Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a feeding system for an oil removal furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Waste catalysts from residual oil hydrotreating typically contain various valuable metals, such as molybdenum, tungsten, nickel, cobalt, and vanadium, which have high economic value. At the same time, they often contain harmful substances such as heavy metals and sulfides. Therefore, the treatment and recycling of waste catalysts from residual oil hydrotreating is of significant economic and environmental importance.
[0003] Currently, most spent catalysts from residual oil hydrotreating are processed using deoiling furnaces, typically fed directly into the furnace via a bucket elevator. However, directly feeding spent catalysts into the deoiling furnace results in coking lumps that cause large particle sizes in the deoiled material at the furnace outlet, preventing it from directly entering the next process. Furthermore, the ceramic balls within the catalyst can easily damage the grate bars of the deoiling furnace.
[0004] How to provide a feeding system for an oil removal furnace that reduces the particle size of the oil removal material at the furnace outlet and prevents ceramic balls from damaging the grate is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 8 This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil removal furnace feeding system, comprising: a storage hopper 1, an opening and closing component 2 for adjusting the opening and closing degree of the storage hopper 1's discharge port, a filter device 3 below the discharge port of the storage hopper 1, a screen assembly 4 on the filter device 3, the screen assembly 4 including a third layer screen 403, the bottom surface of the third layer screen 403 having multiple rectangular holes of preset size, a fourth discharge port 8 on the filter device 3, the bottom surface of the third layer screen 403 being connected to a conveying device 9 through the fourth discharge port 8, and the conveying device 9 being connected to a distributor 10.
[0032] Specifically, firstly, the operator controls the opening and closing component 2 to discharge the material in the storage hopper 1 towards its outlet. Then, the material passes through the filter device 3, and then through the third screen 403 on the screen assembly 4, removing coke lumps and ceramic balls. Next, the material is transferred to the conveyor device 9 through the fourth discharge port 8, which transports the material to the distributor 10. Finally, the distributor 10 conveys the material to the feed hopper of the deoiling furnace. Because the third screen 403 on the filter device 3 filters out coke lumps and ceramic balls from the material, the remaining material entering the feed hopper of the deoiling furnace will not result in large particle sizes in the deoiled material. The deoiled material can directly proceed to the next process, improving the treatment efficiency of the waste catalyst from the hydrogenation of residual oil. Furthermore, the grate plates in the deoiling furnace will not be impacted by the ceramic balls, thus protecting the deoiling furnace.
[0033] The opening and closing mechanism 2 can be manual, electric, or pneumatic. Preferably, the opening and closing mechanism 2 is a bar valve, a gate valve, or other valve suitable for conveying granular materials. The discharge port of the storage hopper 1 and the inlet of the filter device 3 are positioned correspondingly, but there is a gap between them, and they are not connected.
[0034] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the screen assembly 4 further includes a first screen 401 and a second screen 402. The bottom surface of the first screen 401 has a plurality of evenly arranged circular holes with a diameter of 20 mm. The bottom surface of the second screen 402 has a plurality of evenly arranged circular holes with a diameter of 5 mm. The bottom surface of the third screen 403 has a preset size of 3 mm * 10 mm for the rectangular holes.
[0035] The spent catalyst from the hydrotreating of residual oil contains coke lumps with a maximum size of 30mm-80mm, ceramic balls with a diameter of 16mm or more, and ceramic balls with a diameter of 5mm or more. The remaining particles are 1mm in diameter and 3mm in length. In production, only the 1mm diameter and 3mm length particles can enter the deoiling furnace; the rest need to be discarded. The material is filtered by filter device 3, which filters and removes the coke lumps and ceramic balls, while retaining the 1mm diameter and 3mm length particles. This also sorts the coke lumps and ceramic balls for subsequent processing. It should be noted that filter device 3 is preferably a vibrating screen, drum screen, or gyratory screen.
[0036] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the filter device 3 is further provided with a first discharge port 5, a second discharge port 6 and a third discharge port 7. The first discharge port 6 is connected to the side wall of the first layer screen 401, the second discharge port 6 is connected to the side wall of the second layer screen 402, and the third discharge port 7 is connected to the side wall of the third layer screen 403.
[0037] Specifically, after being vibrated by the vibrating screen, the material passes through the screen assembly 4. The first discharge port 5 is used to discharge coking blocks with the longest dimension of 30 mm - 80 mm, the second discharge port 6 is used to discharge porcelain balls with a diameter greater than or equal to 16 mm, the third discharge port 7 is used to discharge porcelain balls with a diameter greater than or equal to 5 mm, and the fourth discharge port 8 is used to discharge particles with a diameter of 1 mm and a length of 3 mm. It should be noted that the first discharge port 5, the second discharge port 6, and the third discharge port 7 are respectively connected with aggregate bins, and the aggregate bins are used to store the filtered materials.
[0038] Refer to Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the distributor 10 is a three-way pipe. The distributor 10 includes an upper main pipe 1001, a first lower branch pipe 1002, and a second lower branch pipe 1003. The top surface of the upper main pipe 1001 has an inclined surface 11, and the included angle between the inclined surface 11 and the through direction of the upper main pipe 1001 is 60 degrees. The first lower branch pipe 1002 and the second lower branch pipe 1003 are arranged at the lower end of the upper main pipe 1001 by welding.
[0039] Among them, directly pouring the residue hydrotreating spent catalyst into the deoiling furnace feed bin 18 by the conventional bucket conveyor 902 will cause uneven distribution of the residue hydrotreating spent catalyst in the grate of the deoiling furnace, with a large difference in the ablation rate between the thin and thick parts, affecting the subsequent process. After adding the distributor 10, the residue hydrotreating spent catalyst enters from the upper main pipe 1001, flows through the first lower branch pipe 1002 and the second lower branch pipe 1003 respectively, and then enters the deoiling furnace feed bin 18. Furthermore, it reduces the thickness deviation of the material falling on the grate of the deoiling furnace, so that the grate of the deoiling furnace can burn it. An operation platform 19 is arranged above the installation position of the distributor 10, and the operation platform 19 is used for arranging the pyrotechnic pipe.
[0040] In some embodiments, the conveying device 9 includes a hoist 901, and the hoist 901 is used to convey the material discharged from the fourth discharge port 8 to the distributor 10. Further, a sealing seat 12 is arranged at the bottom of the hoist 901.
[0041] Among them, the installation pit at the bottom of the hoist 901 is lined with steel plates, brickwork or cement masonry to effectively prevent the leakage of materials, and the setting of the sealing seat 12 can further prevent the leakage of material dust. Preferably, the hoist 901 adopts a bucket elevator 901, and the model is NE series bucket elevator 901.
[0042] In some embodiments, the conveying device 9 further includes a conveyor 902, and the conveyor 902 is used to transfer the material conveyed by the hoist 901 to the distributor 10. Further, a sealing cover plate 13 and a sealing rubber strip 14 are arranged on the conveyor 902, and the sealing cover plate 13 and the sealing rubber strip 14 are used to prevent the leakage of materials. A support frame 17 is arranged below the conveyor 902, and the height of the support frame 17 is adjustable.
[0043] Both the sealing cover plate 13 and the sealing strip 14 are made of rubber, preferably oil-resistant rubber. Preferably, the conveyor 902 is a scraper conveyor 902, specifically an FU series scraper conveyor 902.
[0044] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the storage hopper 1 is provided with a drive component 15 and a storage support 16. The drive component 15 is used to control the opening and closing component 2, and the storage support 16 is used to support the storage hopper 1.
[0045] The height of the storage hopper 1 supported by the storage bracket shall not exceed the maximum working height of the zero-load loader. The drive unit 15 can control the opening and closing degree of the bar valve, and the drive unit 15 is preferably an electric hydraulic press.
[0046] Work process
[0047] First, workers use a forklift to load the spent hydrogenation catalyst from the residual oil into storage hopper 1. They then operate an electric hydraulic press to control the opening and closing of the bar valve. The spent hydrogenation catalyst is discharged from the outlet of storage hopper 1 and enters the inlet of a vibrating screen. After being vibrated by the vibrating screen and filtered by the screen assembly 4, the first discharge port 5 discharges coke lumps with a maximum size of 30mm-80mm, the second discharge port 6 discharges ceramic balls with a diameter of 16mm or more, and the third discharge port 7 discharges ceramic balls with a diameter of 5mm or more. The discharged coke lumps and ceramic balls enter the collection box respectively. Secondly, particles with a diameter of 1mm and a length of 3mm discharged from the fourth discharge port 8 enter the feed port of the bucket elevator 901. The bucket elevator 901 conveys the particles vertically upwards. The particles pass through the discharge port of the bucket elevator 901 and enter the scraper conveyor 902. The scraper conveyor 902 conveys the particles horizontally to the distributor 10. After passing through the upper main pipe 1001, the particles flow through the first lower branch pipe 1002 and the second lower branch pipe 1003 respectively. Finally, the particles are evenly fed into the oil removal furnace feed hopper 18.
