Maintenance And Capacity Improvements In Vis-Breaking (Thermal Cracking)

Challenge

Recover considerable heat energy from cracked residue and use it for preheating.

Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers can undertake preheating duties using the gas oil fraction.

Turbulent flow even at low velocities resists fouling better than laminar flow in shell and tube exchangers
Also effective as coolers of the light distillate vapor, particularly where column capacity increases have resulted in incomplete condensation.
