How to remove wax from the fusel oil tank
Thread Content
The fusel oil tank level gauge indicates the presence of wax; may I ask how to remove it?
A blind flange is installed at the taraxol oil outlet, and steam is used for steaming.
Generally, this is done to remove fusel oil from the fusel storage tank; thereafter, blind flanges are installed on the inlet and outlet ports, and the tank is flushed with medium-pressure steam.
If fusel oil is not removed, then won’t the water solubility be substandard?
I recommend applying steam heating to the fusel oil storage tank. I don’t know if it’s feasible. There shouldn’t be much of a problem.
Is it useful to add heat tracing if waxing occurs?
For thorough cleaning, steam should be used; for rough cleaning, crush the wax flakes, wash them with water, and clean them with a broom
At what temperature does wax melt?
To remove impurities completely, steaming is the best method, but heating with the residual liquid can also be used during operation.
The paraffin observed in the fusel oil tank has a melting point of over 75 degrees; the level gauge is equipped with a float and a magnetic indicator. Wall-mounted paraffin can be seen only during inspections, and it can be removed by blowing steam against the outer wall of the sleeve. If paraffin accumulates in the fusel oil pipeline, steam should be used to clear it at the pump outlet drain.
