The normal operating pressure for the low-pressure ammonium methoxide condenser is 4 bara, with a maximum pressure of 6 bara. Can it operate at 6 bara for an extended period of time? ?
4 bar is already high; normal operations are carried out at levels below 3 bar. Why hasn’t the safety valve activated at 6 bar? ?
May I ask the original poster: What is the design pressure of your low-pressure ammonium methoxide condenser? If the gauge pressure is 6 bar, it’s estimated to be above the design pressure, right?
I’ve seen cases of distortion before, but I’ve never heard of it being this severe; it’s astonishing.
What is the design pressure of the equipment? In terms of process design, the setting pressure of the safety valve is 0.51 MPa! How to operate at 0.6MPa?
First of all, thank the original poster for using the in-site message to ask questions! Thank you, OP, for trusting me! Regarding the original poster’s question, I think you can basically understand it by reading the replies from other users above Regarding this question, if the original poster asks whether 0.5 MPa is feasible, is it possible to do so? I think my answer is a definite yes! In other words, I can tell you confidently that it’s possible to do it! (Freedom sailors, please don’t say I’m too bold – please read the analysis below.) Of course, it depends on the setting value that your device applies to the safety valve’s pressure setting. If I remember correctly, the set pressure for the safety valve of the low-pressure system is 0.6 (although it may vary among different manufacturers). We can list the following special operating conditions: the stripping tower being filled with liquid, CO2 escaping to the low-pressure side, crystallization and blockage in the low-pressure methamine condenser, synthesis product discharge, and another special condition is a severe imbalance in the components of the system. Under the above several special operating conditions, the pressure in the low-pressure system can exceed its normal level, and you will have the opportunity to see the maximum pressure value of that system. The original poster might as well conduct a long-term statistics on this. In this case, the low-pressure system will reach its maximum value and may persist for a long time; you cannot hesitate in making adjustments due to high low-pressure levels, thus losing the opportunity to make such adjustments. So I say that if you’re asking about 0.5, I can confidently tell you that it’s feasible to do so – of course, this depends on your excellent skills in assessing accidents, handling them, and preventing subsequent accidents! The operating pressure range for low-pressure systems is generally 0.15–0.25; under normal operation, it usually does not exceed this range significantly. Therefore, once it exceeds the standard, the cause should be identified promptly; in other words, this phenomenon is used as a basis and starting point for determining whether an accident has occurred, rather than indicating that normal operation is possible! It should also be noted that the activation of the safety valve is considered an incident that requires handling. As a* performer, I must strictly follow the safety procedures when operating. Over-temperature and over-pressure are not allowed during production. I wonder if the above answer can clarify things for the original poster?
