  • FALSE DOWNCOMER LIPS
    Publication number: 20170232362
    Abstract: Embodiments of false downcomers are described having a lip extending inwardly from a bottom portion of the wall of the false downcomer. The lip has a length sufficient to deflect downward vapor from exiting through the bottom opening.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 19, 2014
    Publication date: August 17, 2017
    Applicant: FLUOR TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Henry Kister, Carlos Trompiz
  • Optimum net wash oil flow rate in crude vacuum distillation units
    Patent number: 9101855
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for optimizing a net wash oil flow rate of a distillation unit to maximize a yield of distillate products. Based at least in part upon an incoming wash oil and total feed flow rates to the distillation unit, a wash oil entrainment amount can be calculated using an entrainment engine and an entrainment signal produced. The incoming wash oil flow rate to the distillation unit can be automatically adjusted based on the wash oil entrainment estimation while the distillation unit is operating.
