SORBEAD INDI www.sorbeadindia.comWhat is LPG ? * Liquefied Petroleum Gas Its Colorless & Odorless. Its compositions of Methane, Propane 60% ,Ethane & butanes 40%. Propane & butane % ages changes according to seasons, Winters — More propane & in summer more butanes. Small concentration of propylene & butylenes in small conc. Powerful odorant Ethane thiols CH,CH.SH areadded for leak test. At normal temperatures and pressures, LPG will evaporate. Its is low emitting carbon fuel- Only 19% CO2 per Kwh than oils, Its having Calorific value of 26.1 kWh/m? than natural Gas methane 10.6 kWh/m?. Itsalso called as C3-C4 Hydrocarbon. LPG replaces Chlorofluorocarbons as Aerosol propellants. Exiip twine: SORERADINDIALPG Compositions Its consist of Methane , butane , propane ,ethane. Acid components’ like CO2 ,H2S COS & H20. RSH- Mercaptans. Methyl Mercaptans CH3SH. Ethyl Mereaptans C2H5SH. Propyl Mercaptans C3H7SH. Butyl Mercaptans C4H9SH. Longer Chain 6 Ring Mereaptans. <-Methny! Mereaptans - COS +H20...Here COS always goes with recovered propane & H2S fractionates with Ethane. Sometimes Methane is present in HC , which fractionates & thus concentrates with propane. Molecular Sieves 4A for such applications are best suited. The Various Mercaptans does have pore diameter between 12-15A for which special grade of 13X is prepared for best adsorption. i nk a SORBEAD INDIAMolecular Sieve Ageing ? The aging of molecular sieves leads to loss of adsorption capacity and deterioration of mechanical properties Causes of Aging : - Insoluble water = Liquid entrainment (hydrocarbon, water) *— High water partial pressure at high temperature (above 150°C) e~ Amine carryover e= C02, Carbonic acid formation °— H2CO3 + (Na*, Cat, K*) Na2CO3 - NaHCO3 - Ca CO3 -K2CO3 °— Decomposition of mercaptans during regeneration e— Presence of chlorides — Mercury Camels 6 SNBEAD INDI Tens Dame SORBEAD INDIAparety & trouble shooting Periodic rechanging & replacements required. Adsorbent will age with time & will became less effective. Ageing reduces the differential loading & slows down the mass transfer rate. Leakage of Contamination in bed may occur. Mechanical failure will lead wrong performance. Poor mechanical design will destroy the bed support in no time, Improper adsorbent installation will offer ir-ratic results. “Like side wall of column will leak through’. Non compactness of bed will lead to channels & more escape of LPG with out having correct contact with adsorbents, Low crushing strength of Adsorbents will offer more powder formation inside the bed Presence of trace un known components in Process Feed.
