Abstract
A unit and system are operable with cooling fluid for handling effluent produced in a cleaning process of refinery equipment. A drum of the unit has an inlet for the effluent, a liquid outlet for condensed effluent, and a vapor outlet for uncondensed effluent. A shell disposed in an interior of the drum and has a passage communicating outside the drum. A heat exchanger is disposed in the passage of the shell. As the effluent from the inlet enters the shell's passage at the distal end of the shell, the heat exchanger cools the effluent using cooling fluid cycled through the heat exchanger. Condensed effluent escaping from the shell can fill the drum's interior up to a liquid level. Uncondensed effluent escaping from the shell can collect in the open space of the drum, being subject to further condensation.
