Summary
-
1.
A study has been made of stripping-section operation with steam injection as a control object under commercial and laboratory conditions.
-
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.
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.
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.
