VCM vinyl chloride gas-liquid separator
Thread Content
Is there anyone familiar with the gas-liquid separator used in conjunction with VCM air coolers? 1. What principle is employed for separation, and what are its material and structural characteristics? 2. The PVC production capacity is 120,000 tons. What are the dimensions of the gas-liquid separator installed after the air-cooler for crude vinyl chloride? 3. Are there any professional manufacturers you can recommend? Thank you
The gas-liquid separator located after the air cooler for crude vinyl chloride (VCM) – are you referring to the gas-liquid separator that is situated below the crude vinyl chloride condenser? Nowadays, it is combined with the feed tank of the low-boiling-point tower; no separate gas-liquid separator is used anymore. For an annual production capacity of 120,000 tons of PVC resin, a horizontal storage tank with a volume of 5–8 cubic meters can be used as the feed tank for the low-boiling-point tower, equipped with a partition inside to separate the feed side from the discharge side, which helps to separate water from the monomer. The discharge pipe is a bottom-insertion type pipe; after oil and water separation, the liquid flows over the partition and enters the low-boiling tower on the discharge port side. The gas phase is connected to the outlet pipe of the total condenser as a balance tube, which serves both to separate gas from liquid and to remove water.
I agree with the opinion from the second floor, but I suggest that the buffer tank for 120,000 tons of crude vinyl chloride should have a capacity of over 10 cubic meters.
As mentioned on the second floor, our factory also doesn’t use the air cooler you mentioned; complete condensation takes place before the low tower.
