What are the consequences of having high pressure followed by low pressure in the hydrogenation process? Damage to equipment in the low-pressure section?
An explosion of low-pressure equipment is very likely to occur.
What do you think?~~~~ If it isn’t detected in time, pressure surges can occur; in mild cases this leads to the safety valve activating, while in severe cases it can cause the low-pressure equipment downstream to explode~~~~~ Hopefully this will never happen~~~
It can cause damage to low-pressure equipment and pipelines; in mild cases there is leakage, while in severe cases explosions occur.
It’s easy to understand literally too: from high to low, the lower end surely can’t withstand it; either there will be leaks or an explosion.
Damage to low-pressure equipment: if it only bulges, it’s manageable; but if it ruptures, things get serious. Not to mention the risk of fire or explosion – even if the device is disconnected promptly and the fire is extinguished, an explosion may still occur. The manufacturing cycle for a device is quite long, and the consequence could be a shutdown of the entire system for over half a year
Low-pressure equipment cannot withstand high pressures; as a result, the safety valve activates. If pressure relief does not occur in a timely manner, it can lead to damage to the low-pressure equipment, causing it to rupture and resulting in fluid leakage, which in turn may trigger other accidents. .
A likely direct consequence is an explosion of the low-pressure equipment.
Overpressure in the piping of low-pressure equipment can lead to explosions or leaks; depending on the design pressure of such equipment, a jet flame may be generated in the event of a leak
At a mild level, it causes fluctuations in system pressure; at a more severe level, it can lead to accidents. The pressure setting for devices on the low-pressure side is also quite high, and as long as the system isn’t sealed, there are generally no problems
