Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a flammable and explosive liquid transportation system and a method and an application thereof. The system includes a gas inlet pipe and a liquid transportation pipeline; a first valve and a second valve are sequentially disposed on the gas inlet pipe; two ends of the liquid transportation pipeline respectively communicate with the raw material barrel and a reaction vessel, a third valve, a fifth valve, and a seventh valve are sequentially disposed on the liquid transportation pipeline; the gas inlet pipe and the liquid transportation pipeline communicate with each other, and a fourth valve is disposed on the connecting pipe; a bypass pipe is disposed on the liquid transportation pipeline, and a sixth valve is disposed on the bypass pipe. The present disclosure resolves problems of a high risk and poor environmental protection caused by an existing flammable and explosive liquid transfer manner.

Claims (20)

1. A flammable and explosive liquid transportation system, comprising a gas inlet pipe ( 1 ) and a liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ), wherein

one end of the gas inlet pipe ( 1 ) communicates with a raw material barrel ( 6 ), the other end of the gas inlet pipe ( 1 ) communicates with an inert gas source, a first valve group is disposed on the gas inlet pipe ( 1 ), and the first valve group sequentially comprises a first valve ( 2 ) and a second valve ( 4 ) along a gas flow direction;

two ends ( 18 ) of the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ) respectively communicate with the raw material barrel ( 6 ) and a reaction vessel ( 15 ), a second valve group is disposed on the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ), the second valve group sequentially comprises a third valve ( 7 ), a fifth valve ( 9 ), and a seventh valve ( 14 ), the third valve ( 7 ) is disposed near the raw material barrel ( 6 ), a one-way valve is disposed on the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ), the one-way valve is disposed in parallel with the fifth valve ( 9 ), and the one-way valve only allows a liquid or a gas to enter the reaction vessel ( 15 ) from the raw material barrel ( 6 );

the gas inlet pipe ( 1 ) and the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ) communicate with each other through a connecting pipe ( 5 ), a fourth valve ( 8 ) is disposed on the connecting pipe ( 5 ), a joint between the connecting pipe ( 5 ) and the gas inlet pipe ( 1 ) is disposed at a front end of the second valve ( 4 ), and a joint between the connecting pipe ( 5 ) and the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ) is disposed at a rear end of the third valve ( 7 ) when a liquid is transported from the raw material barrel ( 6 ) to the reaction vessel ( 15 ); and

a bypass pipe ( 11 ) is disposed on the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ), one end of the bypass pipe ( 11 ) communicates with the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ), the other end of the bypass pipe ( 11 ) communicates with a water storage container ( 13 ), and a sixth valve ( 12 ) is disposed on the bypass pipe ( 11 ).

2. The flammable and explosive liquid transportation system according to claim 1 , wherein a view mirror ( 17 ) is disposed on the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ), and the view mirror ( 17 ) is made of transparent material.

3. The flammable and explosive liquid transportation system according to claim 2 , wherein the view mirror ( 17 ) is disposed between the third valve ( 7 ) and the fifth valve ( 9 ).

4. The flammable and explosive liquid transportation system according to claim 1 , wherein a pressure gauge ( 3 ) and a safety valve are disposed on the gas inlet pipe ( 1 ).

5. The flammable and explosive liquid transportation system according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the liquid transportation pipeline ( 10 ) is inserted into a bottom of the reaction vessel ( 15 ).
