My stream is 0.43% methane,65% N2,26% Hydrogen,0.65% carbon dioxide, 7.2% carbon monoxide. . the lower flambility limit for hydrogen is 5% . does this means if i just give a spark to this stream.its gonna lit?
i'm actually tasked with designing it, having only a bit of chemical eng background. its starting at point zero for me. are u familiar with a thermal oxidizer or fired heater?
i assume the major concern of discharging this stream is into the environment is the methane gas? and any NOx that is formed from the combustion? is there any book that would be of help in designing this? should it be a fired heater or thermal oxidizer?
Hi,
I have been given a design project where i have to design a thermal oxidizer to get rid of a stream of gas that consist of 86% nitrogen, 0.3% Methane and the rest CO2, H2 and H2O.
Should i use a thermal oxidizer or fired heater? which is easier? as im expected to do calculations on them...
