Industrial Static Vessels And Towers.

Industrial Static Vessels And Towers.

 




Static vessels and towers are significant pieces of equipment in any type of processing plant. There is no place such as in Ammonia Processes, Basic Processes, Chemical Engineering, Chemical Process Technology, Chemical Industries, Lubricant Manufacturing, Manufacturing Industries, Oil and Gas, and Petrochemicals, where not need Static Vessels And Towers.

In a chemical plant any piece of equipment that contains a Liquid, Gas, or Solid, may be called a "Vessel". A Vessel can be any size or shape. The position of the vessels may be horizontal or vertical. 

There are some examples of Static Vessels and Towers that are commonly used in various petrochemical and chemical plants.

Packed Tower, Bubble Tower, Column, Ion Exchange Tower, Chamber, Tank, Digester, Reactor, Pan, Drum, Heat Exchanger, Stripper, Converter, Cooler, Absorber, Desorber, Deaerator, Dehumidifier, Chiller, Re-boilers, Boilers, Air Cooler, Heater, etc.

Here is a description of some of the Static Vessels And Towers in the above examples.

 

Packed Tower:

Columns and Towers are sometimes filled with an inert material referred to as "Packing". When a tower has been filled with "Packing", It is called a Packed Tower.

 

Bubble Tower:

Columns and towers are sometimes equipped with Bubble Cap Tray or Ballast Trays as "distributors" to bring liquid and vapor into close contact are called Bubble Tower.

 

Extraction Column:

Vertical process vessel in which desert product is separated from a liquid by counter-current contact with a solvent in which the desired product is preferentially soluble.

 

Ion Exchange Tower:

Ion Exchange Tower is an ion-exchange column where dissolved mineral salts in water are removed by exchanging ions with the aid of ion exchange (resin). 

 

Absorber:

The absorber is equipment in which a gas is absorbed by contact with a Liquid. An absorber may contain one or more Packed Towers and Bubble Towers. ​A solid or liquid that absorbs another substance is called an Adsorbent.

 

Desorber:

December is equipment in which the process of removing an absorbed gas as absorbed by a liquid or liquid is performed. A Desorber also may be arranged with one or more Packed Towers and Bubble Towers.

 

Reboiler:

An auxiliary heating unit for a fractionation tower is designed to supply additional heat to the lower portion of a tower. Liquid withdrawn from the side or bottom of the tower is preheated by heat exchange, then introduced into the tower. It also works like a Heat Exchanger.

 

Deaerator:

The Deaerator (DA) tank uses steam to preheat boiler feedwater to a temp. at which dissolved O2 & CO2 will become separated from the feedwater before it is pumped to the boiler. The purpose is to protect the boiler and steam/condensate piping from corrosion that would be present when the water evaporates into steam. An additional benefit is that the number of chemicals used to treat the boiler water can be reduced. 

 

Reactor:

A reactor is a static device or a process vessel, in which a chemical reaction takes place during a chemical conversion type of process. A reactor vessel catalyst or non-catalyst can be of two types, i.e. reaction can occur in the presence and absence of a catalyst.

 

Pressure Vessels Codes:

Governing authorities established or adopts Safety Codes And Standard Rules for boiler and pressure vessels.

Governing Authorities:

Governing authorities are:

 

Inspection Of Vessels:

  • Welding Joints,

  • Corrosion / Erosion,

  • Wall Thickness,

 

Method Of Inspection:

 

Safety Devices For Vessels And Towers:

A "Safety Relief Valve" is a safety device used to release excess pressure in a vessel or pipeline. A "Safety Relief Valve" will open if the pressure becomes greater than the set point. A "Safety Relief Valve" is also called a "pop" valve. Another device used to prevent damage to equipment is a "Rupture Disc". A rupture disc is made to rupture at any Desert pressure. "Rupture Disc" is a safety device installed on equipment to release excess pressure. A two-Rupture Disc is sometimes installed on equipment to protect it.

General Checklist List for Pre-start and Starting up the Centrifugal Pumps.

General Checklist the Essential Steps and precautions for Pre-start and Starting up the Centrifugal Pumps . # What’s the things you Should be attention physically? # General centrifugal pump start up procedure:- Before pump start-up you must perform these tasks:- *01.  Open the suction valve , do priming by venting all the air inside the suction line by opening any vent or even the PG vent till liquid coming out then close , now you confirm no air inside the system to reduce the chances of pump getting cavitation *02.   Open any re-circulation  or cooling lines. *03.   Fully close or partially open the discharge valve, depending on system conditions. *04.   Start the driver. *05.   Slowly open the discharge valve until the pump reaches the desired flow. *06.   Check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pump quickly reaches the correct discharge pressure. *07.   If the pump fail to reach the correct pre...

What is Fire Point, Smoke Point, Freezing Point, Dew Point, Flash Point, Pour Point, Boiling Point, Bubble Point?

# Fire Point :-  The lowest temperature at which the vapor of that fuel will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame. #Smoke Point:-   The temperature at which, under specific and defined conditions, an oil begins to produce a continuous bluish smoke that becomes clearly visible. #Freezing Point:-  The temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid. # Dew Point:-   T he temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor. # Flash Point:-  T he lowest temperature at which enough fluid can  evaporate to form a combustible concentration of gas. #Pour Point:- The lowest temperature at which the oil will pour or flow when it is cooled without stirring. #Boiling Point:-   The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere on the liquid. #Bubble Point:-   The temperature wh...

Industrial Catalyst And Classification.

Principle Of Industrial Catalyst And Classification Of Catalyst.   Principle Of Industrial Catalyst : An industrial catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without undergoing any significant change in its own chemical composition. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction rate. They provide an alternative pathway for the reaction to take place, which requires less energy and allows the reaction to proceed at milder conditions such as lower temperatures and pressures. Industrial catalysts are used in a wide range of chemical processes, including petrochemicals, refining, polymerization, and environmental applications. Classification Of Industrial Catalyst : Industrial catalysts can be classified into four main groups: 01. Homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysts are soluble in the reaction medium and are used mainly in the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. 02. Heteroge...

Difference between LNG, LPG and NGL

✅ LNG — Liquefied Natural Gas, is gas that has been Liquified at very low temp. and is transported as a liquid. It’s Primarily methane ,NG is a mixture of HC which, when liquefied, form a clear colorless,odorless liquid; it’s usually transported and stored at a temp. very close to its boiling point at atmospheric pressure (~ -160), The actual composition of LNG will vary depending on its source and on the liquefaction process, but in all cases the major is methane with small percentages of the heavier HC such as ethane, propane, butane and pentane ,N2 may be present.  ✅ LPG — Liquefied Petroleum Gas gas that is liquid near room temperature and at some extent of pressure. This product has very little methane and butane and is primarily propane (C3),LPG is more dense (has a higher specific gravity) than natural gas ,Their common characteristic is that they can be compressed into liquid at relatively low pressures ,The two most common LPG constitutes are Propane and Butan...
