Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil and gas treatment technology for asphalt tank tops, and specifically relates to an oil and gas separation and purification device for asphalt tank tops. Background Technology

[0002] Asphalt is a commonly used high-viscosity organic chemical material with a wide range of applications. Classified by type, asphalt can be divided into petroleum asphalt, coal tar pitch, and natural asphalt. During production and manufacturing, asphalt plants often generate large amounts of asphalt oil and gas containing fine tar particles due to heating. This oil and gas contains carbocyclic hydrocarbons and their derivatives.

[0003] The existing solution is to install a breather valve on the top of the asphalt tank. When the oil and gas pressure reaches 1 kPa, the gas is released into the atmosphere through the breather valve on the top of the asphalt tank. This not only pollutes the environment and causes the environmental protection indicators of the asphalt tank area to fail to meet the standards, but also endangers human health. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oil-gas separation and purification device for the top of an asphalt tank to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An oil-gas separation and purification device for an asphalt tank top includes an asphalt tank and a cover installed on top of the asphalt tank. It also includes a reaction mechanism, an ammonia water main pipe, a detection mechanism, a fuel gas conveying mechanism, a non-conforming gas conveying mechanism, and a fuel gas main pipe. A pressure guiding pipe I is installed on the cover, and a pressure transmitter I is installed at the top of the pressure guiding pipe I. The reaction mechanism includes an oil-gas pipe I, a blower, an oil-gas pipe II, and an ammonia water tank connected sequentially along the oil-gas conveying direction. The inlet end of the oil-gas pipe I is connected to the top of the cover. An electric shut-off valve I is installed on the oil-gas pipe I. The oil-gas pipe II passes through the ammonia water tank. An ammonia water pipe connects the ammonia water main pipe and the ammonia water tank. A drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the ammonia water tank. The pressure transmitter I, the blower, and the electric shut-off valve I are electrically connected to a DCS (Distributed Control System). A fuel gas pipe I is installed on the outer wall of the ammonia water tank. The outlet end of the fuel gas pipe I is connected to the detection mechanism, the fuel gas conveying mechanism, and the non-conforming gas conveying mechanism. The fuel gas conveying mechanism is also connected to the fuel gas main pipe.

[0007] To further realize this utility model, a shut-off valve I, an electric shut-off valve I, a shut-off valve II, a thermal resistor, and a pressure transmitter II are sequentially arranged along the oil and gas transport direction on the oil and gas pipeline I. A pressure guide pipe II is provided between the pressure transmitter II and the oil and gas pipeline I. The thermal resistor is used to detect the temperature of the oil and gas in the oil and gas pipeline I, and the pressure transmitter II is used to detect the pressure of the oil and gas in the oil and gas pipeline I. When the temperature or pressure exceeds the preset value, the thermal resistor or the pressure transmitter II sends a signal to the DCS. The DCS then cuts off the transport of oil and gas through the shut-off valve I and the standby shut-off valve II.

[0008] To further realize this utility model, the detection mechanism includes a sampling tube and a chromatograph. The inlet end of the sampling tube is connected to the fuel gas pipe I, and the outlet end is connected to the chromatograph. A pressure reducing valve is installed on the sampling tube.

[0009] To further realize this utility model, the fuel gas conveying mechanism includes a fuel gas pipe II, the inlet end of which is connected to the fuel gas pipe I, and the outlet end of which is connected to the fuel gas main pipe. A shut-off valve III, a pneumatic regulating valve I, an electric shut-off valve II, and a one-way valve I are sequentially arranged on the fuel gas pipe II along the gas flow direction. The electric shut-off valve II is electrically connected to the DCS.

[0010] To further realize this utility model, the defective gas conveying mechanism includes a defective pipe, the inlet end of which is connected to fuel gas pipe I, the inlet end of which is located between shut-off valve II and thermal resistor, the outlet end of which is connected to oil and gas pipe I, and a shut-off valve IV, a cut-off valve III, a pneumatic regulating valve II and a one-way valve II are sequentially arranged on the defective pipe along the gas conveying direction.

[0011] To further realize this utility model, a shut-off valve V, a pneumatic regulating valve III, and a one-way valve III are sequentially installed on the ammonia water pipe along the ammonia water delivery direction. The pneumatic regulating valve III is used to regulate the water flow rate into the ammonia water tank.

[0012] To further realize this utility model, a drain valve is provided on the drain pipe.

[0013] To further realize this utility model, the distance between the insertion end of the oil and gas pipe II and the bottom surface of the ammonia tank is no more than 350mm.

[0014] To further realize this utility model, a level gauge is installed inside the ammonia tank. The level gauge is a magnetostrictive level gauge and is electrically connected to the DCS.

[0015] To further realize this utility model, the shut-off valve I, shut-off valve II, pressure reducing valve, shut-off valve III, pneumatic regulating valve I, shut-off valve IV, cut-off valve III, pneumatic regulating valve II, shut-off valve V, pneumatic regulating valve III and drain valve are all electric and are electrically connected to the DCS respectively. The thermal resistance and pressure transmitter II are electrically connected to the DCS respectively.

[0016] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes ammonia water in an ammonia tank to wash away the oil and gas on the top of an asphalt tank, achieving oil and gas separation and purification. Maintenance personnel only need to add an oil and gas pipe (I) and an ammonia tank connected to it to the top of the asphalt tank. Oil and gas pipe I is connected to the inlet of a blower (a Roots booster blower is selected). The outlet of the blower is connected to oil and gas pipe (II). The bottom end of oil and gas pipe (II) extends into the ammonia tank, with a distance of no more than 350mm from the bottom of the tank. The ammonia water in the tank then separates the oil and gas from the asphalt tank extracted by the blower. The purified fuel gas can then enter through fuel gas pipe (II). The fuel gas is fed into the main fuel gas pipe to supply fuel to the burners of the heating furnace. A chromatograph is installed at the outlet of fuel gas pipe I. If the composition of the components analyzed by the chromatograph is unqualified, fuel gas pipe II must be shut off and the ammonia in the ammonia tank replaced. At this time, the Roots booster blower is stopped remotely via DCS, the electric shut-off valve I is closed, the drain pipe is opened and closed after the ammonia is drained, and then the ammonia tank is filled with ammonia. After the ammonia is replaced, the ammonia pipe is closed, the electric shut-off valve I and the unqualified pipe are opened, and after the chromatograph analyzes the composition and it is qualified, the unqualified pipe is closed and fuel gas pipe II is opened to continue operation.

[0018] In this invention, the control signals of pressure transmitter I, Roots booster blower, and electric shut-off valve I are connected to the DCS system. The interlocking function is realized through the DCS program. When the pressure of pressure transmitter I reaches 1.2 kPa, electric shut-off valve I opens. After electric shut-off valve I is fully open, Roots booster blower starts automatically to extract the oil and gas accumulated on the top of the asphalt tank for water washing and purification. When the pressure reaches 0.85 kPa, Roots booster blower stops pumping air.

[0019] This utility model is simple to install and operate, reliable in use, and ensures the pass rate of oil-gas separation and purification on the top of the asphalt tank. It provides qualified and pure fuel gas for the burner of the heating furnace, which not only protects the environment but also saves the company's production costs, achieving a win-win situation for both economic and environmental benefits.

A pressure guide pipe II19 is installed between the pressure transmitter II18 and the oil and gas pipe I7. The oil and gas pipe II9 passes through the ammonia tank 10. The distance between the inlet end of the oil and gas pipe II9 and the bottom surface of the ammonia tank 10 is... The ammonia water main pipe 3 is connected to the ammonia water tank 10 by an ammonia water pipe 12 with a diameter not exceeding 350mm. A level gauge 37 is installed in the ammonia water tank 10.

[0025] A fuel gas pipe I14 is installed on the outer wall of the ammonia tank 10. The outlet end of the fuel gas pipe I14 is connected to the detection mechanism, the fuel gas conveying mechanism and the unqualified gas conveying mechanism respectively. The fuel gas conveying mechanism is also connected to the fuel gas main pipe 4.

[0026] The testing mechanism includes a sampling tube 20 and a chromatograph 21. The inlet end of the sampling tube 20 is connected to the fuel gas pipe I14, and the outlet end is connected to the chromatograph 21. A pressure reducing valve 22 is installed on the sampling tube 20.

[0027] The fuel gas delivery mechanism includes fuel gas pipe II 23. The inlet end of fuel gas pipe II 23 is connected to fuel gas pipe I 14, and the outlet end is connected to fuel gas main pipe 4.
