Adjustment and optimisisation of operating parameters of propylene recovery unit to maximise propylene recovery while operating at 110 - 115% of design capacity
Abstract
Based on observations and statistics of the data of propylene loss from sources for evaluation (sample analysis results, operating parameters, etc..) at the Propylene Recovery Unit (PRU) of Dung Quat Oil Refinery, Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company has come up with solutions to fine-tune the operating conditions in a timely manner, reducing propylene loss in the context of changing input crude oil properties and operating at 115% of the PRU’s design capacity. The result of the project has helped the refinery solve the problem of shortage of propylene raw materials to supply for the Polypropylene Unit to produce polypropylene resin.
