Definitions
- the invention relates to production equipment for gas-liquid processes and can be used in chemical, petrochemical and other industries.
- one or more of starting reagents is in the gas phase, and for a reaction to take place, the reagents are to be converted into the liquid phase or to the boundary of the two phases, which requires high mass transfer rates. Furthermore, processes carried out in liquid and gas phases are often accompanied by a high release or absorption of heat, which requires an efficient heat exchange between the mixture and heat transfer agent.
- a conventional shell-and-tube apparatus for carrying out exothermic gas-liquid processes (reactions) is disclosed in US 5,864,698 (publ. 08.12.1998).
- the apparatus comprises a hollow draft tube disposed therein.
- the tube accommodates an impeller means to cause recirculation of liquid downward through the tube into a bottom mixing chamber.
- Liquid flow is introduced into the apparatus through a feed line, and gas is introduced above the liquid level via the line.
- the apparatus exhibits improved heat transfer, high productivity and selectivity owing to the use of forced circulation created by the impeller means.
- fixation of the fast-rotating structure with a single an- chor point is technically problematic, since while rotating the impeller can misalign from the axis of rotation under tangential forces.
- spe- cial seals will be required for operation of the impeller shaft at high pressures. Further- more, a high velocity of liquid is required to create the descending gas-liquid flow through the central tube, which will cause additional energy losses in rotation of the impeller. The length of the apparatus will be severely limited even with a significant rotational speed of the impeller.
- RU2040940 (publ. 09.08.1995) discloses an apparatus for carrying out gas-liquid chemical and heat and mass transfer processes with a high thermal effect, which can reduce the residence time dispersion (i.e. deviation of residence time of actual flows from a rated value) of a liquid reagent in the apparatus through the provision of its multi- pass through the working area.
- the apparatus comprises a bundle of bubble tubes (through which the gas-liquid mixture flows from the bottom upwards) and circulation tubes (through which the liquid returns (circulates) to the lower part of the apparatus), the tubes being secured in tube sheets and accommodated in a cylindrical vertical hous- ing; an upper chamber with vertical plates and a lower chamber with a gas distribution device.
- the housing comprises heat transfer agent feed and withdrawal nozzles, the lower chamber has a gas feed nozzle and a drainage nozzle.
- the apparatus is character- ized by the provision of a vertical partition in the lower chamber and a gas distribution device in the form of a horizontal partition with holes along axes of the bubble tubes. Furthermore, the partitions are offset relative to plates in the upper chamber to create a multi-pass channel for liquid flow from the feed to withdrawal nozzle. The above ele- ments reduce the residence time dispersion of individual portions of liquid. By varying the number and arrangement of plates in the upper chamber and partitions in the lower chamber, it is possible to create apparatuses with a desired number of passes through the tube space, which can vary from 2 to 6-10.
- uniform gas distribution over the apparatus cross section i.e. gas concentration is the same in any point of the tube in the horizontal section of the apparatus
- uniform gas distribution over the apparatus cross section i.e. gas concentration is the same in any point of the tube in the horizontal section of the apparatus
- walls of the tubes disposed under the lower tube sheet have holes for transition of gas entering the tubes from the gas blanket formed under the tube sheet.
- use of the apparatuses with holes in tube walls is problematic in the processes accompanied by formation of crys- tallized and precipitated reaction products or catalyst due to blockage of the holes and disturbance of hydrodynamic parameters of the apparatus.
- the probability of formation of explosive gas mixtures and liquid vapors in the gas space below the lower tube sheet also limits the applicability of the apparatuses.
- a gas lift apparatus disclosed in SU1212550 (publ. 23.02.1986) comprises a ver- tical cylindrical housing accommodating an upper and lower tube sheets to secure a ver- tical bundle of circulation and bubble tubes. Upper ends of bubble tubes are disposed higher than ends of circulation tubes. To improve the productivity by increasing the re- action zone of the apparatus, the phase contact surface and creating a stable circulation, the apparatus further comprises a supplementary tube sheet mounted above the upper tube sheet so that a gas chamber is formed between them. Ends of bubble tubes are disposed in the gas phase, while ends of circulation tubes are disposed in the liquid phase, and holes are provided in circulation tube sections disposed in the gas chamber.
- the apparatus comprises a separating chamber with a drop eliminator and feed and with- drawal nozzles for phases and heat transfer agent.
- the disclosed apparatus structure does not exclude entry of liquid from circulation tubes into the upper gas chamber, which can impair its operation.
- the flow of gas, coming from the upper gas chamber, in circulation tubes can be hindered when moving to the lower part of the apparatus under the effect of the liquid phase.
- An apparatus disclosed in SU 129643 (publ. 01.01.1960) is designed as a vertical housing with a central circulation tube. Each tube of the apparatus has an elongated end extending through a lower tube sheet with holes. Lower section of the circulation tube is below the tube cuts.
- gas is fed through a branch tube to the apparatus, liquid filling the cavity under the tube sheet is pressed downward, and a gas blanket is formed under the tube sheet; gas bubbles through holes of all tubes and thereby is uniformly distributed over the apparatus section. While raising through the tubes, gas bubbles en- train liquid and create its intensive circulation, which improves heat transfer.
- the document does not disclose that the apparatus provides a stable heat exchange (i.e. unchanged temperature gradient in the apparatus in time) throughout the apparatus.
- Another conventional shell-and-tube gas lift apparatus disclosed in SU199087 (publ. 01.01.1967), comprises: an upper chamber and a lower chamber with jackets, tube sheets and circulation tubes passing through them, and bubble tubes, whose ends in the upper chamber are disposed at different levels, a liquid phase feed nozzle and a gas phase feed nozzle.
- a gas layer forms under the tube sheet, from which gas enters bubble tubes through holes.
- intensive phase circulation occurs: the gas-liquid mixture moves upwards through the bubble tubes and the liquid phase moves downwards through the circulation tubes.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a bubble shell-and-tube gas-lift apparatus for carrying out gas-liquid processes, exhibiting stable and uniform heat and mass transfer throughout the apparatus, and steady performance.
- a technical effect of the invention is the provision of a bubble shell-and-tube gas-lift apparatus that reduces the residence time dispersion of liquid in the reaction zone, improves the hydrodynamic efficiency, and also increases the selectivity of pro- Des carried out in the apparatus (including chemical reactions).
- a further technical effect of the invention is the provision of a bubble shell-and- tube gas-lift apparatus enabling processes with significant thermal effects, as well as processes accompanied by formation of solid precipitate, high-molecular and/or highly viscous compounds, including resins and polymers, and also processes accompanied by crystallization of one of the reaction mixture components.
- a further technical effect of the invention is the reduced probability of formation of explosive mixtures of gas and liquid vapors owing to the reduced gas space volume in the apparatus, which does not react with the liquid phase.
- the present apparatus is free of inactive zones occupied by gas.
- the productivity of the apparatus is enhanced owing to increased volumetric efficiency of the apparatus and increased reaction zone.
- stability of heat and mass transfer in the apparatus shall be construed as the constancy of characteristics (composition, tempera- ture, flow rate, etc.) at each flow point over time.
- Steady performance of the apparatus shall be construed as the mode of operation, the characteristics of which return to the initial state after a disturbance has been elimi- nated.
- residence time dispersion of liquid in the reaction zone shall be con- strued as the deviation of residence time of actual flows from a rated value, and hydro- dynamic efficiency shall be construed as approaching characteristics of the actual appa- ratus to a plug-flow apparatus.
- the term "substantially” means a deviation within a permissible error range for a particular value determined by a person skilled in the art.
- an apparatus comprising one or more vertical shell-and-tube units formed as a housing with reagent feed devices and reaction product withdrawal devices, heat transfer agent feed and withdrawal de- vices; two tube groups secured by tube sheets in upper and lower parts of the housing, one tube group extending beyond the lower tube sheet, and the second tube group having tube ends substantially flush with the lower tube sheet, the tubes of the first tube group being distributed substantially uniformly over the tube sheet.
- the inventors have unexpectedly found that the inventive structure and arrangement of the first ahd second tube groups maintain a constant flow direction in the tubes, which provides stable and uniform heat and mass transfer throughout the apparatus and steady performance of the apparatus, thereby ensuring the claimed technical effects.
- Tubes of the first tube group extend 10-150 mm, preferably 50-100 mm, beyond a lower tube sheet. If the extension length of the tubes of the first tube group relative to the lower tube sheet is less than 10 mm, the probability of gas slippage through the circulation circuit increases, which disrupts the hydrodynamics and, as a consequence, heat and mass transfer in the apparatus. Extension of the tubes of the first tube group by more than 150 mm relative to the lower tube sheet is not advisable, since this can increase geometrical dimensions of the apparatus, and, consequently, its metal content without improving the apparatus efficiency. Extending parts of the tubes of the first group can be either of the same or different length. The same length of extending parts of the tubes of the first tube group is not a prerequisite for operation of the apparatus. The determining condition is the length of more than 10 mm, sufficient to prevent gas from entering them.
- Diameters of the tubes of the first and second tube groups can be either the same or different, however, to increase the gas/liquid contact zone, it is preferable to use the tubes of the second tube group of a larger diameter than the tubes of the first tube group.
- the mandatory requirement for operation of the apparatus is the uniform distribution of the tubes of the first tube group throughout the apparatus, i.e. the distribution of the tubes, which equalizes velocities of liquid phase throughout the apparatus and eliminates stagnant zones.
- the ratio of the number of the tubes of the first and second tube group is from 1 :1.25 to 1 :5.
- at least one of the tubes of the first tube group is adjacent to each of the tubes of the second tube group in the horizontal section of the unit. More preferably, each of the tubes of the first tube group is surrounded on perimeter by the tubes of the second tube group in the horizontal section of the unit. This arrangement of the tubes is attained at a ratio of about 1 :2.
- the tubes of the first tube group are the circulation tubes
- the tubes of the second tube group are bubble tubes.
- the overall dimensions of the device, the number of shell-and-tube units, the number of tubes in the unit, and the total number of tubes in the apparatus are selected based on the requirements of the specific application of the device.
- Reagent feed devices include a liquid phase feed device and a gas phase feed device
- reaction product withdrawal devices include a liquid phase withdrawal de- vice and a gas phase withdrawal device.
- the apparatus can be employed as a reactor for carrying out various liquid-phase reactions, for example, hydrocarbon oxidation, olefin oligomerization, synthesis of car- boxylic acids, ethylene chlorination, hydroformylation, and as an apparatus for micro- biological processes, etc.

- An apparatus according to the invention shown schematically in Fig. 6, corn- prises a single vertical shell-and-tube unit 1 with circulation tubes 3 and bubble tubes 4 secured in a tube sheet 2.
- Lower part of the apparatus comprises a liquid feed device 5 and a gas feed device 6.
- Upper part of the apparatus comprises a gas phase withdrawal device 7 and a liquid phase withdrawal device 8.
- Intertubular space of the apparatus comprises heat transfer agent circulation nozzles 9 and 10.
- Feed and withdrawal device refers hereinafter to any conventional means for feeding and withdrawal of flow, for example, a nozzle, an injector, etc.
- Liquid phase is fed through the liquid feed device 5 to completely fill the entire free volume in the tube part of the apparatus; 2. Gas phase is then fed through the gas feed device 6 to the lower part of the apparatus;
- Uniform distribution of circulation tubes ensures equal velocity of liquid through all bubble tubes and, as a consequence, equal conditions for heat and mass transfer pro- Des running throughout the apparatus.
- a heat transfer agent is circulated through the nozzles 9 and 10.
- Comparative Example 1 Use of an apparatus comprising tubes of the same length.
- Tests were carried out in a steel apparatus comprising a vertical shell-and-tube unit 80 mm in diameter having 19 tubes 725 mm long and 13x1.4 mm ip diameter, se- cured in a tube sheet.
- Lower part of the apparatus comprises a liquid and gas feed nozzle.
- Upper part of the apparatus comprises gas and liquid phase withdrawal nozzles.
- Inter- tubular space of the apparatus comprises heat transfer agent circulation nozzles (see Fig. 2).
- Tests were carried out at atmospheric pressure. Cyclohexane was used as the liquid phase, and nitrogen was used as the gas phase. The number of tubes in the bub- bling mode was determined visually every minute by the emerging bubbles of gas. Then the results were averaged over the time interval of 30 minutes, and a conclusion was made as to the mode and activity of each tube.
- this apparatus comprises about 60% of tubes, through which gas does not pass, which means that no movement of liquid occurs in the part of tubes and stagnant zones are formed.
- Comparative Example 2 Use of an apparatus comprising a single extended tube.
- Comparative Example 3 Use of an apparatus comprising three extended tubes.
- Tests were carried out in the apparatus described in Example 1, with the differ- ence that three tubes, disposed next by one around a central tube, extend 50 mm down- wards beyond the tube sheet (see Fig. 8).
- Example 4 Use of an apparatus comprising three circulation tubes disposed near a central tube, with three tubes of outer row plugged.
- Tests were carried out in the apparatus described in Example 1, with the difference that three tubes, disposed next by one around the central tube, extend 50 mm be yond the tube sheet, and three tubes of outer row are plugged (see Fig. 9).
- This distribution of circulation tubes ensures a steady performance of the unit with an average circulation velocity of liquid throughout the entire apparatus (i.e. aver age liquid circulation velocity is substantially steady over time throughout the apparatus) This results in uniform heat and mass transfer conditions throughout the apparatus.
- Example 5 Use of an apparatus comprising three circulation tubes disposed near a central tube and three circulation tubes of outer row.
- Tests were carried out in the apparatus described in Example 1, with the differ- ence that three tubes, arranged next by one around the central tube, extend 50 mm be- yond a tube sheet (see Fig. 9).
- the increased number of circulation tubes to six leads to a significant increase in the liquid circulation rate. Furthermore, the flow structure is steady, that is, the compo- sition, local velocities and physical characteristics of the medium at each point of the flow in the working zone of the apparatus stay substantially constant over time. This results in uniform heat and mass transfer conditions throughout the apparatus. Compared to Example 4, liquid phase velocities increase, thereby increasing the efficiency of heat removal from the apparatus surface.
- Comparative Example 6 Tests on mass transfer in a glass apparatus comprising tubes of the same length.
- Tests were carried out in a glass apparatus with a volume of 2 liters, comprising a vertical unit having two metal tube sheets 100 mm in diameter with 19 glass tubes, 800 mm long and 10x1.5 mm in diameter, secured in the tube sheets. All the tubes were extending beyond the tube sheet.
- Lower part of the apparatus comprises liquid and gas feed nozzles.
- Upper part of the apparatus comprises gas and liquid phase withdrawal nozzles (see Fig. 2).
- Tests were carried out at atmospheric pressure. Aqueous solution of NaOH was used as the liquid phase, and carbon dioxide was used as the gas phase. Liquid velocity was set by a pump, liquid concentration at the outlet was measured with a pH meter. Gas was fed from a cylinder through a flow meter.
- Neutralization reaction proceeds with a high rate, respectively, the process lim- iting factor is the transition of carbon dioxide to liquid.
- the process lim- iting factor is the transition of carbon dioxide to liquid.
- Tests were carried out in the following manner: the apparatus was completely filled with liquid through a pump. Then a required constant flow rate (200 ml/min) of liquid phase was set, and gas injection was started (500 ml/min). pH values were de- tected every 2 minutes. Establishment of steady-state operation was fixed on the time where no pH value variatiori occurred at the apparatus outlet within 10 minutes.
- Example 7 Tests on mass transfer in a glass apparatus comprising three circula- tion tubes disposed near a central tube and three circulation tubes of outer row.
- Tests were carried out in a glass apparatus with a volume of 2 liters, comprising a vertical unit having two metal tube sheets 100 mm in diameter and 19 glass tubes, 800 mm long and 10x1.5 mm in diameter, secured in the tube sheets. Part of the tubes were extending beyond the lower tube sheet as in Example 5. Lower part of the apparatus comprised a liquid and gas feed nozzle. Upper part of the apparatus comprised gas and liquid phase withdrawal nozzles (see Fig. 9).
- Tests were carried out at atmospheric pressure. Aqueous solution of NaOH was used as the liquid phase, and carbon dioxide was used as the gas phase. Liquid velocity was set by a pump, the liquid concentration at outlet was measured with a pH meter. Gas was fed from a cylinder through a flow meter.
- Tests were carried out in the following manner: the apparatus was completely filled with liquid through a pump. Required constant flow rate (200 ml/min) of the liquid phase was then set, and gas injection (500 ml/min) was started. pH values were detected every 2 minutes. Establishment of the steady-state condition was fixed on the time where no variation in pH value occurred at the apparatus outlet within 10 minutes.
- Tests were carried out in a steel reactor comprising a vertical shell-and-tube unit 80 mm in diameter, having 19 tubes 725 mm in length and 13x1.4 mm in diameter, secured in a tube sheet.
- Lower part of the reactor comprises a liquid and gas feed nozzle.
- Upper part of the reactor comprises gas and liquid phase withdrawal nozzles.
- Intertubu- lar space of the reactor comprises heat transfer agent circulation nozzles (see Fig. 2).
- Ethylene trimerization reaction was carried out under a pressure of 14 bar. Cy- clohexane with the addition of a homogeneous catalytic complex was used as the liquid phase, and ethylene was used as the gas phase. Concentration of the reaction product, hexene- 1, and by-products was measured by periodic sampling at the reactor outlet. Gas chromatography was used as analytical control method.
- Concentration of hexene- 1 at the reactor outlet varied within the range of 6-7% by weight with a selectivity of 96-97%.
- Example 9 Use of an apparatus comprising three circulation tubes disposed near a central tube and three circulation tubes of outer row as a reactor for ethylene trimeri- zation.
- Example 8 Tests were carried out in the apparatus described in Example 8, with the differ- ence that three tubes disposed next by one around the central tube extended 50 mm be- yond the tube sheet (see Example 5).
- Concentration of hexene- 1 at the reactor outlet varied, as in Example 8, within the range of 6-7% by weight with a selectivity of 96-97%.
