本発明は有機付着物の除去方法に関する。詳しくは、本発明は、芳香族炭化水素を含む流体との接触により機器に付着した有機物を主体とする付着物、例えば、石油化学プラントにおける芳香族炭化水素を含むガス（分解ガソリン）を水添脱硫装置の前後で熱交換するためのプレート型熱交換器の内面に付着した有機物主体の付着物を、効率的に洗浄除去する方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for removing organic deposits. More specifically, the present invention hydrogenates deposits mainly composed of organic substances attached to equipment by contact with a fluid containing aromatic hydrocarbons, for example, gas containing aromatic hydrocarbons (cracked gasoline) in a petrochemical plant. The present invention relates to a method for efficiently washing and removing organic matter-based deposits adhering to the inner surface of a plate heat exchanger for exchanging heat before and after a desulfurization apparatus.
石油化学プラント等の各種のプラントでは、運転を継続することにより、ボイラ、熱交換器等の伝熱面や蒸発面、配管内面等に汚れが付着して熱交換効率の低下、差圧上昇による流通阻害、機器腐食等の障害を引き起こす。例えば、石油化学プラントの水添脱硫装置では、その前段で分解ガソリンを加熱し、後段で反応生成物を冷却するための熱交換器が設けられているが、この熱交換器、特に前段の熱交換器では、芳香族炭化水素を含むガス（分解ガソリン）を熱交換するため、その伝熱面に有機物を主体とする黒色ないし灰色の付着物が付着し、安定運転を阻害する原因となる。このため、このような付着物を除去するために、定期的に又は必要に応じてプラントの運転を停止して機器内部を洗浄することにより、これらの付着物を除去する必要がある。 In various plants such as petrochemical plants, by continuing operation, dirt adheres to the heat transfer surface, evaporation surface, piping inner surface, etc. of boilers, heat exchangers, etc. It causes troubles such as distribution interruption and equipment corrosion. For example, a hydrodesulfurization apparatus of a petrochemical plant is provided with a heat exchanger for heating cracked gasoline at the front stage and cooling the reaction product at the rear stage. In the exchanger, gas (cracked gasoline) containing aromatic hydrocarbons is subjected to heat exchange, so black or gray deposits mainly composed of organic substances adhere to the heat transfer surface, which may hinder stable operation. For this reason, in order to remove such deposits, it is necessary to remove the deposits by stopping the operation of the plant periodically and as necessary to clean the inside of the equipment.
従来、石油化学プラントの機器等に付着した汚れを除去するために、一般的には酸による洗浄が行われている。また、アニオン性界面活性剤及び非イオン性界面活性剤と芳香族炭化水素及び／又はナフテン炭化水素を含む洗浄剤組成物を用いて洗浄する方法（特許文献１）、Ｎ−メチルピロリドン等の特定の比誘電率及び双極子モーメントの有機物を主成分とする洗浄剤で洗浄する方法（特許文献２）、粉末重曹等の噴射素材を噴射させて付着物を除去する方法（特許文献３）なども提案されている。 Conventionally, in order to remove dirt adhering to equipment of a petrochemical plant, washing with an acid is generally performed. Also, a method of cleaning using a cleaning composition containing an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant and an aromatic hydrocarbon and / or a naphthene hydrocarbon (Patent Document 1), identification of N-methylpyrrolidone, etc. A method of cleaning with a cleaning agent mainly composed of an organic substance having a relative dielectric constant and a dipole moment (Patent Document 2), a method of spraying a spray material such as powdered sodium bicarbonate (Patent Document 3), etc. Proposed.
芳香族炭化水素を含むガス（分解ガソリン）の熱交換で熱交換器内面に付着した付着物は、有機物を主体とし、通常の酸には難溶のものであり、このような付着物については有効な洗浄手段がなく、従来の酸洗浄やその他の洗浄方法では十分な除去効果が得られなかった。このため、付着物によって差圧上昇等の障害が生じた場合には、熱交換器本体を交換することとなり、機器本体の交換のために多大な費用がかかっていた。 Deposits adhered to the inner surface of the heat exchanger by heat exchange of gas containing aromatic hydrocarbons (cracked gasoline) are mainly organic matter and are hardly soluble in ordinary acids. There is no effective cleaning means, and the conventional acid cleaning and other cleaning methods cannot provide a sufficient removal effect. For this reason, when troubles such as a differential pressure increase occur due to the deposits, the heat exchanger main body is replaced, and a large cost is required for replacing the apparatus main body.
本発明は、芳香族炭化水素を含む流体との接触によって機器に付着した有機物を主体とする付着物を効率的に化学洗浄して除去する方法を提供することを課題とする。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for efficiently removing chemical deposits mainly composed of organic matter deposited on equipment by contact with a fluid containing aromatic hydrocarbons.
本発明者は、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、有機付着物の酸洗浄に先立ち、酸化処理を行うことにより、有機物を主体とする付着物を効率的に洗浄除去することができることを見出した。
本発明はこのような知見に基いて達成されたものであり、以下の［１］〜［６］を要旨とする。

For this reason, in a heat exchanger or the like installed before and / or after a hydrodesulfurization apparatus of a petrochemical plant, the inner surface of the equipment is cleaned with inexpensive cleaning means without replacing the equipment such as the heat exchanger. The performance can be recovered by washing, and the running cost can be greatly reduced.
以下に本発明の有機付着物の除去方法を詳細に説明する。 The organic deposit removal method of the present invention will be described in detail below.
本発明の有機付着物の除去方法は、芳香族炭化水素を含む流体との接触によって機器に付着した有機物を主体とする有機付着物を該機器から除去する方法であって、該有機付着物を酸化処理した後、酸と接触させる酸洗浄を行うことを特徴とする。 The organic deposit removal method of the present invention is a method for removing organic deposits mainly composed of organic matter adhering to a device by contact with a fluid containing an aromatic hydrocarbon from the device, wherein the organic deposit is removed from the device. After the oxidation treatment, it is characterized by performing an acid cleaning in contact with an acid.
本発明で除去対象とする、芳香族炭化水素を含む流体との接触によって機器に付着した有機物を主体とする有機付着物、例えば、石油化学プラントの水添脱硫装置の前段に設置されたプレート式熱交換器の伝熱面であるプレートに付着した有機付着物の成分分析結果は、下記表１に示す通りであり、この有機付着物は、カーボン（Ｃ）を主体とし、他に鉄（Ｆｅ）、硫化物（Ｓ）などを含むものである。 Organic deposits mainly composed of organic matter deposited on equipment by contact with a fluid containing aromatic hydrocarbons to be removed in the present invention, for example, a plate type installed in the front stage of a hydrodesulfurization apparatus of a petrochemical plant The component analysis results of organic deposits attached to the plate, which is the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger, are as shown in Table 1 below. The organic deposits are mainly composed of carbon (C), and in addition to iron (Fe ), Sulfide (S) and the like.
本発明においては、このような有機付着物をまず酸化処理し、その後酸と接触させる酸洗浄を行う。 In the present invention, such organic deposits are first oxidized and then acid cleaning is performed in contact with an acid.
有機付着物の酸化処理は、酸化剤を有機付着物に接触させることにより行うことができる。この酸化剤としては、有機付着物の酸化作用を有するものであればよく、特に制限はないが、例えば、過マンガン酸、過マンガン酸カリウム、過マンガン酸ナトリウム等の過マンガン酸塩（以下、過マンガン酸及び／又は過マンガン酸塩を「過マンガン酸（塩）」と称す場合がある）、オゾン等の酸化性ガスなどの１種又は２種以上を用いることができる。これらのうち、取り扱い性、酸化効果等の面で過マンガン酸（塩）を用いることが好ましく、過マンガン酸（塩）は、好ましくは０．５〜１０重量％、より好ましくは１〜５重量％の水溶液として用いることができる。過マンガン酸（塩）溶液の過マンガン酸（塩）濃度が低過ぎると十分な酸化作用が得られず、高過ぎると不経済である。 The oxidation treatment of the organic deposit can be performed by bringing an oxidizing agent into contact with the organic deposit. The oxidizing agent is not particularly limited as long as it has an oxidizing action on organic deposits. For example, permanganate (hereinafter referred to as permanganate) such as permanganic acid, potassium permanganate, sodium permanganate, etc. Permanganic acid and / or permanganate may be referred to as “permanganic acid (salt)”), or one or more oxidizing gases such as ozone may be used. Among these, it is preferable to use permanganic acid (salt) in terms of handleability, oxidation effect, etc., and permanganic acid (salt) is preferably 0.5 to 10% by weight, more preferably 1 to 5% by weight. % Aqueous solution. If the permanganic acid (salt) concentration of the permanganic acid (salt) solution is too low, sufficient oxidation cannot be obtained, and if it is too high, it is uneconomical.
また、有機付着物の酸化処理時には、酸化剤と共にアルカリを併用することが好ましく、アルカリを用いることにより、以下のような効果が奏される。即ち、有機付着物が硫化物などの硫黄成分を含む場合、次工程の酸洗浄における酸性条件下で、硫化水素を発生させる問題があるが、酸化処理時にアルカリを併用することにより、酸化剤による硫黄の酸化で生成した硫酸を予めアルカリで中和して、酸洗浄工程における硫化水素の発生を抑制することができる。 Moreover, it is preferable to use an alkali together with an oxidizing agent during the oxidation treatment of the organic deposit, and the following effects can be achieved by using the alkali. That is, when the organic deposit contains a sulfur component such as sulfide, there is a problem of generating hydrogen sulfide under acidic conditions in the acid cleaning of the next step. The generation of hydrogen sulfide in the acid cleaning step can be suppressed by previously neutralizing the sulfuric acid produced by the oxidation of sulfur with an alkali.
このアルカリとしては、水酸化カリウム、水酸化ナトリウム等の無機アルカリを用いることができる。アルカリを酸化剤溶液に添加して用いる場合、例えば過マンガン酸（塩）溶液等の酸化剤溶液中のアルカリ濃度は１０重量％以下、特に３〜７重量％程度であることが好ましい。アルカリ濃度が低過ぎると上記のアルカリによる中和効果を十分に得ることができず、高過ぎると不経済である。 As this alkali, inorganic alkalis such as potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide can be used. When an alkali is used by adding it to an oxidant solution, for example, the alkali concentration in the oxidant solution such as permanganic acid (salt) solution is preferably 10% by weight or less, particularly about 3 to 7% by weight. If the alkali concentration is too low, the neutralization effect by the alkali cannot be sufficiently obtained, and if it is too high, it is uneconomical.
有機付着物の酸化処理条件としては特に制限はないが、処理温度、即ち、酸化剤溶液、好ましくはアルカリを含む酸化剤溶液の温度は常温〜１００℃、特に７０〜８０℃であることが好ましい。処理温度が高い程酸化効果が向上し、有機付着物の除去効率が高められるが、加熱コストや取り扱い性等の面で処理温度は上記上限以下とすることが好ましい。また、酸化処理時間は、有機付着物の付着状況によっても異なるが、通常１〜１０時間程度、好ましくは１〜６時間程度である。処理時間を徒に長くしても、それ以上の処理効果の向上は認められない場合が多く、非効率である。 There are no particular limitations on the conditions for the oxidation treatment of organic deposits, but the treatment temperature, that is, the temperature of the oxidant solution, preferably the oxidant solution containing alkali, is preferably from room temperature to 100 ° C, particularly preferably from 70 to 80 ° C. . The higher the treatment temperature, the better the oxidation effect and the higher the organic deposit removal efficiency. However, the treatment temperature is preferably set to the upper limit or less in terms of heating cost, handleability and the like. The oxidation treatment time is usually about 1 to 10 hours, preferably about 1 to 6 hours, although it varies depending on the state of adhesion of organic deposits. Even if the treatment time is prolonged, there are many cases where further improvement of the treatment effect is not recognized, which is inefficient.
酸化処理は、具体的には、前述の酸化剤溶液、好ましくはアルカリを含む酸化剤溶液を、所定の温度に加熱して、有機付着物の除去処理を行う機器に流通させることにより行われる。 Specifically, the oxidation treatment is performed by heating the above-described oxidant solution, preferably an oxidant solution containing an alkali, to a predetermined temperature and circulating it through an apparatus for removing organic deposits.
上記酸化処理後の酸洗浄に用いる酸としては、従来、一般的な機器の酸洗浄に用いられている酸を用いることができ、例えば、クエン酸、グリコール酸、シュウ酸等の有機酸や、スルファミン酸等のハロゲンを含まない無機酸が挙げられる。ハロゲンを含む無機酸の場合、応力腐食割れの懸念があり、好ましくない。これらの酸は１種を単独で用いてもよく、２種以上を併用してもよい。これらのうち、特に洗浄除去効果の点でシュウ酸を用いることが好ましい。 As the acid used for the acid cleaning after the oxidation treatment, acids conventionally used for acid cleaning of general equipment can be used, for example, organic acids such as citric acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, Inorganic acids that do not contain halogen, such as sulfamic acid. In the case of an inorganic acid containing a halogen, there is a concern of stress corrosion cracking, which is not preferable. These acids may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together. Among these, it is preferable to use oxalic acid particularly in terms of the cleaning removal effect.
酸洗浄は、上記の酸の水溶液を用いて行われる。酸洗浄に用いる酸溶液の酸濃度は、０．５〜２０重量％、特に０．５〜１０重量％程度であることが好ましい。この酸濃度が低過ぎると十分な洗浄効果が得られず、高過ぎると、機器材料の腐食が著しく増加するおそれがある。 The acid cleaning is performed using the aqueous acid solution described above. The acid concentration of the acid solution used for the acid cleaning is preferably about 0.5 to 20% by weight, particularly about 0.5 to 10% by weight. If the acid concentration is too low, a sufficient cleaning effect cannot be obtained, and if it is too high, corrosion of the equipment material may be remarkably increased.
酸洗浄条件としては、特に制限はないが、処理温度、即ち、酸溶液の温度は常温〜１００℃、特に５０〜６０℃であることが好ましい。処理温度が高い方が洗浄効果に優れる傾向があるが、過度に高いと使用蒸気量やその廃液が増加し、不経済である。 The acid cleaning conditions are not particularly limited, but the treatment temperature, that is, the temperature of the acid solution is preferably from room temperature to 100 ° C, particularly from 50 to 60 ° C. The higher the treatment temperature, the better the cleaning effect. However, when the treatment temperature is excessively high, the amount of steam used and its waste liquid increase, which is uneconomical.
また、酸洗浄時間は、有機付着物の付着状況によっても異なるが、通常１〜６時間程度、好ましくは１〜２時間程度である。処理時間が徒に長くても処理効果には大差がない場合がある。 The acid cleaning time is usually about 1 to 6 hours, preferably about 1 to 2 hours, although it varies depending on the state of adhesion of organic deposits. Even if the processing time is long, there may be no significant difference in processing effect.
酸洗浄は、具体的には、前述の酸溶液を所定の温度に加熱して酸化処理後の機器に流通させることにより行われる。 Specifically, the acid cleaning is performed by heating the acid solution described above to a predetermined temperature and circulating it through the equipment after the oxidation treatment.
上記の酸化処理と酸洗浄を行うことにより、有機付着物を効果的に洗浄除去することができるが、１回の酸化処理と酸洗浄では有機付着物が残留する場合には、酸化処理と酸洗浄を２回以上、例えば２〜３回程度繰り返し行うことが好ましい。このように、酸化処理と酸洗浄とを繰り返し行う方が、１回の酸化処理時間や酸洗浄時間を長くするよりも有機付着物の除去効果に優れる傾向にあり、有機付着物を完全に除去することも可能となる。 By performing the above-described oxidation treatment and acid cleaning, organic deposits can be effectively washed and removed. However, if organic deposits remain in one oxidation treatment and acid cleaning, the oxidation treatment and acid cleaning are performed. The washing is preferably repeated twice or more, for example, about 2 to 3 times. In this way, repeated oxidation treatment and acid cleaning tend to be more effective in removing organic deposits than extending one oxidation treatment time or acid cleaning time, and completely remove organic deposits.

In the following examples and comparative examples, by continuing the operation in the plate heat exchanger installed in the preceding stage of the hydrodesulfurization apparatus for gas (cracked gasoline) containing aromatic hydrocarbons in the petrochemical plant, Using a plate processed with organic deposits to a size of about 50 mm x 100 mm as a sample, put 150 ml of oxidation treatment solution or acid cleaning solution into a beaker, and immerse the sample in this solution for testing. It was. The analysis result of the organic deposit of this sample is as shown in Table 1 above. The removal effect of the organic deposits was evaluated by visually observing the surface of the sample after the treatment and by the following criteria.
A: No organic deposit remained, and the organic deposit was completely removed.
○: Organic deposits were clearly reduced, and the deposit removal effect was observed.
X: There was no change in the external appearance of the organic deposit, and the removal effect was not recognized.
［実施例１］
過マンガン酸カリウム１．５重量％と水酸化カリウム３．５重量％を含む水溶液を酸化処理液として用い、１０重量％スルファミン酸水溶液を酸洗浄液として用いた。
８０℃に加熱した酸化処理液にサンプルを６時間浸漬した後、引き上げ、次いで６０℃に加熱した酸洗浄液中に６時間浸漬した後、引き上げ、除去効果を調べ、結果を表２に示した。
[Example 1]
An aqueous solution containing 1.5% by weight of potassium permanganate and 3.5% by weight of potassium hydroxide was used as the oxidation treatment solution, and a 10% by weight sulfamic acid aqueous solution was used as the acid cleaning solution.
The sample was dipped in an oxidation treatment solution heated to 80 ° C. for 6 hours, then pulled up, then dipped in an acid cleaning solution heated to 60 ° C. for 6 hours, then examined for lifting and removal effects, and the results are shown in Table 2.
［実施例２］
酸化処理液へのサンプルの浸漬時間を１２時間としたこと以外は実施例１と同様に行って、結果を表２に示した。
[Example 2]
The procedure was the same as in Example 1 except that the immersion time of the sample in the oxidation treatment solution was 12 hours.
［実施例３］
酸洗浄液として、６０℃に加熱した１重量％シュウ酸水溶液を用い、酸洗浄液への浸漬時間を２時間としたこと以外は実施例１と同様に行って、結果を表２に示した。
[Example 3]
A 1% by weight oxalic acid aqueous solution heated to 60 ° C. was used as the acid cleaning solution, and the procedure was the same as in Example 1 except that the immersion time in the acid cleaning solution was 2 hours. The results are shown in Table 2.
［実施例４］
実施例３における酸化処理と酸洗浄とを３回繰り返して行ったときの除去効果を調べ、結果を表２に示した。
[Example 4]
The removal effect when the oxidation treatment and the acid cleaning in Example 3 were repeated three times was examined, and the results are shown in Table 2.
［比較例１］
実施例１において、酸化処理を行わなかったこと以外は実施例１と同様に行って、結果を表２に示した。
[Comparative Example 1]
In Example 1, it carried out like Example 1 except not having performed oxidation treatment, and the result was shown in Table 2.
表２より、従来の酸洗浄では除去し得ない有機付着物を、本発明によれば効率的に除去することができることが分かる。
なお、実施例１と実施例２の比較から、酸化処理時間を６時間より長くしても除去効果には大差がないことが分かる。実施例１と実施例３の比較から、酸洗浄液としてはスルファミン酸水溶液よりもシュウ酸水溶液の方が低濃度、短時間で洗浄効果が得られることが分かる。更に、実施例３と実施例４より、酸化処理と酸洗浄とを繰り返し行うことにより、有機付着物を完全に除去することができることが分かる。
Table 2 shows that organic deposits that cannot be removed by conventional acid cleaning can be efficiently removed according to the present invention.
From the comparison between Example 1 and Example 2, it can be seen that there is no significant difference in the removal effect even if the oxidation treatment time is longer than 6 hours. From the comparison between Example 1 and Example 3, it is found that the oxalic acid aqueous solution has a lower concentration and the cleaning effect can be obtained in a shorter time than the sulfamic acid aqueous solution. Furthermore, it can be seen from Example 3 and Example 4 that organic deposits can be completely removed by repeatedly performing oxidation treatment and acid cleaning.
