In the present invention, unless explicitly specified and limited otherwise, the term "fixed" and the like are to be construed broadly, and for example, "fixed" may be fixedly connected, detachably connected or integrally formed, mechanically connected, electrically connected, directly connected, indirectly connected through an intermediary, and may be in communication with each other between two elements or in an interaction relationship between two elements unless explicitly specified otherwise. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances.
Because the dangerous problem exists when operators overhaul and maintain the ebullated bed reactor in the prior art, the invention aims to develop a fluidized bed reactor which does not influence the distribution of materials on the premise that operators can overhaul the ebullated bed reactor from the upper part of the distribution plate through the distribution plate 11 arranged in the ebullated bed reactor, thereby fundamentally improving the safety of the ebullated bed reactor of devices such as coal-to-liquid chemical industry, petrochemical industry and the like when overhauling, improving the overhauling efficiency, reducing the overhauling cost of enterprises on the ebullated bed reactor, further improving the overall competitive power of key equipment of the coal-to-liquid chemical industry and the petrochemical industry and promoting the high quality development of core equipment of the industry.
On the other hand, the distribution plate provided by the invention can also solve the problems of long replacement and cooling time of internal gas, high safety risk of first entering of operators, complex operation procedure, high maintenance time and high cost in the process of overhauling and maintaining the fluidized bed reactor of the coal-to-liquid chemical industry, petrochemical industry and other devices. The through passage 11 can be used as a gas inlet and outlet passage except for providing a passage for operators to pass through and enter the upper part of the distribution plate so as to assist in realizing operations such as internal gas replacement, cooling and the like, so that the problems that the internal gas and the internal environment of the ebullated bed reactor cannot be rapidly analyzed from the bottom during the maintenance of the ebullated bed reactor can be solved, and the operators, tools and cleaned sediment can enter and exit from the bottom of the ebullated bed reactor through the through passage 11, thereby solving the problems that the prior art cannot solve the problems that the rapid replacement and cooling of the inside of the reactor cannot be completed after the distribution plate is blocked and the sediment accumulation and blocking condition on the upper part of the distribution plate cannot be inspected, and achieving the purposes of safely and efficiently maintaining the inside of the ebullated bed reactor.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the distribution tray provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a main tray body 1 having a plurality of distribution holes and a plugging mechanism 2 detachably connected to the main tray body 1, wherein a through passage 11 for assisting in maintenance is provided on the main tray body 1, the through passage 11 penetrates through the main tray body 1, and the plugging mechanism 2 is detachably embedded in the through passage 11. The plugging mechanism 2 comprises at least one exploring tube 21 with a hollowed-out middle part, and the exploring tube 21 is used for assisting an endoscope in observing the sediment accumulation condition above the main tray body 1.
The main tray body 1 is a main body of the distribution tray, the main tray body 1 is in a circular tray body structure, the periphery of the main tray body 1 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the ebullated bed reactor, so that a closed reaction area is formed above the main tray body 1, and a plurality of regularly arranged bubble cap assemblies 5 on the distribution tray can realize uniform gas-liquid distribution. The bubble cap assembly 5 is an important structure inside the ebullated bed reactor, and by connecting the bubble cap assemblies 5 uniformly arranged on the distribution tray, it is possible to effectively uniformly distribute the gas and the liquid into the catalyst bed in the ebullated bed reactor.
The bubble cap assembly 5 allows for thorough mixing and even distribution of the gas and liquid as it enters the reactor by its unique structure, such as the openings in the bubble cap and the design of the bubble cap. This helps to avoid too high or too low a gas-liquid concentration in the local area, thereby improving the reaction efficiency. The reasonable bubble cap design can reduce the pressure drop of the fluid when the fluid passes through the distributor, reduce the energy consumption and improve the overall performance of the reactor. The bubble cap assembly 5 also effectively prevents catalyst from depositing on the distributor, maintains the activity of the catalyst, and prolongs the service life of the catalyst. The design of the bubble cap assembly 5 helps to enhance the mixing effect between the gas, liquid and solid phases, and the reaction is more complete and uniform.
The bubble cap is normally provided with a certain number of holes, and the sizes and the distribution modes of the holes are designed according to the specific requirements of the reactor. The material of the bubble cap is usually a corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant material, such as stainless steel. The bubble cap is a component mounted on the bubble cap for further dispersion of gas and liquid. The bubble cap design also takes into account the flow characteristics of the fluid and the operating conditions of the reactor. A distribution tray is located below the blister assembly 5 for evenly distributing fluid over the individual blisters. The distribution plate is also typically perforated or slotted to allow smooth passage of fluid.
In ebullated bed reactors, the bubble cap assembly 5 is typically mounted at the bottom or middle of the reactor, with gas and liquid introduced into the reactor through a fluid pre-distributor and distribution tray. For example, in heavy residuum hydrogenation systems, ebullated bed reactors utilize the bubble cap assembly 5 to uniformly distribute hydrogen and hydrocarbon feedstock into the catalyst bed to achieve efficient hydrogenation reactions.

The internal gas in the reaction region above the distribution plate can be acquired and analyzed by the inspection tube 21 to confirm whether the conditions for safe entry of the operator are present. When the passing channel 11 is plugged and assembled back through the plugging mechanism 2, the plugging mechanism 2 can be integrally hoisted through the probing hole by penetrating the probing hole through the sling or the steel wire rope from the top of the reactor, so that the assembly and disassembly accuracy and safety of the plugging mechanism 2 are improved, the overhaul efficiency is further improved, and the overhaul safety and reliability are guaranteed.
