Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil and gas separation and treatment technology, and in particular to an automatic regenerable activated carbon processing device for oil and gas separation. Background Technology
[0002] Activated carbon is widely used in oil and gas separation and purification processes in industries such as petrochemicals, natural gas processing, and organic solvent recovery due to its excellent adsorption properties. However, after a period of use, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon gradually decreases, requiring periodic regeneration to restore its performance. To improve activated carbon regeneration efficiency, reduce labor costs, and adapt to the demands of continuous and automated industrial processes, developing activated carbon processing equipment for oil and gas separation with automatic regeneration capabilities has become a key technological focus in the industry. Such equipment typically needs to encompass multiple processes, including raw material conveying, heating and regeneration, cooling, and separation, and must possess high process stability and operational safety.
[0003] Currently, common activated carbon regeneration equipment mainly employs pyrolysis regeneration or steam regeneration methods. These methods utilize high temperatures or steam to heat saturated activated carbon, causing the adsorbed organic components to decompose or desorb, thus restoring its adsorption performance. The equipment typically includes a feeding system, a regeneration furnace, a heating unit, and a tail gas collection and cooling separation device. The feeding section usually uses a constant-speed conveyor to quantitatively feed activated carbon into the regeneration furnace. The heating unit uses electric heating or a gas-fired furnace to maintain a constant temperature environment, achieving stable desorption and regeneration activity. The entire system emphasizes sealing and temperature control precision to ensure operational safety and treatment effectiveness.
[0004] Although existing equipment possesses basic regeneration capabilities, it suffers from significant shortcomings in feed control. Most traditional equipment employs a constant flow rate or fixed structure for its feed system, lacking the ability to dynamically adjust the feed flow rate. This prevents flexible adjustments to the feeding speed based on varying activated carbon particle size, oil content, or regeneration temperature. Such designs are prone to problems during operation, such as excessively rapid material feeding leading to blockages, or insufficient feeding causing equipment load fluctuations. These issues consequently affect the continuity and stability of the entire regeneration process and limit the equipment's adaptability to various process conditions. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an automatic regenerable activated carbon processing device for oil-gas separation, including a reaction vessel 1. The reaction vessel 1 serves as the main reaction chamber for activated carbon cleaning reaction, used to contain cleaning liquid and activated carbon, and to complete chemical treatment steps such as soaking, stirring, heating, and desorption. A feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reaction vessel 1, and an adjustment component is provided inside the feed pipe 2.
[0027] The adjustment assembly includes two sliding plates 27, which serve as movable adjustment elements for the feed opening. By moving these plates, the size of the opening is changed, controlling the amount of raw material fed and enhancing system adaptability. A feed plate 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed pipe 2, and a feed cover 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feed plate 19. The lower surfaces of the two sliding plates 27 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed plate 19. The feed plate 19 provides a sliding support structure for the sliding plates 27, serving as a positioning and support structure for the adjustment. A slide rail 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed plate 19. A rack 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of each sliding plate 27. The rack 25 is fixed to the outside of the sliding plate 27 and meshes with a gear 24, enabling the sliding plates 27 to open and close synchronously with the rotation of the gear 24. The inner wall of the feed plate 25 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 26. The inner wall of the feed plate 19 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 21. The inner wall of the connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to two connecting rods 23. The connecting rods 23 connect the connecting rod 21 to the gear 24. During the adjustment process, the displacement is converted into the rotation of the gear 24, which pushes the sliding plate 27 to open and close. The outer walls of the two connecting rods 23 are rotatably connected to the gears 24. The gears 24 mesh with the rack 25. The outer wall of the feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed box 22. The inner wall of the fixed box 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20. The threaded rod 20 rotates to engage with the thread in the fixed box 22, which drives the connecting rod 21 to move laterally and realizes the adjustment of the opening of the feed port. One end of the threaded rod 20 is set on the outer wall of the connecting rod 21.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-5A discharge pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reactor 1. The discharge pipe 7 discharges the washed activated carbon from the reactor 1 and transports it to the next processing stage through a pipe 8, achieving continuity of the material flow. One end of the discharge pipe 7 is fixedly connected to a pipe 8, and the other end of the pipe 8 is fixedly connected to a dehydrator 9. The dehydrator 9 performs vacuum filtration on the washed activated carbon material to quickly remove excess water, reduce the subsequent drying burden, and improve overall efficiency. The output end of the dehydrator 9 is fixedly connected to another pipe 8, and one end of the other pipe 8 is fixedly connected to a vibrating fluidized bed 10. The vibrating fluidized bed 10 uses the combined action of hot air and vibration to dry the activated carbon. Drying and screening ensure that the material is fully fluidized and uniformly heated, improving the quality of desorption and regeneration. A guide plate 28 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vibrating fluidized bed 10. One end of the guide plate 28 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 32. A connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 32. One end of the connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to a slider 31. The slider 31 moves linearly under the action of a threaded rod 29, pushing the connecting rod 30 and indirectly causing the guide plate 28 to rotate and adjust. A connecting block 14 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 31. A threaded rod 29 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 14. One end of the threaded rod 29 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 31. A sliding plate 27 is set inside the feed pipe 2. The vibrating fluidized bed 10 has a discharge pipe 2 12 fixedly connected to one side of its outer wall. The dried and screened regenerated activated carbon is discharged from this pipe 2 12, facilitating subsequent packaging, storage, or direct use. The outer wall of the connecting block 14 is fitted to the vibrating fluidized bed 10. A support frame 2 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vibrating fluidized bed 10. A vibrating motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vibrating fluidized bed 10. An air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the reaction vessel 1. A battery 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reaction vessel 1. The battery 5 provides an independent power supply for the heating tube 16 and other electrical components, ensuring stable operation of the equipment in scenarios without external power, thus enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment. The reactor 1 is equipped with a support frame 6 fixedly connected to its lower surface, and a heating tube 16 electrically connected to a battery 5. The reactor 1 is equipped with an inner liner 15. A stirring motor 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feed pipe 2. The stirring motor 4 provides power to the stirring device and drives the stirring rod 17 to rotate, so as to achieve uniform mixing of activated carbon and cleaning solution and improve the reaction effect. The stirring rod 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stirring motor 4. The lower surface of the rack 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed plate 19, and the outer wall of the gear 24 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed plate 19. The feed plate 19 provides a sliding support structure for the sliding plate 27, which plays the role of installation positioning and support adjustment structure.
[0029] Working principle: When an automatic regenerable activated carbon processing device for oil-gas separation is needed, the activated carbon raw material is first injected through the feed pipe 2 set on the outer wall of the reaction vessel 1. To adapt to the flow requirements of different batches of raw materials, an adjustment component is set inside the feed pipe 2 to flexibly adjust the size of the feed inlet. This adjustment component includes two sliding plates 27. The rack 25 fixed on the outer wall of the sliding plate 27 meshes with the gear 24 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the feed plate 19 to achieve mechanical synchronous adjustment. The gear 24 is connected to the connecting rod 23 on both sides. The rod 21 is rotatably connected, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 20. The threaded rod 20 is threadedly engaged with the inner wall of the fixed box 22. When the threaded rod 20 is manually rotated, the connecting rod 21 is driven to move laterally, which further drives the gear 24 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the sliding plate 27 and realizing the adjustment of the opening of the raw material inlet. Before the activated carbon enters the reaction vessel 1 through the feed pipe 2, an appropriate amount of water and a certain amount of hydrochloric acid have been injected into the cleaning device to form a cleaning solution with a mass fraction of 3% to 8%, and high-pressure gas is introduced to stir evenly, thus completing the preparation for subsequent cleaning.
[0030] In addition, after pretreatment, the activated carbon material is metered and fed into the cleaning device to begin the soaking and cleaning stage. The entire soaking process lasts for 10 minutes, during which high-pressure gas is continuously introduced to agitate and enhance the contact effect of the chemical solution. Then, the temperature is raised to 100°C and maintained for 30 minutes to achieve a deep reaction. High-pressure gas and steam are then alternately introduced into the cleaning device to control the cleaning solution temperature between 60°C and 80°C for 1–2 hours to complete the enhanced cleaning. After cleaning, the solution is discharged to the waste acid treatment unit, where water is introduced to wash the material. The washed activated carbon is then transported to the dewatering unit 9 through the discharge pipe 7 and its connected pipe 8 for vacuum filtration. After dehydration, the material enters the vibrating fluidized bed 10 through another pipe 8 for hot air drying. In the drying device, the vibrating fluidized bed 10... The air guide plate 28 on the inner wall can adjust the airflow direction to optimize the fluidization effect. One end of the air guide plate 28 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 32. The inner wall of the connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 20. The other end of the connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the slider 31. The outer wall of the slider 31 is slidably connected to the connecting block 14. The inner wall of the connecting block 14 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 29. One end of the threaded rod 29 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 31. By rotating the threaded rod 29, the slider 31 can be displaced in the linear direction, thereby driving the connecting rod 20 to push the connecting rod 32 to rotate, thus completing the adjustment of the angle of the air guide plate 28. This structure allows hot air to penetrate the material layer evenly, effectively avoiding dead corner accumulation and excessive dust, improving heat exchange efficiency and drying effect. Finally, through screening, the target desorbent product is obtained.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
