The issue of the acid water circulation rate in the quench tower
Thread Content
This is my first post; I would like to ask what an appropriate circulation rate for acidic water is when the exhaust volume is around 6,000 m³ If there are changes, how should the water volume be adjusted accordingly? Thank you
It should be calculated based on the components of the exhaust gas and the temperature of the water fed into the quench tower; the adjustment of water volume is primarily used to automatically control the temperature at the top of the tower. Excess water is sent back to the acid water stripping unit for harmless treatment.
Has it nothing to do with foam entrainment and the flooding line?
Is it a design issue or an operational issue? As long as the top temperature of the quench tower can be kept within the required range, the circulation rate should be as low as possible to minimize energy consumption.
