Exploration on Reducing Operating Energy Consumption of Solvent Deasphalting Unit in a Refinery
This article introduces the operating status of a 1.6 million t/a solvent deasphalting unit in a refinery,analyzes the reasons for high energy consumption during the production process of the unit,as well as the relevant optimization and adjustment measures taken and the results obtained.Ultimately,through optimization measures,the average energy consumption of the equipment was reduced from 21.97 kgEO/t of raw materials to 21.35 kgEO/t of raw materials,reducing energy consumption by 0.62 kgEO/t of raw materials.The dissolution and desorption unit achieved cost efficiency improvement.
