Abstract: This paper takes the ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) regeneration tower (C0469) in the refining unit of a PO/MTBE plant as an example, and introduces the typical layout of packed tower and its related equipment such as reboilers, overhead condensers and bottom pumps. Combined with the typical characteristics of packed tower such as small tower diameter and high tower body, the nozzle orientation layout, framework platform layout and the layout of main pipelines of packed tower are studied, providing reference for the design of similar towers in the future.

Key words: packed tower, equipment layout, framework platform layout, nozzle orientation, piping layout
