Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fuel gas recovery systems, specifically to a low-pressure fuel gas recovery and utilization system. Background Technology

[0002] The low-pressure flammable gases emanating from the hydrogenation production unit and various gas production points in the tank farm primarily consist of fuel gas. This fuel gas is a mixture of non-condensable oil and gas gases with a small amount of hydrogen. Its main components include propylene, isobutane, n-butane, isopentane, n-pentane, and hydrogen. Calculations show that the lower explosive limit of this mixed fuel gas is 1.63%. Therefore, a fuel gas recovery system is necessary to recover the fuel gas.

[0003] Fuel gas recovery typically involves storing it in a tail gas holder. However, commonly used tail gas holders seal the gas by using a rubber mold placed between the inner wall of the holder and the outer wall of the piston. The piston is guided by pulleys, which move along the surface of the rubber mold during the guiding process, pressing the rubber mold into contact with the inner wall of the holder. However, this guiding method usually causes significant wear on the rubber mold. Damage to the rubber mold can affect the sealing of the gas holder, leading to fuel gas leakage, which poses a certain danger. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] A low-pressure fuel gas recovery and utilization system, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the system includes a liquid separator 10, a tail gas holder 20, a tail gas compressor 30, and a control cabinet connected in sequence. The liquid separator 10 is used to absorb low-pressure flammable gases from the hydrogenation production unit and various gas production points in the tank area and to complete the liquid separation. The tail gas holder 20 is used to store the separated gas. The tail gas compressor 30 is used to pressurize the gas in the tail gas holder when it is released. The control cabinet is equipped with a power module and a controller.

[0019] The exhaust gas holder 20 includes a main body 21, a top 22, a support frame 24, a piston 25, and a T-baffle 26. The bottom of the main body 21 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The bottom of the main body 21 is also provided with a T-baffle bracket 29 for supporting the T-baffle 26. An outer rubber sealing membrane 27 is provided between the outer side of the T-baffle 26 and the inner wall of the main body 21. An inner rubber sealing membrane 28 is provided between the inner side of the T-baffle 26 and the outer side of the piston 25. The outer rubber sealing membrane 27 and the inner rubber sealing membrane 28 are connected by angle steel, pressure plate, buckle, and bolt.

[0020] The gas holder body 21 has three spaced-out peripheral platforms 23 on its outer side from top to bottom. The peripheral platforms 23 are connected to each other and the bottom peripheral platform 23 is connected to the ground by inclined ladders, which facilitates the maintenance of the top of the cabinet.

[0021] Two symmetrically arranged guide components 50 are connected to the top of the piston 25. Each guide component 50 includes a guide post 51, a guide sleeve 52, an infrared displacement sensor 55, and a guide sleeve limiting mechanism 57. The bottom of the guide post 51 is connected to the top of the piston 25, and the guide post 51 is slidably connected to the guide sleeve 52. A guide sleeve limiting plate 56 is provided in the middle of the guide sleeve 52 to limit the guide sleeve at the top of the cabinet when the guide post moves.

[0022] The bottom of the guide sleeve 52 is provided with a slot, and the lower part of the guide post 51 is provided with a detection plate 53 that works with the infrared displacement sensor 55 to detect the lifting distance of the guide post. The length of the detection plate is greater than the outer wall diameter of the guide post and the guide sleeve. The middle part of the detection plate 53 is also provided with a card block 54 that connects to the slot.

[0023] An annular limiting block is provided on the bottom inner wall of the guide sleeve 52 to limit the top of the guide post 51, preventing the guide post from coming out of the guide sleeve when it descends.

[0024] The output of the infrared displacement sensor 55 is connected to the input of the controller and is used to send the position signal of the detection board 53 to the controller.

[0025] The guide sleeve limiting mechanism 57 includes two L-shaped pressing plates 571 arranged symmetrically about the center of the guide sleeve 52. The pressing plates 571 have arc-shaped grooves on opposite sides that correspond to the upper and lower parts of the guide sleeve. The bottom of the pressing plates 571 is connected to the connecting plate 573. The connecting plate 573 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 574. The threads on the two connecting plates 573 are in opposite directions.

[0026] The lead screw 574 is mounted on the mounting bracket 572 set on the top peripheral platform 23. The mounting bracket 572 is equipped with a motor 576 that drives the lead screw to rotate. The controlled end of the motor 576 is connected to the output end of the controller. The mounting bracket 572 is also equipped with a guide shaft 575 that is slidably connected to the pressure plate 571.

[0027] A vertical sliding frame 578 is provided below the horizontal end of the pressing plate. A fixing block 577 is provided on the cabinet top 22 at the bottom of the vertical sliding frame 578. A symmetrically arranged sliding groove 579 is provided on the fixing block 577. The vertical sliding frame 578 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 579.

[0028] During the gas storage process in the exhaust gas holder, when the guide column moves upward, the middle of the guide sleeve 52 is limited at the top of the holder by the guide sleeve limiting plate 56, and at the same time, the top of the guide sleeve is pressed by the guide sleeve limiting mechanism 57. Specifically, as follows... Figure 5 As shown, the size of the arc grooves on the two clamping plates 571 after being enclosed is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the guide post and less than the outer diameter of the guide sleeve. The clamping plates clamp the guide sleeve.

[0029] When the locking block on the guide post is engaged in the slot of the guide sleeve, the infrared displacement sensor detects the position of the detection plate. Once the displacement reaches the preset displacement in the controller, the motor is activated to drive the two clamping plates to move in opposite directions, thus removing the restriction on the guide sleeve. The guide post then pushes the guide sleeve upward together.

[0030] During the exhaust gas holder venting process, if the guide sleeve has not moved before, the guide column can move directly downward under the action of the piston and the limit of the guide sleeve. If the guide sleeve has moved before, when the top of the guide column contacts the annular limit block at the bottom of the guide sleeve as the guide column descends with the piston, it will drive the guide sleeve to move downward together until the guide sleeve limit plate contacts the top of the holder and stops. Then, the guide sleeve can be pressed back down by the guide sleeve limit mechanism.

[0031] The top of piston 25 is also connected to piston leveling assembly 60. Specifically, piston leveling assembly 60 has three sets and is evenly distributed in a circumferential direction.

[0032] The piston leveling assembly 60 includes a counterweight 61 and a first wire rope 62 and a second wire rope 63 respectively connected to the counterweight 61. The first wire rope 62 and the second wire rope 63 are arranged in parallel.

[0033] A first pulley group 64 is provided on the outer wall of the gas holder body 21. A second pulley group 65 and a third pulley group 66 are respectively provided on the inner wall of the gas holder body 21 corresponding to the first pulley group 64. Two rope grooves are symmetrically arranged on the first pulley group 64, the second pulley group 65 and the third pulley group 66. The first steel wire rope 62 passes through the left rope groove of the first pulley group 64 and the second pulley group 65 in sequence and is connected to the top of the vertically corresponding piston 25. The second steel wire rope 63 passes through the right rope groove of the first pulley group 64, the second pulley group 65 and the third pulley group 66 in sequence and is connected to the top of the vertically corresponding piston 25. The parts of the first steel wire rope 62 connected to the piston are symmetrically arranged with the parts of the second steel wire rope 63 connected to the piston.

[0034] By cooperating with the counterweight 61, the first wire rope 62, and the second wire rope 63, after one end of the piston 25 is pulled up, the other end moves in the opposite direction to the direction of the force, thus achieving automatic leveling.

[0035] A ventilation hole is provided in the center of the cabinet top 22. A ventilation cap 40 is provided on the top of the ventilation hole. The ventilation cap 40 includes a lower support base 41 provided on the cabinet top 22 outside the ventilation hole. The top surface of the lower support base 41 is provided with a circularly evenly distributed column 43. The top of the column 43 is provided with an umbrella-shaped cap 42. A metal mesh 44 is provided between adjacent columns 43.

[0036] In this embodiment, the piston 25 includes a piston enclosure 251, a corrugated plate 255 is provided on the outer side of the piston enclosure 251, an upper piston platform 252 is provided on the upper outer periphery of the piston enclosure 251, a concrete support seat 256 is provided on the bottom periphery of the piston enclosure 251, a lower piston platform 253 is provided above the concrete support seat 256, a piston plate 254 is provided on the inner side of the concrete support seat 256, and a ladder 257 is provided between the upper piston platform 252 and the lower piston platform 253.

[0037] Inspection holes are provided on piston 25 and gas holder body 21 for easy maintenance. Vent hole and observation window are provided on top of the cabinet 22. The observation window can be opened and closed.

[0038] This invention provides a low-pressure fuel gas recovery and utilization system. By modifying the exhaust gas holder, it can effectively store the recovered low-pressure fuel gas and avoid fuel gas leakage. Effective sealing is achieved by setting inner and outer rubber sealing membranes. By setting a guide component to guide the piston, the problem of sealing membrane leakage caused by wear of the existing piston guide wheel is solved. By setting a piston leveling component, the piston can be automatically leveled, solving the problem of imbalance during piston movement.
