Abstract
There is disclosed a chemical reaction installation in which a number of chemical reaction vessels are arranged efficiently so as to decrease an installation area while keeping a good maintainability. A processing system is provided at the inside, and a multi-story construction is provided, and access for maintenance purposes can be obtained from the side of each floor of the multi-story construction.
Claims11
A chemical reaction installation comprising a pillar mounted on a floor surface;
- a plurality of floors provided on said pillar in spaced relation to one another in a direction of a height of said pillar;
- a chemical reaction portion formed by a plurality of chemical reaction vessels provided on each of said floors;
- a through portion provided at an inside of the chemical reaction installation and extending through each of said plurality of floors, process variables occurring in accordance with a reaction in said chemical reaction vessels being supplied into or discharged from said chemical reaction vessels through said through portion;
- and a crane provided at the outside of said chemical reaction portion for exchanging each of said chemical reaction vessels.
A chemical reaction installation comprising a plurality of pillars mounted on a floor surface;
- a plurality of floors provided on each of said pillars in spaced relation to one another in a direction of a height of said pillar;
- a plurality of chemical reaction portions each formed by a plurality of chemical reaction vessels provided on each of said floors;
- a through portion provided at an inside of the chemical reaction installation and extending through each of said plurality of floors, process variables occurring in accordance with a reaction in said chemical reaction vessels being supplied into or discharged from said chemical reaction vessels through said through portion;
- and at least one crane provided between said chemical reaction portions for exchanging said chemical reaction vessels.
A chemical reaction installation, comprising:
- a plurality of floors supported in spaced relation to one another in a vertical direction;
- a plurality of chemical reaction vessels provided at least around a perimeter of each of said plurality of floors;
- at least one input conduit extending vertically through said plurality of floors inside said perimeter, each of said plurality of chemical reaction vessels being operably connected to said at least one input conduit via an isolation valve, whereby reactants can be selectively supplied to each chemical reaction vessel from said input conduit;
- an output conduit extending vertically through said plurality of floors inside said perimeter thereof, each of said plurality of chemical reaction vessels being operably connected to said output conduits, whereby a product produced in each chemical reaction vessel can be supplied from each chemical reaction vessel to said output conduit;
- a crane provided outside said perimeter of said floors, said crane being movable vertically and being rotatable;
- wherein spaces between floors around said perimeter of said floors are open so that said crane can remove any of said plurality of chemical reaction vessels from any of said floors across and to outside said perimeter.
