Abstract
The present study was done to find the probable causes of AISI316L structured packings (SPs) failure in a dewatering phenol tower. In this tower, the SPs would provide a high contact surface between streams to maximize and accelerate the distillation process. Increasing vibration of discharging pump showed that there were detached pieces of SPs in pump's strainer. During plant overhaul, corrosion inspection was done and some of the broken...
