Hi!
I would like to ask if it is acceptable to use saturated stripping steam instead of superheated stripping steam for a vacuum tower? Wouldn't this pose any damage to the vacuum tower internals? What happened is that the stripping steam production of vacuum pipestill unit (by steam generation section) is lower than required so we would like to admit the saturated stripping steam from header.
Superheated stripping steam being produced has a temperature of 350 deg C and a pressure of 450 KPag.While saturated steam is 150 deg C/400 KPag.
Thank you so much!
