Description:
According to the characteristics of quench oil and coke powder, an experimental setup is designed with a hydrocyclone for a pilot test. The relationships between structure size, flow rate, pressure drop, and separation efficiency are evaluated. The separation is successful in stable, long-period operations without complications. The stability of the separation significantly helps decrease covert damage to equipment such as fractionating towers, pumps, and heat-exchange facilities. An appropriate method for removing coke powder from quench oil by a specifically designed hydrocyclone is presented. The pilot test proves its efficiency, safety, stability, and economics. Excellent separation efficiency is achieved under optimized operating conditions. The separation is successful in stable, long-period operations without complications.
