Definitions
- Suspended solids or scale forming compounds in the oxidized liquor can cause fouling and plugging of the shell of the process heat exchanger.
- the shell of the process heat exchanger must be designed for high pressure and high temperature and for maximum corrosion resistance. This often requires the use of expensive materials, such as nickel or titanium.
- the shell side of the heat exchanger can be designed and built for lower pressures and of less expensive materials since corrosion difliculties are minimized.
- FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic showing of a form of flash tank that can be used in the system.
- raw liquor and atmospheric air enter the system at 10 proceeding at 12 to the heat exchanger 14 from which condensate may be derived as shown. From the heat exchanger the preheated liquor or sludge proceeds to the reactor which has an inlet 16.
- the intermediate pressure in the flash tank 26 depends upon the required reactor inlet temperature. For example, if the required reactor inlet temperature is centigrade, the flash steam temperature must be higher than this or about 200 centigrade, fixing the intermediate pressure and flash tank 26 at about 15 atmospheres.
- the reactor inlet temperature at 16 is easily controlled by the temperature control valve 34 which controls steam flow to the shell side of the heat exchanger 14. If the flash steam evolved is insufficient this can be made up by supplying steam from the boiler. If excess flash steam is evolved, this excess can be directed to the steam mains for general plant use.
- the quantity of flash steam can be calculated in the usual way considering the initial temperature of the oxidized liquid and the final pressure to which this liquid is reduced or flashed.
- the oxidized liquid can generally be assumed to be water, although large quantities of dissolved salts may have some effect on the temperature-pressure relationship of the vapor of this liquid.
- the flash tank is in essence a device to separate the flash steam from the remaining liquid after pressure reduction. Design of such a tank is generally known in the art. This tank could be designed, for example, to give a liquid hold up time of 3 minutes, an upward flash steam velocity of 3-4 feet per second and could be equipped with a mesh type or baffle type of entrainment removal device in the top. The tank would also be equipped with a device to control the level of the liquid in the tank. This is a conventional device indicated at 40, and connecting the interior of the tank to the outlet, as shown in FIG. 2 in dotted lines.
- liquor and air can be mixed before admission to the heat exchanger as shown and described, liquor only can be passed through the heat exchanger and air admitted after the heat exchanger if this should become desirable.
- Oxidized liquor from the flash tank can be sent directly to post treatment as at 36, 38 as shown, or can be used for additional preheating of raw liquor if desired and convenient.
- the oxidized liquor can be flashed to an even lower temperature and the resultant flash steam evolved used for heating instead of the oxidized liquor.
- a process for the wet oxidation of raw strong liquors and sludge which include introducing the raw liquor to a heat exchanger and preheating the raw liquor, introducing the preheated raw liquor to a reactor and oxidizing the raw liquor, and conducting the oxidized liquor thence to a gas separator, introducing the oxidized liquor from the separator to a flash tank, generating steam thereby, and passing the steam through a temperature control valve back to the heat exchanger while leaving the oxidized liquor from the flash tank for post treatment separately.
