Today I would like to talk about which level meter measurement should be chosen in the underground heavy dirt oil tank to achieve accuracy and safety.
The underground heavy dirt oil tank is an important equipment of for the supporting storage and transportation system of the coal oil processing unit and is located at the lowest point of the whole unit.
In the normal production and start-up and shutdown process of the oil processing unit, a large amount of wastewater and wax oil materials will enter and exit the underground heavy dirt oil tank, which is essential to balance the normal production of the oil processing unit storage and transportation system.
Let’s first understand the characteristics of the working conditions. The coal-to-oil processing unit is divided into a hydro-refining unit and a hydrocracking unit.
The hydro-refining unit mixes washed naphtha, tanker-qualified wax, and Fischer-Tropsch stabilized heavy oil into the hydro-refining reactor.
The main reactions in hydro finishing are the removal of sulphides and nitrides from the feed blend and the saturation of olefins, in all of which hydrogen is consumed and heat is released.
The main products include crude naphtha at the top of the fractionator, blended diesel, heavy diesel, and refined tail oil.
A hydrocracking unit is a unit for the production of high-value-added products such as naphtha and diesel components, using crude naphtha, heavy diesel, and tail oil from the top of the fractionating tower of the refining unit as raw materials for alkane hydrocracking reactions and isomerization reactions under high temperature and pressure, hydrogen, and catalyst.
Then it is more than appropriate to choose an 80GHz FM radar level meter in this working condition, it is a higher frequency radar level meter, and the main advantages are a smaller emission angle, more concentrated energy, stronger return signal, and stronger penetration, higher measurement accuracy, can be applied to a variety of occasions measurement, compared with other radar products more stable and reliable.
The 80GHz high-frequency radar is used for oil processing underground heavily contaminated tanks to bring about a smaller beam angle (3°), avoiding and reducing the impact of tank walls and interference.
Its special tracking algorithm with 80GHz HF technology further improves reliability and its non-contact characteristics, maintenance-free after installation, and normal DCS screen trends, allowing for long-term stable measurements.
