Operation of stripping sections in atmospheric-vacuum distillation units

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    A study has been made of stripping-section operation with steam injection as a control object under commercial and laboratory conditions.

  2. 2.

    It has been shown that, as the steam injection rate is increased, the vapor number increases, but this increase tapers off rapidly. With steam injection rates above 5–7% (of residue), the vapor number is practically constant.

  3. 3.

    An investigation has been made of the effect of vapor number of changes in distillation curve of a feed-stock when it is fractionated in a stripping section.

  4. 4.

    It has been shown that experimental relationships obtained in a laboratory model unit can be used as a basis for developing process control algorithms for fractionation in commercial stripping sections.
