How to switch in case of a failure in the adsorption tower for hydrogen production via pressure swing adsorption

2018-07-29View Original

Thread Content

Our workshop uses a 5-1-3V methanol cracking process to produce hydrogen. I have a question: during operation, if one of the towers fails, is it possible to isolate that tower and switch to a 4-1-2V configuration? How does one go about doing that? How to switch back after repairing the faulty tower. Is there anything else to be aware of? What does \"step\" mean as well? I hope the experts can help answer this.

We have Cheta right here; we can simply remove it! During recovery, click to switch in directly, and the system will switch in automatically at the appropriate time. The typical entry time is during parsing

We are all automated, so abnormalities in the towers occur very rarely

Do I need to be concerned about pressure? For example, if absorption is in progress and the system suddenly fails, the tower has to be removed; if the pressure is too high, could it affect other towers?

All of this is tuned by the manufacturer during construction; the switching between towers is automatic. All you need to do is ensure that the on-site manual valves and the process are in order, and the rest is just a matter of pressing buttons

Adsorption towers are generally equipped with a sequential automatic tower switching system, and when switching occurs, the system determines the most appropriate sequence based on pressure. Cheta will more or less have an impact on system pressure. It is also possible to manually switch towers; if you have such a procedure, you can do it during the isolated steps, or during the reverse playback, rinsing, or vacuuming phase

We use an 8-4-1 approach; for towers that are confirmed to have problems, each tower is subject to a resection procedure – simply carrying out the resection is sufficient

In the event of a fault, it will be cut off immediately; to start operation, simply click to initiate it, and the program will automatically start running. Your step control function allows you to click to advance through the steps, and all programs will proceed to the next stage!

Switching between channels can be done automatically (without human intervention, as the system makes the decision on its own) or manually (requiring operator intervention to make the switch). This is usually done when faults in solenoid valves or programmable valves affect the process parameters or safe production. If the shutdown is caused by a problem with the solenoid valve, the battery valve can be replaced after it has been removed; the operation steps and key points should follow the operating procedures. If the tower is shut down due to a problem with the programmable valve, online maintenance is generally not allowed. As intended by the questioner, it should be Ceta that controls the solenoid valve, and the switching should be done manually. When switching on, it is necessary to ensure that the state of the adsorption tower and its pressure are compatible (it is extremely dangerous to switch on under conditions where the adsorption pressure is at a level corresponding to the reverse operation sequence).
