Description

Method for rapidly judging driving state of gas-phase polyolefin production device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for judging the initial polymerization state of a polymer resin, and more particularly to a method for judging the driving state of a polyolefin production apparatus.
Background
At present, in the initial start-up stage of a gas phase method fluidized bed polyolefin process, the judgment of the polymerization initiation conditions of Ziegler catalysts and metallocene catalysts which have no reaction induction period and stable activity release is determined according to the changes of operating parameters such as material level, temperature, pressure and the like of a fluidized bed reactor, and the method is effective because the parameters can obviously change in a short time and can reflect the polymerization initiation conditions of the catalysts in real time. In addition, the chromium-based catalyst has a relatively long induction period for initiating a polymerization reaction, the release of the activity of the catalyst is a trend of gradually increasing, generally, the reaction parameters are obviously changed for about five or six hours, the delay of the judgment can seriously waste materials for starting the reactor, the reactor is seriously operated by mistake in serious conditions, the reaction process cannot be accurately predicted, the catalyst addition amount is not adjusted timely, the polymerization accident is caused by excessive or no polymerization reaction, and the safety of starting the reactor is seriously damaged. At present, enterprises adopt gas chromatography to detect the content of low-carbon olefin in the circulating gas of the reactor (CN 102453153B) to solve the problem. However, as the main components of the circulating gas in the reactor are polymerized monomers and hydrogen, and the activity of the chromium-based catalyst at the initial start-up stage is low, the detection of trace low-carbon olefin in the circulating gas by the gas chromatography is generally about two hours after the start-up, the detection is relatively lagged, the liquid low-carbon olefin can be rapidly collected by the cryogenic enrichment effect on the reaction exhaust gas, and even if the low-carbon olefin generated at the initial start-up stage is very trace, whether the polymerization reaction occurs can be judged by detecting whether the cryogenic liquid phase is discharged.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for quickly and effectively judging the driving state of a polyolefin production device, which can judge the condition of initiating a polymerization reaction in a short time after the driving of a catalytic reaction, adjust the adding amount of a catalyst and reduce the discharge waste of nitrogen and a polymerization monomer.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a method for judging the running state of a gas-phase polyolefin production device comprises introducing a stream of circulating gas of a polymerization reaction system into an oligomer cryogenic capture system, collecting liquid-phase oligomers after cryogenic treatment, and discharging the residual gas-phase stream to a torch for treatment.
The specific gas-phase polyolefin production and exhaust gas recovery process is shown in figure 1, under normal working conditions, polymeric monomers and hydrogen enter a polyolefin fluidized bed reactor for polymerization after being pressurized by a compressor and cooled by a cooler, unreacted gas-phase polymeric monomers and hydrogen circularly flow into the compressor from the top of the reactor, polyolefin resin generated by the reaction flows out of the bottom of the reactor, enters a storage bin, and is conveyed by conveying gas into a degassing bin, and the polyolefin resin is devolatilized in the degassing bin. Fresh nitrogen is fed from the lateral line of the degassing bin, unreacted low-carbon hydrocarbon and gas-phase oligomer in the polyolefin resin are blown away, the polyolefin resin is discharged from the bottom of the degassing bin, gas is discharged from the top of the degassing bin and enters a compression and condensation unit, the gas is subjected to one-stage or multi-stage compression, condensation and gas-liquid separation, high-carbon recovery liquid is separated and returned to a polymerization reactor, the residual gas enters an oligomer cryogenic trapping system, the lowest temperature is set to be-20 ℃ to-60 ℃, the oligomer is liquefied and condensed, the oligomer is collected, a gas-phase stream flows into an expansion cryogenic unit, and polymerized monomers and nitrogen are separated through a cryogenic plate type heat exchanger and an expander, so that the nitrogen and the polymerized monomers are recycled.
In the initial start-up stage, the polymerization reactor and the reaction circulation line are usually only opened, and the detection is relatively difficult in the gas phase because of the low content of the produced oligomers. In the invention, an existing oligomer cryogenic trapping system is utilized in a driving stage, one stream is led out to enter the oligomer cryogenic trapping system, cold energy is provided by liquid nitrogen, liquid-phase oligomers are collected after cryogenic treatment, and the residual gas-phase stream is discharged to a torch. The oligomer cryogenic capture system comprises one or more stages of oligomer condensers, one or more stages of droplet coalescers, and an oligomer collection tank. The outlet temperature of the oligomer condenser was set to-20 ℃ to-30 ℃. Whether the polymerization catalyst initiates a polymerization reaction is judged by detecting whether a liquid-phase substance is collected by a oligomer collecting tank in an oligomer deep cooling collecting system, wherein the main components of the liquid-phase oligomer are 1-butene and 1-hexene. The intensity of the polymerization reaction initiated by the polymerization catalyst is judged by detecting the liquid level change rate of the oligomer collecting tank.
The preparation of polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene usually employs chromium-based catalysts as the main catalytic system, which can initiate the production of 1-butene and 1-hexene. The production of 1-butene and 1-hexene can only be from Cr3+When detecting the existence of 1-butene and 1-hexene in the circulating gas, the chromium-based catalyst starts to generate activity, and the polymerization reaction of the polymerized monomer is ensured to simultaneously occur in the system, namely the catalyst already starts to initiate the polymerization of the polymerized monomer to generate polyolefin. And the 1-butene, 1-hexene and other oligomers and polymerization monomers in the circulating gas of the reactor have certain difference in condensation temperature. Based on the above theoretical analysis, if the oligomer deep cooling trapping system is controlled to reach the oligomer condensation temperature and the liquid phase is discharged, the catalyst starts to initiate the polymerization reaction.
As a preferable scheme of the invention, whether the polymerization catalyst initiates the polymerization reaction is judged by detecting whether the oligomer collecting tank collects liquid-phase substances in the oligomer deep cooling collecting system, and the severity of the polymerization reaction initiated by the polymerization catalyst is judged by detecting the liquid level change rate of the oligomer collecting tank.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the oligomer cryogenic capture system comprises one or more stages of oligomer condensers, one or more stages of droplet coalescers, and an oligomer collection tank. The material flow extracted from the circulating gas of the polymerization reaction system sequentially flows through one-stage or multi-stage oligomer condensers which are connected in series, then flows through one-stage or multi-stage droplet coalescers, liquid-phase oligomers which are liquefied by deep cooling are collected at the bottoms of the oligomer condensers and the droplet coalescers, and the liquid-phase oligomers intensively flow into an oligomer collecting tank for detection.
As a preferable embodiment of the present invention, the outlet temperature of the oligomer condenser is controlled to be-20 ℃ to-30 ℃.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: on the basis of the theory that polymerization and oligomerization of polymerization monomers are simultaneously initiated by a polymerization catalyst, the method monitors the liquid level change of the liquid outlet tank of the oligomer cryogenic capture system by using the existing oligomer cryogenic capture system, can realize the rapid detection and real-time monitoring of the initiation condition of the polymerization reaction at the initial startup of the catalyst polyolefin process, accurately predicts the reaction process, timely adjusts the catalyst addition amount to ensure the startup safety, and prevents the polymerization accidents caused by excessive initiation or the large waste of nitrogen and polymerization monomers caused by no initiation of the catalyst.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further illustrated and described with reference to specific embodiments. The technical features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined correspondingly without mutual conflict.
As shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, taking the starting process of a HDPE plant producing 30 ten thousand tons annually by a gas phase method as an example, in a polymerization reaction system, a polymerized monomer a and hydrogen b are pressurized by a compressor 1 and cooled by a cooler 2, and then enter a polyolefin fluidized bed reactor 3 for polymerization reaction, unreacted gas-phase polymerized monomer and hydrogen circularly flow into the compressor 1 from the top of the reactor, and a circulating gas side stream c of 1000kmol/hr flows into an oligomer cryogenic trapping system at a pressure of 20 bar. In the oligomer deep cooling trapping system, a circulating gas side line discharge stream c sequentially enters a two-stage oligomer condenser, the lowest outlet temperature is-28 ℃, and then enters a fog drop coalescer 6 to recover oligomer fog drops in a dispersed gas phase, an oligomer d is enriched in the condenser and the fog drop coalescer, and discharged from the bottom to enter an oligomer collecting tank 7. The remaining gas e is discharged from the top of the mist droplet coalescer 6 into a flare for disposal.
The catalyst used during the start-up of the device is an S-2 type chromium catalyst, a polymerization monomer is introduced at the initial stage, the reaction condition of the reactor 3 is controlled, no catalyst is added, and a liquid phase is not collected by the oligomer collecting tank 7. About 40 minutes after the catalyst is added, the oligomer collecting tank 7 collects the liquid phase, which indicates that the catalyst starts to initiate the polymerization reaction, and as the reaction time increases, the flow of the stream entering the oligomer collecting tank increases, which indicates that the release of the catalyst activity is accelerated and the severity of the polymerization reaction gradually increases. And the content of 1-butene in the recycle gas can be estimated by detecting the content of 1-butene in the collected liquid, and the concentration of 1-butene in the collected liquid and the concentration of 1-butene in the recycle gas have a corresponding relationship shown in figure 3.
The operator can adjust subsequent work in time according to the flow of the oligomer collecting tank, such as the adjustment of parameters of catalyst addition amount, temperature, pressure and the like, and polymerization accidents caused by excessive initiation or a great amount of waste of polymerization monomers caused by no initiation of the catalyst are prevented. During the starting of the chromium catalyst polyolefin process in other industrial devices, an oligomer cryogenic trapping system is adopted to enrich oligomers, whether the chromium catalyst successfully initiates polymerization reaction can be judged according to whether the chromium catalyst is discharged, the oligomer flow is calculated by detecting the liquid level change of an oligomer collecting tank, and the intensity of the polymerization reaction can also be reflected, so that the analysis and judgment method is feasible. The following conclusions can be drawn from the above examples: (1) according to the mechanism that the chromium-based catalyst can catalyze polymerization monomer oligomerization and polymerization of polymerization monomer, the condition that the catalyst initiates polymerization monomer polymerization at the initial starting stage of the process can be judged by adopting the oligomer deep-cooling trapping system to enrich oligomers. This judgment method was found to be accurate and feasible according to a number of applications on devices in the polyolefin industry. (2) According to the device start result, if the liquid phase discharge can be monitored from the oligomer deep cooling trapping system after the catalyst is put into the device for 40 minutes, the chromium-based catalyst can be basically judged to successfully initiate the polymerization reaction of the polymerized monomer, otherwise, the chromium-based catalyst can be predicted not to successfully initiate the polymerization reaction of the polymerized monomer. (3) The concentration of the oligomer in the circulating gas in the reaction system can be reversely deduced according to the effluent flow of the oligomer, so that whether the addition amount of the catalyst is proper or not and whether the intensity of the polymerization reaction is normal or not can be explained, and the method can be used for guiding operators to adjust various parameters.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
