Discussion on Operation Safety and Piping Design of Process Layout of Reforming Reactor
The reforming reactor is the core equipment of the reforming unit,and the safety of the reactor op-eration is the guarantee of the normal production of the reforming unit.The layout of the reactor not only directly affects the engineering design of the reactor piping and structure,but also has a certain impact on the operational safety of the reactor.In this paper,the reactor arrangement of two kinds of reforming process,namely,overlapping arrangement and paral-lel arrangement,was introduced and compared in terms of operation safety and piping structure design.It was concluded that the parallel arrangement of re-actors was more conducive to the safe operation of re-forming reactors,and simplified the piping and struc-tural design work obviously.
