Analysis of the heat source medium at the bottom of the catalytic unit tower
Thread Content
Analysis of the heat source medium at the bottom of the catalytic unit: We are currently using steam at 1.0 Mpa. The optimization firm hired by our company recommends using the first fractionation tower; what medium do you use as the heat source?
Is just using medium-grade oil sufficient in terms of heat output? What is the process involved in separating medium-grade oil?
We changed the steam to medium oil
It is recommended to calculate the heat amount based on the temperature.
If the single oil system operates stably, it can be used as a heat source, but a steam heat exchanger should still be available as a backup.
Our desorption tower uses heat from steam, while the stabilizer tower uses heat from oil slurry. The heat source for the secondary desorption tower uses 1.0 Mpa steam, while the heat source for the stabilization tower uses medium-pressure steam.
Isn’t all the light oil used for the stabilizer tower? For our distillation tower, we have a choice between light diesel distillate and steam
Our process design is the same as yours
Light diesel is not often used as a heat source for contact in distillation towers; what is the performance like when it is used?
