Abstract

The method for removing the contaminant flowing through apparatus during chemical processing features that heated aqueous solution of extractant (for example, terpene) and surfactant is pumped to make it flow through the apparatus.

Description

Remove the method for equipment contaminate thing
The present invention relates to the method for during shut-down maintenance (turnaround), removing the pollutent of hydrocarbon processing equipment and container, particularly benzene, thereby cleaning equipment makes the staff carry out internal examination, maintenance and repair to equipment safely.Specifically, the present invention will add device systems, reclaim solution to handle or to utilize, all or part hydrocarbon processing equipment of flowing through is carried out integral body cleaning from its terminal based on the decontaminating solution of the extraction agent initiating terminal from device systems to be cleaned.
In chemical process and petroleum refining industry, at set intervals, factory just carries out maintenance of equipment and transformation, or once a year, once every two years or still less (if possible), in the maintenance period that operating system is stopped work fully, all respects of inspection and maintenance operating equipment system.The operating equipment system is made up of all kinds equipment that fluid is communicated with, as jar, heat exchanger, distillation tower, reactor etc.In oil refining and petrochemical industry, in order to store and to transmit conveniently, generally with an endfeed of raw material such as crude oil slave unit system and hydrocarbons product stream reclaims from the other end.Certainly, the equipment of any similar processing flow stream also can clean.This maintenance of on a large scale each equipment being carried out is known as shut-down maintenance, making operating system recovery production as early as possible is vital to factory's benefit, this be because the main loss of this maintenance (even maintenance itself costs a lot of money) be this processing units can not production refined oil product time.Must guarantee in the maintenance process that staff's safe requirement has also influenced the speed that maintenance is carried out certainly.
During shut-down maintenance, can not only stop operating process, emptying equipment system just allow the serviceman enter.Must at first make processing unit safety and remove wherein harmful even fatal resistates, make can the enter internal structure of examination and maintenance (as not rebuilding) equipment of staff.When maintenance process equipment, need before maintenance, clean usually and decontamination is single or one group of equipment.Present this cleaning (according to equipment) is to remove heavy oil and coke earlier with the light hydrocarbon solvent, injects steam-treated for some time subsequently to no longer include the gas that the serviceman is had explosion risk in monitoring device shows equipment.The method that also useful water cleaning process equipment (as suitable words) is removed pollutent, and generally be to use water vapor and water to remove the interior gas of equipment simultaneously, the maintenance so that the maintainer can enter safely.These purging methods generally need spend many hours, even a couple of days, cause the loss that a couple of days can not produce.The solvent cleaning step also can be saved generally not too effectively water vapor rinse step later on.Certainly hope can clean simultaneously effectively with the whole process flow of decontamination through equipment.
In the method for the cleaning processing equipment system of prior art, after degasification, normally with strong or weak, inorganic or organic acid or alkali or sequestrant (as HF, HCl, H 2SO 4, citric acid, acetate and hydroxyethanoic acid or EDTA, DTPA and similar sequestrant) pump is defeated by processing unit, relies on chemical reaction to remove inorganic, metal oxide dirt, corrosion product and hydro carbons settling.Unfortunately, eroding chemical can not only attack dirt and pollutent, but also the constituent material of strong corrosion equipment, and they can not pass through ready-made process pump or pipeline, because they will destroy the mechanical seal of these pumps.Need be connected into other pony pump and small pipeline and clean, make like this that cleaning speed is slow, efficient is not high.Certainly, pickling needs rinse step, neutralization procedure and rinse step---all these will handle the chemical that is difficult to handle once more, makes the time of cleaning cost longer.Active lower chemical is cleaning equipment thoroughly.The none purging method adopts gas phase to clean and remove deleterious volatile organic pollutant.
Maintainer's safety is particularly importantly removed benzene and other volatile organic carbon component from processing unit.People early have recognized that, in the environment of people's long-term exposure high-content benzene in chemical industry and petrochemical factory, will cause bone marrow function decline, underdevelopment and leukemia.Though, also having by the steam-like of skin absorption or the benzene in the water-bearing media, the benzene that benzolism the most generally is not removed owing to suction in the processing unit system causes.At present, for the staff of 8 times each workday, the safety standards of statutory regulation is 1.0ppm (on average) benzene.The National Institute For Occupational Safety AndHealth (HIOSH) recommend (1989) but the benzene in air content of occupational long-term exposure on be limited to 0.1ppm.This is also enough not good, because the workman that shut-down maintenance service company employs will be exposed in the processing unit continuously.Now, the so continuous exposure of labourer's safety rules restriction.Therefore, a main purpose of the present invention provides the method for removing pollutent in the processing unit, and it is effective and has surpassed above-mentioned standard---and in fact, it is near (as not reaching) 0ppm benzene.Benzene is present in the technical process passage usually---below dirt in pipeline, valve, pump and tower, reactor, jar and the heat exchanger or other pollutent, they only think clean later stage when having finished just from pollutant sediment thing space, ooze out or be enriched in the bullet of equipment at the bottom of gap (head space).So far, disposable integral still of no use is operated the pollutent method in the whole process flow passage of removing.
Though cleaning processing equipment has many stubborn problems, overwhelming requirement is to guarantee safety raising speed down, and the present invention has reached above-mentioned purpose when more effectively protecting environment.The present invention in many cases remove safely objectionable impurities particularly benzene even need not open processing unit in the past, just almost can thoroughly clean them---from the crude oil feeding pump to product storage tank.
The present invention has improved the old decontamination and the purging method of processing unit, it comprises, material feeding mouth to be processed adds in this processing unit when going into operation by processing unit has the extraction agent of avidity and the aqueous solution of tensio-active agent to pollutent, make this water solution flow through comprising pipeline, the whole process flow of pump and processing unit (those that select except works engineer will by the equipment of the adding of non-processing material infringement) is through equipment, reclaim this aqueous solution at the product collection place of this technical process then, or it is handled with mode free from environmental pollution, or purifying and reusing.The reagent that the inventive method is used is harmless, can not produce other refuse, just they are introduced factory sewage biological treatment system, can handle according to ordinary method.
At first, can be with the emptying in heat of processing unit system, and use the light hydrocarbon solvent washing, tentatively clean, but this is not the sin qua non in the present invention's practice.The water that need add capacity to process flow in equipment provides head for being used for that the aqueous solution is cycled through process flow to be cleaned through the pump (preferably process pump) of equipment.In this system, inject water vapor then with being heated to about 160 °F to about 270 °F at processing unit round-robin water and the processing unit from the opening for feed to the drawing mechanism.Mix to treat in water vapor and remove the extraction agent that pollutent has avidity, it is a gas under the water vapor condition, proceeds to inject, and on water vapor and the extraction agent internal surface with condensation equipment in technical process, removes and catch pollutent.Preferably also contain in said temperature scope boiling in the water vapor or have the tensio-active agent of high-vapor-pressure, promote the water of condensation and extraction agent to enter the sedimental pollutent slit that contains, improve the cleaning performance of processing unit internal surface.Also contain extraction agent and tensio-active agent (as exist) in the steam-heated recirculated water of water, also can be from this device systems the flush away pollutent, also there is cleanup action on the surface that is in contact with it.
According to boiling point, vapour pressure and the hydrocarbon solubleness therein of extraction agent, preferably use terpene to make extraction agent.Even tensio-active agent and extraction agent do not seethe with excitement in the steam temperature scope, if it is enough high that the branch of these two components is pressed under the condition of spreading out clearly, their steam will disperse and condensation in passage in process flow, enter in the slit of pollutent and hydrocarbon dirt matrix, also can extract and remove pollutent.Find that the inventive method is effective especially to the benzene of thoroughly removing in the equipment.The enough power of the condensation of this steam generation is extracted pollutent even can be pulverized dirt particles itself from the slit in airtight processing unit.This chemical formulation can in emulsion, carry under one's arms equably fine-particle solid or colloidal solid and hydrocarbon, thus make the destruction of pump seal and packing ring extremely light.When the option table surface-active agent, consider its emulsifying property to concrete pollutent.
Being used for chemical formulation of the present invention can emulsification and the various typical hydrocarbon processing industry pollutents of dissolving, as coke, resin, bituminous matter and organic polymer, they are to use aromatic hydrocarbons or fat hydrocarbon solvent (some is carcinogenic or deforming) traditionally and remove based on the alkaline stain remover.Cleaning solution of the present invention is noncorrosive, nonreactive activity, can not destroy the metal that conventional hydrocarbon processing equipment system uses.Like this, can use process pump in the original system decontaminating solution that circulates, thereby can be fully and utilize the pressure and the flow velocity of system to greatest extent, and can not destroy the sealing and the packing ring of pump, but can destroy when using reactive chemicals to clean.In fact, can control and monitor flowing of chemical formulation of the present invention in watch-keeping cubicle own from the chemical plant.Beat all is to see after the cleaning that the internal interface of equipment is bordering on new installation.Their surface is very clean, if during mild steel, will form surface film oxide fast.
Purging method of the present invention almost can be used for (if not whole words) any hydrocarbon processing equipment system.For example, use the inventive method, those skilled in the art can selective extraction agent and tensio-active agent (as using), can clean any apparatus system of tradition oil refining and hydrocarbon processing industry.This system for example includes, but is not limited to crude distillation system, viscosity breaking system, hydroeracking unit, hydrotreater (comprising reactor), fluid catalytic cracking system (except cracking unit itself), delayed coking system, ethene thermal cracker, amine treatment system and other utility appliance.For example, aforesaid device system all has auxiliary heat exchanger, and some uses direct heat oven, is listed as crude still.If use the high temperature, hydrocarbon treatment facility, will form coke, the inventive method unexpectedly can effectively be removed the coke in well heater and the equipment.
In petroleum refining industry, according to the raw material of processing and the procedure of processing of oil refining process employing, conventional oil refining process starts from the crude preheater that heat exchanger and process furnace are housed, and enters atmospheric distillation tower then and obtains straight run gasoline, passes through several processing unitss subsequently.Up to the present, these equipment or clean with the acid of aforesaid severe corrosive, or the back of stopping work uses suitable purging method to remove pollutent respectively.Unexpectedly, the inventive method is injected cleaning solution by opening for feed and is made its channel cycle along the hydrocarbon stream warp in device systems, can remove the pollutent in the equipment, makes the maintainer can go maintenance safely.Certainly, other position that also can the slave unit system adds cleaning solution, from the products export of this device systems or arbitrarily other suitable position reclaim cleaning solution.Solution is circulation time at elevated temperatures, and pollutent is caught and removed in extraction agent and tensio-active agent vaporization access arrangement and condensation.
A very big advantage of purging method of the present invention is that it can optionally clean whole processing unit system or only clean wherein arbitrary portion equipment.In brief, step of the present invention starts from during the break-down maintenance of refining of petroleum factory, petroleum chemical plant etc., earlier whole shop equipment is stopped work and emptying around here.Generally speaking, still just carried out emptying in the heat, non-imposedly with the flushing of hydrocarbon matter hydrocarbon solvent, removed solvable hydrocarbon subsequently at processing unit.The water that adds capacity in technological process apparatus, cleaning solution cycles through the pump of technological process apparatus to be cleaned, preferably process pump provides head in order to be used to make.The speed that cycles through this device systems preferably makes it be eddy current.According to equipment and the size that is used to finish the round-robin pump, this flow velocity is generally 500-5,000 gallon per minute.Preferred flow velocity is about 800-about 1,400 gallon per minute.Too low as flow velocity, the pollutent of carrying under one's arms may settle.Add and can not lack fluid when the water yield in this equipment to be cleaned generally should be enough to make pump to be operated owing to import under the flow velocity of hope the empty phenomenon in whirlpool takes place at pump.The water yield that adds be generally technological process apparatus internal system volume to be cleaned about 5% to about 25% volume, be preferably about 10% to about 18% volume.
Make water cycle subsequently, and, heat the entire equipment system by in device systems, injecting water vapor (promptly inject generally speaking, inject to the space of device systems again) to water.Based on selecting heating means easily to the experience of concrete equipment accumulation.The benefit of this type of heating is to have heated the entire equipment system of technical process, comprise that (shell side and tube side all can be heated heat exchanger, if they all are present in the technical process), heating reaches about 160 °F to about 270 °F until device temperature, preferred 185 °F to about 225 °F.For heating, steam temperature is the highest can to reach about 375 °F.In water vapor, add extraction agent as herein described and tensio-active agent then, and it is vaporized in device systems, last extraction agent and tensio-active agent condensation are in the internal surface of device systems, and, be preferably about 8 hours or until removing pollutent with the water time enough that in the whole process flow device systems, circulates of process pump with heating.When having found that the first round cleans, cycling time be about 6-about 16 hours generally just enough.In working cycle, can use currently known methods to measure the emulsifying agent activity of solution.If activity reduces, perhaps there has not been activity, can make it have emulsifying activity again by adding extraction agent and/or tensio-active agent again, perhaps replace with the aqueous solution new, that heated fully.
Measure the emulsifying agent promoting agent under the situation that adds the known quantity tensio-active agent, the active degree that reduces can show the degree of cleaning.In case show that cleaning is thorough, just discharge the logistics in the whole process flow equipment, and use water rinse.
Except bigger solid particulate, the pollutent of removing is maintained in the aqueous emulsion, can adopt currently known methods to use emulsion splitter that water and hydrocarbon and solid are separated.Because benzene---the most troubling a kind of pollutent-be water miscible, it must be extracted from water and collects.The water that the hydrocarbon of removing can deliver in the household waste jar of refinery, reclaim can be delivered in the biological tank, carries out a biological disposal upon.
If handle relatively large big solid particulate, be preferably in a certain flushing place and connect circulation filter, the solid particulate in the circulate soln is told, make circulate soln be divided into knocking-on thing (knock-down) and filtrate.For protection factory technics process pump, should remove the particle of particle diameter greater than 40 μ.Be to use outside pump to circulate if not using process pump, preferred embodiment also is to remove big solid particulate, will not be very necessary but remove this particle.
Thereby the inventive method has solved the whole issue of cleaning equipment system of factory, and available safe disposal methods solid in factory, hydrocarbon can be passed in the waste canister or in the API sludge; Can from water, extract the volatile hydrocarbon that comprises benzene and be adsorbed on the carrier as gac; Water after the extraction can be handled in factory's biological tank.So far, when using prior art method cleaning processing equipment inner, still residual many harmful wastes, particularly be the gasiform nuisance, need other processing, and can not eliminate operator and be exposed to danger in the deleterious benzene.
Compare with the prior art method, use the invention described above step can almost thoroughly clean whole processing unit system-within a short period of time, can keep standard simultaneously the strict safety of cleaning personnel to product storage tank with fresh feed pump.Compare with matting that has earlier or water vapor purging method, for the hydrocarbon treatment system, purging method of the present invention can make the time decreased of whole break-down maintenance about 3 days.
During such break-down maintenance, the remaining carcinogens as benzene, dimethylbenzene, toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons and fat hydrocarbon usually pollutes factory.With the existence of various these gases of device monitoring, health has been set the human upper limit of concentration that can contact and can be discharged in the atmosphere respectively with environmental standard.Therefore, in work with before the serviceman enters in these equipment, must remove these carcinogenss.Other purging method and even used the trial of tensio-active agent to fail to solve the problem that these volatile organisms bring.
This processing unit system is furnished with utility appliance usually, can in them, add temperature and be about 211 °F to about 375 °F, preferred 215 °F to about 350 steam and keep the regular hour, make vapor condensation on the surface of these containers, device, pipeline and heat exchanger and all processing units, lip-deep pollutent is washed away to the position that can collect pollutent.Also can be directly in water water filling steam heat.In the present invention's practice, can reclaim wash fluid in the processing unit terminal of collecting product usually.In order to collect remaining pollutent, need water and tensio-active agent to clean once more usually.The equipment and the water vapor that are preferred for heated solution also are used to inject extraction agent (preferably being added with tensio-active agent) steam.Extraction agent can be added in the tower with water vapor, perhaps add in any technological process apparatus, here extraction agent is vaporized in water vapor and is carried under one's arms and enters in the processing unit, flows in the internal surface of these equipment and in these equipment with the water vapor condensation.Effect driving solution with pump flows along technical process, contacts the also surface of developing technique equipment with pollutent, thereby removes pollutent.
Extraction agent can add in the water vapor, in the injection device system or add in the recirculated water.Other method is at the bottom of the tower and the lower of processing unit is collected water and water cycle is returned the device systems, at the water vapor of position injection easily recirculated water is heated to about 160 °F to about 270 °F, preferred about 185 °F to about 210 °F simultaneously, add extraction agent then in recirculated water, making extraction agent concentration is about 0.10%-about 7% volume, preferred 1.5%-about 5% volume.
Extraction agent is selected from those to desiring to remove the extraction agent that pollutent has avidity.The standard of selecting is to desire to remove the solubleness of pollutent in extraction agent, the vapour pressure and the boiling point of extraction agent, make its boiling point in the scope of steam temperature, make extraction agent be preferably in water vapor condensation before condensation on the metallic surface or in the metal slit, when water of condensation is flowed with meet along equipment mobile solution, come the internal surface of cleaning equipment.Extraction agent should be nontoxic and not dangerous, the extraction agent of selecting should have high-vapor-pressure or its boiling point in the temperature range of the water vapor that concrete factory uses, when injecting with water vapor, boiling point is preferably in about 212 °F to about 375 °F, preferred about 275 °F to about 350 °F.Thereby extraction agent has enough vapor partial pressures under cleaning condition.
Have the preferred victory of avidity to get agent to dirt common in the hydrocarbon processing equipment system and pollutent and comprise various terpenes, for example comprise kautschin, limonene, cajeputene, terpenes, Oils, bergamot peel, Herba Erodii oil, pamorusa oil, oleum anethi,

Punt-pole seed oil etc. and relevant terpene such as hemiterpene (isopentene), sesquiterpene (caryophyllene), diterpene and polyterpene.Preferred extraction agent is limonene, particularly d one limonene.Also can use the mixture of several extraction agents that satisfy above-mentioned standard.As long as can select this mixture and definite relative proportion to the simple experiment of the avidity of pollutent with Vapor pressure data table and mensuration extract.
Those skilled in the art also can select the tensio-active agent that suits.The standard of boiling point and vapour pressure is identical with the said extracted agent, promptly is up to about 375 °F so that tensio-active agent almost with the condensation simultaneously of water vapor and extraction agent.Like this, the all components that cleans system can enter all metal gaps and whole processing unit internal system (gap that comprises dirt pollutent matrix), destroy dirt and pollutent is carried under one's arms in the solution (microemulsion), remove headachy pollutent, particularly as the volatile organism of benzene.So far, also there is not a kind of method of using not Hazardous substances accessible, that environment and process seal equipment, particularly pump seal are not had a damage to clean whole processing unit system.Do not have a kind of method that can remove harmful VOC, particularly benzene safely, make staff's access arrangement maintenance safely.Great advantages of the present invention is that it can not only remove pollutent and can clean whole processing unit system (from the material inlet to the products export) in single job.
The tensio-active agent of selecting can be anionic, cationic, amphoteric or non-ionic, perhaps a few class surfactant mixtures, but, according to the extraction agent of pollutent to be removed, use and in the rinse solution of vapor condensation formation or the relative quantity in the circulation flushing water, those skilled in the art can know concrete selection way.The HLB of the tensio-active agent of selecting (hydrophilic/lyophily oil balance) should be 6-18, it is about 7.5-12 to be preferably, so that the present invention has best effect.The feature of the tensio-active agent of these types is known, and they comprise chemical compound lot.According to the different process flow sheet equipment system of cleaning with the inventive method, can select many tensio-active agents and/or emulsifying agent to be used for the present invention's practice.
Preferred surfactants is selected from the alkylphenol of ethoxyquin, and wherein average band is had an appointment and 6 contained 8-10 carbon atoms to about 12 moles of ethylene oxide unit, alkyl on every mole of alkylphenol.Another preferred ingredient is that molecular weight is about oxyethane/oxypropylene block copolymer of 1,500-about 2,500 in the surfactant mixture.In particularly preferred embodiments, the 3rd component is the alkanolamide of lipid acid, and generally what buy is 50/50 mixture of it and linear alkyl benzene sulfonate from commercial.In essential scope of the present invention, many variations can be arranged, their component and proportion of composing thereof can change.The composition of above-mentioned substance is used in particular for and preferred extraction agent is that terpene, particularly d-limonene forms stable microemulsion shape liquid.Said mixture has high volatility number, and they can be used for removing many different pollutents in the hydrocarbon processing equipment system.
Above-mentioned a few class surfactant mixtures can be used, particularly under the situation of using extraction agent and tensio-active agent premixture, good effect can be obtained.The microemulsion of normally several extraction agents of this pre-composition and tensio-active agent.For prolong as uniform fluid, normally discontinuous water the successive terpene mutually in shelf-time of microemulsion of formation, need several tensio-active agents usually.Certainly, in the presence of big water gaging, will the turning around mutually of milk sap.The injection rate of such mixture is about 0.2 pound-about 0.4 pound of/pound water vapor, be preferably about 0.25 pound-about 0.33 pound of/pound water vapor.When joining in the circulating fluid, above-mentioned injection rate can make extraction agent and the tensio-active agent that has significant quantity in the fluid, and that its concentration is generally is about 0.1%-and about 7%, be preferably 1.5%-about 5%, more preferably about 2%-about 4%.Emulsifying effect to pollutent is an important index of the present invention, and those skilled in the art are after understanding pollutent and this paper explanation, and an outline is done experiment, just can select suitable mixture.
