What should be paid attention to when selecting degreasers for air separation equipment pipelines and equipment

The degreasing agent for air separation equipment pipelines and equipment should be selected first, as degreasing agents have toxicity or explosiveness. When using them, attention should be paid to preventing poisoning and the formation of explosive mixtures.

The following types of degreasers are applicable: 1) Carbon tetrachloride, toxic, suitable for cast iron parts, steel, alloy steel parts, and copper parts. 2) 95% ethanol, flammable and explosive, suitable for aluminum parts. 3) Alkaline cleaning, heating 10% sodium hydroxide solution to 60-90 ° C, then neutralizing with 1% nitric acid and rinsing with clean water, suitable for pipelines with high oil pollution.

There are four commonly used degreasing methods: infusion method, circulation method, steam condensation method, and wiping method. The quality of degreasing can be verified based on the relative increase in oil content in the degreasing agent after degreasing. The general qualified standard for degreasing of internal surfaces is that the relative increase in oil content in the degreaser during re cleaning should not exceed 20mg/L. The qualified standard for degreasing on exposed surfaces is to wipe the degreased surface with white filter paper, and no oil stains can be seen on the paper.

In the process of operation, especially in the start-up and shutdown of the air separation unit, one-way force should be avoided on the instrument. During the start-up of the equipment, close the high pressure and low pressure valves firstly, then open the balance valve, and then slowly open the high pressure (or low pressure) valve, so that the measured medium can enter the positive (negative) pressure chamber of the transmitter. If the liquid is to be measured, the gas in the positive (negative) pressure chamber should be discharged from the upper vent. If the gas is measured, drain the liquid accumulated in the positive (negative) pressure chamber from the lower drain screw hole. After discharging the gas (liquid), close the balance valve, and then open the valve on the other side. When the equipment is shut down, the high pressure (or low pressure) valve should be closed first, then the balance valve should be opened, and then the valve should be closed on the other side.
