Patent number: 7641450Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a transfer method and a transfer facility for an easily polymerizable substance that limits standing retention of the easily polymerizable substance in the feed pump, etc., and the generation and adherence of solid matter such as polymer or precipitate that accompanies such retention, in a facility in which respective feed pumps are disposed at the plurality of passages that branch off at the easily polymerizable substance inflow side and converge at the easily polymerizable substance outflow side. In this easily polymerizable substance transfer method, in the case where one feed pump 13 operates and the other feed pump 14 is stopped, a portion of the easily polymerizable substance is fed to feed pump 14 and second passage 12 in a direction that is opposite to the direction of flow of the easily polymerizable substance when feed pump 14 is activated.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michiyuki Kouno, Yasuhiro Kabu, Yoshiyuki Taniguchi, Nobuo Momodomi

Patent number: 7552740Abstract: A method for handling an easily polymerizable substance and a device for handling an easily polymerizable substance are provided that prevent polymerization of the easily polymerizable substance in a bypass line by renewing the easily polymerizable substance retained in the bypass line of a flow control valve or flow meter installed in a line through which flows liquid containing an easily polymerizable substance. The method for handling an easily polymerizable substance renews liquid containing an easily polymerizable substance retained in the bypass line by intermittently opening and closing a bypass shutoff valve. The method for handling an easily polymerizable substance allows a portion of a liquid containing an easily polymerizable substance flowing through a line to flow through a bypass line by opening a bypass shutoff valve during handling of a liquid containing an easily polymerizable substance.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2003Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Kabu, Yoshimasa Ando, Nobuo Momodomi

Patent number: 7462262Abstract: A vertical multitubular heat exchanger that can prevent clogging of a polymerized material and is continuously operable for an extended period of time is provided. The vertical multitubular heat exchanger (1) of the present invention introduces a process fluid containing an easily-polymerizable substance into heat exchanger tubes (28) to perform heat exchange. The vertical multitubular heat exchanger (1) includes a shell (2) extending in a vertical direction, an upper tube sheet (8) and a lower tube sheet (10) respectively disposed at the upper portion (4) and the lower portion (6) of the shell (2), and a plurality of heat exchanger tubes (28) whose outer circumferences (26) of both ends are respectively fixed to the upper tube sheet (8) and the lower tube sheet (10). An upper surface (34) of the upper tube sheet (8) is formed to be sloped and at least one of the heat exchanger tubes (28) is disposed in the vicinity of the lowest position of the upper surface (34) of the upper tube sheet (8).Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2004Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomomichi Hino, Akira Ogawa, Shigetoshi Shimauchi, Toshihiro Sato, Yasuhiro Kabu

Patent number: 7419932Abstract: The method for preserving a catalyst of the present invention is characterized in that, in a process for continuously producing an objective product by a vapor phase oxidation reaction using a phosphorus-molybdenum-vanadium catalyst containing phosphorus, molybdenum and vanadium, the phosphorus-molybdenum-vanadium catalyst retained in a reactor is maintained under a condition of a water content of 30 mg or less per 1 g of catalyst dry weight, before the start of the reaction or during the stop of the reaction. By this, deterioration of the catalyst retained in the reactor can be simply prevented.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2004Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiyuki Taniguchi, Toru Kuroda, Hideyasu Takezawa, Yasuhiro Kabu
