In Butadiene plants,

In Butadiene plants, various types of heat exchangers can be used depending on the specific requirements of the process. Here are some common types of heat exchangers that might be employed:

  1. Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers:

    • ASME Section VIII Div 1 & Div 2: These are pressure vessels designed as per ASME standards, suitable for a wide range of applications including heat exchange in Butadiene plants.

    • TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association): Provides standardized configurations and design criteria for shell and tube heat exchangers, ensuring compatibility with industry standards.

  2. Air Cooled Heat Exchangers (ACHE):

    • API 661: Specifies the requirements for air-cooled heat exchangers used in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries.

    • TEMA: Also provides guidelines for the design and construction of air-cooled heat exchangers.

  3. Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE):

    • ASME Section VIII Div 1 & Div 2: For plate heat exchangers designed as pressure vessels.

    • API 660: Covers plate heat exchangers used in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries.

  4. Finned Tube Heat Exchangers:

    • TEMA: Specifies the design and construction guidelines for finned tube heat exchangers.

    • HTRI (Heat Transfer Research, Inc.): Provides software and research-based guidelines for the design and analysis of various heat exchangers, including finned tube types.

  5. Coil Wound Heat Exchangers:

    • ASME Section VIII Div 1 & Div 2: Applicable for pressure vessel designs of coil wound heat exchangers.

    • TEMA: Provides guidelines for the construction and classification of coil wound heat exchangers.

  6. Plate-Fin Heat Exchangers:

    • API 661: Covers plate-fin heat exchangers used in the petrochemical and natural gas industries.

Each of these types of heat exchangers has its own design standards and guidelines to ensure safety, efficiency, and compatibility with the specific operational conditions of Butadiene plants. Compliance with standards like ASME, TEMA, API 660, HTRI, and others ensures that the heat exchangers meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
