- Description
- Multiple condensers deployed in series constitute a series of step-down condensers, also known as a condenser train. As an example, if the step-down condenser train is constructed in a fashion adequate to recover at least 4 cuts, four step-down condensers are installed in series. Slack wax can be recovered from the first step-down condenser and its respective demister if operated between 300°F and 360° F, more or less, or, alternatively, slack wax and base oil can be recovered from the first step-down condenser and its respective demister is operated between 130°F and 300°F, more or less. Light sweet crude oil, sometimes described as diesel additive, can be recovered from the second step-down condenser and its respective demister if operated between 90°F and 130°F, more or less. The majority of water can be recovered coincident with recovery of C4 -C8 hydrocarbons, sometimes described as condensate or gasoline additive, from the third step-down condenser and its respective demister if operated between 60°F and 90°F, more or less. A light aromatic cut, as well as the principal balance of water, is recovered from the fourth and final step-down condenser and its respective demister if operated between 35°F and 60°F more or less. Residual, non-condensable gas is recovered from non-condensable gas discharge port on the last condenser.
