Abstract:
The epoxy ethane (EO) stripper is important equipment which could make epoxy ethane into ethylene alcohol in the petrochemical industry. Widely thin area,even dotted pitting and holes were found on the inwall near the liquid entrance and exit. Those would give rise to bad influences to the safe service of the equipment. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were used to simulate the flow field of a tray,in order to study the effect of flow to the corrosion. The results demonstrated that the corrosion area was consistent with the fact. In addition,with the liquid entrance speed increased, the wall shear stress near entrance and exit increase, the corrosion would aggravate. On the contrary,with the gas speed increased, the wall shear stress near the entrance increase, the corrosion would mitigate. So, the speed of liquid would be reduced using expanding the entrance area under the constant flux of liquid,and then the corrosion damage would be controlled.
