During normal production, can the reaction furnace and the distillation furnace be combined into one?
What is the meaning of your unity? If shared furnace bodies are to be used, it is feasible to separate the reaction furnace tubes from the distillation furnace tubes with partition walls and control the temperatures separately; this is exactly the method used in our aviation fuel hydrogenation process
Catalytic reforming uses a “four-in-one” furnace; however, the temperature of each furnace chamber as well as the temperature of the process material after preheating are adjusted separately and independently, with the furnaces simply being combined into one unit. This structural approach can also be applied to hydrogenation reactor tubes and distillation columns.
A single waste heat recovery system can be shared. It is still difficult to use one furnace to heat two media with different heat requirements; it’s a good idea though\ud83d\udc4c
