How to make full use of the abundant heat energy in chemical plants
Thread Content
Experts, please share your experiences! I’ll throw out some ideas to spark discussion! Our company has removed the air cooler; the heat generated is now used as a heat source for a certain tower reboiler. I’m not sure what the results are
I’m not sure if it’s a exothermic reactor with a waste heat boiler! Steam boiler with condensate recovery! Add a three-way valve to the heat transfer oil furnace! Use flare gas as fuel for the boiler!
I’ve always wondered why, in the past, when a torch tower was built, so much energy was simply burned away
The turbines in our company can be considered as a form of reusing steam, as well as the proper use of heat exchangers – for example, cooling first with air, then with water, and finally with ammonia liquid. I think this represents effective utilization of thermal energy
It seems that the current trend is to use \"clamping point\" technology for energy matching and hierarchical utilization, as well as increasing investment in heat exchangers in order to reduce energy consumption
Because the flare network is the location where all the plant’s exhaust gases, as well as materials released in emergency situations within the facility, are discharged, its composition and flow rates are quite complex. If the excess air coefficient is high, it will cause significant loss in efficiency when fed into the furnace; moreover, the burners have high requirements regarding fuel. Using exhaust gases indiscriminately often has the opposite effect.
