Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The heat exchanger scaling costs a lot every year, and in severe cases, the safety production is affected. Fouling of a heat exchanger refers to the gradual build-up of solid material on the surface of a solid in which the heat exchanger is in contact with unclean fluid. The influence of scaling on heat exchange equipment mainly comprises: the dirt layer has very low heat conductivity coefficient, so that heat transfer resistance is increased, and heat transfer efficiency of heat exchange equipment is reduced; when the surface of the heat exchange equipment is formed with the scale formation, the flow area of a fluid channel in the heat exchange equipment is reduced, so that the resistance of the fluid flowing through the equipment is increased, more pump power is consumed, and the production cost is increased.
According to the mechanism of deposition of the fouling layer, fouling can be classified into particulate fouling, crystalline fouling, chemically reactive fouling, corrosive fouling, biological fouling, and the like.
1. Particle fouling: accumulation of solid particles suspended in a fluid on heat exchange surfaces. Such fouling also includes the deposition of a layer of larger solid particles on the horizontal heat exchange surfaces by gravity, so-called precipitated fouling and other colloidal particles.
2. Crystalline fouling: the inorganic salts dissolved in the fluid crystallize on the heat exchange surfaces to form deposits, which usually occur upon over-saturation or cooling. Typical fouling is the cooling water side of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and silica scale layer.
3. Fouling by chemical reaction: fouling resulting from chemical reactions occurring on the heat transfer surface, the heat transfer surface material does not participate in the reaction, but can act as a catalyst for the chemical reaction.
4. Corrosion and fouling: the fluid is corrosive or contains corrosive impurities to corrode the heat exchange surface to produce fouling. Generally, the degree of corrosion depends on the composition of the fluid, the temperature, and the pH of the fluid being treated.
5. Biofouling: with the exception of seawater cooling devices, biofouling is generally referred to as microbial fouling. It may produce slime which in turn provides conditions for the propagation of biofouling, which is very temperature sensitive and which under moderate temperature conditions can produce a fouling layer of considerable thickness.
6. Solidification of dirt: fouling due to solidification of fluid on the super cooled heat exchange surface. For example, when water is below freezing point and freezes to ice on the heat exchange surfaces. Whether the temperature distribution is uniform or not greatly affects such fouling.
As can be seen from the above, there are various causes for the heat exchanger fouling, and long-term observation and practice of the inventor find that crystalline fouling, which forms deposits by crystallization of inorganic salts on the heat exchanger surfaces, is one of the important causes for the heat exchanger fouling, and among them, calcium sulfate is the most common and large in amount and the most difficult to remove.
In order to remove calcium sulfate crystals in heat exchanger scaling quickly and effectively without equipment corrosion and with low cleaning energy consumption, the invention provides a special neutral cleaning agent for calcium sulfate, which mainly comprises a base agent, an auxiliary agent and a pH regulator, wherein the base agent comprises at least one of EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), sodium salt of EDTA and sodium glycol glycolate, the auxiliary agent comprises at least one of carbonate and citrate, the mass ratio of the base agent to the auxiliary agent is 1: 1-5: 1, and the pH value of the heat exchanger scaling cleaning agent is 6.5-7.5. The cleaning agent is a special neutral cleaning agent which can dissolve calcium sulfate at a non-high temperature by a one-step method. The cleaning agent does not need high-temperature reaction, most of calcium sulfate in scaling can be cleaned and removed at normal temperature, and the cleaning agent has no corrosivity on heat exchanger equipment.

The scale sample cannot be dissolved due to too low proportion of the cleaning agent, and the reagent is wasted due to too high proportion of the cleaning agent.
The embodiment of the invention provides a heat exchanger scaling cleaning agent, which is a special neutral cleaning agent for calcium sulfate, and because the main substance in heat exchanger scaling is calcium sulfate, but the calcium sulfate is insoluble in water, ethanol and most organic solvents, the difficulty in removing the calcium sulfate scale is greatly increased, the existing methods of conversion descaling, direct dissolution descaling and the like still have the outstanding problems of complex operation, equipment corrosion, high cleaning energy consumption and the like. And the addition of the auxiliary agent can accelerate the reaction speed of EDTA and calcium sulfate, and the pH value of the cleaning agent is controlled to be close to neutral, so that on one hand, stable calcium salt can be generated, and more importantly, the cleaning agent basically cannot corrode equipment under the neutral condition, and compared with the existing method for soaking and descaling under the acid-base condition, the corrosion effect of cleaning on the equipment is greatly reduced.

In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for using the above cleaning agent for fouling of a heat exchanger, which includes: and adding the heat exchanger scaling cleaning agent into the scaled heat exchanger to clean the heat exchanger.
In an optional embodiment, during cleaning, a scale sample of the heat exchanger, which is scaled, is taken firstly, the content of calcium ions in the scale sample is analyzed, and the dosage of the heat exchanger cleaning agent is determined according to the content of the calcium ions in the scale sample.
In an optional embodiment, the molar ratio of the heat exchanger fouling cleaning agent to calcium ions in the heat exchanger fouling is 5: 1-1: 1.
In an alternative embodiment, the washing is performed at 50-70 ℃.

Aiming at serious blockage of a circulating cooling water heat exchanger tube bundle of a certain chemical device, field scale sample analysis is carried out, 99% of the circulating cooling water heat exchanger tube bundle is calcium sulfate precipitate, the heat exchanger tube bundle is made of industrial pure titanium, TA2, and a shell is made of 304L. The cleaning agent prepared in the patent is used for cleaning calcium sulfate scale samples, and a 304L test piece and a TA2 test piece are added to test whether the cleaning agent corrodes two materials or not.
The test conditions are as follows: the cleaning agent prepared by the method of the invention; scale sample preparation: calcium sulfate scale samples taken out of the on-site heat exchanger; temperature: at 60 ℃. The test procedure was as follows:
1. preparing 1L of cleaning agent;
2. taking 20g of scale sample, directly putting the scale sample into a three-neck flask without crushing;
3. polishing 304L and TA2 test pieces, cleaning, drying, weighing, and respectively putting into two three-neck flasks with the same mass of scale samples;

and (3) test results: a small amount of calcium sulfate solid remained in both flasks, the remaining dissolution rate is shown in Table 1, the surfaces of 304L and TA2 have no obvious corrosion morphology, and the corrosion rate is shown in Table 2.
TABLE 1 dissolution rate of calcium sulfate solids
Numbering Original solid mass (g) Mass of remaining solid (g) Dissolution rate (%)
Flask 1 20.00 2.30 88.5
Flask 2 20.00 2.16 89.2
TABLE 2 Corrosion rates of two materials
Material of Weight before reaction (g) Weight after reaction (g) Corrosion Rate (mm/a)
304L 7.81783 7.81016 0.0022
TA2 4.52538 4.52519 0.0001
From the above tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the descaling cleaning agent for heat exchangers provided in the embodiment 1 of the present invention can dissolve calcium sulfate solids well, the dissolution rate is close to 90%, and meanwhile, the corrosion effect of 304L and TA2 added in the cleaning process is very small, and the corrosion rate is very low.
Application example
When the titanium heat exchanger is used specifically, when a certain refinery is overhauled, the inside of the titanium heat exchanger is seriously blocked, a scale sample is taken for analysis, and the main component is CaSO4The cleaning agent disclosed by the invention is added, the heat exchanger is sealed, the heat exchanger is soaked for 48 hours at the temperature of 60 ℃, the heat exchanger is opened, flowing clear water is used for cleaning the interior of the heat exchanger, more than 90% of scale samples are completely removed, and no obvious corrosion trace exists on the surface of the titanium heat exchanger.
Comparative example 1
Different from the composition of the cleaning agent of the invention. The composition of the cleaning agent is hydrochloric acid and ammonium bicarbonate, and the result is that: because the cleaning agent does not contain a base agent, calcium ions in the calcium sulfate cannot be complexed, and the calcium sulfate can be dissolved, but the hydrochloric acid which needs to be used has high concentration and large usage amount, so that the material of the device is corroded.
Comparative example 2
Similar to the procedure of example 1, except that: the auxiliary agent component in the cleaning agent is replaced by sodium sulfate, and the result is that: after the same soaking time, the dissolution rate of calcium sulfate was greatly reduced to only 67% (due to the reduced reaction rate, the dissolution rate of calcium sulfate was reduced in the same time).
Comparative example 3
Similar to the procedure of example 1, except that: the absence of a pH modifier in the cleaner resulted in: the pH of the cleaner was more basic and the corrosion rates of carbon steel, stainless steel and TA2 were all increased over those of example 5.
Comparative example 4
Similar to the procedure of example 1, except that: the ratio of base agent to adjuvant was 10:1, the result was: after the soaking for the same time, the dissolution rate of the calcium sulfate is greatly reduced to 73.2 percent.
Comparative example 5
Similar to the procedure of example 1, except that: the ratio of the base agent to the auxiliary agent is 1:10, and the result is that: after the soaking for the same time, the dissolution rate of the calcium sulfate is greatly reduced to only 23.7 percent.
The auxiliary agent is replaced by sodium sulfate, or the proportion of the base agent and the auxiliary agent is changed, so that the dissolution rate of calcium sulfate is reduced, and the complex reaction cannot be effectively accelerated.
The addition of carbonate increases the reaction kinetics of EDTA to calcium sulfate sequestration. The greater reaction kinetics are due to the greater solubility equilibrium of the reaction products. Taking sodium carbonate as an example:
2CaSO4+2Na3HEDTA+Na2CO3=2CaNaEDTA+2Na2SO4+H2CO3
the generation of carbonic acid by the reaction, released from the solution, will effectively promote the reaction to move to the right, i.e. promote the dissolution of calcium sulfate by EDTA/EDTA sodium salt. The addition of carbonate does not increase the dissolving power of EDTA, but increases the reaction speed.
