Column apparatuses are widely used in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries as the main element of technological equipment.
Today, buying a mini refinery is quite a profitable business. It is quite easy to establish a small production that provides constant income, even without having a special education.
An important link in the refinery is the distillation column.
Column devices are used as the main technological equipment in the processing of hydrocarbon raw materials and petroleum products. They consist of a single cylindrical body with a removable upper part, with hatches, manholes for ease of maintenance, equipped with places for connecting instrumentation and visual control devices. Depending on the purpose, mass transfer plates of various configurations or mass transfer nozzles are installed inside. Plates and nozzles are often installed in one column.
The main types of column equipment:
• rectification – used for separation of liquid media;
• stabilization – necessary for oil stabilization;
• steaming – volatile impurities are isolated from liquid mixtures;
• vacuum – they work on the principle of creating steam irrigation;
• oxidizing – they oxidize raw materials with oxygen in the air.
Our specialists will select the optimal design solutions in terms of performance, costs and technical parameters.
Such structures are used to reduce losses during oil transportation to refineries. In the stabilization column, oil is stabilized and light fractions are separated from it. They can be one- or two-column. The first option is used for commercial oil with a low gas content, the second one is used to stabilize raw materials highly saturated with gases.
