Gas recycle facilities
Description
Gas recycle facilties for a reactor system are often a pre-requisite for process R&D in, e.g. catalytic hydroprocessing of oil distillate fractions. Strata have an in-depth process knowledge and operational experience of reactor gas recycle systems, so as to directly simulate commercial operations whilst reducing operational costs associated with gas make-up utilities e.g. H2.
Features
Gas recycle systems require marriage of several pressure vessels e.g. 3 phase separators, gas measurements, light ends coalescers, gas sampling and wet scrubbing according to needs
Variable gas flow rates via compressor or diaphragm pumping systems to effectively study gas recycle rates on process parameters, with on-line gas sampling techniques if necessary
-
Gas make up from storage utilities to reactor system for mass balances purposes
-
Option for sampling on-line of recirculating gases within reactor system.
Benefits
-
Operational efficiency of recycle facilities, with optimised utilities for make-up gases
-
Reduced cost for gas make up relative to once through gas operation
-
Efficient liquid and gas separation within recycle system to prevent liquid carryover and/or contamination issues
-
Options for high pressure gas scrubbing, with caustic, amine or water media if required.
