Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of naphtha dehydration technology, and in particular to a naphtha modification, dehydration and consumption reduction device. Background Technology

[0002] The presence of water in naphtha can adversely affect subsequent processing. For example, in aromatics reforming units, excessive water content can wash away chlorine from the reforming catalyst, weakening its acidity and reducing its activity. It can also accelerate the aggregation of platinum crystals on the reforming catalyst, reducing its metallic properties. Therefore, naphtha needs to be dehydrated. Common dehydration techniques include coalescence dehydration and molecular sieve desiccant dehydration.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used dehydration technologies in production include coalescer and molecular sieve dehydration technology. The former has a complex equipment structure and high cost, the filter element is prone to clogging and has high requirements for fluid characteristics and system stability, while the latter has high regeneration energy consumption and increased cost. Frequent regeneration will reduce the mechanical strength of the molecular sieve and shorten its life. To address these issues, we propose a naphtha reforming and dehydration energy-saving device.

A salt layer 13 is provided inside both the first salt tank 2 and the second salt tank 3. A steam generator 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. An air inlet assembly 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the steam generator 10. The outer surface of the first salt tank 2... Both the outer surfaces of the first salt tank 2 and the second salt tank 3 are equipped with gas distribution components 12. The upper surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the naphtha recovery tank 5. The outer surfaces of the first salt tank 2 and the second salt tank 3 are connected to the back of the naphtha recovery tank 5. The upper surface of the naphtha recovery tank 5 is equipped with symmetrical oil conveying components 4. Through the cooperation of the first salt tank 2 and the second salt tank 3, they can be switched to perform dehydration of naphtha. By setting a hot nitrogen connection pipe 6, external hot nitrogen can be connected. By setting a first valve 7, the flow direction of heavy naphtha can be controlled. Through the cooperation of the steam generator 10, the air inlet component 11 and the gas distribution component 12, the salt layer 13 can be heated to accelerate the evaporation of water adsorbed by the salt layer 13.

[0023] Both oil conveying components 4 include oil pumps 401, both oil pumps 401 are located on the upper surface of naphtha recovery tank 5, and the output ends of both oil pumps 401 are fixedly connected to oil suction pipes 402. The bottom ends of both oil suction pipes 402 penetrate through naphtha recovery tank 5 and extend into the interior of naphtha recovery tank 5. The output ends of both oil pumps 401 are fixedly connected to oil conveying pipes 403. One end of each oil conveying pipe 403 is connected to the outer surface of the first salt tank 2 and the outer surface of the second salt tank 3, respectively. Through the cooperation of oil pumps 401, oil suction pipes 402 and oil conveying pipes 403, the cyclical transportation of naphtha can be realized.

[0024] The outer surface of the oil distribution pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the heavy naphtha connecting pipe 9. By setting the heavy naphtha connecting pipe 9, it can serve as an input channel for external heavy naphtha, allowing heavy naphtha to enter the interior of the salt tank.

[0025] The intake assembly 11 includes an intake pipe 111, and a symmetrical second valve 112 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the intake pipe 111, which allows steam to enter the distribution box 121 through the intake pipe 111, and controls the flow direction of the steam by opening and closing the second valve 112.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] Heavy naphtha enters the oil distribution pipe 8 through the heavy naphtha connecting pipe 9. The first valve 7 controls the flow of heavy naphtha into the first salt tank 2 and the second salt tank 3, allowing for switching between them. After entering the first salt tank 2, the salt layer 13 adsorbs the water in the heavy naphtha, thus dehydrating it. The dehydrated naphtha flows to the bottom of the first salt tank 2 and into the naphtha recovery tank 5. If the dehydration effect of the salt layer 13 in the first salt tank 2 does not meet the requirements, the first valve 7 is switched to the second salt tank 3 for production. After switching, hot nitrogen is introduced through the hot nitrogen connecting pipe 6. The first salt tank 2, as it passes through the salt layer 13 from top to bottom, carries away the naphtha trapped in the gaps of the salt layer 13 and some water vapor on the surface of the salt layer 13 to the bottom of the tank and discharges it to the naphtha recovery tank 5. Then, the oil pump 401 extracts the naphtha from the naphtha recovery tank 5 through the oil extraction pipe 402 and delivers it to the salt tank through the oil delivery pipe 403 to realize the circulation and dehydration of the naphtha. At the same time, the steam generated by the steam generator 10 flows into the gas distribution component 12 through the air intake component 11 to heat the salt layer 13, accelerate the evaporation of the water adsorbed in the salt layer 13, and realize the regeneration of the salt layer 13.
