steam generated during the large-volume blowing and water supply operation stages of the coke tower during the coking process, and to recover some of the oil and gas carried by the high-temperature steam.
[0003] Traditional venting towers employ multi-layer herringbone trays for mass and heat transfer. While herringbone trays can promote gas-liquid contact to some extent, this structure has limitations when handling high-temperature steam containing a large amount of solid particles (such as coke powder); for example:
[0004] Poor washing effect on coke powder: Due to the presence of solid particles such as coke powder, the herringbone baffle cannot effectively wash the coke powder, which makes the equipment in the subsequent process easily contaminated.
[0005] Structural fragility: When encountering high-velocity steam flow, especially at speeds of 70-80 m / s, the herringbone baffle is easily detached due to physical impact. This not only disrupts the original mass and heat transfer path but may also lead to more serious system failures.
[0006] Based on the above problems, we propose a venting tower for delayed coking units that can be used for high-temperature steam treatment containing a large number of solid particles and oil and gas, and can be used for the refining and processing of low-quality heavy oil and residual oil.

A grid distributor is provided in the inner cavity of the tower body at a position corresponding to the feed inlet and the reflux inlet.
[0010] The grid distributor includes several corrugated plates connected in sequence, and there are several vertically inclined channels between two adjacent corrugated plates.
[0011] Furthermore, the corrugated plate has a number of through holes evenly distributed on its surface.
[0012] Furthermore, the grid distributor is stacked in multiple layers from bottom to top.
[0013] Furthermore, adjacent grid distributors are staggered in the horizontal direction.
[0014] Furthermore, the stagger angle between two adjacent grid distributors is 45° or 90°.
[0015] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the tower is also provided with a support grid for supporting the bottom of the grid distributor.
[0016] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the tower is also provided with a pressing grid for pressing the top of the grid distributor.
[0017] Furthermore, the tower body cavity contains only one layer of grid distributor, and the vertical width of the corrugated plate is 1400~1600mm.
[0018] Furthermore, multiple layers of grid distributors are stacked sequentially from bottom to top in the inner cavity of the tower, and the vertical width of the corrugated plate is 90~200mm.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. The grid distributor, which consists of multiple corrugated plates connected in sequence and having vertically inclined channels, not only increases the gas-liquid contact area, but also effectively prevents the deposition and clogging of solid particles, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency.
[0021] 2. The corrugated plate has a design with several through holes, which allows adjacent channels to be interconnected, helping to better disperse and wash coke powder and reduce its impact on subsequent processes.
[0022] 3. The grid distributor in this utility model is composed of multiple corrugated plates, which are firmly connected by welding. At the same time, a supporting grid is provided at the bottom and a pressing grid is provided at the top, which greatly improves the stability and durability of the entire structure and can withstand higher impact forces without being easily damaged.
