Ingeniously changing the torch barrel to solve the problem of water accumulation

Recently, a small transformation of the flare barrel carried out by the oil and gas storage and transportation workshop of Yan'an Petrochemical Plant has received good results, effectively solving the problem of safety production such as the blockage of the flare system due to excessive water volume in the flare barrel
.

The volume water of the torch tube is mainly due to the condensate separated from the low-pressure gas discharged from each device and the three-way steam condensate from the torch head.
Especially in the autumn and winter when the temperature is low, a large amount of condensate is discharged from the torch head into the barrel.
If manual dehydration is not carried out in time, it is easy to cause the manual dehydration valve to be blocked; if the volume of the cylinder is too high, the flare system will be blocked, which will seriously affect the safe production of the device
.

In response to this problem, the workshop has carried out technical analysis on the volume water problem of the torch tube many times, and decided to implement a technical modification of the tube body, which is to install a prefabricated water seal tube under the original manual dehydration pipeline.
The technician uses the water seal principle to seal the water tube.
The pressure is set to 3kPa
.

In addition, the workshop also added a pipeline at the bottom of the water seal cylinder, and added a heating line inside it to achieve regular cleaning and emptying of the cylinder to ensure normal operation under low temperature conditions in winter
.

"It turned out that our employees performed manual emptying at least twice a week, and now the manual is changed to automatic overflow mode, which completely liberates the employees' hands.
It can be said that it not only guarantees safe production, but also improves work efficiency.
' Win-win'
