[0002] The ADHO alkane dehydrogenation technology primarily consists of a fluidized bed reaction regeneration system and a cryogenic separation system. The reaction regeneration section includes a reaction regeneration system, main air and flue gas energy recovery, a feedstock preheater, a steam generation system, and a fuel supply system. The separation system includes a water washing tower, a gas compressor system, a cold box system, an ethane removal tower, a propane / propylene separation tower, and a feedstock purification system. Both the fluidized bed reaction regeneration system and the cryogenic separation system are mature technologies.

[0003] Currently, existing propane dehydrogenation separation towers typically have auxiliary climbing ladders added to their outer walls to facilitate routine maintenance. These auxiliary climbing ladders are constructed by combining spiral steps with maintenance platforms. However, their coverage area is limited, making it difficult to completely cover the outer wall of the tower. Furthermore, these auxiliary climbing ladders are essentially idle when not being maintained, resulting in very low usage frequency. Therefore, we propose a novel propane dehydrogenation separation tower. Utility Model Content

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a novel propane dehydrogenation separation tower technical solution: including a tower body 1, a lifting ring 6, and a moving platform 11. A top plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the tower body 1, and lifting devices 4 are provided at both ends of the top of the top plate 3. The lifting ring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the tower body 1. Extension blocks 10 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the lifting ring 6. The lifting devices 4 are fixedly connected to the extension blocks 10 through a sling 5. A gear groove 7 is opened on the top surface of the lifting ring 6, and guide grooves 8 are opened on both sides of the outer side of the gear groove 7. A moving platform 11 is provided on the top of the lifting ring 6. A drive gear 15 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the moving platform 11. The bottom end of the drive gear 15 extends into the inside of the gear groove 7 and meshes with it. Guide wheels 13 are provided around the bottom of the moving platform 11, and the guide wheels 13 extend into the inside of the guide grooves 8.

[0020] Specifically, limit grooves 9 are provided on both inner walls of the guide groove 8, and limit posts 14 are fixedly provided on both outer sides of the guide wheel 13. The limit posts 14 extend into the interior of the limit groove 9 and are slidably connected to its inner wall.

[0021] Specifically, a drive motor 16 is mounted on the outer side of the drive gear 15 via a mounting base, and the output shaft end of the drive motor 16 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 15.

[0022] Specifically, guide rods 17 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the top plate 3. The guide rods 17 pass through the extension block 10 and are slidably connected to it.

[0023] Specifically, a base 2 is provided at the bottom of the tower body 1, and the bottom of the guide rod 17 extends to the top of the base 2 and is fixedly connected thereto.
