Can 0.6 MPa of wax oil meet the pressure requirement as fuel for the heating furnace?
Thread Content
The newly modified independent fuel oil system does not have a high-pressure pump; it only has a screw pump with a pressure of 0.4 MPa, although the maximum pressure that can be achieved is 0.6–0.7 MPa. I would like to ask those with experience: is this pressure sufficient for the burner to burn properly?
Based on the pressure of the fuel oil used in front of the furnace, 0.2–0.3 Mpa should be sufficient; however, isn’t it wasteful to use wax oil as fuel?
It is reduced distillate wax oil separated from catalytic slurry; this oil has such a high specific gravity that no one wants to buy it, so it is used as fuel for heating.
The pressure is no problem; what’s needed is a feedback line for the pump to prevent pressure buildup. This will also ensure stable flow and pressure in the fuel oil line. It would be a waste to use it as fuel oil – it’s better to use it as a feedstock for residue hydrogenation
It should be sufficient; our device uses reduced-pressure oil, with the pressure kept between 0.5 and 0.8
