Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical equipment technology, and in particular to a liquefied gas desulfurization tower. Background Technology
[0002] During the oil refining and natural gas processing processes, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) typically contains a certain amount of sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide. These sulfides not only cause pollutants such as sulfur dioxide to be produced when LPG is burned, resulting in air pollution, but also corrode pipelines and equipment, shortening their service life and even causing safety accidents.
[0003] Application No. 202420539071.8 discloses a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) desulfurization device, relating to the field of LPG treatment technology. The device includes a tower body, an input pipe, a distributor, a spiral baffle, a spiral tube, and a return pipe. The input pipe vertically penetrates the center of the top of the tower body. The distributor is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the input pipe via a sealed bearing, and its side is provided with several distribution pipes. Each of the distribution pipes has a row of atomizing nozzles on the same side. The spiral baffle is fixed to the inner wall of the tower body in the middle of the tower's internal cavity, forming a spiral channel with the inner wall. The spiral tube is fixedly fitted onto the outside of the tower body and corresponds to the spiral channel, with several atomizing nozzles penetrating the tower body on its inner side. The bottom of the tower's internal cavity is a storage tank. A circulation pump is installed outside the tower body on one side of the storage tank. The inlet of the circulation pump is connected to the storage tank, and its outlet is connected to the input pipe and the spiral tube via the return pipe. This device performs two-stage treatment of LPG through the spiral tube and the rotating distributor, thereby improving the treatment effect on sulfides in the LPG.
[0004] The above-mentioned solution has shortcomings in use. After spraying alkaline solution, it is impossible to further separate the gas and liquid. The mixed gas after the reaction still carries a large number of fine alkaline solution droplets. The unseparated alkaline solution is discharged with the purified gas, which will cause waste of alkaline agents. Therefore, we provide a liquefied gas desulfurization tower. Utility Model Content

A liquid delivery pipe 302 is sleeved on the outside of the diversion cylinder 301, and the input end of the liquid delivery pipe 302 extends to the outside of the tower body 1. An atomizing nozzle 303 arranged in a ring is connected to the liquid delivery pipe 302, and the atomizing nozzle 303 extends into the inside of the diversion cylinder 301. An external alkaline solution can be delivered to the atomizing nozzle 303 through the liquid delivery pipe 302.

The liquefied gas will flow upward from the dispersion holes on the rectifier plate 304. The dispersion holes can evenly disperse the liquefied gas into multiple fine airflows. These dispersed airflows pass through the inside of the diversion tube 301 in an orderly manner, which greatly increases the contact area and contact time between the liquefied gas and the alkaline solution, ensuring that the alkaline solution can fully react with the sulfides in the liquefied gas and significantly improve the desulfurization efficiency.
[0027] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 4 As shown: A gas-liquid separation component 4 is provided at the top of the tower body 1. The gas-liquid separation component 4 includes a connecting cylinder 401 fixedly connected to the top of the tower body 1. A drying cotton 402 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 401. The desulfurized liquefied gas will carry the alkaline solution upward. The drying cotton 402 can absorb the alkaline solution in the liquefied gas, preventing the alkaline solution from being discharged with the purified gas and further reducing the waste of alkaline agents.
[0028] As attached Figure 4 As shown: The gas-liquid separation component 4 also includes a squeezing structure disposed inside the connecting cylinder 401 for squeezing the drying cotton 402 to remove the alkaline solution from the drying cotton 402.

The output end of the motor 403 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 404. The bottom end of the rotating rod 404 extends to the bottom of the drying cotton 402, and the outer surface of the rotating rod 404 is rotatably connected to the drying cotton 402. A set of squeezing rollers 405 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 404. The two squeezing rollers 405 are located above and below the drying cotton 402, respectively. When the motor 403 is working, it will drive the rotating rod 404 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating rod 404 will drive the squeezing rollers 405 to rotate. The squeezing rollers 405 will squeeze the drying cotton 402, which can squeeze out the alkaline solution saturated inside the drying cotton 402, so that the drying cotton 402 can restore its adsorption activity. It can dry the continuously passing liquefied gas and absorb the residual alkaline solution droplets.
[0029] As attached Figure 4As shown: The upper surface of the connecting cylinder 401 is connected to the discharge pipe 408, and the output end of the discharge pipe 408 is connected to the connecting flange 409.

The other end of the reinforcing plate 406 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 401. The reinforcing plate 406 can support the rotating rod 404, further enhancing the stability of the rotating rod 404 during rotation. A protective shell 407 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 404. The upper surface of the protective shell 407 is connected to the inner top wall of the connecting cylinder 401.

A connecting pipe 6 is connected to the bottom surface of the collection hood 5, and the output end of the connecting pipe 6 extends to the outside of the tower body 1. When alkaline solution drips, it will collect inside the collection hood 5, and the alkaline solution will flow out to the outside of the tower body 1 along the connecting pipe 6, which is convenient for staff to collect and process the alkaline solution.
[0032] Working principle: During use, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is introduced into the tower body 1. The LPG enters the guide tube 301 and flows upward from the rectifier plate 304. Then, an alkaline solution is injected into the delivery pipe 302. The alkaline solution is sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 303 onto the guide tube 301, and the LPG passes through the atomized alkaline solution, thus achieving the desulfurization effect on the LPG. Subsequently, the LPG carries some alkaline solution droplets upward, and the drying cotton 402 dries the LPG, absorbing the alkaline residue carried in the LPG. The alkaline solution droplets are removed to prevent the alkaline solution from being discharged with the liquefied gas, thus avoiding waste of the reagent. At the same time, the motor 403 can be controlled to work. The motor 403 drives the rotating rod 404 to rotate, and the rotating rod 404 drives the squeezing roller 405 to rotate. The squeezing roller 405 squeezes the drying cotton 402, which can squeeze out the alkaline solution saturated inside the drying cotton 402, so that the drying cotton 402 can restore its adsorption activity. It can dry the continuously passing liquefied gas and absorb the residual alkaline solution droplets.
