Could the experts please help check whether this gas-liquid separator is feasible?
Thread Content
The work requires the design of a gas-liquid separator; I have not done this before, and I’m not sure what issues might arise with the design. Could someone please take a look at it? Among them, the import is sodium silicate liquid at a pressure of 6 kilograms.
Is there anyone who has reference materials on gas-liquid separators? I currently have too few reference materials :'(
HG-T 20570.8-95 Design of Gas-Liquid Separators
I’ve seen this standard; there are only gravity-type and mesh types, and neither of them is very suitable for…
I have previously carried out the separation of liquefied petroleum gas and water, using a baffle structure, and the actual performance was good. It is recommended to use a small test setup for testing.
Should the liquid outlet be made slightly larger than the inlet, so as to reduce the amount of liquid carried in the gas phase when the flow rates at the inlet and outlet are different? Just a guess: lol
Calculate the diameter based on the standards for the third floor, and then determine the height using the residence time. If strict requirements are imposed on the liquid droplets in the gas, a mesh screen is added; otherwise, it isn’t necessary. Add a margin of 20% to 30% to the calculated diameter, and separation will definitely occur in all cases.
I think it is necessary to create several channels so that the droplets trapped against the inner wall can quickly form a film and flow down, eventually gathering at the drainage outlet below.
It is recommended that the inlet be designed to enter along the tangent to the pipe wall； If the amount of entrained gas is not very high, the baffle does not need to be as large ； If there is concern that liquid foam may enter the gas phase system later on, a foam detection alarm device should be installed at the top (and the feed rate should also be adjusted accordingly based on the actual process conditions). Thank you!
There are no manholes; moreover, the steel plates need support. The drawings are too simple, and it is also necessary to review the design specifications for the gas-liquid separator. . . .
