Thanks for your opinions guys. I had intentions of actully calculating the volumes of Nitrogen required, but as you have all suggested, the experimental method is the way to go. I will try this, I am planning on going for a worst case scenario and then applying this to the other vessels on site...
Can anybody advise me on vapour collapse during cooling in a reactor, ie after a distillation when cooling is initiated. We are currently using nitrogen to sweep through the reactor and keep air out. However it is feared that we may not be using enough nitrogen. Any tips on how I can calculate...
