Acid gas line at the top of the stripping tower
Thread Content
For the acidic gas pipeline at the top of the stripping tower in the stripping unit, is it still necessary to provide heat tracing for the acidic gas heat-tracing pipeline during summer? Should the heat tracing pipelines be turned off in summer? Please share your thoughts; extra points for that
Heat tracing is used to prevent corrosion caused by the low dew point of acidic gases, and it needs to be turned on even in summer
The acidic gas pipeline at the top of the stripping tower is prone to salt formation if its temperature is too low; it must remain operational even in summer.
In summer, the maximum outdoor temperature is around 40°C, while the steam used for heat tracing has a temperature of about 145°C due to a pressure of 0.35. Do you think it’s acceptable not to use it? First, you need to clarify what the purpose of installing heating is This is important!
