Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of equipment technology for storage tanks, and more specifically, to a floating roof for a storage tank used in methanol-to-olefins and downstream deep processing. Background Technology

[0002] As a core link in the modern coal chemical industry chain, methanol-to-olefins (MTO) and its downstream deep processing involve the storage of large quantities of volatile, flammable, and explosive chemicals such as methanol and olefins. To maintain excellent sealing performance of storage tanks under complex operating conditions, floating roofs are usually installed inside the tanks to reduce the volatilization loss of raw materials such as petroleum during storage.

[0003] The prior art publication number CN222453215U provides a single-disc internal floating roof for storage tanks. This device, by setting up a mounting frame, allows for easy installation and disassembly of the float, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair, and also making it easy to adjust the buoyancy according to the type of oil.

[0004] While the existing technical solutions described above facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the pontoons, they still have the following drawbacks: The buoyancy of these solutions and most commercially available floating roofs is altered by adding or removing pontoons, a cumbersome and inefficient method that hinders rapid adjustment of the floating roof's buoyancy. Therefore, we propose a floating roof for storage tanks used in methanol-to-olefins and downstream processing. Utility Model Content

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This application discloses a floating roof for methanol-to-olefins and downstream deep processing storage tanks, comprising: a tank body 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly installed inside the tank body 1, a floating roof cover 4 detachably installed on the top of the tank body 1, a placement cavity 102 divided by the mounting frame 2, multiple floating airbags 6 installed in the placement cavity 102, and an exhaust port 101 opened on the lower side of the tank body 1, with a discharge component 8 installed in the exhaust port 101. This allows workers to conveniently and quickly adjust the buoyancy of the floating roof without disassembling the floats, and the adjustment accuracy is higher, fully adapting to different oil products.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected between adjacent floating airbags 6. One side of one of the connecting pipes 5 is fixedly connected to an air supply pipe 3. An inflation check valve 12 is installed inside the air supply pipe 3. The inflation check valve 12 can prevent gas leakage inside the floating airbags 6.

[0034] A receiving pipe 10 is fixedly connected between the inner connecting pipe 5 and the outer connecting pipe 5. A valve 11 is installed on the receiving pipe 10. By opening and closing the valve 11, the operator can further adjust the buoyancy of the floating table, thereby improving the applicability of this technical solution.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Several protective cylinders 7 are installed inside the placement cavity 102. The floating airbag 6 is installed inside the protective cylinder 7. Several floats 9 are fixedly installed on the protective cylinder 7. The protective cylinder 7 and floats 9 can not only provide basic buoyancy, but also protect the floating airbag 6 and prevent the floating airbag 6 from being damaged and leaking.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The discharge assembly 8 includes a discharge pipe 801 fixedly connected to the floating roof cover plate 4. The discharge pipe 801 communicates with the inner cavity of the vent hole 101. A release pipe 802 is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe 801. The diameter of the release pipe 802 is larger than that of the discharge pipe 801. A plug plate 803 is slidably connected to the lower side of the discharge pipe 801. Several springs 804 are fixedly connected between the plug plate 803 and the discharge pipe 801.

[0037] An annular scraper 805 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the plug plate 803, and the annular scraper 805 slides in conjunction with the discharge pipe 801.

[0038] When chemicals in the storage tank evaporate, the pressure inside the tank increases, and the evaporated gas pushes the plug plate 803 upward. When the plug plate 803 moves into the release pipe 802, the evaporated gas is discharged through the discharge pipe 801. After the discharge is completed, under the action of the spring 804, the plug plate 803 continues to block the discharge pipe 801. During this process, the annular scraper 805 moves up and down with the plug plate 803 to clean the lower side of the discharge pipe 801, preventing the lower part of the discharge pipe 801 from being blocked and ensuring the smooth discharge of gas from the storage tank.

[0039] This application, by setting up a floating airbag 6, allows staff to conveniently and quickly adjust the buoyancy of the floating roof without disassembling the float; at the same time, by setting up a protective cylinder 7 and a float 9, it not only provides basic buoyancy but also protects the floating airbag 6; in addition, by setting up a receiving pipe 10 and a valve 11, staff can further adjust the buoyancy of the floating roof; and by setting up a discharge assembly 8, it fully ensures the smooth discharge of gas from the storage tank.

[0040] The implementation principle of a floating roof for methanol-to-olefins and downstream deep processing tanks in this application embodiment is as follows: When relevant personnel need to change the buoyancy of the floating roof during the use of this technical solution, the personnel connect the external inflation device to the air supply pipe 3. The external inflation device then inflates the floating air bladder 6 through the air supply pipe 3, thereby increasing the volume of the floating air bladder 6 and enhancing the buoyancy. After the buoyancy of the floating roof is adjusted to an appropriate state, inflation is stopped, and the inflation check valve 12 is reset to prevent gas leakage from the floating air bladder 6. When chemicals in the storage tank evaporate, the pressure inside the tank increases, and the evaporated gas pushes the plugging plate 803 upward. When the plugging plate 803 moves into the release pipe 802, the evaporated gas is discharged through the discharge pipe 801. After the discharge is completed, under the action of the spring 804, the plugging plate 803 continues to block the discharge pipe 801. During this process, the annular scraper 805 moves up and down with the plugging plate 803 to clean the lower side of the discharge pipe 801 and prevent the lower part of the discharge pipe 801 from being blocked.
