Demonstration Plant Engineering and Design. Phase I. The Pipeline Gas Demonstration Plant. Volume 12. Plant Section 1100: Gas Liquor Separation

摘要

Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction, and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase (Phase I). This phase is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I is the process and project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. The design has been completed and is being reported in 24 volumes. This is Volume 12 which covers the design of Plant Section 1100 - Gas Liquor Separation. The purpose of the Gas Liquor Separation unit is to separate the tar and oil from the gas liquor streams from Plant Sections 300 and 400. The gas liquor streams consist mainly of water with varying amounts of dust, tar, oil, phenol, fatty acids, and dissolved gases such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Tar, oil, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and dust are recovered in the Gas Liquor Separation unit producing a gas liquor with primarily ammonia and phenols to be removed in downstream units. The tar product is reinjected into the gasifier. The Gas Liquor Separation unit is designed to produce 2696 pounds per hour of oil product. (ERA citation 81:024846)
