What does “cut water” mean?
Thread Content
Dear seniors: During winter, to prevent freezing and condensation, it is necessary to strengthen the water removal from the raw material tanks, product tanks, and reflux tanks. What does \"water removal\" mean?
Cutting off water flow is not to prevent freezing and condensation, right? Generally, a small amount of water is present during the processing steps; it cools and accumulates in certain areas and separates from the oil (such as at the bottom of raw material tanks, product tanks, and reflux tanks). However, this large amount of water cannot be returned to the system. Water removal refers to the process of discharging this water to designated locations such as systems for treating oily wastewater. It is strictly prohibited to leave the area during this water removal process
The separated wastewater should be discharged under controlled conditions!
It’s layering. The English term is cut.
We call it dehydration – the wastewater resulting from the separation of oil and water
In winter, water tends to accumulate at the dehydration outlets of oil tanks, which can cause the dehydration valves and even the water tanks to crack. When the weather warms up and the ice melts, water and oil leak out through these cracks, leading to accidents. Therefore, in winter (especially in the older regions in the north), it is often necessary to remove water from oil tanks, that is, to eliminate any accumulated water in order to ensure the safety of the tanks.
It’s just dehydration; it’s just called by different names.
During dehydration, the system produces a small amount of water, which accumulates in the water-in-oil layer; this water needs to be removed. What was said on the 2nd floor is absolutely correct.
A more vivid way of putting it. After the oil and water separate, a distinct interface between them appears. Cutting off the water means releasing the separated water layer, which is equivalent to \"cutting\" through the interface between the two phases. It’s probably just for drainage
