In our VDU column we are planning to route slop recycle directly from Chimney tray (Above flash-zone) to stripping section using gravity flow. Is it feasible to route slop recycle without slop quench pot & pump?

Yes. It is one of older designs and will work hydraulically. However, the preferred design is one where the spent wash oil is metered. The fresh wash oil should be adjusted to maintain an adequate flow rate of spent wash oil.
