Can the water separated from crude benzene be used as water for temperature and pressure reduction?
Thread Content
Marine engineers, let’s discuss whether the water separated from crude benzene can be used as water for temperature and pressure reduction, in order to reduce the temperature and pressure of steam; of course, the steam is used only for ammonia vaporization and benzene removal.
Is it the steam from dry quenching of coke? If it’s not steam from dry quenching of coke, then why reduce the temperature and pressure? Wouldn’t it be sufficient to adjust the boiler instead? Water obtained from the separation of crude benzene should work fine as the water used for reducing temperature and pressure
The steam could be steam from dry quenching of coke, or it could be boiler steam. Since there is a certain distance from the boiler to the end user, and boilers are not used solely for coking purposes, nor is coking used exclusively for chemical production, it is necessary to transport the steam at high temperature and pressure before reducing the pressure at the end user’s location.
Be careful! It is not recommended, as the separated water contains components such as phenols and ammonia; in particular, ammonia is highly corrosive to metals at high temperatures.
I don’t think there’s a problem; the question is whether anyone is willing to take the risk and give it a try
