Acid gas heat tracing at the top of the solvent regeneration tower
Thread Content
On our solvent regeneration design drawings, the acidic gas coming out of the top of the regeneration tower passes through air cooling and then a water cooler before entering the acidic water separation tank. I can see that on the drawings, only the pipeline carrying the acidic gas from the outlet of the water cooler to the acidic water tank is equipped with a heat tracing system; there is no heat tracing system for the section from the top of the tower to the inlet of the water cooler. Does anyone know why it was designed this way? Let’s discuss it together
I think none do; we don’t have it here either, but it’s worth checking
It doesn’t make any sense; it’s probably not necessary at all. Maybe the designer overthought it
