History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

8 of 72

In Back End this Normal paraffin is dehydrogenated to linear olefins (UOP Pacol unit)The linear olefins are then alkylated with benzene to LAB

UOP Pacol unit(Dehydrogenation)N paraffin (C10- C13) Linear Olefins (C10-C13)

HF acid catalystC10C13 olefins + Benzene Linear alkyl benzene (LAB)

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

b) HYDROBON

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Nickel ndashmolybdenumumoxide on alumina)

The heartcut kerosene from Prefractionation rerun column overhead is fed to this Hydrobon unit to remove sulfur nitrogen below 1 ppm This reaction is called as hydrotreating In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

b) PACOL (Paraffin converted to olefin)

The normal paraffin of carbon range C10 to C13 is converted to linear olefins of carbon range C10 to C13 by Dehydrogenation reaction in UOP Pacol process

The catalyst used in reactor is alumina based platinum catalyst

As it is dehydrogenation reaction H2 gas is separated from reactor effluent in contact condenser and send to Front End for Hydrobon makeup gas compressor

Cracking also takes place in reactor where ltC10 paraffin and olefins are formed which is removed in distillation column called Pacol stripper The gas separated in stripper is burnt in heater as off gases

The reaction temperature is 470 to 495 DegC while pressure is kept low at 13 kgcm2g

The life of pacol catalyst is about 30 to 40 days As life of the catalyst is low there are two pacol reactors for continuous running of the plant

The conversion of paraffin is about 12 to 13

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

8 of 72

In Back End this Normal paraffin is dehydrogenated to linear olefins (UOP Pacol unit)The linear olefins are then alkylated with benzene to LAB

UOP Pacol unit(Dehydrogenation)N paraffin (C10- C13) Linear Olefins (C10-C13)

HF acid catalystC10C13 olefins + Benzene Linear alkyl benzene (LAB)

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

b) HYDROBON

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Nickel ndashmolybdenumumoxide on alumina)

The heartcut kerosene from Prefractionation rerun column overhead is fed to this Hydrobon unit to remove sulfur nitrogen below 1 ppm This reaction is called as hydrotreating In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 328 x 12264 ^(138-1138) = 328 x 10666 =34696degK

Adiabatic Efficiency

It indicates the actual process compressor deviation from the adiabatic compression It is given byŊad = Tad- Ts Td actual ndash Ts

Adiabatic Head It is defined as the work done by the compressor to raise the pressure of the gas It is given by

Had (kN-mkg) = Z avg x R x Ts x k x [PR^(k-1k) ndash 1] MW mix k-14

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

8 of 72

In Back End this Normal paraffin is dehydrogenated to linear olefins (UOP Pacol unit)The linear olefins are then alkylated with benzene to LAB

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

b) HYDROBON

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Nickel ndashmolybdenumumoxide on alumina)

The heartcut kerosene from Prefractionation rerun column overhead is fed to this Hydrobon unit to remove sulfur nitrogen below 1 ppm This reaction is called as hydrotreating In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

As it is dehydrogenation reaction H2 gas is separated from reactor effluent in contact condenser and send to Front End for Hydrobon makeup gas compressor

Cracking also takes place in reactor where ltC10 paraffin and olefins are formed which is removed in distillation column called Pacol stripper The gas separated in stripper is burnt in heater as off gases

The reaction temperature is 470 to 495 DegC while pressure is kept low at 13 kgcm2g

The life of pacol catalyst is about 30 to 40 days As life of the catalyst is low there are two pacol reactors for continuous running of the plant

The conversion of paraffin is about 12 to 13

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

8 of 72

In Back End this Normal paraffin is dehydrogenated to linear olefins (UOP Pacol unit)The linear olefins are then alkylated with benzene to LAB

HF acid catalystC10C13 olefins + Benzene Linear alkyl benzene (LAB)

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

b) HYDROBON

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Nickel ndashmolybdenumumoxide on alumina)

The heartcut kerosene from Prefractionation rerun column overhead is fed to this Hydrobon unit to remove sulfur nitrogen below 1 ppm This reaction is called as hydrotreating In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

To minimize entrainment by the jet of liquid entering the vessel the inlet velocity for a decanter should keep below 1 ms

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Thus from Nelson-Obert generalized Compressibility Charts (Annexure 11)Pr= 605 ampTr =737

Suction Compressibility =103ThusK-value of mixture =Cp mix C v mix = Cp mix (Cp mix ndash R) = 3012491 (3012491 ndash 8314) =138

Average compressibility = Z avg=(Z1 +Z2)2 = (105+103)2 = 104

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

66 of 72

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

It is given as follows

V sp = Z x Ts x R Ps MW

WhereV sp = Specific volume of Gas in msup3hrZ = Compressibility factor at first stage suction condition = 104Ts = Suction temperature at 1st stage = 328degKPs = Suction pressure at 1st stage = 7671 bar a= 7671101325 =757068atm aR = Universal gas constant = 008206msup3-atmk-moldegKMW = Molecular weight of gas at 1st stage =33809 kgk-mol

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 328 x 12264 ^(138-1138) = 328 x 10666 =34696degK

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

8 of 72

In Back End this Normal paraffin is dehydrogenated to linear olefins (UOP Pacol unit)The linear olefins are then alkylated with benzene to LAB

UOP Pacol unit(Dehydrogenation)N paraffin (C10- C13) Linear Olefins (C10-C13)

HF acid catalystC10C13 olefins + Benzene Linear alkyl benzene (LAB)

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

b) HYDROBON

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Nickel ndashmolybdenumumoxide on alumina)

The heartcut kerosene from Prefractionation rerun column overhead is fed to this Hydrobon unit to remove sulfur nitrogen below 1 ppm This reaction is called as hydrotreating In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

UOP Molex unit Feed kerosene N paraffin (C10- C13) (Normal amp (Raw material for LAB) Non-normal paraffin)

8 of 72

In Back End this Normal paraffin is dehydrogenated to linear olefins (UOP Pacol unit)The linear olefins are then alkylated with benzene to LAB

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

b) HYDROBON

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Nickel ndashmolybdenumumoxide on alumina)

The heartcut kerosene from Prefractionation rerun column overhead is fed to this Hydrobon unit to remove sulfur nitrogen below 1 ppm This reaction is called as hydrotreating In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

39 of 72

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

History

During 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos the detergent market was primarily captured by dodecylbenzene (DDB) a product formed by alkylation of Benzene with propylene tetramer It was found that detergent formed by this was giving poor biodegradability of detergent

Propylene tetramer + Benzene Dodecylbenzene (DDB) (Low biodegradability)

Thus LAB introduced in early 60rsquos have substantially replaced this DDB which is having good biodegradability (gt95)

Process Description

Brief Overview

LAB manufacturing process is a technology patented by UOP Inc (Universal oil Product)

The LAB plant is divided into two parts called

a) Front Endb) Back End

In Front End Normal paraffin which is raw material for LAB is extracted from kerosene feed (UOP Molex unit)

Detail Description of Process

1) Front EndAs described earlier Normal paraffin (C10 to C13) is extracted from kerosene feed by UOP molex process The kerosene feed stock contains various carbon-chained compounds ranging from C7 to C17 This kerosene is processed in front end in series of processes they are

a) Prefractionation b) Hydrobon c) Molex

a) PREFRACTIONATION

The kerosene is fed to Prefractionation unit where heart cut kerosene of carbon chain C 10 to C14

is separated in two distillation columns in series

1) Stripper column

In this distillation column lighter compounds less than C10 are separated from top as

distillate The bottoms from the column is fed to second distillation column called

Rerun column

2) Rerun columnIn this column Heart cut kerosene of C10 to C14 is separated from top as distillate

The reaction temperature is maintained at 310DegC while pressure is maintained at 65kgcm2g

The reactor temperature is maintained by charge heater where heat input is given by firing fuel

oil A recycle gas compressor and makeup gas compressor maintains the reactor pressure to 65

kgcm2g The H2 required for reaction is compressed in makeup gas compressor upto reactor

pressure

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

c) MOLEX Molex process is effective method of separating normal paraffin from stream of hydrocarbon having normal and non-normal by physical selective adsorption process

The process uses solid adsorbent (Molecular sieve) where normal paraffin of straight chains are adsorbed in selective pores and non normal of branched chain are adsorbed in non selective pores

The adsorbed normal paraffin are then desorbed by normal pentane while non normal are desorbed by iso-octane

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

39 of 72

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

At reaction temperature cracking also takes place where some lighter (ltC10) are formed To

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

separate this the reactor effluent is passed to distillation column called Product Stripper The off

gases separated in stripper are burnt in heater as fuel

The H2S and NH3 formed in reaction form the ammonium sulfide salts The water is injected in

reactor effluent to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The

desolved salts in water are further treated in sour water stripper to separate H2S and NH3 which

are burnt in heater as off gas

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

Velocity of benzene phase = 4543812 X 1 X 1 873811 3600093581

So from equation ( ) So the entrained droplet size will be =00015435 X 18 X 0000604 frac12 981 X (99704-873812)

=00001178 m=1178 microm

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

Piping arrangement

To minimize entrainment by the jet of liquid entering the vessel the inlet velocity for a decanter should keep below 1 ms

The velocity from static mixer= 066 ms

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Average compressibility = Z avg=(Z1 +Z2)2 = (105+103)2 = 104

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

66 of 72

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Capacity of the compressor

Inlet capacity of the compressor = Q (msup3hr) =Vd x ŋ ad =3627755 x 0917715 =3329244msup3hr

Specific Volume

It is the inverse of gas density ie it is the volume of the gas per kilogram at specified conditions

It is given as follows

V sp = Z x Ts x R Ps MW

WhereV sp = Specific volume of Gas in msup3hrZ = Compressibility factor at first stage suction condition = 104Ts = Suction temperature at 1st stage = 328degKPs = Suction pressure at 1st stage = 7671 bar a= 7671101325 =757068atm aR = Universal gas constant = 008206msup3-atmk-moldegKMW = Molecular weight of gas at 1st stage =33809 kgk-mol

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 328 x 12264 ^(138-1138) = 328 x 10666 =34696degK

Adiabatic Efficiency

It indicates the actual process compressor deviation from the adiabatic compression It is given byŊad = Tad- Ts Td actual ndash Ts

Adiabatic Head It is defined as the work done by the compressor to raise the pressure of the gas It is given by

Had (kN-mkg) = Z avg x R x Ts x k x [PR^(k-1k) ndash 1] MW mix k-14

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

Cooling water systemFor cooling the final products Byproducts to normal ambient temperatures the products byproducts are cooled in coolers The cooling media used is water There are three cooling towers installed in LAB planta) HF cooling tower it is separate cooling tower to avoid HF ingrace in coolers in non-HF

areab) Front End Cooling towerc) Back End cooling tower

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

66 of 72

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Adiabatic Head It is defined as the work done by the compressor to raise the pressure of the gas It is given by

Had (kN-mkg) = Z avg x R x Ts x k x [PR^(k-1k) ndash 1] MW mix k-14

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

The catalyst used in reactor is alumina based platinum catalyst

Platinum catalyst

CH3-C-C-C-CH3 CH3 - C = C ndash C ndash CH3 + H2

N paraffin Linear Mono olefins

There are some side reactions takes places in Pacol they are

CH3 - C = C ndash C ndash CH3 CH3 - C = C = C ndash CH3 + H2

Linear Mono olefins Linear Di olefins

CH3 - C = C = C ndash CH3 Aromatics + H2

Linear Di olefins

As it is dehydrogenation reaction H2 gas is separated from reactor effluent in contact condenser and send to Front End for Hydrobon makeup gas compressor

Cracking also takes place in reactor where ltC10 paraffin and olefins are formed which is removed in distillation column called Pacol stripper The gas separated in stripper is burnt in heater as off gases

The reaction temperature is 470 to 495 DegC while pressure is kept low at 13 kgcm2g

The life of pacol catalyst is about 30 to 40 days As life of the catalyst is low there are two pacol reactors for continuous running of the plant

The conversion of paraffin is about 12 to 13

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

66 of 72

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

3) The LAB is exported to Europe American African and Asian countries4) The light and Heavy normal paraffin is used to manufacture Chlorinated Paraffin Wax5) Heavy alkyl Benzene is used as lubricants in oil industry

Utility system in LAB plant

Hot oil system

There are two Hot oil Heaters available in LAB plant one for Front End and other is for Back End The Heaters are fired with furnace oil LSHS and off gases from process

The Hot oil (Dow Therm) which is thermic fluid is heated in these Hot oil heaters

The all heat inputs to the column preheater are given by circulating Hot oil at supply temperature of 330 DegC

Effluent System

The effluent generated in LAB plant mainly constitute

a) Fluoride Maximum limit lt 10 ppmb) Oil Maximum limit lt 10 ppm

For reduction of fluoride in effluent water LAB plant have two neutralisation basins where effluent from HF area is collected and then reacted with Lime (CaCO3) to reduce fluoride content below 10ppm

For reduction of oil in effluent water LAB plant have CPI separator installed to separate oil from effluent water The oil separated is send to Slope oil storage

In addition to this there is hydrocarbon pit installed in front end to collect pump and filter drains which is being blended in return kerosene to reduce oil load in effluent systemThere all oil collection pits installed in storm water channels to avoid oil going into the river via gates

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

23 of 72

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

39 of 72

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT ndashI

The project is about developing a ldquoBENZENE-WATER WASHrdquo system to remove the impurities coming with fresh benzene that enters into benzene stripper and effects thefin-fan cooler The project is about developing such a scheme which will remove these impurities before entering the benzene stripper to eliminate the failure of fin-fan cooler

The scheme should also be such that it should not reduce the efficiency of the equipment and should be cost-effective

What is Benzene stripper

The high volatility of water dissolved in hydrocarbons is used in this column to obtain water-free benzene in the column bottoms which also removes any dissolved oxygen or non-condensibles in the benzene or off spec feeds Makeup benzene is fed to the overhead receiver on level control reset by the overhead receiver level controller It is refluxed via the overhead pump on flow control reset by the column bottom level controller and sent to the reaction section by the bottoms pump via the benzene stripper feedbottoms exchanger on flow control which is reset by the benzene column receiver level controller The benzene stripper receiver floats on the flare and is sized big enough to allow enough settling time for the water There is a small nitrogen flow via a conservation vent into the receiver vapor flare to maintain a slight nitrogen purge Water is collected in the boot and drained periodically whenever there is a boot high alarm Maintain a visible benzene water interface in the boot sight glass The benzene at the column bottom normally has a water content of less than 20ppm actually much lower if the column is operated well A moisture analyzer alarm high is provided The heat input to the column is provided by a hot oil reboiler with the hot oil flow controlled Off-spec material from the off-spec tank is normally rerun via the benzene stripper coming into the column receiver

What is the Issue

The benzene stripper column overheads are condensed in air-cooler (fin-fan coolers EC-301)The advantage of using this fin-fan cooler is the low operating cost no space constraint as are not on ground level etc This tube-bundle was failing at a frequency of once in a span of two years Failure analysis study was carried out and found that there are some impurities coming along with fresh benzene which are forming acidic solution after condensing in fin-fan This acidic solution formed was causing the repeated failure of tube-bundle

Water dosing was started upstream of the fin-fan bundle to dissolve out the impurities or to neutralize the acidic solution so that tubes can be saved This practice was started in 2008 Even after this modification the failures and continue and its difficult to analyze that what type of impurities are coming with benzene

22 of 72

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

=00001178 m=1178 microm

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

So to eliminate this problem a scheme has been plotted to design a benzene scrubbing system This will be basically washing of benzene with DM water to remove the impurities before it enters the benzene stripper

The schematic diagram of this system is shown below

The scheme consists of a static mixture for mixing benzene and water for a particular residence time and at a particular velocity as required A gravity settler is for separating benzene and water on the basis of density difference

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

STATIC MIXER

This mixing device has no moving parts is simple and its cost can be quite reasonable when compared to mechanical driven mixers Static or motionless mixers are relatively new development and have proven to be effective for many specific and valuable process application It is useful for a wide range of viscosity fluids particularly useful in liquid-liquid mixing and also for some gas-liquid dispersion

The concept of motionless mixers is to achieve a uniform composition and temperature distribution in fluids flowing through the device The concept is build around a stationary rigid element placed in a pipe or cylinder that uses the energy of fluid flowing past to produce the mixing The unit becomes more efficient by adding additional static elements causing the flowing fluid elements to split rearrange recombine and split again to repeat the process lsquoxrsquo times for a uniform or homogeneous flowing stream is produced at discharge

Principle of operation

The static mixer unit is a series of fixed helical elements enclosed within a tubular housing

LIQUID ndash LIQUID SEPARATION(Decanters)

Separation of two liquid phases immiscible or partially miscible liquids is a common requirement in the process industries It is also frequently necessary to separate small quantities of entrained water from process streams The simplest form of equipment used to separate liquid phases is the gravity settling tank the decanter Various proprietary equipment is also used to promote coalescence and improve separation in difficult systems or where emulsions are likely to form Centrifugal separators are also used

Decanters (settlers)

Decanters are used to separate liquids where there is a sufficient difference in density between the liquids for the droplets to settle readily Decanters are essentially tanks which give sufficient residence time for the droplets of the dispersed phase to rise (or settle ) to the interface between the phases and coalesce

In an operating decanter there will be three distinct zones or bands clear heavy liquid separating dispersed liquid (the dispersion zone) and clear light liquid The position of the interface can be controlled with or without the use of instruments by use of a siphon take-off for the heavy liquid

24 of 72

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

Velocity of benzene phase = 4543812 X 1 X 1 873811 3600093581

=0001543511 ms =1543511mms

So from equation ( ) So the entrained droplet size will be =00015435 X 18 X 0000604 frac12 981 X (99704-873812)

=00001178 m=1178 microm

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

To minimize entrainment by the jet of liquid entering the vessel the inlet velocity for a decanter should keep below 1 ms

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Vertical decanter

The height of the take-off can be determined by making a pressure balance Neglecting friction loss in the pipes the pressure exerted by the combined height of the heavy and light liquid in the vessel must be balanced by the height of the heavy liquid in the take-off leg

(z1-z3)Ρ1g + z3 Ρ2g= z2 Ρ2g

z2 = (z1-z3) Ρ1 + z3 (1)Ρ2

WhereZ1= height from datum to light liquid overflow m Z2=height from datum to heavy liquid overflow m Z3=height from datum to interface m Ρ1=density of the light liquid kgmsup3 Ρ2=density of the heavy liquid kg msup3

The height of the liquid interface should be measured accurately when the liquid densities are close when one component is present only in small quantities or when the throughput is very small A typical scheme for the automatic control of the interface using a level instrument that can detect the position of the interface is shown in the diagram below Where one phase is present only in small amounts it is often recycled to the decanter feed to give more stable operation

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

WhereHad = Adiabatic Head =1596kN-mkgm = Total Inlet Feed to the compressor in kghr=5864 kghrŊ ad = Adiabatic efficiency=0764

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Nowif the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 100 ie Td-actual =Tad then

Adiabatic power required = 5864 x 1596(1 x 3600)=2599 kw

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Pressure ratio

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Capacity of the compressor

It is given as follows

V sp = Z x Ts x R Ps MW

WhereV sp = Specific volume of Gas in msup3hrZ = Compressibility factor at first stage suction condition = 104Ts = Suction temperature at 1st stage = 328degKPs = Suction pressure at 1st stage = 7671 bar a= 7671101325 =757068atm aR = Universal gas constant = 008206msup3-atmk-moldegKMW = Molecular weight of gas at 1st stage =33809 kgk-mol

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 328 x 12264 ^(138-1138) = 328 x 10666 =34696degK

Adiabatic Efficiency

It indicates the actual process compressor deviation from the adiabatic compression It is given byŊad = Tad- Ts Td actual ndash Ts

Adiabatic Head It is defined as the work done by the compressor to raise the pressure of the gas It is given by

Had (kN-mkg) = Z avg x R x Ts x k x [PR^(k-1k) ndash 1] MW mix k-14

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

To minimize entrainment by the jet of liquid entering the vessel the inlet velocity for a decanter should keep below 1 ms

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 331 x 1233^(1368-11368) = 331 x 10666 =350185degK

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

66 of 72

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

microd = -169787 Х 10ˉsup3 ms = -17 mms (rising)

As the flow rate is small we will use a vertical cylindrical vessel

The decanter vessel is sized on the basis that the velocity of the continuous phase must be less than settling velocity of the droplets of the dispersed phase Plug flow is assumed and the velocity of the continuous phase calculated using the area of the interfacemicroc =Lclt microdAiWhere microd = settling velocity of the dispersed phase droplets msmicroc = velocity of the continuous phase msLc = continuous phase volumetric flow rate msup3sAi = area of the interface msup2

For a vertical cylindrical decanterAi = prodrsup2

r = 0935817588 prodr = 0545835318 m

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

which is satisfactory below 150 microm

To minimize entrainment by the jet of liquid entering the vessel the inlet velocity for a decanter should keep below 1 ms

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

39 of 72

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Diameter= 1091670637 m

Taking the height as twice the diameter a reasonable value for a cylinder

Height = 2183341274 m

The position of the interface should be such that the band of droplets that collect at the interface waiting to coalesce and cross the interface does not extend to the bottom (or top) of the vessel The depth of the dispersion band is a function of the liquid flow rate and the interfacial area A value of to per cent of the decanter height is usually taken for the design purposes

Take the dispersion band as 10 per cent of the height = 021833mThe residence time of the droplets in the dispersion band = 021833 = 021833microd 00017 =1285926 s (approx 2 min)

This is satisfactory time a time of 2 to 5 min is normally recommended Thus the size of the water (continuous heavy phase) droplets that could be entrained with benzene (light phase) will be

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 331 x 1233^(1368-11368) = 331 x 10666 =350185degK

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Specific Volume

It is the inverse of gas density ie it is the volume of the gas per kilogram at specified conditions

It is given as follows

Vsp = Z x Ts x R Ps MW

WhereVsp = Specific volume of Gas in msup3hrZ = Compressibility factor at first stage suction condition = 1

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 331 x 1233^(1368-11368) = 331 x 10666 =350185degK

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Pad (kW) = m x HadŊ ad x 3600

WhereHad = Adiabatic Head =1596kN-mkgm = Total Inlet Feed to the compressor in kghr=5864 kghrŊ ad = Adiabatic efficiency=0764

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Nowif the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 100 ie Td-actual =Tad then

Adiabatic power required = 5864 x 1596(1 x 3600)=2599 kw

Power saved= 338797 -2599=78897 kw If the cost of the power is rs 6kw hourSavings per day= 6 x24 x78897=rs 11361168day If we consider that the plant operates for around 8040 hoursdaySavings per year =6 x 8040 x 78897=rs 380599128=rs 3805 lakhs year

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Specific Volume

It is the inverse of gas density ie it is the volume of the gas per kilogram at specified conditions

It is given as follows

Vsp = Z x Ts x R Ps MW

WhereVsp = Specific volume of Gas in msup3hrZ = Compressibility factor at first stage suction condition = 1

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 331 x 1233^(1368-11368) = 331 x 10666 =350185degK

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Pad (kW) = m x HadŊ ad x 3600

WhereHad = Adiabatic Head =1596kN-mkgm = Total Inlet Feed to the compressor in kghr=5864 kghrŊ ad = Adiabatic efficiency=0764

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Nowif the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 100 ie Td-actual =Tad then

Adiabatic power required = 5864 x 1596(1 x 3600)=2599 kw

Power saved= 338797 -2599=78897 kw If the cost of the power is rs 6kw hourSavings per day= 6 x24 x78897=rs 11361168day If we consider that the plant operates for around 8040 hoursdaySavings per year =6 x 8040 x 78897=rs 380599128=rs 3805 lakhs year

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

40 of 72

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

PROJECT II

CALULATING THE DEW POINT

This project is about the study and evaluation of the performance of the compressors in the Hydrobon section of the LAB plant which is installed to optimize the purity of hydrogen coming from the product separators The compressors in this section include recycle gas compressor and make-up gas compressorThe purity of hydrogen can be increased upto 90

This project will give the company an overall view of this loop The plant is running well about its installed capacity(131-140) The company wants to retain the purity level of nearly 90 for hydrogen even after operating above installed capacity Hence the current project will give the company an idea of the current hydrogen quality(purity) which is obtained and give an idea about changes if any to be made to existing process set-up

HYDROBON REACTOR

Hydrobon reactor is designed to remove contaminants present in the raw kerosene without changing the boiling range The hydrocarbon is passed through a 2 bed reactor feed with S 12 catalyst through a feed effluent exchanger and charge heater which maintain the required reaction temperature(310 c) The reaction required hydrogen gas which is supplied from pacol net gas generated from back end and tattoray hydrogen from PX plantThe reaction charge is heated to the reaction temperature in the charge heater enters the reactor from the top and is distributed over the catalyst bed Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in the reactor The impurities react with hydrogen and form salts which are subsequently separated and finally removed in sour water stripper The reactor effluents after separation is fed to the product stripper to remove lighters and hydrotreated kerosene is fed to molex unit The sulfur and nitrogen levels are reduced to 1 ppm or less

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Brief Overview

The Linear Alkyl Benzene produced from Kerosene is a useful detergent intermediates and can be readily sulfonated to give linear alkyl benzene sulfonates

The kerosene from petroleum refinery contains various amounts of naturally occurring contaminants the most important ones being organic sulfur nitrogen and metal compounds The purpose of UOP Hydrobon process is to remove sulfur and nitrogen from feed which would poison the sieve in UOP Molex process unit thus reducing the adsorbent life The catalyst used in Hydrobon reactor is S12 (Cobalt-Molybdenum Oxide on alumina)

The UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 331 x 1233^(1368-11368) = 331 x 10666 =350185degK

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Pad (kW) = m x HadŊ ad x 3600

WhereHad = Adiabatic Head =1596kN-mkgm = Total Inlet Feed to the compressor in kghr=5864 kghrŊ ad = Adiabatic efficiency=0764

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Nowif the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 100 ie Td-actual =Tad then

Adiabatic power required = 5864 x 1596(1 x 3600)=2599 kw

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

HD Hydrobon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

The following reactions represent in general what is taking place inside the reactor

1) Sulfur Removal

2) Nitrogen Removal

3) Metals Removal

While mechanism of organo-metallic compound removal is not well understood it is known that metals are retained on the catalyst The limiting amount of metals the catalyst can remove is related to the amount of catalyst in the plant Once the limit is exceeded metals can be found in reactor product stream

4) Oxygen Removal

5) Olefin Saturation

6) Halides Removal

7) Other Reactions

Near the end of the run to compensate for the lower catalyst activity the reactor temperatures will be relatively high With the higher temperature there will be increased tendency to hydrocrack the feed which will be evident from more H2 consumption and more net stripper overhead liquid production

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

FLOW DIAGRAM OF HYDROBON SECTION

42 of 72

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Adiabatic Discharge Temperature

When the compression takes place by adiabatic process the discharge temperature can be predicted by

Tad = Ts x (PR)^(k-1k) = 331 x 1233^(1368-11368) = 331 x 10666 =350185degK

Adiabatic PowerIt is the power required by the compressor to raise the pressure of gas It is brake power in mechanical terms

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Nowif the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 100 ie Td-actual =Tad then

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Process DescriptionThe UOP Hydrobon process is a catalytic hydrogenation method for upgrading the feed quality by removing sulfur and nitrogen without greatly changing its boiling range In addition to this metal compounds and Aromatics are also reduced in Hydrobon reactor This upgrading often-called Hydrotreating is done by passing the feedstock over a fixed bed of UOP Hydrobon catalyst

HD Unibon Process unit in LAB Front End consist of a high-pressure reactor section and a lower pressure product stripper section

(A)Reactor SectionHeart Cut Kerosene from Prefractionation Section is sent to Hydrobon feed surge drum (FA601) This stream consists of C10-C14 range of hydrocarbons which include normal paraffins non-normal paraffins and various contaminants like organic sulfur nitrogen etc The reactor charge pumps (GA601 ABC) pumps Kerosene to combine feed exchanger (EA602) The charge pumps used in Hydrobon are Sundyne pumps capable of pumping feed to high pressure of around 95-100kgcm2g

New reactor charge pump is being installed in the unit as a part of energy conservation drive However this PHA study excludes this pump operation

Before entering the combined feed exchanger Kerosene is mixed with recycle Hydrogen from Recycle Gas Compressor (GB601) A single stage double acting reciprocating compressor (GB601) is used to raise the pressure of gas The recycle gas also acts a medium for quenching the heat of reaction from the reactor in case of loss of liquid charge to the reactor

The reactor charge and recycle hydrogen gas are preheated by the reactor effluent in combine feed exchanger which is a series of shell and tube heat exchangers In CFE combined feed is preheated to 294degC and then enters the reactor charge heater (BA601) The reactor charge is heated to reaction temperature in Charge Heater The heater is convection radiation type natural draft heater The temperature is raised upto 302-305degC in this heater The heated feed enters at the top of Hydrobon Reactor (DC601) and is evenly distributed over the top of catalyst bed by vapor liquid distributor The reactor is divided into two catalyst beds separated by catalyst support grids and redistributors

Due to the exothermic nature of reactions taking place in the reactor (due to aromatic saturation and partly due to thermal hydrocracking of long molecules) the temperature of outlet stream leaving is higher than the reactor inlet stream temperature The heat of reaction as well as a large portion of the heat contained in the reactor feed is recovered in combine feed exchangers (EA602) Final cooling of the reactor effluent is obtained by passing it through air-cooled fin-fan exchanger (EC601) DM water is injected into the reactor effluent before it enters EC601 in order to prevent the deposition of salts that can corrode and foul the coolers The sulfur and

43 of 72

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

44 of 72

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

nitrogen contained in the feed is converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in the reactor these two reaction products combine to form ammonium salts that can solidify and precipitate as the reactor effluent is cooled Hence DM water is added to reactor effluent to dissolve these salts before they precipitate

To maintain the reaction loop pressure and to makeup for the hydrogen consumed in the reaction make up Hydrogen is added to reactor loop before it enters the cooler EC601 This make up gas is supplied by four stage double acting reciprocating make up compressor (GB602) The addition of this Hydrogen before cooler also serves the purpose of removal of after-cooler in the 4 th stage of compressor (GB602) The make up hydrogen is obtained from LAB PACOL process at 23kgcm2g which enters the 1st stage of make up gas compressor The balance hydrogen is obtained from Tatoray Unit from PG-PX at 135kgcm2g and LPFD gas that enter the 3rd stage suction of compressor

The reactor effluent is cooled to about 60degC using air-cooled fin-fan heat exchangers (EC601) Cooled effluent enters the high-pressure separator (FA602) where the hydrocarbon water and gas phases disengage and are removed individually A circumferential mesh blanket is placed in the separator to help separate water from hydrocarbon The water collected in a boot attached to separator is removed on level control and sent to a sour water-degassing drum (FA606) This water contains high concentration of toxic gases H2S and NH3

The hydrogen rich gas leaving the top of separator is sent to recycle gas compressor section through recycle compressor suction drum The H2S content in the recycle gas is controlled by a slip streamvent provided above the Product Separator (connected to FA605 Off Gas line) This venting is to be done when the H2S in recycle gas crosses 10 by volume

(B) Fractionation SectionThe hydrocarbon liquid collected in separator FA602 is sent to the low-pressure flash drum (FA603) where additional hydrogen and other dissolved gases are removed from top A part of this gas is burnt in the heater and the remaining part is used as makeup gas

LPFD bottom is sent to the product stripper (DA601) on level control The product stripper strips out the water light ends and H2S in the separator liquid The overhead vapors are condensed in an air-cooled fin fan condenser (EC602) enters the overhead receiver (FA605) The water collected in the receiver boot is sent to the sour water stripper unit Condensed hydrocarbon is refluxed back to the column and a net overhead liquid draw is removed for further processing in light end stripper column (DA603) The non-condensable gases leave the overhead receiver on pressure control and are normally routed to fuel gas system through FA 802 The contaminant free material from column bottom is first exchanged with PACOL Stripper feed and then with product stripper feed and sent to Molex unit on level control A slipstream is bypassed around the stripper feedbottom exchanger on TRC control to ensure a constant feed temperature to

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

Reciprocating compressor

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Molex Unit Molex feed temperature is to be constantly monitored to prevent ingress of unsaturates into Molex Unit

The Light End Stripper bottom liquid is routed to either return Kerosene or to PX as a fuel Purpose of Light End Stripper is to stabilize the lights stream of dissolved gases Light End Stripper bottom temperature is a significant parameter It is to be maintained above 160degC to prevent H2S carryover to storage tank

(C)Sour Water Stripping Section The water collected in Product Separator (FA602) and other sections contains large concentration of toxic gases like H2S and NH3 Hence the water from boot is diverted to sour water degassing drum (FA606) which removes dissolved gases at lower pressure of 10kscg Bottom liquid is fed to sour water stripping column (DA602) The H2S and NH3 stripped water from sour water stripping column is then drained to sewer system The off gases which contain H2S and NH3 are burnt in heater as off gas Sour Water Stripper bottoms are analyzed for pH and H2S once in a week

A reciprocating compressor or a piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that consists of a piston driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters a suction manifold then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and the gas is then discharged

The reciprocating air compressor is said to be double acting when the compression is accomplished using only both sides of the piston

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

DEMISTER PAD

A demister is a device often fitted to vapor liquid separator vessels to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in a vapor stream Demisters may be a mesh type or vane pack or other structure intended to aggregate the mist into droplets that are heavy enough to separate from the vapor stream

Demisters can reduce the residence time required to separate a given liquid droplet size thereby reducing the volume and associated cost of separator equipment

Demisters are often used where vapor quality is important in regard to entrained liquids particularly where separator equipment costs are high or where space or weight savings are advantageous

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

DEW POINT

When a liquid mixture is heated from a sub-cooled state at constant pressurethe vaporization occurs over a range of temperatures unlike vaporization of a pure substance which occurs at a constant temperature at a given pressure For any mixtures the two limiting temperatures of the above range are known as bubble point and dew point

Figure shows T vs x y of n-pentane for the n-pentanen-hexane system at 101325kPa(760 torr) considering the mixture to be an ideal one

As the heating process continues beyond M the temperature rises the amount of vapour increases and the amount of liquid decreases During this process the vapor and liquid phase composition change along the paths MrsquoN and MNrsquo respectively Finally as the point N is approached the liquid phase is reduced to minute drops( called dew) and at point N the liquid phase is completely vaporized to a saturated vapour phase Hence the point N is called the dew point

For an ideal mixture the dew point can be calculated using the Raoultrsquos law For a given pressure and composition the dew point and the composition at respective points are calculated by the iterative calculations as shown below

Dew point

i For a vapor mixture of known composition assume a temperature and find the vapor pressure of all the components pis at this temperature

ii Calculate xi=yippisiii Σ xi should be 1 If xi ne 1 then a new temperature should be assumed and the above

calculations be repeatediv The temperature for which xi=1 is the dew point and the liquid composition at dew point

is given by xiv Initial guess value of temperature can be taken as Ti= Σ Xi Tis

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 +(22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60= 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Pad(kW) = 5864 x 1596(764 x 3600)=338797 kwAdiabatic efficiency can be enhanced by maintaining Td-actual as close to Tad as possible

Nowif the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 100 ie Td-actual =Tad then

Adiabatic power required = 5864 x 1596(1 x 3600)=2599 kw

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Pr= 4936 ampTr =69252Suction Compressibility =105

At discharge conditions

Pr = P dischargePc = 605Tr = T discharge Tc= 737

Thus from Nelson-Obert generalized Compressibility Charts (Annexure 11)Pr= 605 ampTr =737Suction Compressibility =103ThusK-value of mixture =Cp mix C v mix = Cp mix (Cp mix ndash R) = 3012491 (3012491 ndash 8314) =138

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Thus from Nelson-Obert generalized Compressibility Charts (Annexure 11)Pr= 4936 ampTr =69252Suction Compressibility =105

At discharge conditions

Pr = P dischargePc = 605Tr = T discharge Tc= 737

Thus from Nelson-Obert generalized Compressibility Charts (Annexure 11)Pr= 605 ampTr =737Suction Compressibility =103ThusK-value of mixture =Cp mix C v mix = Cp mix (Cp mix ndash R) = 3012491 (3012491 ndash 8314) =138

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Pressure ratio

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

At discharge conditions

Average compressibility = Z avg=(Z1 +Z2)2 = (105+103)2 = 104

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Piston Displacement

Piston displacement is defined as the net volume actually displaced by the piston at rated machine speed as the piston travels its length from top dead center to bottom dead center

66 of 72

Piston displacement = Vd(msup3hr) = (prod4) x (Dsup2+(Dsup2- dsup2))x S x N x 60

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Specific Volume

It is the inverse of gas density ie it is the volume of the gas per kilogram at specified conditions

It is given as follows

V sp = Z x Ts x R Ps MW

WhereV sp = Specific volume of Gas in msup3hrZ = Compressibility factor at first stage suction condition = 104Ts = Suction temperature at 1st stage = 328degKPs = Suction pressure at 1st stage = 7671 bar a= 7671101325 =757068atm aR = Universal gas constant = 008206msup3-atmk-moldegKMW = Molecular weight of gas at 1st stage =33809 kgk-mol

Suction Compressibility =103ThusK-value of mixture =Cp mix C v mix = Cp mix (Cp mix ndash R) = 3012491 (3012491 ndash 8314) =138

Average compressibility = Z avg=(Z1 +Z2)2 = (105+103)2 = 104

Pressure ratio

PR = Pressure ratio = P dischargeP suction = 940876711 =12264

Volumetric Efficiency It is defined as the actual gas delivered to the piston displacement of the compressor

When the discharge pressure is high the quantity that is left back in space between piston and the cylinder end walls is also high

Thus volumetric efficiency of the compressor can be theoretically estimated as

Ŋ ad = 097 ndash C x [ PR ^(1k) -1] ndashL

WhereC= Clearance in for 1st stage = 14 (from design data)PR= Pressure Ratio = 12264k= Ratio of specific heats = 138L= Leakage losses normally 003 to 005 for Lubricated compressor and 0075 to 01 for non-lubricated compressor

Since GB-601 is LUBRICATED COMPRESSOR we will take L=003

Thus

Volumetric efficiency =097 ndash 014 [12264 ^(1138)-1] ndash 003 =097 ndash 014[11591 -1]-003 =097- 0022285 -003 =0917715 =91771

Whered= diameter of the rod =65mm=0065mS= Cylindrical Stroke = 200mm=2m D= Cylindrical Bore Diameter=220mm =22mN= Speed of Compressor =416 rpm

Therefore

Piston displacement = (314 4) x (22sup2 + (22sup2 - 0065sup2))x 2 x 416 x 60 = 0785 x (00484 + 0044175) x 4992 = 3627755msup3hr

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing

Recommendations

1 As per the standard calculations a vertical vessel can be used as a decantor but it will be more efficient to use horizontal vessel as it will give more residence time for settling

2 Static mixer metallurgy should be selected as per benzene and taking in care the acidic solution formation after extraction of impurities from benzene

3 All instruments like pH meter Control valves should be reliable Their importance in this scheme should ne taken care of while purchasing
