Crude oil stabilization
Thread Content
What are the reasons for the excessive final boiling point of the refined oil in the crude oil stabilizing unit? How can it be avoided?
There is an excess of high-boiling components at the tower top; the cause needs to be identified based on the stabilization process.
The reason why the heavier components end up at the top of the tower can be multiple: 1. The temperature at the bottom of the stabilizer is too high; the solution is to reduce this temperature； 2. The flow rate of the stabilizing slurry back to the system is too low; the solution is to increase this flow rate ； 3. The pressure in the stabilizer tower is low; the solution is to increase the operating pressure ； 4. Fluctuations in tower operating parameters; the solution is to stabilize these parameters.
Reply to 3# TANKUMA: Uh, thanks! It’s the stabilizer tower issue; we are currently adjusting the parameters.
