Process Description

Application:

Hydrogen makeup compressor recycle valve Hydrocracker Unit

Process
The Hydrocracker unit is fed with hydrocarbon
liquid and hydrogen and the compressor is for
feeding hydrogen to the reactor. The hydrogen /
hydrocarbon feed blend is typically heated in a
fired heater and sent to the reactors where the
cracking reaction occurs. After heat exchange, the
hydrocarbon products are separated from
hydrogen and light gases in a series of separators
and flash drums. Hydrocarbon products are further
processed in a fractionation section.
The reactions taking place in the Hydrocracker
process include cracking, whereby long chain
hydrocarbons are broken into smaller chains, and
hydrogenation, where any free radicals or double
bonds are saturated. The end result is a
hydrocarbon product whose average molecular
weight is much smaller than the molecular weight
of the feed.

Process Description

Application:

Cold High Pressure Separator Letdown in Hydrocracker Unit

Process
The hydrocracking process converts (or cracks)
heavy feedstocks into lighter components by
selective reactions with hydrogen in multiple
heated catalyst beds. The process is most
commonly used to create gasoline or diesel
product streams.
The incoming gas oil feed is heated in a furnace to
reaction temperature. It is combined with a recycle
hydrogen stream before flowing through the
reactor with multiple catalyst beds. Additional
recycle hydrogen is added between each bed to
control the cracking conversion. The reactor
effluent is sent to high-pressure, then low-pressure
separators. The vapor from the separators is
recycled through a compressor back to the feed.
Makeup hydrogen is added to this stream as
necessary. The liquid from the low pressure
separator is sent to a fractionator where the
reactor effluent is separated into component
product streams.
Common Valve Problems:
High pressure drop, flashing service causes
vibration & trim wear
Solids (corrosion product) in the service cause
erosion & clogging problems

Process Description

Application:

Hydrogen Compressor Recycle Valve in Catalytic Reforming

Process
Catalytic reforming is a process used in petroleum
refining to increase the octane rating of naphtha so
it can be used for gasoline blend stocks.
In this type of process, there are three reactors
stacked on top of each other so that the catalyst
pellets can be moved from reactor 1 to 2 and from
2 to 3. From reactor 3 the catalyst is regenerated
by burning off (1000F) coke formed in the
reactors. The catalyst is then returned, or adjusted,
then sent to the No.1 reactor. The catalyst (pellets)
normally takes one day to be regenerated and
adjusted before returning. Hydrogen is circulated
through the reactors with the naphtha feed to
minimize the formation of coke on the catalyst.
This Hydrogen Recycle Compressor service can be
suitable for CCI Anti surge valve application.

Application:

H2S/CO2 Stripper Loop Rich Amine Letdown Valve

Process
Amine, often called MEA or DEA, is a chemical
liquid used to remove contaminants such as
hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
from raw gas. The amine liquid is pumped into the
top of a column. The raw gas enters through the
bottom of the column and, as it rises, the raw gas
passes through the amine liquid. In this process,
the H2S and CO2 are absorbed in to the amine
liquid and are removed from the gas. This process
is similar to carbon dioxide being absorbed into a
carbonated beverage. The gas leaving from the
column is referred to as clean and is sent for
distribution or use in the refinery. The amine at the
bottom of the column is referred to as rich amine.
This level control valve is referred to as the rich
amine letdown valve.

the absorption column (T-35 to 50 Deg C, Pr. 5

Pr. 1.4 to 1.7 bar)
Due to high pressure drop, outgassing occurs
in the valve making the media two phase flow
which causes high vibration, noise, high
erosion, due to increased velocities.
Amine itself is corrosive in nature and along

Process
In a typical refinery, the cold high pressure
separator (CHPS) separates the rich hydrogen gas,
which is sent to the recycle compressor, from the
liquid effluent. The liquid phase is separated into
recoverable products and sour water. The
recoverable products are sent to the fractionation
tower or low pressure separator through the CHPS
letdown valve. The letdown valve controls the level
in the separator as flow moves to the fractionation
column. Many separators also include a sour water
separation section. In some processes, these valves
may dump the liquid effluent from the HHPS and
the CHPS to a low pressure separator (HLPS or
CLPS) before flowing to the tower. Utilizing a low
pressure separator allows additional removal of
hydrogen and light hydrocarbons.

Process Description

Application:

Antisurge valves in MCR (Mixed Component Refrigeration) cycle.

Process
The adjacent figure shows a typical MCR cycle.
Natural Gas cooled upto -40 deg C is brought into
main LNG exchanger. This compression requires an
intercooler and chiller, shown pictorially, to reject
the heat from the liquefaction cycle to the
environment. The high pressure MR is partially
condensed in the chiller before flowing into the
spiral-wound main cryogenic heat exchanger
(MCHE) (not shown). In this exchanger this stream
is continuously cooled and condensed tube-side
against the cold, LP mixed refrigerant stream.
Once condensed the cool high pressure MR is
expanded. The cold expanded MR returns to the
MCHE as the cold stream and continuously cools
the warm refrigerant stream and cools, condenses,
and subcools the incoming high pressure, dry
natural gas. The warmed, vaporized, LP MR then
leaves the MCHE and returns to the first stage of
the refrigerant compressor to complete the cycle.

LNG

Process Description

Application:

Antisurge valves in Propane cycle

Process
The treated & dry natural gas obtained from the
dehydration unit is fed in to the propane
compression section to remove most of the natural
gas liquids. There could be 1, 2 or 3 stage propane
compressors in the cycle, or a single, huge, gas
turbine driven compressor, for precooling of the
natural gas and condensation of heavier NGL. The
gas is cooled down to a temperature of around -30
to -40 deg C.
This pre-cooled gas is then sent for liquefaction
and sub cooling in further stages using MCR as the
refrigerant.

DEHYDRATION PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM

LNG

Process Description

Application: Turboexpander Bypass JT Valve


Process - Demethanizer
Turbo expanders are high efficiency devices which are used in
LNG to for separation of Natural Gas Liquids ( Eg. propane,
butane & ethane) from natural gas. High pressure gases
undergo isentropic expansion in turbo expanders. During this
process the gases get cooled as they pass through and work is
produced as a by product. Gases get cooled sufficiently enough,
that the temperature falls below the dew point of many of the
heavier constituents resulting in condensation.

Typical Installation Schematic:

J-T valve is used as bypass to turbo expander. Gases undergo


similar cooling process, but in an isenthalpic pressure
reduction. Here no work is done. This valve is used for more
efficient startup and shut down of turbo expanders. Also if the
expander reached full capacity, additional requirement can be
taken care of, by the J-T Valve.
P1 48 to 103 bar
P2 13.8 to 48.3 bar

Application
Requirements

Temperature - down to (-160 Deg C)


Primary Function: Bypass Full Capacity OR Make UP GAS
Ensure smooth Startup and Shutdown and used if capacity
of turbo expander is reached.
High Pressure drop causes high noise and vibration.
Valve should posses same characteristic and capacity as
that of the turbo expander.
Body and trim material selection is important due to low
temperatures

Typical CCI Valve Design:


Body: Typically material which can survive low
temperatures. Eg : A 351 CF8M, LCC
Plug: SS 316 Stellited
Packing : Special extended bonnet with special packing
Actuation: Double Acting Piston Actuator.
