Study Notes
Saturate Reduction System
- Designed to decrease paraffin levels in alpha olefin products.
- Facilitates the following stages of processing to enhance product quality.
Reactor Effluent Separators
- Liquid from D-310A/B is directed to E-320 (Catalyzed Product Heater).
- Heats liquid using 60 psig steam on the shell side for efficient processing.
Catalyst Injection and Mixing
- 0.2% nickel catalyst is introduced before the liquid reaches M-320 (Static Mixer).
- A thorough mixture emerges in D-320 (Catalyzed Mixing Vessel) ensuring effective reaction.
Cooling and Washing Processes
- The NAO product undergoes cooling in E-321 (Catalyzed Product Cooler) with cooling water on the shell side.
- After cooling, the product is further processed in T-340 (Caustic Wash Tower).
Catalyst Supply and Preparation
- 2% nickel catalyst is sourced from outside suppliers, stored in 55-gallon drums.
- Loaded into D-321 (Catalyst Blend Drum) equipped with M-321 (Blend Drum Mixer) for mixing.
- The concentration in D-321 is lowered to 0.2% using C14 as a diluent for optimal effectiveness.
