Dry Furfural Condenser
Dry Furfural Condenser
(OP)
Hi guys,
What material should I used for a dry Furfural condenser that we used in the lube plant?. We used this equipment to exchange heat from acircuit containing furfural (solvent) to a cold mix of furfural and hydrocarbon (containing the lubrican to be separated later).
Thanks for your time

RE: Dry Furfural Condenser
However, if the feed contains naphthenic acidity one would need to go SS 317L, especially on the higher temperature HP furfural vapors vs extract-mix exchangers, and other hot equipment.
Always keep chlorides low, otherwise metallurgies would have to be further upgraded.
The lab should regularly check among others:
1. vacuum gas oil feedstocks for Cl- content
2. feedstocks for naphthenic acidity
3. circulating furfural acidity
4. inert gas quality
Good luck. If soldador is in Spanish: mucho cuidado y buena suerte.
