How did the broken porcelain ring get into the acid separation pipeline?
Thread Content
Due to smoke coming from the chimney, the acid distribution pipe was stopped for inspection, and broken porcelain rings were found inside the pipe; some of the acid distribution channels were also found to be blocked. So I cleaned them one by one. How do the ceramic rings get into the acid separation tube? Personally, I think there is still pump-driven suction; after passing through the acid cooler, it goes into something else. I can’t think of what it is. Please help me figure this out
As you said, care was not taken during installation, which caused some of the magnetic rings to break; after circulation, they got stuck in the small holes of the acid separator as a result of being pumped around；
It must be for this reason; otherwise, someone must have accidentally failed to pay close attention during installation and left some parts in the acid distribution pipe
The process by which the porcelain ring enters the acid separation tube should be like this. There are many reasons for the formation of broken porcelain pieces. The main ones include: 1. When filling the tower with packing material, the material was not properly selected, or the filling method was incorrect ； 2. It is possible that the gas velocity inside the tower is high or the amount of acid fed into the tower is too low, resulting in flooding and the fragmentation of the magnetic rings ； 3. The filler has been in use for a long time ； 4. Overload operation ； 5. Quality issues with the filler itself. 6. Uneven distribution of the acid distributor, resulting in uneven flow; intense agitation of the liquid in certain areas leads to the rupture of the ceramic rings. The specific causes need to be investigated one by one. Additionally, it is recommended that you check the acid cooler; it is likely that there is also a fair amount of broken porcelain inside the tube bundle that needs to be replaced.
Yes, that’s right; acid coolers do exist, and there are broken porcelain rings between the tube bundles, but the management doesn’t believe it
The acid cooler does not produce broken porcelain rings on its own, so the manager doesn’t believe it.
The acid should flow through the tube side, right? Is there any in between the tubes?
A broken porcelain ring filter should be installed at the bottom of the tower
Those with vortex prevention devices and ceramic ring filtration may have large gaps
This could be caused during maintenance work, or it might result from long-term use. A specially designed filter device using broken porcelain rings should be installed at the bottom of the tower; otherwise, these broken porcelain rings will have an adverse effect on the entire system
The situation is serious; there are early signs of flooding, and it’s very likely that a flooding incident will occur soon
