DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] Reference Figure 1 A continuous reforming device heating furnace flue gas waste heat recovery system, comprising a heating furnace 6 and air pipe and fuel gas pipe connected with the heating furnace 6. The heating furnace 6 of the continuous reforming device can adopt a four-in-one furnace, the heating furnace 6 is provided with at least one burner 61, the heating furnace 6 is connected with a chimney 7, and the burner 61 is connected with the air pipe and the fuel gas pipe. The chimney 7 is provided with a sealing baffle 71 for controlling the flow of flue gas in the chimney 7, and the sealing baffle 71 can be opened or closed to control whether the flue gas can pass through the sealing baffle 71. The sealing baffle 71 can adopt the form of a valve plate. When the sealing baffle 71 is closed, the flue gas cannot pass through the sealing baffle 71. Rotating the sealing baffle 71 to open the sealing baffle 71, the flue gas can pass through the sealing baffle 71. The chimney section 7 at the front end of the sealing baffle 71 is connected with one end of a flue gas outlet pipe 8, and the other end of the flue gas outlet pipe 8 is connected with the chimney 7 section at the rear end of the sealing baffle 71. The flue gas outlet pipe 8 is equivalent to a bypass of the sealing baffle 71. In the utility model, the flow direction of the flue gas in the chimney 7 and the pipe and the flow direction of the air and the fuel gas in the pipe are all from front to back. The front end and the rear end of the sealing baffle 71 are based on the flow direction of the flue gas. The air preheater 9 and the induced draft fan 10 are arranged in sequence on the flue gas outlet pipe 8 along the flow direction of the flue gas. The air preheater 9 is used for preheating the air entering the burner 61. The air pipe comprises an air delivery pipe 11 connected to the burner 61 of the heating furnace 6 to provide combustion air for the burner 61. The air delivery pipe 11 is connected with the air inlet and outlet of the air preheater 9, and the flue gas is connected with the flue gas inlet and outlet of the air preheater 9. The principle of the air preheater 9 is a heat exchanger. The air and the flue gas exchange heat in the air preheater 9. The air absorbs the heat in the flue gas and is heated, and the heat of the flue gas is absorbed and cooled. The induced draft fan 10 is arranged at the rear end of the air preheater 9. The cooled flue gas enters the induced draft fan 10 to protect the induced draft fan 10 to a certain extent. The air suction port 12 is arranged at the air inlet end of the air delivery pipe 11. The air blower 13 is arranged on the air delivery pipe 11 between the air suction port 12 and the air preheater 9. The air blower 13 is arranged at the front end of the air preheater 9. The normal temperature air enters the air blower 13 to protect the air blower 13. For example, Figure 1As shown, the air supply pipe 11 is provided with an air bypass pipe 111 connected in parallel with the air preheater 9, so that air can enter the burner 61 directly without passing through the air preheater 9.
[0014] Reference Figure 1 The fuel gas for the heating furnace 6 includes overhead gas from the butane removal tower, which contains impurities such as H2S, NH3, and HCl. The fuel gas pipeline includes a chlorinated fuel gas inlet pipe 1 that transports chlorinated fuel gas from the butane removal tower. The chlorinated fuel gas inlet pipe 1 is connected to the inlet of a fuel gas dechlorinator 2 for dechlorination. The outlet of the fuel gas dechlorinator 2 is connected to a dechlorinated fuel gas delivery pipe 3. The fuel gas dechlorinator 2 is filled with packing material capable of adsorbing and removing chlorine-containing impurities, such as activated alumina packing. The dechlorinated fuel gas delivery pipe 3 is equipped with a supplementary fuel gas inlet pipe 31 and a fuel gas separator 4 arranged sequentially along the fuel gas flow direction. Fuel gas heat exchanger 5, fuel gas branch pipe 32, and supplementary fuel gas supply pipe 31 are used to introduce high-pressure gas to supplement fuel for heating furnace 6. The pressure of the high-pressure gas is higher than the pressure of the fuel gas discharged from fuel gas dechlorinator 2. Fuel gas separator 4 removes liquid droplets from the fuel gas. Fuel gas heat exchanger 5 is used to heat the fuel gas, increasing the temperature of the fuel gas entering burner 61, thereby improving combustion efficiency and furnace temperature. The heating medium of fuel gas heat exchanger 5 can be steam or waste heat from the device. Part of the heated fuel gas enters burner 61 through fuel gas branch pipe 32, and the remaining fuel gas is used as fuel for other furnaces; such as Figure 1 As shown, a fuel gas bypass pipe 101 is provided on the chlorinated fuel gas inlet pipe 1 and is connected in parallel with the fuel gas dechlorinator 2. One end of the fuel gas bypass pipe 101 is connected to the chlorinated fuel gas inlet pipe 1 and the other end is connected to the dechlorinated fuel gas delivery pipe 3. The fuel gas in the chlorinated fuel gas inlet pipe 1 can directly enter the dechlorinated fuel gas delivery pipe 3 without passing through the fuel gas dechlorinator 2.
[0015] It should be noted that the actual furnace body is also equipped with accessories such as thermometers and inspection ports, and the tank body is also equipped with accessories such as instruments, valves, and inspection ports. The pipeline is also equipped with valves such as control valves, regulating valves, and check valves, as well as other accessories such as detection instruments. This is a standard feature in this field and is not shown in the accompanying drawings or text.
[0016] Working Principle: During the ignition stage, the overhead gas from the butane removal tower of the continuous reforming unit enters the chlorinated fuel gas inlet pipe 1. The overhead gas contains impurities such as H2S, NH3, and HCl. The chlorinated fuel gas enters the fuel gas dechlorinator 2 to remove impurities such as HCl. The dechlorinated fuel gas then enters the dechlorinated fuel gas delivery pipe 3. A portion of the fuel gas also enters the dechlorinated fuel gas delivery pipe 3 via the supplementary fuel gas inlet pipe 31. The fuel gas then passes sequentially through the fuel gas separator 4 and the fuel gas heat exchanger 5. The fuel gas separator 4 removes liquid droplets from the fuel gas, and the fuel gas heat exchanger 5 heats the fuel gas to approximately 150°C. A portion of the fuel gas enters the burner 61 of the heater 6 via the fuel gas branch pipe 32. The dechlorination treatment of the chlorinated fuel gas prevents salt precipitation in the heater 6 and flue gas. To reduce the frequency of shutdowns and maintenance and ensure the normal operation of the equipment, blower 13 is turned on to send combustion air into burner 61 through air delivery pipe 11. The furnace temperature of furnace 6 and the temperature of exhaust gas gradually increase. The sealing baffle 71 is closed and induced draft fan 10 is turned on to extract the flue gas from chimney 7 through flue gas outlet pipe 8. The flue gas is heated by air preheater 9. After the flue gas releases heat, its temperature decreases. The temperature of the air after heat exchange in air preheater 9 rises to about 130°C before entering burner 61. This helps to improve combustion efficiency and furnace temperature and save energy. The temperature of the flue gas after cooling by air preheater 9 drops to about 80°C and is then sent to the chimney 7 section behind sealing baffle 71 through flue gas outlet pipe 8 for discharge. The waste heat in the flue gas is recovered and utilized.
[0017] The waste heat recovery system of the continuous reforming furnace of this utility model utilizes the waste heat in the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the furnace to preheat the combustion air, realizing the recovery and utilization of heat in the flue gas. The preheated air enters the burner for combustion, which can improve the combustion effect and save energy. The chlorine-containing fuel gas is treated by the fuel gas dechlorinator before entering the burner for combustion, which can avoid salt precipitation in the furnace and flue and blockage caused by salt precipitation, so as to ensure the stable operation of the furnace and reduce safety risks and environmental pollution.
