Yulin TSA INITIAL CONDITIONING PROCEDURE
Purpose
The TSA’s contain a layer of CaX material to remove CO2 and N2O. Water typically does not contact this layer. But under some plant upsets maintenance, or during loading of sieve; water may reach this material. As the residual water content on the CaX
increases, its capacity for CO2 and N2O decreases, which can lead to premature break through (i.e. shorter on-stream times). Normal regeneration temperatures are not high enough to completely remove water from the CaX material, so high temperature
regeneration is required. This procedure describes the steps for the initial regeneration of the TSA.
Scope
This procedure assumes the ASU has been isolated and secured, such that it is safe to operate the main air compressor, DCAC, and the TSA.
Warnings/Notes
The high temperature regeneration causes a few situations that must be monitored closely.
∙ The TSA regeneration circuit isn’t designed for high temperature and pressure. The regeneration circuit pressure must operate
∙ The temperature to the main exchanger
∙ Ensure the area around the TSA and Regeneration Heaters is clear.
∙ The minimum regeneration flow rate is 13,700 Nm3/hr. If the regeneration flow is too low it won’t be effective in removing the water or steaming of the sieve could occur.
∙ Breakthrough of CO2 (>50 ppm CO2) onto a hot bed could cause some damage to the sieve.
∙ In order to achieve the desired effect, the total heat time for each adsorber vessel must be >12 hours with regeneration flow conditions of 14500 Nm3/hr at 300 C
regen inlet temp. Assume heater outlet temp is 330 C to account for piping heat leak. ∙ The on-line time for the adsorber is about 30 hours at 33 C air inlet temperature and 15000 Nm3/hr of air flow.
∙ TSA on line time for adsorber can be increased if air temperature is lower. At 15000 nm3/h bootstrap flow, 28 C and 5 barg inlet conditions, the on stream time is approx 38 hours.
∙ The steam and electric heaters must be run to achieve the 330 C regeneration temperature.
∙ During regen, air flow to the on stream adsorber should be limited to the adsorber regeneration flow of 14500 Nm3/hr to minimize on stream adsorber water load and maximize on stream time.
