Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device intended to facilitate the filling of vertical tubes with a particulate material, in particular the loading of tubes of a chemical reactor with particles of catalyst.
- particles of a material having catalytic properties which are often in the form of small cylinders drilled axially, with a length of about 12 to 16 mm and a diameter of 9 to 16 mm.
- the present invention relates to methods and devices of the same general type, simple, effective and inexpensive to produce, used with a view to curbing the fall of particles, in particular of catalyst, when filling a tube arranged vertically. , and it aims to replace the damping systems of the prior art with organs of greater flexibility, making it possible to avoid that even particles of great friability risk of breaking when they meet them.
- the invention firstly relates to a method for facilitating the filling of a vertical tube with a solid material in the particulate state, of the type in which the particles descend by gravity into the tube in encountering obstacles in their path supported by at least one cable or the like suspended vertically in the tube, this process being characterized in that during their fall into the tube, the particles encounter at least three obstacles, which are at least for part offset laterally with respect to the axis of the tube, at least two of these obstacles being arranged in the tube at different levels.
- the invention also relates to a device for facilitating the filling of a vertical tube with a solid material in the particulate state, which descends by gravity into the tube, of the type comprising at least one cable or the like suspended vertically in the tube, this device being characterized in that it comprises, at least three obstacles, which are at least partly offset laterally with respect to the axis of the tube, at least two of these obstacles being arranged in the tube at different levels.
- the cables are advantageously arranged in the tube in a manner substantially symmetrical with respect to the axis of this tube.
- more than two cables are used supporting the obstacles in the tube and a flexible material having the best possible damping rate is chosen to constitute the associated obstacles, so as to offer, on the one hand, greater probability of encountering the particles to be loaded, whatever their flow rate, and on the other hand, to obtain a homogeneous loading along the entire section, without grains of broken catalysts and without fines of these catalysts detrimental to the circulation of the fluid.
- Each cable is preferably connected by at least one flexible spacer to another cable, so that the different cables are distributed correctly in the tube, without operator intervention. Obstacles supported by certain cables may be in contact with the adjacent portion of the wall of the tube or in the immediate vicinity thereof.
- the obstacles supported by each cable are arranged at levels offset regularly with respect to the obstacles associated with the other cables, so as to be staggered with respect to each other.
- the largest dimension of these obstacles, perpendicular to the associated cable, may be between 0.10 and 0.75 times the diameter of the tube and, preferably between 0.20 and 0.70 times this diameter, so that falling inside the tube, the particles of the material with which it is desired to fill this tube necessarily meet at least one obstacle, which will absorb their fall.
- the smaller the diameter of the obstacles the greater the number of cables supporting these obstacles. •
- each particle will encounter several obstacles, which will brake it successively, without imposing any noticeable shock on it, due to the nature of these obstacles, and the particles will thus be effectively slowed down during their journey down the tube.
- the obstacles placed in the tube will occupy a total of at least 80% of the cross section of this tube.
- the obstacles preferably have a symmetry of revolution about an axis and they can have, for example, a spherical, hemispherical, conical or frustoconical shape, or even a cylindrical shape. Their axis of symmetry can advantageously be confused with the cable which supports them.
- These obstacles can advantageously be made of an elastomer, in particular of butyl isobutylene type rubber, having a damping factor, at room temperature and at a frequency of 31 Hz, greater than 0.15 and preferably 0.20, or alternatively made of a cellular material.
- this damping factor reference may be made to the work "Criteria for Engineering Design", edited by C. Hepburn and R.J.W. Reynolds, Collection Applied Science Publishers, Ltd, London, and, more particularly in article 2.4, on page 25 of this book: "Design of Elastomers for Sampling Applications”.
- the different cables are preferably raised to the upper part of the tube substantially in synchronization, so that the obstacles they support keep the same relative positions.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain a uniform loading of the particles in the tube, minimizing the breakage of the particles, and the formation of catalyst fines in the loaded tube.
- the cables can be constituted by separate elements laterally interconnected by spacers, the cables or the spacers being assembled to each other by connecting means known per se, for example using carabiners.
- the obstacles have axes of symmetry offset with respect to the axis of the cable which supports them, in the direction of the adjoining wall, in particular when the tube to be filled has an inlet diameter more smaller than the internal diameter of the tube.
- Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of a vertical tube equipped with the device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a top view of the tube
- Figure 3 is a top view of the tube, with obstacles of smaller diameter
- Figures 4, 5 and 6 are schematic views illustrating various types of obstacles used in the context of one invention.
- Figures 7 and 8 are schematic views illustrating two alternative embodiments of the invention.
- the tube 1 shown is a vertical cylindrical tube of great length, for example a chemical reactor tube, and it is equipped at its upper part with a hopper 2, into which the particles 3 are poured with a material which it is desired to fill this tube, a catalyst for example.
- a plurality of cables 4, for example of steel, four in number in the case of the drawings, are suspended vertically inside the tube 1, in the vicinity of the internal wall of that -
- each cable supporting obstacles 5, here in the form of balls in a flexible material capable of absorbing the shocks of the particles, for example in an elastomer or in a plastic foam.
- the obstacles 5 are in contact with the contiguous part of the internal wall of the tube 1 and the obstacles of the various cables are offset regularly with respect to each other, so as to be staggered.
- the obstacles 5 have here an axis of revolution coincident with the axis of the associated cable 4 and they may or may not be spherical.
- each cable Their largest diameter, perpendicular to the associated cable, is between 0.25 and 0.75 times the diameter of the tube 1, so that a particle of the material to be loaded into the tube necessarily meets at least one of the obstacles 5 by falling into the tube and is thus braked in its fall, without breaking because of the nature of these obstacles.
- the obstacles supported by each cable are spaced from each other by about 50 cm, so that, for a tube of great length, each cable supports numerous obstacles, thus multiplying, for the particles of material of. filling, the opportunities to meet them, in their path from top to bottom inside the tube, which thus very effectively brakes their fall in the tube.
- the obstacles placed in the tube will occupy a total of at least 80% of the cross-section of the tube (see Figure 2), this result can also be obtained with a plurality of obstacles of larger diameter. small (see Figure 3, where the parts described above are designated by the same reference numbers).
- Usual means are provided for reassembling the various cables 4 in synchronization towards the top of the tube 1, as the filling thereof takes place.
- the obstacles 5 have a substantially spherical shape, but any other form of obstacle having a symmetry of revolution about an axis can be used, for example obstacles 5a of hemispherical shape ( Figure 4) , 5b of conical shape ( Figure 5) or 5c of cylindrical shape ( Figure 6), this list is naturally not limiting.
- FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the obstacles 15, here of spherical shape, arranged inside the tube 11, are supported by cables made up of a succession of separate elements 14, interconnected transversely, at their upper end and at their lower end, by spacers 16, preferably flexible.
- the successive sets of cables and spacers are joined by assembly means known in the art, for example, as shown, by portions of cables 18 and 19, hooked together by carabiner systems 20.
- the obstacles carried by the cables do not have to have an axis of symmetry which coincides with the axis of the cable.
- the tube 21 has at its upper part an inlet 22 with an internal diameter smaller than that of the tube, as shown in FIG.
- the reactor tube used for the test is approximately 7 meters long and its diameter is
- the device according to the invention consisting of 4 cables each supporting 9 obstacles in the form of balls with a diameter of 40 mm, made of a material of the butyl iso butylene type; the cables measure 7.20 m and are connected to each other by flexible spacers placed approximately every 1 m; the obstacles are distributed regularly over the height of the tube and are offset by one cable relative to the other, so as to be staggered in the tube. After each loading, the loading density and the percentage of catalyst fines were measured. The results obtained are collated in the following table.
- the density of the charge obtained with the device according to the invention is substantially identical to that obtained with the system using flexible strips regularly arranged around an axial cable, while the quantity of fines formed (which also includes possible broken grains of catalysts) is about 1.5 times lower than that obtained with the lamella loading system.
- the device according to the invention also makes it possible to obtain loading qualities which are superior to the method which consists in loading the bulk catalyst from the upper end of the tube, with an improved loading density and a quantity fines formed during this loading approximately 3 to 4 times less than that resulting from a bulk loading.
