Well, in the short term we'll hydroblast it. Forcefully eject the material from the tubes with high pressure water, somewhere around 40k psi.

While we're running, basically we try to keep it as hot as possible while still getting the heat exchange needed to maintain proper partial condensation of product (while separating unwanteds) so we can continue to strip. See pic, top right, though we're not running a product at that moment.

Reactor (biggest vessel) is operating at 300C, boiling off volatiles comprised of low boiling point oils and water. We are trying to separate the oils from the water in the heat exchanger I linked above, which is similar to E2801 in this pic.

We run that exchanger on steam and monitor differential pressure across it. I built a controller, that varies internal steam pressure (ergo temp) to minimize pressure while also minimizing dP.

So, it lets itself stay cool but only as long as dP is low, then it heats up.
>>718609148

Used to have a nice pair of redwings steel toe when I did landscaping/construction. In winter, had the cheapest pair of snowboots because too cheap to get those plastic things the old guys wore on the slopes making snow.

After going back to school and landing a career not meant for mexicans, I chucked em. Now, a good pair of timberlands for hiking and to the office on snowy days (I walk to work). Only problem is that now they are starting to stink like old funk and sweat, which is a problem indoors.

So I take it your company is outsourcing and actually paying more when you could have a toolroom and a few CNC machines that could crank out parts not only on the fly... But cheaper?

they're running the bare essentials in the shop, other than pipefitters, honestly. we use contractors for most capital jobs, all insulation, and all cleanup.

yeah, paper mills feed us. we take your BLS and acidulate, distill, and ultimately upgrade it more useful shit.
>>718613558
you should. that's the best way to turn large profits. specialize in asbestos removal, scaffolding, or environmental cleanup.
