Medium: sulfuric acid. The flow of liquid must not be interrupted during operation. The sulfuric acid concentration should be above 95%. At startup, the outlet should be fully open while the inlet is preferably kept slightly open, as this helps to prevent the formation of a liquid ring
I’m not an expert, but I’d like to discuss this: currently, there is a trend toward replacing liquid ring chlorine compressors with smaller turbines. The original poster might want to pay more attention to this issue, as liquid ring chlorine compressors have very high energy consumption
Indeed, current liquid ring chlorine compressors have very high energy consumption, and the initial investment required is also substantial. Small turbines are a good option; however, if the company has the funds, it can opt for 3K models instead.
Currently, there are two types of chlorine delivery equipment: one is the liquid ring pump, and the other is the centrifugal compressor. Vane pumps have modest requirements regarding the moisture content of chlorine gas, but they consume a lot of energy, have a low flow rate, and produce low pressure at the outlet; they are suitable for transporting chlorine gas in production facilities with an alkali production capacity of less than 50,000 tons per year. Centrifugal compressors have advantages such as high flow rate, high discharge pressure, stable operation, and the ability to improve the working environment
Personally, I think a liquid ring chlorine compressor is better, because 1. it offers greater operational flexibility. 2. Relatively durable. 3. The device is easy to operate
With different opinions from various sectors, as times change and society develops, we shouldn’t stop making progress just because something is simple to operate. Besides, liquid ring pumps consume too much electricity
The opinions from the 5th floor are quite practical; I tend to agree with them
1. Control the sulfuric acid concentration properly. 2. The mechanical seal protection nitrogen is kept in the on position to prevent damage to the mechanical seal.
I disagree; simple designs are generally reliable, but energy consumption is a major issue. It would be best to have designs that are both simple and energy-efficient... The chemical equipment industry needs to make more efforts!!!
