Problems solved by technology

Carburizing causes the furnace tube to creep and rupture, which greatly shortens the service life of the furnace tube
[0009] The existing coking suppression methods in the prior art have the following disadvantages: 1) It affects the downstream system, making the operation of the latter system difficult; 2) The additive is toxic and pollutes the environment; 3) The inhibitor is injected before the cracking furnace is put into oil. If the time is too long, the ethylene output will be reduced; 4) processing and maintenance are difficult and the cost is high; 5) the carburization of the cracking furnace tube cannot be effectively improved; 6) the effect of inhibiting coking and carburization is not ideal, etc.
[0011] However, only setting enhanced heat transfer furnace tubes such as twisted sheet tubes in the radiant section of the ethylene cracking furnace has limitations. The operating cycle of the furnace, but there is still coking between the enhanced heat transfer components such as twisted sheets and the inner wall of the furnace tube. After a period of operation, the cracking furnace will have to be shut down due to severe coking

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for inhibiting coking and carburization of a hydrocarbon steam cracking furnace in the petrochemical field. Background technique [0002] In the thermal cracking method to produce ethylene, the cracking furnace is the most critical core equipment, and about 60% of the energy consumption of ethylene production is consumed in the cracking furnace. The cracking furnace tube is the component with the highest operating temperature in the ethylene production device. The cracking reaction of hydrocarbons is carried out in the furnace tube. Due to secondary reactions such as polymerization and condensation, coke will inevitably be generated on the inner wall of the cracking furnace tube and the inner wall of the quenching boiler tube. dirt. Coking increases the thermal resistance of the tube wall, reduces the heat transfer coefficient, increases the wall temperature and causes local overheating; coking increases the energy consumpt...
