How to calculate the oil level in the device’s memory
Thread Content
Recently, I wanted to roughly estimate the time required to replace the oil in the system, and I needed to calculate the amount of oil stored to get an approximate figure. There is one crude oil horizontal tank and 2 reactors, one for high fractions and one for low fractions. I’m curious to hear anyone’s experience with this. I hope you will kindly offer your guidance!
Same question: is there an answer yet? The original data is not well preserved, and the entire device was not shut down; so how can we determine the amount of oil in the device’s memory while it is in operation?:)
The rough calculation is actually quite simple: determine the amount of oil stored in the pipeline based on its diameter, measure the diameters of containers such as heat exchangers and towers using a ruler, select an appropriate liquid level height based on operational experience, and then calculate the amount of oil stored in those containers. All the data are added together to obtain a rough figure. Compare this with the actual time when the oil is replaced, in order to test the accuracy of the data.
