Pumparound vacuum towers, 293 trays

Crude oil fractionators are an example of a more elaborate system. They make several products as side streams and usually have some pumparound reflux in addition to top reflux which serve to optimize the diameter of the tower. Figure 3.13 is of such a tower operating under vacuum in order to keep the temperature below cracking conditions. The side streams, particularly those drawn off atmospheric towers, often are steam stripped in external towers hooked up to the main tower in order to remove lighter components. These strippers each have four or five trays, operate... [Pg.47]
