The chlorine content in crude benzene is severely above the limit

2015-08-19View Original

Thread Content

Recently, the chlorine content in the crude benzene produced by the company has exceeded the allowable limits by a factor of 2,000:L. What should be done? Recently, a cleaning was carried out due to high resistance in the benzene washing tower; the composition of the cleaning agent is unknown. Could this be related to the issue? What should be done going forward? Urgent! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Solve! ! ! ! ! ! !

What kind of cleaning agent is it? Is the excessive level of chlorine in crude benzene measured by taking samples from benzene transport vehicles or from benzene tanks?

Due to the high resistance of the benzene washing tower, hot oil cleaning was ineffective. Upon opening the manhole, it was found that a large amount of sludge-like substance was attached to the distributor; therefore, a company specialized in cleaning benzene washing towers was contacted to carry out a cyclic cleaning process, the composition of the cleaning agent not being disclosed. After cleaning and resuming production, the color of the products produced turned dull with a slight green tint. After selling the crude benzene, the supplier sent samples for testing regarding chlorine levels; our factory is not capable of conducting such tests, so we don’t know whether the levels in the storage tanks are above the allowed limits.

Rinse with water, drain the water, and then analyze it using gravimetric analysis

A while ago, we also exceeded the limits, but the situation improved by increasing the amount of slag discharged from the tower top and the regenerating wash oil

Sure, deionized water, steam condensate

Many cleaning agents contain halohydrocarbons; it is impossible for chlorine to be introduced during normal production processes
