[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical production technology, specifically relating to a hydrogen fluoride leak-free unloading system. Background Technology
[0002] In the fluorochemical production process, a large amount of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is required as a raw material. However, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is a colorless, toxic gas with an irritating odor at room temperature and pressure, and it readily absorbs water to form the strong acid hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the safety and stability of the unloading process. To address this, a leak-free hydrogen fluoride unloading system was designed to guarantee safety during the unloading process. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a leak-free hydrogen fluoride unloading system is described. When the tanker truck 10 carrying hydrogen fluoride is unloading, the unloading pipe 12 and the outlet pipe 13 are connected to the top of the tanker truck 10. After the pipe connection is completed, personnel are evacuated from the site to ensure personnel safety. The DCS then begins the unloading process.
[0015] The specific operation is as follows: The DCS system remotely closes the second remote shut-off valve 6, and opens the first remote shut-off valve 4, the third remote shut-off valve 8, and the fourth remote shut-off valve 9. Then, the diaphragm compressor 7 is started. The hydrogen fluoride gas in the upper part of the hydrogen fluoride storage tank 2 enters the buffer tank 5 through the pipeline. After being pressurized by the diaphragm compressor 7, it enters the tank truck 10. By pressurizing the tank truck 10, the liquid hydrogen fluoride is transported to the hydrogen fluoride storage tank 2. The parameters of the weighing module 1 and the remote pressure gauge 3 at the bottom of the hydrogen fluoride storage tank 2 begin to change. When the pressure and weight exceed "0.1 MPa ≤ pressure ≤ 1 MPa or 3t ≤ weight ≤ 20t", it indicates that unloading is complete and the DCS begins the recovery process.
[0016] The specific procedure is as follows: The DCS opens the second remote shut-off valve 6 on the nitrogen pipeline, closes the first remote shut-off valve 4, the third remote shut-off valve 8, and the fourth remote shut-off valve 9, and stops unloading; the fifth remote shut-off valve 14 is opened, and the residual hydrogen fluoride gas in the pipeline is purged to the recovery system using nitrogen. After the entire recovery process runs for 15 minutes, the DCS remotely shuts off the diaphragm compressor 7, and closes the second remote shut-off valve 6 and the fifth remote shut-off valve 14. The hydrogen fluoride unloading process is completed, and the tanker truck 10 drives away.
