Excessive chloride ions in light oil
Thread Content
Hello everyone, the chloride levels in our light oil have been exceeding the limits, and we have tried various measures, but there has been no improvement. Recently, it has actually decreased, and the production conditions have remained stable. I can’t find the reason right now. Please help me analyze the reasons. Thank you!
Which unit’s? Test the tar to see if its concentration is already high
Tar levels are high, but tar inventories have remained at high levels recently, and blending has proceeded as normal. It is now unlikely that changes in tar have a significant impact. I’m not quite sure either now. So I’d like to ask everyone for help in analyzing it
The tar system itself does not produce chloride ions; therefore, the first thing to consider is whether the tar content is already high
It is summarized that the chloride ion level in the raw tar storage tank has remained relatively stable with a slight increase from January to now.
Could you tell me about the distribution of chlorine in products?
“That’s not fair! Let’s figure it out together!
Could it be that sludge from sewage treatment has been mixed into the coal blend, with a high content of aluminum polymer!
We source all our tar from outside; I’m not sure. Your mention reminds me of a question I’d like to ask you. Some time ago, I had discussions with the coking plant; their tar contained low levels of metal ions, and these ions were unstable. The reason identified for this was that wastewater from the purification workshop was contaminating the tar. I know nothing about coke ovens at all.
Anyway, tar processing does not produce chloride ions; otherwise why would I ask if there’s a problem with the tar? Let’s talk about the tar issue instead. Hey, buddy, which organization do you work for?
