Discussion on Collecting and Addressing Technical Challenges in the Petrochemical Industry
Thread Content
This post was last edited by *nht1 on 2015-12-1 22:30. As domestic industrial production transitions toward Production 4.0 optimization, the petrochemical industry will also see an upgrade in its product structure as well as improvements in production management and control. Before that, however, our actual situation is likely one of striving to meet production targets; achieving higher efficiency will require the implementation of Industry 4.0. We are now seeking technical challenges encountered in actual production, such as reaction parameters deviating from the normal range, abnormal tower operation, heat exchange issues, etc. Actual case studies can be submitted for joint discussion. Do not submit purely technical concepts or principle-related questions in this post. I hope we can pool everyone’s wisdom to contribute to the upgrading of our country’s petrochemical industry!
One should share some actual work experience or something like that.
Based on personal experience, the benefits of achieving energy-efficient operation in line with standards far exceed those resulting from cost savings through various management measures. The prerequisite for this is usually lean management, and less capital investment is often required.
Once again, in an effort to stimulate further discussion, I have compiled the thread titles related to the issues I’ve been involved in: 1. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1508775&page=1#pid14718251 – The product obtained from the side stream of a distillation column has a high content of heavy components; how can this be reduced? 2. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1508780&page=1#pid14718267 – Striping and trimming. 3. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1506705&page=1#pid14705283 – Poor performance of thermal siphon reboilers. 4. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1503273&page=1#pid14668153 – What is the impact of the C6 components separated from the reformed oil on the pre-hydrogenation process in reforming? 5. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1492939&page=1#pid14571922 What are the reasons why a vacuum filter cannot discharge material? 6. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1492915&page=1#pid14572006 Our company has two French Cryostar LNG cryopumps; however, the pumps fail to generate pressure as the liquid moves from the LNG storage tank towards the loading point. 7. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1436401&page=1#pid14383356 What are the reasons for the high vibration levels in the regeneration fan of a reforming unit? 8. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1472684&page=1#pid14383395 How does the temperature at the top of a distillation tower affect the composition of the material extracted from there? 9. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1473662&page=1#pid14383177 Raising the pressure of propane by heating the propane tank, and maintaining this pressure as it is discharged. So how is the heating power calculated? 10. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1473665&page=1#pid14390973 After pre-hydrogenation, in addition to removing the head and separating C5 and C6, is there also a step of removing the tail?
