The issue of hydrocarbons during liquid nitrogen washing
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone what the impact of hydrocarbons in the gas purified by liquid nitrogen washing is on the liquid nitrogen washing system Are there any data or literature analyses?
No relevant reports have been seen so far, but I’ve heard that some people are conducting research in this area.
There should be no impact; isn’t methane just a hydrocarbon?
Hehe, I meant C2+ hydrocarbons; there was a misunderstanding!
Whether there is an impact depends mainly on the freezing point of the hydrocarbon substances; if they freeze easily, it can cause blockages in the heat exchangers or the trays of the nitrogen washing tower.
