What is the working of vaccum distilation coloumn in a petroleum refinary?..

Answer / anand

actually above 350-375 oC temp. the crude oil is going to
crack and the light product will form. but the main aim of
this distillation process is to seperate the various
fractions rather than producing the light product. so to
avoid this the residue of the atmospheric distillation
tower is processed under vacuum above 350 oC and we get the
various types of product which will be useful for making
various types of lubricating oil, mineral oil, transformer
oil, quenching oil etc.

Answer / sourya

All the fractions that can be separated by the distillation
process under atmospheric conditions is separated in the ADU
and the higher molecular weight fractions that crack under
those conditions to produce carbon(petroleum coke) is
removed as the bottoms and then passed on to the next Vacuum
Distillation unit(VDU) for recovery of all the higher fractions.

Answer / dhanashree

The main aim of distillation is to obtained various
petroleum product at various temp. & press. for that
recovery ,distillation system require rage of temp. As
petrolium products are heighly explosive, catches fire at
low temp.Vaccum distillation is used in petroleum refinery.
Becouse under vaccum the boiling point of liquid get lowers
down & pressure required is also less.

Question 49 - According to rules of thumb in chemical process design, consider the use of an expander for reducing the pressure of a gas when more than 20 horsepowers can be recovered. The theoretical adiabatic horsepower (THp) for expanding a gas could be estimated from the equation : THp = Q [ Ti / (8130a) ] [ 1 - (Po / Pi) ^ a ] where 3 ^ 3 is 3 power 3 or 27, Q is volumetric flowrate in standard cubic feet per minute, Ti is inlet temperature in degree Rankine, a = (k - 1) / k where k = Cp / Cv, Po and Pi are reference and systemic pressures respectively. (a) Assume Cp / Cv = 1.4, Po = 14.7 psia, (temperature in degree Rankine) = [ (temperature in degree Celsius) + 273.15 ] (9 / 5), nitrogen gas at Pi = 90 psia and 25 degree Celsius flowing at Q = 230 standard cubic feet per minute is to be vented to the atmosphere. According to rules of thumb, should an expander or a valve be used? (b) Find the outlet temperature To by using the equation To = Ti (Po / Pi) ^ a.
