Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coking technology, and specifically relates to a device for cleaning desulfurization towers. Background Technology
[0002] In the vacuum potassium carbonate desulfurization process used in the coke oven gas condensation and purification, a NaOH alkaline washing section is installed at the top of the desulfurization tower. The 40% NaOH alkaline solution required for the decomposition and fixation of ammonium salts by the remaining ammonia water stripping unit is diluted to about 5% by the ammonia stripping wastewater and then sprayed into the alkaline washing section to further remove H2S from the gas. After the desulfurization tower has been running for a certain period of time, a large amount of alkaline scale will be attached to the trays of the NaOH alkaline washing section, causing poor liquid leveling in the trays. The liquid level in the trays rises, trapping the gas and increasing the resistance of the gas system, which can easily lead to coke oven venting. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device for cleaning desulfurization towers, which can achieve online rapid cleaning and extend the maintenance cycle.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An apparatus for cleaning a desulfurization tower includes a desulfurization tower, an alkali tank, a waste alkali tank, and an ammonia-containing wastewater supply pipe. The desulfurization tower includes an upper section and a lower section. The alkali tank and the ammonia-containing wastewater supply pipe are both connected to an alkali inlet pipe. The alkali inlet pipe is connected to the upper part of the upper section of the tower. The bottom of the upper section of the tower is connected to the waste alkali tank via a waste alkali discharge pipe. A cleaning circulation tank is provided between the alkali inlet pipe and the waste alkali discharge pipe. A cleaning liquid return pipe is provided at the top of the cleaning circulation tank and connected to the waste alkali discharge pipe. A U-shaped water seal section is provided on the cleaning liquid return pipe. The bottom of the cleaning circulation tank is connected to the alkali inlet pipe via a cleaning liquid inlet pipe. A clean water inlet pipe is also provided at the top of the cleaning circulation tank. A cleaning discharge pipe is connected to the cleaning liquid return pipe.
[0006] A mixer is provided on the alkaline solution inlet pipe.
[0007] The bottom of the U-shaped water seal section is equipped with a vent valve.
[0008] The bottom of the cleaning circulation tank is connected to a waste discharge pipe.
[0009] A cleaning pump is installed on the cleaning fluid inlet pipe.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention enables rapid online cleaning of desulfurization towers without altering their structure, thus solving the problem of high equipment resistance caused by alkali scale buildup on the bottom trays of the upper section of the tower.
[0012] The front end of the cleaning circulation tank is equipped with a U-shaped water seal section. After cleaning, the U-shaped water seal section can prevent the gas in the desulfurization tower from entering the cleaning circulation tank. During the cleaning process, the vent valve at the bottom of the U-shaped water seal section is used to vent and drain water, eliminate gas resistance, and ensure that the cleaning fluid returns smoothly to the cleaning circulation tank.
[0013] The cleaning solution return pipe is connected to the cleaning discharge pipe, allowing for rinsing with clean water during the early and late stages of desulfurization tower cleaning. The solution is then discharged through the cleaning discharge pipe, saving acid consumption and shortening cleaning time.
[0014] The process is safe, continuous, stable, and efficient. The maintenance cycle for the bottom tray of the upper section of the desulfurization tower has been extended from 6 months to 12 months, saving maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description
