Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acetonitrile production safety monitoring technology, specifically a safety leak prevention device for toxic gases in acetonitrile production tail gas. Background Technology
[0002] Acetonitrile (also known as methyl cyanide or cyanomethane) is a colorless, transparent liquid with a distinctive pungent odor. It is highly toxic and volatile. The production of acetonitrile generates a large amount of tail gas containing toxic gases such as unreacted acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide, and other volatile organic compounds. Exposure to these toxic gases can be harmful to human health. Existing leak prevention devices for toxic gases in acetonitrile production tail gas mostly use single-point concentration detection or single-threshold alarms, which have the following drawbacks: they cannot distinguish between minor leaks and major accidents, leading to inappropriate response measures; single-point detection is susceptible to environmental interference, resulting in a high false alarm rate; and they lack multi-level linkage control functions, failing to achieve tiered emergency response.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 A safety leak prevention device for toxic gases in acetonitrile production tail gas includes: a first-stage detection module 100, a second-stage detection module 200, a control module 300, and an alarm module 400, wherein:
[0034] The first-level detection module 100 is installed at the connection or outer surface of the container storing acetonitrile tail gas, and is used to monitor the flow rate and / or concentration of toxic gas near the leak point in real time.
[0035] The second-level detection module 200 is set at different fixed intervals from the container storing acetonitrile tail gas, and is used to monitor in real time the flow rate and / or concentration of toxic gas at different locations in the diffusion process of toxic gas in acetonitrile production tail gas.
[0036] The control module 300 is electrically connected to the first-level detection module 100 and the second-level detection module 200 respectively. It is used to compare the monitoring data of the first-level detection module 100 with the first preset threshold and the monitoring data of the second-level detection module 200 with the second preset threshold, and to determine the leakage level of toxic gas by comparing the comparison results.
[0037] The alarm module 400 is electrically connected to the control module 300 and is used to perform alarm operations according to the corresponding level of toxic gas leakage.
[0038] During operation, the number of first-level detection modules 100 and second-level detection modules 200 is greater than or equal to three. First-level detection module 100 monitors the gas flow rate (V1) and / or concentration (C1) near the leak point of the container storing tail gas during acetonitrile production in real time; second-level detection module 200 monitors the gas flow rate (V2) and / or concentration (C2) at a distance in real time; and transmits the collected data to control module 300 in real time. Control module 300 compares the received data with standard values and triggers the corresponding level of alarm module 400 based on the comparison result. Alarm module 400 performs an alarm operation of the corresponding degree based on the trigger operation.
[0039] Compared to existing technologies, this application achieves precise classification of the degree of toxic gas leakage through a two-level detection module, and performs corresponding alarm operations for different levels of leakage. This enables accurate monitoring and management of toxic gases in acetonitrile generation tail gas, reduces the false alarm rate, and realizes a graded emergency response, effectively preventing harm to personnel.
[0040] In some embodiments, both the first-level detection module 100 and the second-level detection module 200 include a gas flow meter and / or a concentration sensor, wherein the concentration sensor is one or more of an electrochemical sensor, a PID sensor, or an infrared sensor. Setting up different types of detection equipment ensures the accuracy of leak gas monitoring, facilitating timely responses from personnel.
[0041] In some embodiments, the control module 300 includes:
[0042] Microprocessor 301 is used for data computation and threshold comparison;
[0043] Threshold storage unit 302 is used to store a first preset threshold and a second preset threshold;
[0044] The data communication unit 303 supports one or more of the following protocols: RS485, Modbus, or LoRa.
[0045] The control module 300 enables rapid processing of data from multiple levels of equipment, accurate monitoring and management of toxic gases in acetonitrile generation exhaust, reduces false alarm rates, and facilitates tiered emergency response.
[0046] In some embodiments, the alarm module 400 includes:
[0047] Minor accident alarm unit 401 includes a yellow audible and visual alarm and a local display screen;
[0048] The major accident alarm unit 402 includes a red audible and visual alarm, an SMS push module, and an emergency shut-off valve drive unit.
[0049] The system provides corresponding alarm responses for different levels of leakage, enabling precise monitoring and management of toxic gases in acetonitrile generation tail gas, reducing false alarm rates, and achieving tiered emergency response.
[0050] In some embodiments, the SMS push module is implemented via a GSM or 5G communication module, and the emergency shut-off valve drive unit is a solenoid valve or pneumatic valve drive circuit. The SMS push module provides timely reminders to staff, while the emergency shut-off valve drive unit physically isolates the toxic acetonitrile production exhaust gas from the air. In the event of a major accident, the shut-off valve and SMS push are linked, shortening emergency response time and effectively preventing harm to staff.
[0051] In some embodiments, a power supply module is also included. This module supports dual power supply from mains power and a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), and features overvoltage and undervoltage protection. The power supply module ensures stable operation of different modules, which helps improve the efficiency of tiered emergency response.
[0052] In some embodiments, an environmental parameter compensation module 500 is also included. The environmental parameter compensation module 500 is electrically connected to the control module 300 and is used to correct the gas flow rate or concentration detection value based on the data from the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor.
[0053] The environmental parameter compensation module 500 improves the accuracy of the data collected by the first and second detection modules, enabling precise classification of the degree of toxic gas leakage.
[0054] In some embodiments, the fixed interval length is 3-10 meters, the first preset threshold is 0.1-1 m / s and / or 100-500 ppm, and the second preset threshold is 1-5 m / s and / or 500-2000 ppm. By detecting the flow rate and / or concentration of toxic gases in the exhaust gas at different locations, the degree of toxic gas leakage can be accurately classified, and corresponding alarm operations can be performed for different levels of leakage. This achieves accurate monitoring and management of toxic gases in acetonitrile generation exhaust gas and reduces the false alarm rate.
[0055] In some embodiments, a data logging module 600 is also included. The data logging module 600 is electrically connected to the control module 300. The data logging module 600 is used to store historical detection data and alarm events, and supports exporting to a USB storage device or a DCS system. The data logging module 600 facilitates accurate retrospective analysis of subsequent processes.
[0056] In some embodiments, the control module 300 further includes a self-diagnostic unit 304 for detecting sensor failures, communication interruptions, or power supply anomalies, and alerting the alarm module 400 to maintenance needs. The self-diagnostic unit 304 enables rapid judgment and response to system faults, and can promptly prevent more serious accidents from occurring.
