Study Notes
Compression 1 and 2 System
- Hydrogen is crucial for the #3 HDS Unit operation
- The system contains two four-cylinder reciprocating compressors
- These compressors compress recycle and make-up hydrogen streams
- The compressed hydrogen is then fed to the Reaction and Separation System
- Recycle hydrogen, recovered from the reactor, is compressed to the required partial pressure
- This increased pressure enhances sulfur and nitrogen removal, and hydrogen consumption
- Increased pressure also reduces coke formation and increases hydrogen saturation
- Make-up hydrogen is used to compensate hydrogen consumed during reactions
- Hydrogen is lost during liquid phase and equipment purging
- The system compresses make-up hydrogen in two stages.
- This added hydrogen replenishes losses within the Reaction and Separation System
Recycle Hydrogen Compression Subsystem
- Sweetened recycle hydrogen from the #3 HDS Absorber (13PV-2306), proceeds to the Recycle Hydrogen KO Drum (13PV-2314) for slow-down and separation of entrained liquid
- This prevention of compressor damage is crucial
- The subsystem compresses and supplies recycle hydrogen for #3 HDS Reaction and Separation System
- The increase in hydrogen partial pressure reduces coke deposits and enhances the HDS reaction; thus maintaining adequate partial pressure in the reactors, is imperative
- The subsystem includes a series of components to compress recycle hydrogen (13C-101/102) in a single stage
- The compressed gas then flows to the discharge snubbers, to prevent pulsation in the discharge line
- A portion of the compressed recycle hydrogen serves as reactant supply to the Feed/Effluent Exchanger (13EX-2331)
Make-Up Hydrogen Compression Subsystem
- Make-up hydrogen from the Reformer Hydrogen Header enters the First Stage Make-Up KO Drum (13PV-2312)
- The Make-up Hydrogen is routed through a cooling system (13EX-2337) to reduce temperature following the initial stage of compression
- The compressed hydrogen gas moves to the Interstage Suction Make-Up KO Drum (13PV-2313) allowing for further liquid removal and compressor protection
- The final stage of compression happens in the "3L" and "4R" cylinders in the #1/#2 Distillate Hydrogen Compressors (13C-101/102); doubling the compressor capacity
- Make-up hydrogen is then routed to the Feed/Effluent Exchanger (13EX-2331)
- Sour water is collected and routed to the SWS Collection Drum (14PV-2402) and the Amine Decanter (13PV-2307) for recovery and re-use or disposal
Lube Oil Subsystem
- Lube oil is pumped from the #3 HDS Compressor Oil Filtration Pump (13J106/107) to the Lube Oil Subsystem, through multiple filters, cleaning the oil of particulates
- The filtered lube oil is supplied to the 13C-101/102 crank case.
- The subsystem ensures the lube oil is circulating to prevent overheating and material damage.
- Filtered oil is pumped to the distribution manifold to lubricate compressor cylinders allowing recycled oil reuse, as well as the potential for disposal if needed
