Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste catalyst sludge dewatering technology, specifically waste catalyst sludge dewatering treatment equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Catalytic cracking units in oil refineries are one of the main processing units for heavy oil. Catalyst consumption and replacement are one of the main operating characteristics of this unit. Normally, fresh catalyst is consumed at a rate of 0.6-1.4 kg / t of feedstock, while 0.3-0.6 kg / t of catalyst is lost to the atmosphere through the chimney. With increasingly stringent national environmental regulations, the emission indicators of SO2, NOx, and dust content from catalytic cracking unit chimneys are strictly controlled. Both domestically and internationally, flue gas desulfurization and denitrification technologies are being adopted to meet emission requirements. Currently, catalytic cracking units mainly use wet desulfurization technology. When using wet desulfurization, the dust content in the chimney reaches below 50 mg / m³. The catalyst recovered from washing enters the wastewater system. After sedimentation and concentration in the clarifier, the water content is above 99%, and it is in a flowing state, requiring dehydration treatment. In related technologies, the screw press sludge dewatering machine is one of the commonly used devices for dewatering waste catalyst sludge. However, the moisture content of the sludge cake after dewatering by the screw press is generally between 75% and 85%, which is still relatively high and increases the difficulty of subsequent treatment of the sludge cake. Moreover, due to equipment wear, the dewatering effect will be affected. Based on this, this application proposes a waste catalyst sludge dewatering treatment device. Utility Model Content

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.
[0022] This utility model provides an embodiment: Please refer to Figure 1-5 Waste catalyst sludge dewatering equipment includes a screw press dewatering machine body 1, a hollow plate 2, a preheating structure, and a drying structure. The screw press dewatering machine body 1 is existing technology. In some embodiments of this application, the screw press dewatering machine body 1 is disclosed by the authorized patent application number CN201720707897.0. The preheating structure is connected to the screw press dewatering machine body 1 through the hollow plate 2. The discharge end of the screw press dewatering machine body 1 and the feed end of the preheating structure are both located in the inner cavity of the hollow plate 2, and the feed end of the preheating structure is located below the discharge end of the screw press dewatering machine body 1. With this configuration, the sludge cake generated after dewatering by the screw press dewatering machine body 1 can fall into the inner cavity of the preheating structure under the action of gravity.
[0023] The preheating structure includes a first housing 3 connected to the hollow plate 2, a spiral feeding shaft 9 movably connected to the inner cavity of the first housing 3, and a humidity sensor 18 set on the spiral feeding shaft 9. The humidity sensor 18 can detect the humidity of the mud cake, and the working efficiency of the screw press dewatering machine can be determined based on the humidity of the mud cake. A servo motor 14 is provided at one end of the first housing 3. The output shaft end of the servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the spiral feeding shaft 9 through a reducer. When the servo motor 14 is working, it can drive the spiral feeding shaft 9 connected to it to rotate. When the spiral feeding shaft 9 rotates, it can transport the mud cake located in the inner cavity of the first housing 3. The mud cake can be discharged through the discharge end of the preheating structure. The discharge end of the preheating structure is located above the feed end of the drying structure, and the mud cake can fall into the inner cavity of the drying structure.
[0024] The drying structure has a feed hopper 8 at one end near the first housing 3 and a discharge pipe 7 at the bottom of the other end. The discharge pipe 7 is located on the side of the feed hopper 8 away from the preheating structure. The drying structure includes a second housing 4. An inner cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the second housing 4. A rotating shaft 11 is movably connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the inner cylinder 16. A heating cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating shaft 11. A spiral blade 13 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the heating cylinder 12. A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the second housing 4. The output shaft of the servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 11 through a reducer. With the servo motor 6, the rotation of the servo motor 6 can drive the rotating shaft 11 connected to it to rotate. When the rotating shaft 11 rotates, it can drive the spiral blade 13 to rotate. The spiral blade 13 can drive the mud cake that falls into the second housing 4 through the feed hopper 8 to move. During the movement of the mud cake, the heat generated by the heating cylinder 12 is turned on to dry the mud cake. The dried mud cake is discharged through the discharge pipe 7.
[0025] A steam flow chamber 17 is formed between the inner cylinder 16 and the inner wall of the second shell 4. The top of the inner cylinder 16 away from the feed hopper 8 is uniformly provided with steam through holes. The water vapor generated when the mud cake is heated enters the inner cavity of the steam flow chamber 17 through the steam through holes. The top of the steam flow chamber 17 is provided with a steam discharge pipe 5. The shell wall of the first shell 3 is in a hollow state. The top of the shell wall of the first shell 3 is provided with a hot fluid inlet pipe 10. The other end of the steam discharge pipe 5 is connected to the other end of the hot fluid inlet pipe 10.

The steam preheats the mud cake in the preheating structure, improves the drying speed of the mud cake, and saves energy. The condensate generated by the steam heat release flows into the filtrate collection chamber of the screw press dewatering machine body 1 through the liquid outlet channel 15.
[0026] The liquid outlet channel 15 is inclined, and the hot fluid inlet pipe 10 is located at the high end of the liquid outlet channel 15. This arrangement facilitates the discharge of steam condensate.

[0028] In summary: When this waste catalyst sludge dewatering treatment equipment is in use, the existing screw press dewatering machine body 1 is used to perform preliminary dewatering of the waste catalyst sludge. The sludge cake after preliminary dewatering falls into the inner cavity of the preheating structure under gravity. Servo motor 2 14 drives the screw feeding shaft 9 to rotate, and the screw feeding shaft 9 drives the preliminary dewatered sludge cake to move.

Servo motor 1 6 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 11 drives the spiral blades 13 to rotate. The mud cake is moved, and during the movement, the heat emitted by the heating cylinder 12 when it is powered on dries the mud cake. The dried mud cake is discharged through the discharge pipe 7. The steam generated during the drying process enters the inner cavity of the steam flow chamber 17 through the steam through hole. The steam in the steam flow chamber 17 enters the hot fluid inlet pipe 10 through the steam discharge pipe 5. The steam preheats the mud cake in the preheating structure, improves the drying speed of the mud cake, and saves energy. The condensate generated by the steam heat release flows through the liquid outlet channel 15 to the filtrate collection chamber of the screw press dewatering machine body 1.
[0029] The device uses a humidity sensor 18 to monitor the humidity of the mud cake after it has been dehydrated by the screw press dewatering machine body 1. The working quality of the screw press dewatering machine body 1 can be determined based on the humidity of the mud cake. The controller inside the device can promptly notify the staff to inspect and maintain the screw press dewatering machine body 1 based on the detection results.
