Mechanical design and construction new transport reactor system. Second quarterly progress report, January--March 1995
During the last quarter, the detailed mechanical design of the new reactor system was completed and construction of the unit was well underway. The new design includes a mixing zone, riser reactor, cyclone, and downcomer as well as instrumentation, heating elements, insulation, and a structural system for supporting the unit. Design modifications were also made to the hydrocarbon feed system. There were no changes required for the downstream sections which cool and condition the reactor product gas, recover liquid products (if any), and measure product gas make. Construction of the unit is expected to be completed by early May, with shakedown runs beginning immediately after. Installation of the electrical windings, insulation of the unit, erection, hook-up, and checkout are the main items yet to be completed. It is expected that the unit will be ready for test work in the latter part of May. The initial tests planned are both pyrolysis runs and partial oxidation runs using a simulated aromatic naphtha feed. Later this year, heavier hydrocarbon feeds will be tested.
