Regarding the shutdown of the stripping tower
Thread Content
What is the difference between steam purging and steaming a stripping tower when the tower is shut down? Are the cold and hot feed lines, the measurement lines, and the acidic gas all purged using steam? Is the steam tower fed with steam at the bottom, and are the acidic gases at the top sent to the flare? Thank you
The difference between steam purging and steam distillation towers lies in conditions such as operating pressure, temperature, and emissions
The ultimate goal of steam purging is to bring all the pipelines and equipment involved in the purging process to a condition suitable for maintenance. The purpose of a steam tower is mainly to expel the oil and gas from the stripping tower or to maintain a thermal circulation state.
