Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toxic gas safety emission technology, specifically relating to a toxic gas safety emission system based on high-altitude diffusion. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial settings such as coal chemical and petrochemical industries, equipment like slag removers, ash water tanks, settling tanks, and vacuum flash evaporators often generate mixed gases containing low concentrations of CO, H2S, ammonia, and water vapor due to process reactions. Traditional treatment methods include: direct ground discharge, which leads to the accumulation of toxic gases at low altitudes, threatening personnel safety and easily triggering GDS alarms; local ventilation, which requires additional energy and is difficult to cover multiple dispersed emission points; and end-of-pipe purification, which uses adsorption / absorption devices for low-concentration gases, but is too costly. Existing technologies suffer from high safety risks, high maintenance costs, and poor system compatibility, necessitating an efficient and economical solution.
[0003] Traditional chemical waste gas treatment technologies have significant systemic shortcomings when dealing with multi-source dispersed toxic gases (such as CO, H2S, and NH3). In terms of collecting and mixing multi-source dispersed gas flows, traditional devices typically employ a "single-point, single-treatment" dispersed mode or simple series collection, relying on fixed gas collection hoods and localized exhaust systems. The installation location, suction speed, and negative pressure control are often not meticulously designed, making it difficult to effectively capture all escaping gases. Gas mixing largely depends on simple pipeline merging or static mixers, which cannot effectively address the challenges posed by differences in gas density (e.g., CO density 1.25 kg / m³). 3 With H2S density 1.39 kg / m³ 3 The stratification and deposition phenomena caused by these emissions not only reduce the efficiency of subsequent treatment but may also form explosive mixtures or corrosion hotspots within the pipeline. Regarding the stable diffusion and adaptability of high-altitude emissions, traditional technologies often employ emission towers of fixed height and structure, whose diffusion effects are highly dependent on natural meteorological conditions and lack intelligent adjustment mechanisms. Under low wind speeds or temperature inversion conditions, flue gas is difficult to diffuse effectively, easily leading to excessive ground concentrations, causing environmental degradation and safety risks (such as false GDS alarms). Furthermore, existing emission towers generally lack efficient anti-condensation designs; under high temperature and humidity conditions, condensate accumulation not only exacerbates equipment corrosion but may also clog pipelines, increasing system operational risks.
[0004] These defects not only reduce the effectiveness of waste gas treatment, leading to frequent false alarms in the GDS system, increased risk of poisoning to operators due to the accumulation of toxic gases on site, and large emission fluctuations causing the concentration at the plant boundary to exceed the standard, but also result in high investment costs and high operating energy consumption due to the independent operation of each unit and lack of coordination, thus restricting the level of environmental protection and safe production in the chemical industry. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a safe emission system for toxic gases based on high-altitude diffusion, so as to solve the technical problems that existing chemical waste gas treatment devices are unable to effectively diffuse toxic gases and cannot effectively solve the stratification and deposition phenomena caused by gas density differences.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a safe emission system for toxic gases based on high-altitude diffusion, comprising a gas collection module, a conveying module, and a high-altitude emission module connected sequentially by pipelines. A gas mixer is provided between the gas collection module and the conveying module. An exhaust fan is provided in the conveying module. An adjustable diffuser is provided on the top of the high-altitude emission module. The system also includes an intelligent control unit. CO / H2S sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors are provided at the inlet of the gas mixer, the conveying pipeline, and the adjustable diffuser. The intelligent control unit, CO / H2S sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and the exhaust fan are electrically connected.
[0007] Preferably, the gas mixer is a venturi tube structure with spiral guide vanes in its internal channels.
[0008] Preferably, the conveying pipeline of the conveying module is installed at an inclination with an inclination slope of not less than 5°, and a drain outlet is set at the low point of the pipeline to connect to the ditch and the settling tank to prevent heavy gas from condensing and accumulating liquid.
[0009] Preferably, the inclined conveying pipe connection end is connected to a flange, and a graphite gasket is provided between the connection end and the flange.
[0010] Preferably, the adjustable diffuser is a louver structure driven by an electric actuator, and the intelligent control unit is configured to automatically adjust its opening angle according to the wind speed sensor signal: fully open to 90° when the wind speed is below 2m / s, and adjust to 30° when the wind speed is above 5m / s.
[0011] Preferably, the conveying pipeline is also equipped with an auxiliary heating device.
[0012] Preferably, the auxiliary heating device is an electric heat tracing device or a steam heat tracing device.
[0013] Preferably, the high-altitude emission module is an emission tower, and the tower body is a segmented prefabricated fiberglass cylindrical structure.
[0014] Preferably, an intelligent check valve is installed on the outlet pipe of the exhaust fan, and the intelligent control unit is configured to control the check valve to close within 0.2 seconds when a sudden drop in pipe pressure exceeding 30 kPa / s is detected.
[0015] Preferably, the gas collection module is made of corrosion-resistant fiberglass or stainless steel and is installed 0.5-1m above the gas generating equipment.
[0016] More preferably, the intelligent control unit adopts a PID adaptive algorithm to establish a closed-loop control model of fan speed and pipeline pressure, stabilizing pipeline negative pressure fluctuations within the range of -100Pa to -200Pa.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a safe emission system for toxic gases based on high-altitude diffusion. Through a sequentially connected structure of a gas collection module, a transport module, and a high-altitude emission module, a complete transmission channel from the pollution source to the atmospheric environment is formed. This path design first ensures that toxic gases are guided to high altitudes. According to the principles of atmospheric diffusion, the higher the altitude, the greater the wind speed and the stronger the turbulence, which is more conducive to the rapid dilution of pollutants. This fundamentally avoids the accumulation of toxic gases in areas with high human activity (near the ground) at the emission site, directly solving the problem of ineffective diffusion.
[0018] A gas mixer and an adjustable diffuser are configured and uniformly scheduled by an intelligent control unit to prevent stratification and deposition. The gas mixer, located after gas collection and before delivery, functions by forcibly mixing gas components of different densities mechanically or fluidly before the gas enters the delivery pipeline. This breaks the natural stratification tendency caused by density differences, forming a uniform gas-solid / gas-liquid mixture, thus preventing the deposition of heavy components in low-speed or stagnant areas of the pipeline. The adjustable diffuser, positioned at the top of the high-altitude emission module, intelligently adjusts the shape and dynamics of the emission flow based on real-time weather conditions. At low wind speeds, the opening is enlarged to reduce back pressure and promote gas diffusion; at high wind speeds, the angle is adjusted to maintain necessary outlet momentum, preventing premature sinking of flue gas due to wind influence, thus achieving optimal diffusion performance in any weather condition. These two components, positioned one after the other, ensure uniform inlet flow and efficient outlet flow, respectively.
[0019] Furthermore, the Venturi effect generates negative pressure, enhancing gas turbulence; the spiral guide vanes apply centrifugal force, ensuring thorough mixing of gas components of different densities, effectively preventing toxic gases from stratifying within the pipeline due to density differences, ensuring uniformity in subsequent treatment or emission, and improving system reliability.
[0020] Furthermore, the inclined pipes and drain outlets utilize gravity to allow condensed droplets or particles in the pipes to automatically slide to the lowest point. Together with the drain outlets, the collected waste liquid is directed into the trench and settling tank, preventing the accumulation of heavy components that could clog pipes, corrode equipment, or cause safety accidents. This ensures the long-term stable operation of the system and reduces maintenance requirements.
[0021] Furthermore, graphite materials have good corrosion resistance and resilience, and can form an effective seal at flange connections, enhancing the sealing performance of the pipeline system. Especially when transporting corrosive and toxic gases, it can effectively prevent micro-leakage and improve the overall safety of the system.
[0022] Furthermore, the configuration intelligently adjusts the opening and closing angle according to wind speed, achieving full opening to promote diffusion at low wind speeds and reducing the angle to maintain outlet back pressure at high wind speeds, ensuring jet power and dilution effect, making gas emissions adapt to different meteorological conditions, ensuring the best diffusion and dilution effect at any wind speed, and avoiding plume washing or excessively high ground concentration.
[0023] Furthermore, electric or steam heat tracing devices supplement the heat of the conveying pipeline, maintaining the pipe wall temperature above the dew point of the waste gas components. This fundamentally prevents the high-temperature waste gas from condensing due to temperature drop during transportation, thus avoiding problems such as corrosion and blockage.
[0024] Furthermore, fiberglass is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process. Its segmented prefabrication facilitates transportation and on-site assembly, significantly reducing the risk of corrosion and maintenance costs of the tower, simplifying the construction process, and shortening the construction period. It is particularly suitable for dealing with corrosive gases and complex terrain.
[0025] Furthermore, the installation of intelligent check valves enables monitoring of pipeline pressure change rates. When the pressure drops sharply, it indicates that the fan may be malfunctioning or the pipeline may be ruptured. The check valve will then shut off rapidly, preventing gas backflow that could form an explosive mixture or cause toxic gas to flow back and endanger upstream equipment and personnel.
[0026] Furthermore, the stainless steel or fiberglass gas collection hood can resist corrosion from most chemical media, ensuring the long life and reliability of the gas collection module; when installed 0.5-1m above the gas generating equipment, it can effectively capture the escaping gas, efficiently collect toxic gases from the source, and reduce fugitive emissions.

The anti-corrosion coating ensures the pipeline requires no maintenance for 12 years. The equipment parameters of emission tower 1 include: each segment is 5m long, 35 meters high, 0.8 meters in diameter, and 12mm thick, made of fiberglass.
