LPG washing
Thread Content
The feed liquefied gas to the aromatization unit is washed; originally a washing tower was used, but it has now been replaced by a washing tank. The washing water is softened water rather than deionized water, and a mixer is employed for the washing process. Since Na ions can cause the catalyst to become inactive, the facility is equipped only with a water softening system and no desalination system; we are seeking everyone’s opinions on how to make modifications. Water washing is used to remove methanol from liquefied gas; will a static mixer alone be insufficient to achieve complete removal? Methanol can cause catalyst deactivation, so how does washing with water help? Gata is not realistic now…
Static mixers can fully meet the requirements; moreover, demineralized water is simply softened water – it’s just a different term for the same thing.
