Coker residue loading onto ship

2009-02-23View Original

Thread Content

Dear sea friends: Please share what the maximum transfer distance for unloading atmospheric residue oil from ships is (Each ship type is assumed to have on-board power)

Please make it clear whether it is loading or unloading. The transportation distance for atmospheric pressure residue oil depends on factors such as the viscosity of the residue oil, the power and head of the transfer pump, and the diameter of the residue oil pipelines. In short, the conditions aren’t complete, so it’s hard to answer.

It is the unloading of residue oil at atmospheric pressure; if there is sufficient power and head for the transfer pumps, then the diameter of the residue oil pipeline can be calculated directly. What I need are those basic data points you mentioned. Since there are currently no specific references available regarding the actual situation of transporting atmospheric-pressure residue using oil tankers of 20,000 to 30,000 tons capacity, those with such experience are welcome to share their insights. 1. What is the power and head required for the transfer pumps used in transporting atmospheric-pressure residue via 20,000 to 30,000 ton capacity oil tankers? 2. What is the transportation temperature? Based on the above data, it is possible to roughly calculate the pipe diameter and transmission distance required for transportation. 3. What difficulties need to be taken into account and overcome? I would appreciate it if more detailed information could be provided: handshake. This post was last edited by XZDING01 on 2009-2-23 at 14:10

These questions are hard to answer. It is recommended to contact the oil tanker to conduct actual investigations. The type of pump is quite important.

Generally, the head of ship pumps is around 1.0 MPa. The transportation temperature for residue oil depends on its freezing point; it seems that the \"Design Code for Storage Areas in Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems\" specifies recommended transportation temperatures for certain types of fluids, which can be used as a reference. If the tank farm is located far from the port, it is recommended that, if possible, communication be established with the owner to identify the shipping company, gather information on the ship’s engine, or obtain details about the ship through the maritime authorities. I also want to collect it, but I couldn’t find it. If anyone has relevant information, I hope they will kindly share it! ! !

It mainly depends on the power of the pump installed on the bed, as well as the diameter of the pipes used for transportation. In fact, if the distance is too great, it’s possible to use a relay pump; so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

There are very few similar cases in China. If anyone is aware of any, could they please provide some contact information or company names so that we can get in touch? Thank you!
