Questions and Answers

What are the two primary objectives of the C-360A/B compressor system?

The Booster Cylinder compresses overhead vapors from T-350 and T-380 to feed T-370. The Recycle Cylinder compresses overhead vapors from D-370 to feed D-110.

Describe the flow path of the vapor entering C-360A/B Booster Cylinder, prior to compression.

The overhead vapor from D-360 first enters D-363A/B-1 (C-360A/B Booster Suction Bottles #1) and then D-363A/B-2 (C-360A/B Booster Suction Bottles #2) before entering C-360A/B Booster Cylinder.

What is the purpose of routing some of the vapor from D-361 back to D-360?

The text does not explicitly state the reason, but it likely helps to control the vapor pressure in D-360 and to maintain the composition of the overhead vapor being sent to C-360A/B.

Explain why feed stream to E-370 is maximized.

<p>The E-370 feed stream is maximized to minimize the butene content to D-110, which subsequently minimizes the butene to R-201-205.</p> Signup and view all the answers

After exiting the C-360A/B Recycle Cylinder, where does the vapor stream go, and what happens to it?

<p>The vapor stream is routed to D-110 and E-370. The feed stream to E-370 is maximized in order to minimize the butene content to D-110.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

  • C-360A/B consists of two separate cylinders.

Booster Cylinder

  • The booster cylinder compresses overhead vapors from T-350 and T-380 to a pressure sufficient to feed T-370.
  • A cooled two-phase stream from E-351 combines with a vapor recycle stream from D-380 and goes to D-360.
  • Condensate is separated from the two-phase stream in D-360 and pumped by P-360A (D-360 Condensate Pump) to T-350.
  • Overhead vapor from D-360 goes to C-360A/B Booster Cylinder, entering D-363A/B-1 and D-363A/B-2 before entering C-360A/B Booster Cylinder.
  • Vapor exits C-360A/B Booster Cylinder, then goes to D-363A/B-3 and D-363A/B-4.
  • The vapor stream from C-360A/B Booster Cylinder combines with the vapor stream from T-340.
  • The combined vapor is routed to the shell side of E-360 and is cooled by cooling water on the tube side.
  • The cooled vapor goes to D-361 (Deethenizer Drier K.O. Drum).
  • Any liquid entrained in the cooled vapor is separated in D-361 and routed back to T-350.
  • Some of the vapor is routed back to D-360.

Recycle Cylinder

  • Overhead vapor from D-375 goes to C-360A/B Recycle Cylinder, entering D-363A/B-5 and D-363A/B-6 before entering C-360A/B.
  • Vapor exits C-360A/B Recycle Cylinder, then goes to D-363A/B-7 and D-363A/B-8.
  • The vapor is routed to D-110 and E-370.
  • E-370 feed stream is maximized to minimize butene content to D-110, which subsequently minimizes butene to R-201-205.
  • P-381 (Off Spec Butene Booster Pump) is used in this process.

Equipment Details

  • Listed equipment: D-360, P-360A, C-360A/B, D-363A/B-1, D-363A/B-2, D-363A/B-3, D-363A/B-4, D-363A/B-5, D-363A/B-6, D-363A/B-7, D-363A/B-8.

D-360 (Booster Cylinder Suction Drum)

  • Size: 2’6”D x 7’8”L.
  • Equipped with an internal demister pad below the top vapor outlet to remove liquid from the two-phase stream from E-351 and the vapor recycle stream from the Debutenizer System.
  • The two-phase stream enters the side, liquid exits the bottom, and vapor exits the top.
  • A tangential entry nozzle aids in droplet disengagement by reducing liquid entrainment via cyclone action.
  • A mesh stainless steel demister pad on the upper donut baffle prevents liquid entrainment in overhead vapors; the baffle has drain holes.
  • A donut ring below the feed inlet nozzle minimizes turbulence transferred to the liquid surface in the drum bottom.
  • Level controller and sight glass taps have stilling wells for accurate level measurement.
  • The bottom liquid outlet nozzle has a vortex breaker.

P-360A (D-360 Condensate Pump)

  • Positive displacement pump driven by a 7.5 HP induction electric motor.
  • Routes condensate from D-360 to T-350.
