Suggestions for gas system stability (newcomer in the chemical industry). . ）

Thread Content

After joining the company, I was assigned a task. Initially, dry gas was being used as the fuel gas in the gas pipeline network, and there was a problem of insufficient pressure in this network. The reasons for this were as follows: 1. The pressure of the dry gas produced by the coking and catalytic cracking units was unstable; 2. At the end-user devices, high temperatures were applied during quality inspection, which led to insufficient supply of gas. When this occurred, natural gas would be introduced into the system. The instability in the composition of the fuel gas resulted in uncontrolled heating of the devices. I proposed several solutions: 1. Modify the liquefied gas storage tanks to increase their pressure capacity. Problem: The storage tanks can hold around 1,000 KG of gas, while the entire gas pipeline network requires around 20,000 KG of dry gas. Any fluctuation in the amount of dry gas generated would have an impact far beyond 1,000 KG, so this solution isn’t very effective. I wonder if anyone here has any good suggestions I could consider? ~{:1_90:}
