Shaking of gasoline hydrogenation stabilizer tower
Thread Content
Recently, the gasoline hydrogenation stabilizer has been shaking. Could some experts explain what might be the cause? There haven’t been any significant changes in the operating conditions
Solution: handshake
Has there been strong wind in your area recently?
Was a settlement test conducted before using the equipment? Additionally, since the equipment is quite tall, it has a certain degree of swing
Excluding the effect of wind, the height is around 30 meters. This phenomenon did not exist before; it has only appeared recently. Settlement has also been measured
No abnormalities were found in the feed pipeline; there is no vibration
Vertical containers inherently experience wind load-induced deflection. Maybe it wasn’t noticed before, but the equipment is supposed to sway to some extent due to wind loads. It’s wrong to fix it permanently.
But in the absence of wind, it can still make the nearby platforms shake; I’ve never seen anything this strong:before
Naphtha towers are generally small in diameter and tall in height, so it is normal for them to sway. I mean, the reboiler is fine, right?
It’s normal for the top of a tall structure like a stabilizer tower to sway; you’ll know this once you climb up there. Is yours that intense?
