The inlet of the oil and gas tower is blocked – how to fix it?
Thread Content
I have a question for everyone: the oil and gas entering the tower contain fine coke particles, and the temperature of the feed to the tower is quite high (500 degrees). This results in frequent coking and blockages at the inlet of the tower. Are there any ways to address this issue of coking and blockages at the tower inlet?
The tower is an oil and gas cooling tower that uses oil spraying
Agree with the person above; using oil spraying should work.
1. If possible, simulate the conditions under which coking occurs; if polymerization takes place due to high temperatures for an extended period, it is advisable to cool down rapidly. 2. In FCC units, when the reaction gases enter the distillation column, this kind of situation often arises – severe coking occurs in the inlet section. There are various explanations for this, with one theory suggesting that the insulation around the flanges in that area is inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure good insulation to prevent the formation of ignition \"seedlings\" on the pipe walls that could expand over time. 3. Reduce the diameter of this pipe section to increase the gas flow rate and slow down the rate of coking
Create a cyclone-style inlet to remove it using centrifugal force
