Chapter Seventy-Five: Two Out of the Pipeline

After the Spring Festival, Geng Zhiyuan quickly devoted himself to the design of the Haizhou 1830 project.

The main framework of 300,000 tons of urea is still divided into six layers, and Ye Shoufeng is responsible for process calculation, process formulation, equipment layout, and one-time condition proposal. Wan Defu was responsible for the piping diagram of the first and second floors, the third and fourth floors belonged to Geng Zhiyuan, and the fifth and sixth floors were handed over to Wang Qiang.

Geng Zhiyuan once worked on the piping of 130,000 tons of urea main frame, and the equipment layout of 300,000 tons of urea main frame is similar, and the process flow is also very similar, so he is familiar with it and makes rapid progress.

However, the synthesis section of 180,000 tons of synthetic ammonia is completely different, although there are also 80,000 tons of synthetic ammonia drawings for reference, but the equipment and pipeline specifications of 180,000 tons of synthetic ammonia are much larger, not to mention, the operating pressure has reached a terrifying 26MPa.

26MPa means 2,650 tonnes per square metre of area. This value is not a specific concept for the average person, but it is equivalent to the pressure caused by the 2,650-meter-high freshwater layer on the inner wall of the pipe. If we take the dense sea water as an example, it is equivalent to the pressure of diving into the sea at a depth of 2,586 meters.

The pressure is high, and the wall thickness of the pipe needs to be increased accordingly. Taking the common DN150 pipe as an example, the commonly used DN150 medium and low pressure carbon steel pipe specification is 159x4.5, which means that the outer diameter is 159mm and the wall thickness is 4.5mm. The specification of the high-pressure pipeline with the same outer diameter is 159x28, which means that the wall thickness reaches an incredible 28mm, which is 6.22 times the wall thickness of the medium and low-pressure pipeline.

The higher the pressure, the corresponding increase in the wall thickness, the solution is not difficult, but with the increase of the wall thickness, the stiffness of the pipeline increases, which brings another difficult problem to solve: the increase in the rigidity of the pipeline leads to the decrease in the flexibility of the pipe system.

The hottest pipeline in the synthesis section is the second outlet pipeline from the synthesis tower to the waste heat boiler, the temperature reaches 300 degrees Celsius, the pipe specification is 325x50, and the material is expensive and rare 10MoWVNb.

The higher the temperature, the greater the expansion of the pipeline, and if the pipeline system does not have enough flexibility to absorb the expansion, it will lead to pipe breakage, flange deformation, weld failure and other consequences. The end result is that high-pressure nitrogen and hydrogen gas leaks to the outside world, causing tragic accidents such as explosions and combustion.

Therefore, the high-temperature and high-pressure pipelines in the synthesis section need to be analyzed for stress, and then a reasonable pipeline layout is designed according to the analysis results, and appropriate flexible supports are selected.

Unfortunately, Donghai Provincial Chemical Design Institute currently does not have a pipeline stress analysis major, nor does it have stress analysis professionals, and there is still a blank in this regard.

The direction of the second outlet pipeline can refer to the design of 80,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, but the specific design size and spring frame parameters cannot be copied. Geng Zhiyuan discussed with Lin Yin how to solve the current problem, and Lin Yin said: "The thermal engineering major has analysis software for calculating the auxiliary pipes of the boiler, so I can ask them for help." ”

"Oh, thermal stress analysis software?" Geng Zhiyuan was pleasantly surprised: "Can we learn to use our process?"

"Their software is used for thermal work, and it can only calculate steam and desalinated water, not other media. Lin Yin said: "The spring selected is also an electric standard, so we can only refer to it." ”

"I see. Geng Zhiyuan asked again: "Who should I ask for calculations?"

"You just need to find someone you know who specializes in thermal engineering, and then consider a bonus for him after the calculation. ”

"Oh, well. When it comes to thermal engineering, Geng Zhiyuan quickly thought of Wei Jianye, who came in the same year. He took the axonometric drawing of the second outlet pipeline to find Wei Jianye and explained the meaning in detail.

Wei Jianye scratched his head and said: "Our software can only calculate common steam pipelines, and the pressure of your process pipelines is so high and the wall thickness is so thick, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Geng Zhiyuan said helplessly: "Only your software can be used in our hospital now, if you don't help, I can only catch blind." ”

Wei Jianye said with a smile: "I'm ugly in the front, I can help you calculate, but the results are for reference only, don't look for me if there is a problem." ”

"Okay, if something goes wrong, I'll do it, right? I'm not going to confess to you. Geng Zhiyuan said in his heart, how can this be like the connection of the underground party, and you have to risk your life.

Just kidding, Wei Jianye is quite a buddy, and he will help him finish the calculation in the afternoon. In fact, there is a successful 80,000-ton synthetic ammonia piping diagram for reference, the pipeline direction is similar, the size is proportionally lengthened, and the flexibility problem is not too big.

However, the spring model supporting the pipe cannot be copied or scaled up, and needs to be accurately determined after software calculation.

High-pressure pipelines need to be designed one by one, and the so-called axonometric drawings refer to the three-dimensional graphics of a single pipeline. The Provincial Institute of Chemical Industry has not yet introduced 3D design software, and can only use the ISO function of CAD itself to draw manually on the computer, which is more time-consuming and laborious to design.

The main frame of urea plus the synthesis section, the design workload is very large, Geng Zhiyuan is so busy that he can't tell whether it's day or night, and what year it is. In late March, the construction drawing design of the FG project of the chemical research company was officially started, and the three sections of methanol distillation, synthesis section and urea main frame were put together.

On the evening of April 1, April Fool's Day, Geng Zhiyuan dragged his tired body to the office again to continue his work, but was surprised to find that Shen Xi appeared in the office for the first time.

"Shen Xi, why didn't you go to Ji Li's house for dinner?" Geng Zhiyuan sat down in his seat, took off his glasses and rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, and asked casually.

Shen Xi was silent for a long time before he said, "Geng Zhiyuan, Xu Yuanhang has been with you for a year, right?"

"Xu Yuanhang?" Geng Zhiyuan put on his glasses and wondered, "What?

"Why is he so shameless?"

Looking at Shen Xi's face distorted by anger, Geng Zhiyuan was surprised: "What the hell is wrong with him?"

Only then did Shen Xi say what was on his mind: "Everyone in our hospital knows that Ji Li is my girlfriend, Xu Yuanhang actually sticks to Ji Li every day, and doesn't do any work to tease her." I told Jiri to stay away from him and not talk to him. Ji Li still thinks I'm too careful, I think I'm stingy. ”

"And this?" Geng Zhiyuan has been busy with work recently, and he didn't notice such a big anecdote happening in the room.

"The relationship between the two of them was not ordinary a year ago, and it is even more uncommon after the New Year, Xu Yuanhang...... Sitting in Jili's seat all day long and getting tired of her. Do you think I can be willing in my eyes?" Shen Xi complained.

If Xu Yuanhang is really like Shen Xi said, sticking to Ji Li all day long, this is not just a matter of shamelessness, but too much bullying. prying the corner of the wall in front of other people's boyfriends, it is clear that he doesn't take Shen Xi seriously.

If Geng Zhiyuan encounters this kind of thing, is it tolerable or unbearable, nine times out of ten he has to find Xu Yuanhang to have a good chat with his fists to loosen his muscles. It's just that Shen Xi has always been introverted and weak, and he probably hasn't even fought. Otherwise, Xu Yuanhang dared to treat him as nothing, and directly bullied him to his face?

"What are your plans for this?" On the journey of love, Geng Zhiyuan can be described as a bitter tear, he doesn't want to watch a colleague in the office follow his old path.

"I don't know ...... either," Shen Xi, a big man, burst into tears when he said about his feelings: "I persuaded Ji Li, but not only did she not listen, but she also disliked my mother-in-law's nagging...... I, alas, can't say ......."

Seeing Shen Xi's incompetent appearance, Geng Zhiyuan suddenly became angry and said angrily: "What is the manly husband crying about?

Shen Xi wiped away his tears and said, "I'm sad, how can my relationship not be worth Xu Yuanhang's few words after so many years?

Geng Zhiyuan glanced at him sympathetically and persuaded: "Don't cry, just find a way to separate the two of you." ”

"How? I told her, and she didn't listen. ”

"That's ......" Geng Zhiyuan thought for a while and suggested: "You go to Director Han and ask him to get Xu Yuanhang to another office, the farther away the better." ”

"Will Director Han agree?" At the mention of the leader, Shen Xi shrank his head a little in fear.

Geng Zhiyuan said angrily: "How can you know if you don't ask? You tell him the truth, don't ask for any face, and tell him about the possible consequences." The director will understand, if something happens in the room, he will be the first to be unlucky. ”

"Okay, then I'll try. Shen Xi said resignedly.

"Alas, you......" Shen Xi's timid appearance made Geng Zhiyuan sigh anxiously.

On Monday, when he passed by the office next door on his way to the bathroom, Geng Zhiyuan took a look inside. Xu Yuanhangguo really sat in Ji Li's seat, and Ji Li was close to him, and the two of them were smiling and chatting happily.

"Shen Xi is finished!" Geng Zhiyuan keenly saw the appreciation in Ji Li's eyes, the appreciation of women for men. Once a woman gives this kind of look to a man, it proves that she is hopelessly in love with him. Shen Xi is afraid that he has been cuckolded, and whether he will become Wu Dalang depends on his creation.

"Lao Geng, the director agreed. Shen Xi ran back to the office excitedly and whispered to Geng Zhiyuan.

Looking at his happy face, Geng Zhiyuan really couldn't bear to hit his emotions, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Great, it's good news." ”

Shen Xi returned to his seat with cheerful steps, humming a melodious song softly in his mouth, and it could be seen that the young man was in a good mood. Geng Zhiyuan sighed secretly: "Another poor man who was abandoned by a woman." There is a saying that a man grows up in the hurt of a woman, and I hope he can survive this and grow into a true man. ”

Everyone knew about Xu Yuanhang and Ji Li, and Han Yingjie was also worried that something bad would happen if they were allowed to develop, so he transferred Xu Yuanhang to Jia Rui's office in Dongtou on the same day, far separated from Ji Li. But Xu Yuanhang was unmoved, and still relied on Ji Li's seat every day, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer, but Shen Xi gradually became decadent and thin.

Before going to bed at night, Geng Zhiyuan mentioned this matter in the dormitory, and Yu Qinghe laughed at him and said, "You only knew about this? ”

"Haven't I been busy lately, and besides, I don't like to gossip. Geng Zhiyuan was puzzled: "Xu Yuanhang can't find anyone, why do you have to rob Shen Xi's girlfriend?"

"Hey!" Yu Qinghe shouted: "You don't understand this, right? This is called conquest, and he successfully snatched his woman from other men, which shows that Xu Yuanhang is more attractive than Shen Xi." ”

"Poof!" Zhang Xin was drinking water, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of water, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ahem! What kind of fallacy and heresy are you? Is it reasonable to rob someone else's girlfriend?"

Yu Qinghe was about to argue a few more sentences, when he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xin's girlfriend had not yet graduated, and the two of them were separated, and Xu Yuanhang's actions might have aroused his heart, so he was very disgusted.

Yu Qinghe didn't say anything more, and lay down on the bed and said, "Go to sleep, there's nothing to worry about when you fall asleep." ”

Geng Zhiyuan glanced at the depressed Zhang Xin, smiled and lay down on the bed.
