Study on Blockage Problem in Compression Section of Natural Gas to Acetylene Plant
The use of natural gas partial oxidation to produce acetylene is one of the main methods in the acetylene industry,and the compression section is a key process step in the natural gas partial oxidation to produce acetylene technology.However,in the actual production process,the problem of pipeline and equipment blockage in the compression section is more prominent,which to some extent affects the continuous production operation of the plant.The main reason for blockage is that the cracking gas contains higher alkynes and carbon black that are prone to polymerization reactions to produce polymers.Carbon black and polymers deposit and adhere in the system,causing plant blockage.This paper analyzes the problem of compression section blockage based on the actual production situation,and provides preliminary solutions from different perspectives such as design and operation.
