Hi All,
Our DHU is designed on TSA based and we are facing problem in moisture break through. here is some information for your consideration and feedback on this topic.
MOL Sieve type: 4 A (UOP)
Bed: 2+1 (one on regeneration +one adsorption+ one standby)
Feed gas flow: 98 MMSCFD
Regeneration gas flow: 10 MMSCFD (design)
Mole Sieve height: 5.79m (4A mol sieves loaded in beds).
Liquid recovery in scrubber: very low
Gas inlet temperature: 68 0F
Feed gas is cooled with propane chiller before entering in inlet scrubber.
When regenerating on low pressure it work fine for three days and then start moisture breakthrough on normal (high pressure regeneration mode). I attached a DCS screen shot that is indicating bed inlet and outlet temp difference is almost 40 0F but outlet temperature start decreasing after 40-45 minutes. What i understand water is not fully removed because outlet temperature remain high for longer time.
Forum experts i need your advice how to trouble shoot this problem.
Regards
Root
