Cause Analysis and Improvement of Scale Formation in High Pressure Recycle Gas System of High Pressure Polyethylene Plant
In the high pressure recycle gas system of a company's 250,000-ton/year tubular method high-pressure polyethylene device(also known as tubular low-density polyethylene device),recycle ethylene and molten polymer can not be effectively separated,and a large number of low molecular weight polyethylene is produced,resulting in the phenomenon of heat exchanger scale,which has a great impact on the long-term operation of the device.In this paper,the harm,cause,prevention and treatment measures of scale formation in high pressure recycle gas system are described,which is of guiding significance to control scale formation.
