Hydrotreater reactor loop separator vessels have, in some case, foaming and liquid carry-over problems. An installed hot separator at Marathon Ashland Petroleum's Garyville, Louisiana refinery had severe foaming and significant gas carry-under problems. Documented gas carry-under problems were not reported for this separator type. In this case history, the refiner and the engineering and construction contractor investigated equipment and processing conditions that were potential contributors to the foaming problem. The investigation gathered data to troubleshoot the separation problem. The case history discusses several solutions and identifies the problem source.
