What is the density threshold above which slurry is not suitable for reprocessing?

2011-05-19View Original

Thread Content

At what density above which is the slurry unsuitable for reprocessing? At what density below which must the slurry be reprocessed? Is 1000 kg/m3 a suitable threshold? Is there still value in reprocessing it if it’s below 990? Residual carbon is also a key parameter; generally, what level should it not exceed for reprocessing? Is a 7–8% threshold acceptable? Talk about the slurry quality data of your unit as well. Typically, it is 1000 plus or minus 10; the residual carbon content is 7–11%, with a value around 9 being common.

Here, if the density of the oil slurry is within 1000 plus or minus 10, it is sent back for reprocessing; it’s a shame to discard it.

The density is generally kept below 1.02

Here, the density of the oil slurry is kept at or below 1.05; it is all sent outside. We use heavy oil catalysis

It is not recommended to reprocess the slurry; it is generally fed into the coking process

We are testing the oil slurry as a fuel oil for furnaces, but the nozzles tend to clog easily, and a large amount of dust accumulates on the furnace tubes, which affects thermal efficiency; therefore, regular cleaning is necessary! Sometimes it is also blended with crude oil in a certain proportion; the density of crude oil is usually around 950, while there are no specific parameters for the oil slurry, but it’s roughly around 1100!
