Tower water carryover issue
Thread Content
Severe water carryover in the reforming depentanizer can lead to what changes, and how should it be addressed? (The bottom temperature should be controlled at 120-130 degrees)
Quite a lot; the flow rate in the rubber hose discharged by the pump at the top of the tower has been increased to its maximum, but it’s not possible to stop the operation, and the pump at the bottom of the tower often runs out of fluid
It is recommended to check whether the cooler has been punctured; theoretically, naphtha should not contain such a high amount of moisture
I haven’t come into contact with it before, so I’m not familiar with the manufacturing process, but a dryer (one with a filter element) could be an option
