Chemical process flow and pump usage
Thread Content
I would like to learn about the specific process flows in coal chemical industry and oil refining, as well as the use of pumps in various equipment within these industries. Are there any reference books that can help me with this?
If you want to learn about coal chemical engineering, you can take a look at «An Introduction to New Technologies in C1 Chemical Engineering». It would be best to have the opportunity to see the flowchart. In the coal slurry preparation, gasification, and slag treatment units, pumps are used to transport fluids containing solid particles, and erosion caused by abrasive particles is a key factor to consider. In other units, it is not very different from ordinary chemical process pumps. I’m not very familiar with oil refining.
The topic is too broad; there are numerous types of pumps used in oil refining, including oil pumps (for light oil, heavy oil, residue oil, high-temperature, low-temperature applications), liquefied gas pumps, acid pumps, alkali pumps, water pumps (for high-temperature and low-temperature applications), and so on.
