[0030] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the flow rate of the circulating water in the shell is 30 m³ / h.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a filter screen is arranged at the pipeline inlet, and the filter screen is detachably arranged at the pipeline inlet.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the circulating water heat exchange mechanism comprises a plate-tower heat exchanger 8 for heat exchange between hot water and soybeans, the plate-tower heat exchanger has the same size as the conditioning tower, and the length and width are both 3.3 m; the single-layer plate-tower heat exchanger has a height of 1 m and an area of 400 m².

[0033] The plate-tower heat exchanger 4 has a height of 1 m and is arranged in the same direction from top to bottom.

[0034] The plate-tower heat exchanger is made of SS304 stainless steel sheets, the thickness of the sheets is 1.5 mm, and the pressure resistance level is 16 bar.

[0035] The plate-tower heat exchanger further comprises a soybean buffer protection mechanism, the soybean buffer protection mechanism comprises a flexible medium, and the flexible medium is arranged at the top sheet feeding position and welded to the sheet.

[0036] The circulating water heat exchange mechanism comprises a tube-type heat exchanger, the tube-type heat exchanger is provided with the peculiar smell capturing water and clean water to exchange heat energy between the peculiar smell capturing water and the clean water, and the clean water output end of the tube-type heat exchanger is connected with a conditioning tower.

[0037] The tube-type heat exchanger is made of SS304 stainless steel, the thickness of the tube-type heat exchanger is 1.5 mm, and the pressure resistance level is 6 bar.

[0038] The tube-type heat exchanger is two sets of horizontal arrangement.

[0039] In the working process,

[0040] Implementation: The residual heat energy in the 72°C hot air after the first layer of waste gas from the DC cooling dryer is recovered through heat energy recovery and automatic spray cleaning and deodorization is recovered through circulating water heat exchange to heat the soybeans in the conditioning tower.

[0041] Implementation: 1. The original hot air is captured by water, and the odor capturing water (water temperature 58 degrees) is overflowed to the water seal tank.

[0042] 2. In order to utilize the heat in the 58-degree odor capturing water, two condensers (shell side circulating water heat absorption, tube side 58-degree water) are added to absorb the heat of the 58-degree odor capturing water. After the circulating water absorbs heat, it enters the newly added plate tower to heat the conditioning tower. Note: The odor capturing water goes through the tube side because it contains a small amount of protein meal foam, which is not easy to block and is easy to clean and maintain.

[0043] Equipment optimization scheme

[0044] Heat exchanger size and area Material balance and heat balance calculations. During the second process optimization, the 5-layer conditioning tower was changed to condensing water circulation heating. In order to ensure the conditioning effect, it is not appropriate to continue to change too many layers of the conditioning tower steam heating to circulating water heating. Therefore, a plate tower heat exchanger for hot water and soybean heat exchange needs to be added. Generally, the added part is installed directly between the original first layer of the conditioning tower and the feed hopper. The length and width dimensions are the same as the original conditioning tower, both 3.3m. The single-layer plate tower heat exchanger is designed to be 1m in size and 400 in area, with a much higher heat exchange efficiency than the original tubular conditioning heat exchanger. Considering that there is only 2 meters of remaining height available at the top of the original conditioning tower, two layers of 1m plate tower heat exchanger are selected, with a total heat exchange area of 800㎡.

[0045] Heat exchanger material and thickness To avoid corrosion, SS304 stainless steel sheets are selected. The sheet thickness is 1.2, 1.5mm, in order to improve the service life of the heat exchanger and avoid water leakage due to welding or soybean erosion, 1.5mm thick sheets are selected, with a design pressure rating of 16bar.

[0046] Heat exchanger arrangement Arranged between the first layer of the original conditioning tower and the feed hopper, the feed hopper is moved up 2 meters to create space.

[0047] In order to avoid the middle of the plate tower heat exchanger being blocked by large pieces of material such as bean rods, the newly added two layers of plate tower heat exchanger sheets are arranged in the same direction from top to bottom. At the same time, considering the uniform heating of soybeans, the sheet direction is staggered with the original first layer of tube direction.

[0048] In order to avoid the plate being eroded and damaged by soybeans, a soybean buffer and protection device is installed at the top of the plate and the plate welding.

[0049] The original tempering tower foundation consisted of I-beams at the bottom of the tower bolted to I-beam columns. According to the design institute's calculations, these bolts were insufficient to meet the load requirements of the two additional floors under full-load production. Therefore, the original foundation was reinforced and upgraded in accordance with design standards.

[0050] Optimization scheme for shell and tube heat exchangers

[0051] The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is the core equipment in this optimization step. The key aspects of its selection and design lie in the heat exchanger's safety, corrosion, scaling, and contamination; its size, area, and flow rate; its material, thickness, and pressure resistance; and its arrangement. Specific optimization schemes are shown in the table below:

[0052] Equipment optimization plan

[0053] Safety concerns, corrosion, scaling, and pollution are present in the circulating water collected after the first-stage waste gas heat recovery process at the DC plant. This circulating water contains solvents and impurities. To prevent the collected water from directly entering the pretreatment workshop, which could lead to safety issues, corrosion of pipes and equipment, and scaling, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger is installed in the middle. Clean circulating water is used as a medium to absorb the heat from the collected water and then heat the conditioned soybeans.

[0054] Material and heat balance calculations should be performed for the size, area, and flow rate of the heat exchanger. While ensuring heat exchange efficiency, investment should be appropriately controlled. A DC first-stage waste gas heat recovery and subsequent capture circulating water-circulating water heat exchanger with an area of ​​220㎡ should be selected. Based on the flow rate and heat capacity of the tube-side capture circulating water, the shell-side circulating water flow rate should be determined to be 30m³ / h.

[0055] To avoid corrosion from solvents and water, and to prevent clogging and facilitate cleaning and maintenance, an SS304 all-stainless steel shell-and-tube heat exchanger was selected, including the shell, tube sheet, baffles, tubes, and end caps. A 1.5 mm thick tube was chosen to extend the heat exchanger's service life. The pressure rating is 6 bar.

[0056] The layout of the heat exchanger system should prioritize proximity to the original heat exchange medium, reduce the length of inlet and outlet pipes, facilitate operation, cleaning and maintenance, and meet safety requirements.

[0057] On the east side of the second floor of the leaching workshop, near the DC (Discharge Center), the first-floor exhaust gas heat recovery heat exchanger is placed. To reduce space occupation, the two heat exchangers are arranged horizontally, one above the other.

[0058] Although some preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0059] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
