Minimize the risk of fire during column maintenance
|
Understand the causes of fires in distillation columns equipped with structured packing and how to prevent them.
RECENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN INCREASED awareness of the potential for internal fires in distillation equipment, especially in columns equipped with structured packing. An investigation of 56 incidents (involving columns with various suppliers' products) found that, indeed, the large majority of the fires involved columns packed with wire-gauze and sheet-metal structured packing (Figure 1). This article discusses the findings of that study (conducted by Koch-Glitsch) and provides ...
