Hi,
I work as a mechanical engineer in a plant for the production of sulfuric acid, we are going to reconstruct an absorption tower : where acid is sprayed form the top ... as it descends, it comes to contact with a gaz going in the opposit direction ... hence the absorption ... i am wondering about the codes and standarts that are used for the design of such equipement ASME or API 650, knowing that the gaz pressure does not excced 1.15 bars, my reaserch through the internt guided me to believing that most towers are designed according to ASME, but we have a flat bottom , and i know for a fact that ASME does not deal with flat bottom tanks
Can any one guide me !
