Thermal reflux in the vacuum tower

2019-04-08View Original

Thread Content

Dear masters, why is there thermal reflux on line 1 of the pressure reduction tower, but not on line 2, while there is thermal reflux on line 3? What is each one’s function?

It must be for the thermal balance of the entire tower

  Cement is an essential material in house construction; it is used to strengthen the connection between the bricks, making it an indispensable substance. Since the reform and opening up, the pace of housing construction in China has accelerated alongside economic development. The rapidly built houses come with certain risks, and one such risk is foam; fortunately, cement mortar defoamers are available to eliminate this problem.   Cement is divided into three types: general-purpose cement, special-purpose cement, and specialty cement. Manufacturers of cement mortar defoamers explain that each type of cement has its own unique uses and properties, enabling it to be applied to various building-related tasks. The production process of silicate cement is representative in cement manufacturing. It uses limestone and clay as primary raw materials, which are crushed, blended, and ground to form clinker; this clinker is then fed into a cement kiln to be calcined into mature cement. Finally, the mature cement is ground together with an appropriate amount of gypsum (and sometimes mixed materials or admixtures).   The reasons for foaming when cement is used are as follows: (1) Improper grading, with too much coarse aggregate and too little fine aggregate ;   (2) Improper aggregate size, excessive content of flaky and needle-shaped particles ;   (3) Concrete with high water consumption and a high water-cement ratio ;   (4) It is related to certain admixtures as well as the chemical composition of the cement itself. Defoamers. Biochemical treatment involves using microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa to oxidize and break down harmful substances in water into harmless ones. These microorganisms can survive in water containing toxins, use these toxins as nutrients for reproduction, and thereby convert the toxins into new substances that are harmless to humans.   For defoamers, the greatest advantage is their ability to eliminate foam rapidly, as well as their foam-suppressing properties. In various manufacturing processes, numerous bubbles can form due to factors inherent in silicone-free defoamers or as a result of external environmental conditions. Small bubbles can dissipate on their own, but when there is an increasing number of bubbles, if they are not removed promptly, it can hinder the progress of production and also affect the quality of the products manufactured.   For a company, every minute and second of operation is extremely valuable; therefore, if the smooth progress of production processes is not ensured, it often leads to unnecessary losses. For large amounts of foam, this leads to unnecessary losses for businesses; it not only delays production but also results in waste of funds, time, labor, and so on. Therefore, in various industrial processes, it is particularly important to ensure the elimination of foam; only by getting rid of these foams can businesses operate smoothly, which in turn has a positive impact on their development.

This situation is mainly due to the design of the oil collection tank; when all the oil is extracted, heat reflux is necessary to maintain the liquid phase load in the filler below, while cold reflux returns heat to the tower after absorbing it. If it’s not available in level 2, is it provided by the cold return from level 3? You can take a look at the structure.

Both cold reflux and hot reflux are calculated based on the heat balance of the tower; they are both determined through calculations at the design stage, taking into account the properties of the raw materials In fact, both cold reflux and hot reflux can achieve certain results; it’s just that optimization calculations were carried out during the design phase to determine the most effective approach
