Drainage from the inlet liquid separation tank of the reciprocating compressor
Thread Content
The remote liquid level reading of the compressor inlet separator tank is inaccurate. Is it necessary to drain liquid from it frequently on site? Is it dangerous if the gas phase from the inlet separator tank enters the underground sludge tank?
Generally, it is cut once a day; if there is liquid level, an appropriate amount is cut off
In our setup, we keep the main exhaust slightly open; once gas is detected, we quickly close the secondary exhaust, which helps to prevent pressure interference. Although strictly speaking it is considered improper operation…
It is dangerous; it is recommended to replace or calibrate the remote level gauge promptly
It is recommended to conduct an inspection in each shift; a supervisor must be present during the liquid discharge process, and they should wear a toxic gas detector, as the hydrogen sulfide concentration here is very high
This is completely unreliable; it’s better to just discharge it externally. Aren’t you practically blind then? How can you determine whether the drainage is complete, and whether too much or too little has been drained? It is recommended to reverse the vehicle immediately to check the level gauge
