Tar processing, problems with phenol removal/decomposition of fractions
Thread Content
Brothers. The tar processing capacity at my facility is 15 10,000 tons per year, with one set of equipment for this purpose. As is well known in this industry, during the distillation and phenol removal process, naphthalene oil is first discharged into a buffer tank after passing through the primary washing tower; thereafter, it is pumped into the secondary washing tower using a secondary pumping unit. If any of your colleagues have done this, may I ask what size the buffer tank needs to be in that case? And is the flow rate from the secondary washing pump continuous or intermittent? And there are also those scrubber columns you’re using now – do they extract phenates from the industrial naphthalene feedstock?
Are there any brothers who study this field?
Bro, where are you from? I’m quite interested in tar; I was wondering if there’s any chance for us to work together
We have 300,000 tons. Both the primary and secondary buffer tanks have a capacity of around 10 tons. The secondary washing pump operates intermittently. With two series of washing towers, phenolate will definitely be extracted from the raw material; there’s no doubt about that!
