Repurposing plan for atmospheric and vacuum distillation equipment
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: how can a vacuum distillation unit with a capacity of 1 million tons per year be expanded to 2.5 million tons per year? Can the existing atmospheric distillation tower be reused as a new flash tower? Can a conventional atmospheric pressure furnace be repurposed as a reduced pressure furnace? Let’s discuss it! The process calculations are fully satisfied; what about the equipment?
An atmospheric pressure tower will do, or a furnace will work as well; the tower needs to be modified
The capacity of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit, which is currently 1 million tons per year, can be increased to 2.5 million tons per year; this depends on the processing capacity available, and it’s possible to make use of existing facilities
