Reaction Subsystem- Major Equipment, How it works, Controlling, & Shut Down Flashcards
What are the 3 subsystems of the 634 HDS?
Reaction Subsystem, Stipper Subsystem, Hydrogen Compression Subsystem
Overall, what happens in the Reaction Subsystem?
undesirable sulfure and nitrogen compounds in the feed stream are converted to hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Olefins and aromatics in the feed are saturated with hydrogen.
Why are the feed filters important?
They remove solids from the feed stream which could foul the catalyst beds in the reactor.
What does an increasing differential pressure across the in-service filter indicate?
The filter media is plugging and must be replaced. If the differential pressure is excessive, the stand-by filter is placed in service and the in-service filter is taken out of service
The natural gas blanket on the Feed Surge Drum Prevents _________ from entering the drum and provides sufficient suction pressure for the Reactor Fresh Feed Pumps.
Oxygen
The Target Outlet temperature for the Reactor Feed heater (F1) is ________ F
665 F
What is the normal control mode for the Feed Surge Drum pressure (pc0001)?
Local
What can happen if the fresh feed flow (as indicated by FT0003 A/B/C) drops below 1070 BPH?
Low- Low (2oo3 voting) The SIS interlock is activated which initiates a shutdown of the Reactor feed heater.
The potential effects of a low combined hydrogen flow to the fresh feed (FI0016) are ________ ______ and insufficient hydrogen for desired ______, resulting in off-spec product.
catalyst deactivation, reactions
The potential effects of a high reactor outlet temperature are premature _________ of the catalyst and loss of _________ of the recycle hydrogen stream.
deactivation, purity
What is the high pressure alarm setpoint on the unit pressure controller (PC0007) _________ -psig?
907 psig
A low hot flash drum level can allow high-pressure gas to flow to the Product Stripper resulting in damage to the tower’s _________ and the possibility of lifting PSVs.
tray’s
The potential effect of a high Hot Flash Vapor Air Coolers outlet temperature is a decrease in the __________ of the recycle Hydrogen
purity
The Reactor Feed Heater high coil pressure alarm activates at _________-psig.
980 psig
The SIS will trip the Reactor Feed Heater on a low-low fuel gas pressure of _______
2%
