Recovery of C5 components such as cyclopentadiene
Thread Content
Pentane components such as cyclopentadiene need to be recovered using a condenser at 5 KPa; what temperature is required for the condensation process in order to achieve a high recovery rate? And when loading gasoline into a tank, to what temperature must the volatile gases inside the tank be cooled in order to obtain a high recovery rate?
5 KPa is the back pressure in the flare network. The boiling point of cyclopentadiene is approximately 41°C; cooling it to -30°C yields a relatively high yield. If gasoline is to be loaded, cooling it to -70°C is required in order to achieve a yield of over 90%.
