Abstract
Vacuum towers employed in chemical processing operations often are plagued by leaks, high pressure dro ps, coking and vacuum loss. Simple, inexpensive tools can identify many common vacuum-tower problems, and systematic probl em analysis - combined with standard stream-analysis methods - can identify many others.
