Thanks everyone for your valuable insights

Hi Thanks for your feedback. But is there some way of not making an investment in FCCR or a vis-breaker unit. Would there be a market for such product . where one could sell the vacuum residue portion to buyer who could use this a feedstock? I understand that there are many refineries that do...

Thanks George Would a high speed centrifuge ( disc stack centrifuge ) work after the hydrocyclone instead of filter cartridge ?

Hi Is it possible to recovery of valuable oil from VDU bottom - vacuum residue portion without the coker or delayed coker unit ?

@ TugboatEngg - Would not the capex be extremely high for centrifuge compared to autobackwash filters with a standby Presume centrifuges will also have high power consumption as a operating cost vis-a-vis catridge replacement in a filter. Plus centrifuge would also have some maintenance...

Thanks for your reply @ moltenmetal :It comes out as suspended solids and as you say could be dust. Was wondering a solution between filter cartridges or a high speed centrifuge(disc stack type), which should be better option. @poli60 - I do not have the analysis. The reduction is to achieve...

Hi I am looking for a suitable filter to treat 250 cu.m/hr of process media comprising of 85% heavy fuel oil and 15% gasoline. The intent is to reduce ash content from inlet of 1000 ppm to outlet of 50 ppm. I need to make a CAPEX and OPEX comparison for various filtration technologies...

Hi I recently received a quote for a motor and states that the starting method is "Direct on line". I had requested a motor to be suitable for it to VFD driven. When I checked with the motor manufacturer, they conveyed that the same motor is suitable for VFD start as well. I was under the...

Thanks everyone Regards Bala

Hi I need to select a VFD driven motor for Mexico where the supply voltage is 480VAC, 60Hz for an equipment. The standard motors available in market (ABB,IE3 / Equivalent) are either 460VAC, 60Hz or 500VAC, 60Hz. Which one is recommended - 460VAC or 500vac Motor and why ? Regards Bala

Unfortunately not. Thanks

Hi Can you please advise the difference between PN 10 DIN 2576 and DIN EN1092-1 Form E/F. Regards Balaji

Hello Thanks everyone for your input. As regards the motor, it is available with the manufacturer. This requirement is for Russia.But do agree that it is too much hassle and cost, instead would make more sense to purchase a VFD driven motor. I hope VFD motors for my spec do get manufactured.

Hi Can I operate a 660VAC,50Hz, 37Kw foot mounted -CT motor with a VFD ? Are these any special motors in terms of their construction, protection etc ? Regards
