This invention relates to a decoking apparatus, and more particularly to a decoking apparatus for use on a reaction vessel for the thermal cracking of heavy petroleum oils.
In producing pitches, heavy petroleum oils (hereinafter referred to as heavy oils) such as asphalt and coal-tar are usually thermally cracked in a reaction vessel In this connection, it is the general practice to admit a hot gas, which does not react with the heavy oils, in the temperature range of 400 to 2000 C into the reaction vessel through its bottom to induce thermal cracking of the charged heavy oils During the cracking operation, the charged material undergoes intense bubbling and spatters around onto the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel, forming deposits of coke thereon Experience has shown that the coke deposit grows into a substantial thickness while the reaction vessel is used for several batches and that pieces of the deposit tend to come off the reactor wall, causing various problems in the subsequent operations, for example, clogging of the nozzle through which the reacted product is removed.
The countermeasure which has been conventionally resorted to in this regard is the removal of the deposited coke by highpressure water jets or by mechanical scraping after the reaction vessel has been used for several batches or when the coke deposit has growth to certain extent However, these conventional methods invariably necessitate the cooling down to room temperature of the reaction vessel which has previously been maintained at about 400 C, requiring shut down of the cracking operation for a long period of time and compelling the operator to do the coke removing jobs in an undesirable environment.
In view of the difficulties encountered in the coke removing operation, we have have already developed a new concept of injecting part of charging material through a rotary nozzle toward the inner wall surfaces of the reactor to remove the deposited coke therefrom (see our British Patent Specification No 1,520,825) This previous proposal succeeded in eliminating the above-mentioned difficulties of the conventional methods but turned out to have a problem in that coke tends to deposit on the rotary nozzle itself thereby impairing its function or increasing its weight unduely.
The present invention is aimed at reducing or eliminating of the above-mentioned difficulties of the conventional methods and the problems of our prior invention.
According to the present invention, there is provided a decoking apparatus for a reaction vessel for the thermal cracking of heavy oils, comprising a decoking apparatus for use on a reaction vessel for the thermal cracking of heavy petroleum oils, comprising a rotatable main injection pipe extending into said reaction vessel and having a plurality of nozzles extending along a vertical straight portion thereof for directing a stream of preheated heavy petroleum oil against the inner wall surface of said reaction vessel, and an auxiliary injection pipe extending in said reaction vessel and t^c 11 c Mcc 1,588,821 having an outlet located over said vertical straight portion of said main injection pipe, said auxiliary injection pipe being positioned to discharge a scrubbing liquid over said main injection pipe thereby to keep the outer peripheral walls of at least said vertical straight portion in a wet state.
In use of the apparatus the above-mentioned main and auxiliary injection pipes are supplied with the raw liquid material or heavy oils to be charged into the reactor.
The main injection pipe is arranged to inject the raw material as jets against the inner wall surfaces of the reactor at a pressure of usually no greater than 20 kg/cm 2 thereby to remove the coke deposits on the wall surfaces, while the auxiliary injection pipe is adapted to discharge pressurized or nonpressurized raw material on the outer circumferential wall surfaces of the main injection pipe to keep them in a wet state thereby to prevent coke deposition In some embodiments, the auxiliary injection pipe may be adapted to inject the raw material at a pressure of several kg/cm 2.
In one preferred form of the invention, the main injection pipe is rotable about the vertical axis of the reactor and at the same time movable up and down along the vertical axis of the reactor The main movements of the main injection pipe ensure that the decoking jets may be directed towards the entire inner wall surfaces of the reactor despite the intervals between the nozzles.
For the compactness of the apparatus as a whole, it is preferred that the auxiliary injection pipe has its upper portion received within the main injection pipe to extend along the longitudinal axis of the latter In such an embodiment, the lower end portion of the auxiliary injection pipe is desirably brought out through the wall of the main injection pipe, at a position where the main pipe is bent toward the side wall of the reaction vessel, as will be described hereinlater.
In use of some embodiments of our apparatus we have found that the main injection pipe which directs high-pressure jets against the inner wall surfaces of the reactor is susceptible of shuddering vibrations under the influence of the interaction of the jet pressure and the vigorous bubbling action of the high pressure vapors which occur during the cracking operation Therefore, it is preferred to provide an antivibratory means for the main injection pipe.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood, embodiments in accordance therewith will now be described, by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig I is a partially sectioned schematic view showing a decoking apparatus mounted on a heavy oil cracking reactor; Fig 2 is a schematic sectional view of another decoking apparatus; Fig 3 is a schematic view showing a preferred arrangement of auxiliary injection pipe and main injection pipe 70 Referring to Fig 1, a decoking apparatus is mounted on a reaction vessel 1 which is used for the thermal cracking of heavy oil The construction of the reactor vessel 1 itself is conventional and thus its explanation 75 is omitted The decoking apparatus generally indicated at 20 includes a main injection pipe 21 and an auxiliary injection pipe 22 which extend into the reactor 1 and are rotatably about the vertical axis thereof 80 The main injection pipe 21 is provided with a series of vertically aligned jet nozzles 23 which are formed through its wall at least on the side closely facing the reactor wall to permit injection, under high pressure, 85 jets of heavy oil against the inner wall surfaces of the reactor 1 The nozzles 23 are directed downwardly at an angle of 450 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the main injection pipe 21 The number and the 90 arrangement of the nozzles required can be determined according to the amount and the pressure of the heavy oil to be injected therethrough The main injection pipe 21 is closed at its lower end and has two bent portions 95 24 a and 24 b so that the vertical length portion extends close to the inner wall surface of the reactor 1 As a result, the nozzles 23 of the main injection pipe 21 are maintained at a short distance from the inner wall sur 100 faces of the reactor 1 The upper straight portion 25 of the main injection pipe 21 extends through an opening in the top wall of the reactor 1, more specifically, through a bearing 3 which rotatably supports the pipe 105 21 and through packing and packing gland 4 which hermetically seal the upper opening 2 of the reactor to prevent leakage of gases from the reactor 1 The distal end of the upper straight portion 25 of the main injec 110 tion pipe 21 is connected to a coupling cup 26 which is fixedly mounted on a grear 5 which in turn is driven from an electric motor (not shown).
The auxiliary injection pipe 22 which 115 extends through and centrally of the upper straight portion 25 of the main injection pipe 21 is taken out at the bend 24 a at the lower end of the upper straight portion 25 and connected at its lower end to an annular nozzle 120 pipe 28 which is provided with a number of jet nozzles 27 in its wall facing the side of the main injection pipe 21 At the bent portion 24 a where the auxiliary injection pipe 22 is taken out, its circumferential wall is 125 hermetically welded to the main injection pipe 21, to prevent leakage of the scrubbing liquid which is fed to the main injection pipe 21 The upper end of the auxiliary injection pipe 22 is connected to a coupling cup 29 130 1,588,821 which is rotatable with the afore-mentioned coupling cup 26.
The heavy oil is fed to the main injection pipe 21 through a fixed feed pipe 30 which has at its lower end a coupling cup 31 opposingly to the above-mentioned coupling cup 26 and has its upper end connected to bifurcated pipes 34 and 35 through valves 32 and 33, respectively Extending through the vertical riser portion of the fixed pipe is a second fixed pipe 36 which has at its lower end a coupling cup 37 in opposed relation to the afore-mentioned coupling cup 29 The second fixed pipe 36 is provided with a pressure-reducing valve 38 for the adjustment of the injection pressure One of the coupling cups 26 and 31 is formed in a smaller diameter and fitted in the other one through an 0-ring in such a manner as to allow relative rotary movement between the two coupled cups The same applies to the other pair of coupling cups 29 and 37.
The heavy oil to be subjected to the thermal cracking is charged into the reaction vessel 1 through an inlet pipe 6, while superheated steam of 400 ‘C to 2000 ‘C is introduced into the vessel through another inlet pipe 7 During the cracking operation, a fluid such as nitrogen gas or steam which is inert to the thermal decomposition reactions of the heavy oil is fed to the main injection pipe 21 through the pipe 34 and injected through the jet nozzles 23 to prevent the nozzles 23 from being clogged with the reaction material charged in the reactor 1 At this time, it is not necessary to rotate the main injection pipe 21.
On the other hand, part of charging heavy oil is fed through the second fixed pipe 36 to the auxiliary injection pipe 22 after pressure adjustment at the pressure-reducing valve 38, for example, to a lower level of 1 kg/cm 2, and injected from the annular nozzle 28 over the outer wall surfaces of the main injection pipe 21 to keep those surfaces in a wet state Therefore, the splashes of the bubbling heavy oil are prevented from depositing and hardening on the outer wall surfaces of the main injection pipe 21 Designated at 8 in Fig 1 is an exhaust port for the inert gas and the gases which occur during the cracking operation, and at 9 is an outlet for the reaction product.
Upon completion of cracking of the charged heavy oil, the decomposition product is discharged through the outlet 9, and the valve 32 is closed to stop the injection of inert gas through the nozzles 23.
Whereupon, the valve 33 is opened to feed part of the heavy oil for the next batch from the pipe 35 to the second fixed pipe under a high pressure, for example, at kg/cm 2, injecting through nozzles 23 high-pressure jets of heavy oil against the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel 1.
During the injection of heavy oil, the main nozzle pipe is rotated by a drive mechanism through the gear 5 In this manner, the coke which has deposited on the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel 1 during the 70 preceding cracking operation is removed and discharged through the outlet pipe 10 If the deposited coke is removed after each batchwise cracking operation, it is only a small amount which has to be dealt with which 75 can be easily discharged without clogging the outlet pipe 10 As soon as the decoking of the reactor walls is finished, the rotation of the main injection pipe 21 is stopped and the valve 33 is closed to stop the injection 80 of heavy oil through the nozzles 23, and the valve 32 is opened again to feed the inert fluid to the main injection pipe 21 until the end of the next cracking operation.
Referring to Figs 2 and 3, there is shown 85 another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the decoking apparatus also has a drive assembly 50 mounted over a reaction vessel for the pipe rotating and reciprocating operations The drive shaft (not, 90 shown) of the drive assembly is connected through a piston rod 67 to an upper end of an injection pipe assembly 70 which is disposed within the reaction vessel 1, and a cylinder assembly 90 is mounted on top of 95 the reaction vessel 1 to feed decoking heavy oil to the injection pipe assembly while hermetically sealing the top end of the reaction vessel.
The drive assembly 50 of which the 100 mechanism is well known per se includes an electric motor and a reduction gear for rotating and vertically reciprocating the injection pipe assembly 70 through the drive shaft so that as it rotates it moves up and down 105 longitudinally of the vertical axis of the reactor The drive assembly 50 is provided with a control circuit for sequentially controlling the rotational and reciprocating movements of the injection pipe assembly 110 70.
Furthermore, the drive assembly is so constructed that both radial and thrust loads imparted to it are born within itself to make it compact 115 The injection pipe assembly 70 disposed in the reaction vessel 1 has the substantially same construction as the injection pipe in the first embodiment However, in the second embodiment, the auxiliary injection pipe is 120 arranged in a slightly different manner More particularly, as in the first embodiment, the auxiliary injection pipe 72 extends through and centrally of the main injection pipe 71 as far as the bent portion 73 a where the 125 auxiliary pipe 72 is taken out through the wall of the main pipe 71 The lower end portion of the auxiliary injection pipe 72 which projects out of the main injection pipe 71 is extended to and opened at a point over 130 1,588,821 the bent portion 73 b of the main injection pipe which is bent thereat to extend closely along the inner wall surface of the reaction vessel 1 The open distal end of the auxiliary injection pipe 72 is located and disposed such that the heavy oil is shed uniformly over the outer wall surfaces of the main nozzle pipe 72 In this embodiment, the heavy oil to be poured on the outer surface of the main injection pipe 71 may be shed by gravity or may be injected under pressure if desired The free end 74 of the auxiliary injection pipe 72 may be helically wound around the circumference of the main injection pipe 71 as shown in Fig 3 If arranged in this manner, the open end of the auxiliary injection pipe is maintained in a constant position relative to the main injection pipe 71, adapting itself to the contraction or elongation of the main injection pipe 72 due to thermal stress.
The main injection pipe 70 within the reaction vessel 1 has to be formed from a light material since it is exposed to high temperatures, shaken by the bubbling, stressed repeatedly by the reactions of the jets during the decoking operation, and influenced by the moments resulting from eccentric deviations of the main and auxiliary injection pipes 71 and 72 For example, the injection pipe portion 70 may be constituted by a single carbon steel pipe which is inserted in the reaction vessel It may be conccivable to provide a main injection pipe which is bifurcated or trifurcated at the lower end of its upper straight portion but this is not desirable in view of the above-mentioned influential factors The main injection pipe 71 is provided with nozzles 75 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
The main and auxiliary injection pipe 71 and 72 and the piston rod 67 are welded by the following procedures The piston 67 is provided with an axial bore 103 in its lower end face The bore 103 has the same diameter as the inside diameter of the main injection pipe 71 and communicates through a bottom passage 104 with a scrubbing liquid chamber 95 which will be described hereinlater A straight pipe to be formed into the auxiliary injection pipe 72 is inserted into a through hole which is provided on the lower side of the bent portion of the main injection pipe 71, and the upper end of the auxiliary injection pipe 72 is then fitted into the bottom passage 104, welding the outer periphery of the auxiliary injection pipe 72 to the bottom of the bore 103 Thereafter, the upper end of the main injection pipe 71 is abutted against and welded to the lower end 67 a of the piston 67 Finally, the auxiliary injection pipe 72 is welded to the main injection pipe 71, around its outer periphery where it projects out of the bent portion of the main pipe, and the projecting lower end of the auxiliary injection pipe is bent in the above-described manner.
The cylinder assembly 90 is mounted on top of the reaction vessel 1 to feed high pressure oil and low pressure heavy oil to 70 the main and auxiliary injection pipes 71 and 72, respectively, while sealing the upper end of the reaction vessel 1 to prevent leakage of inflammable gases or other material including heated asphalt The cylinder 75 assembly 90 has a cylinder 91 which is mounted on the upper end of the reaction vessel 1 and which has a bottom wall 92 extending from the underside of its base into the interior of the reaction vessel 1 to define 80 a lower steam chamber 93 around the main injection pipe 72 The cylinder 91 further defines, in cooperation with the lands on the piston 67, a high-pressure heavy oil chamber 94, a low-pressure heavy oil chamber 95, and 85 an upper steam chamber 96 These chambers are sealed by piston rings 97 on the respective lands The upper steam chamber 96 is sealed from the atmosphere by packing 98 and packing gland 99 The bottom wall 90 92 of the lower steam chamber 93 is provided with a cylindrical anti-vibratory member 100 which prevents vibration of the main injection pipe 71.
The high-pressure heavy oil chamber 94 95 of the cylinder 91 communicates with the main injection pipe 91 through an opening 101 and receives a supply of high-pressure heavy oil from the direction X to discharge it through the nozzles 75 of the main injec 100 tion pipe 71 agailnst the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel 1 The low-pressure heavy oil chamber 95 communicates with the auxiliary injection pipe 72 which receives a supply of low-pressure heavy oil from the 105 direction Y to discharge it from the lower end of the auxiliary injection pipe 72 onto the outer peripheral walls of the main injection pipe 71 The lower and upper steam chambers 93 and 96 respectively receive a 110 supply of steam from the direction Z to ensure secure rotation and reciprocal movement of the injection pipe assembly 70 while completely sealing the gases and heavy oil within the reaction vessel 1 and the high 115 pressure and low-pressure heavy oil in the chambers 94 and 95 in cooperation with the piston 102, piston ring 97 and packing 98.
The heavy oil can be charged while the injection pipe assembly is rotating or recip 120 rocating.
In operation, the present embodiment of the above construction differs from the first embodiment in that steam is constantly fed to the respective steam chambers from the 125 direction Z During the batchwise cracking operation, low-pressure heavy oil is fed to the auxiliary injection pipe 72 to keep the outer peripheral walls of the main injection pipe 71 in a wet state Upon completion of 130 1,588,821 one batch operation, high-pressure heavy oil is fed from the direction X into the main injection pipe 71 which is now put in rotation to discharge the heavy oil against and around the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel 1 This embodiment also differs in that the main injection pipe is raised as soon as it completes one round of decoking operation The raising of the main injection pipe 71 shifts the positions of the outwardly downwardly inclined nozzles 75 relative to the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel 1 In this connection, it is preferred to raise the main injection pipe 71 by a distance corresponding to the intervals between the individual jet nozzles 75 to ensure complete removal of the deposited coke In this particular embodiment, the drive shaft has a full stroke length of 100 mm while adjacent nozzles 75 are spaced apart by a distance of about 100 mm or less This will be satisfactory for normal operations The drive shaft is raised each time by a distance corresponding to 1 of its full stroke length, for instance, by controlling the rotation of the drive shaft using a techometer which is adapted to detect its rotation The rotation and reciprocal movement of the main injection pipe 71 are effected separately in normal operations but both may be effected simultaneously.
Instead of shifting the injection pipe assembly by the drive assembly 50, it is possible to operate the piston cylinder by fluid pressure, for example, by reciprocating the piston 67 up and down by controlling the pressures of steam to be admitted into the upper and lower steam chambers 96 and 93.
It will be appreciated that in the foregoing embodiment the coke deposit on the reactor walls is removed by the high-pressure jets of hot heavy oil which is injected as a scrubbing liquid through the nozzles of the main injection pipe to allow continuously repeated cracking operation by the reactor, while injecting through the auxiliary injection pipe a similar raw material over the outer peripheral walls of the main injection pipe to keep the wall surfaces in a wet state thereby to preclude coke deposition on the main injection pipe.
In addition, the rotation and reciprocal shifting of the main nozzle pipe within the reactor ensures that a large area which is treated by the jets of scrubbing liquid and ensures a satisfactory removal of deposited coke During the rotation and reciprocal shifts of the injection pipe assembly, leakage of the gases and inflammable hot asphalt from within the reactor is completely prevented by the secure seals, the latter being of very simple construction so as to allow easy maintenance and inspection.
Moreover, in a case where the auxiliary injection pipe is helically wound around the main injection pipe, it can easily adapt itself to the thermal expansion of the main injection pipe exposed to high temperatures.
The provision of the anti-vibratory member on the main injection pipe precludes vibrations of the portions containing the nozzles and contributes to smooth the rotation and reciprocal shift operations of the main injection pipe and thereby helps in the coke removing and scrubbing operations.
