How does a separator remove wax?
Thread Content
Hello everyone: In methanol synthesis, paraffin increases in the later stages of CAT, and it tends to accumulate more on the water cooler. But there is also a certain amount on the methanol separator; how can it be removed? The steam pipeline is designed in front of the water cooler, while the separation design temperature
Does this device have a large cover or hood? The usual cleaning method is to remove the internal components before cleaning.
When parking, the spare port can be opened to allow steam to pass through, and the port for releasing crude alcohol can be opened to discharge condensate! After hot washing, be sure to check that the alcohol level gauge is not blocked by dirt.
Introduce steam intermittently from the bottom of the separator; try discharging it
The seam can be opened, the circulating water on the other side can be drained, and then steam can be used for heat welding.
Generally, there is a backflow system for steam cleaning and the discharge of liquid wax; during shutdown, steam can be used to remove the wax.
Your separators don’t have manholes, and their internal structure is quite complex. We use a single tank that relies on centrifugal force for separation; after it stops operating, people can enter to clean it. In the case of systems like yours, one has to shorten the atmospheric vent pipe, or if that’s not possible, remove a blind plate, add water, and then use steam for cleaning.
That won’t happen. The internal structure of a separator is complex, and it usually has manholes. If the blockage isn’t too severe, the steam pipelines connected to the separator can be used; during shutdown, steam can be introduced into the separator, and the heat from the steam can be used to melt the paraffin, which can then be removed through the bottom outlet! ! !
