My mistake, I uploaded the wrong literature. Here is the first half of the literature. Second half I'll upload in the next post.
In my opinion, micron sized fine liquid droplets of high boilers are produced in the reaction upstream of the scrubber. These are so fine droplets that they are not...
sorry looks like I may have two upload files one at a time ...http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7cc5a4ac-99ee-4a45-8827-0140367e2f34&file=JaegerPacking.pdf
Many thanks for your interest. Here are some of the details you were looking for.
Vapor Flow rate: 18 lbs/h of hydrogen with ~ 5,000 ppm of high boiler contaminants @ ~ 2 psig and 50C
Liquid Flow rate: 28 gpm of ~ 10.5 pH water
Mist eliminator: Koch Otto York Style BD PRF II, 12" dia, 18"...
see the attached file, I have some details in there. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=422ed446-8bf6-475e-83d9-2ac10bf62d6c&file=TwoScrubbers.ppt
I'll clarify the situation further. The net mass transfer in the bubbler will be a function of surface area and residence time of bubbles (besides pH and the inlet gas concentrations which should stay unchanged) and this should be equivalent to the NTU's of the packed scrubber. If there was a...
Yes, thanks for suggestion; that is what I was wanting to do but could not.
The newer application is almost twice the capacity and even if I kept the same liquid depth and same velocity thru each tube, there perhaps might be some mass transfer considerations in selecting the number and diameter...
I have a counter current spray packed scrubber for acidic gases like HBr and some high molecular weight hydrocarbons along with hydrogen coming off a hydrogenator. The scrubber leaves a fine mist that no mist eliminator seems to catch. I am imagining these fine droplets are produced during...
