Question: When designing a reactor, do the users provide the process conditions?
Thread Content
Dear experts: I have a question: when designing a reaction vessel, do the process conditions usually be provided by the user? I read it in a book; I’m not sure if that’s the case I have just started working with chemical engineering design. Thank you!
I guess you’re in the equipment field. If you are from the equipment field, the process team will provide you with a table of equipment specifications. The content includes the physical properties of the materials, the operating conditions within the equipment, whether there are jackets or coiled tubes, mixing mechanisms, catalysts, safety features for starting up, measures to prevent vortex formation, as well as the size of various pipe connections, flange standards, the installation environment, including any special requirements regarding supports, insulation, group mounting, and the weight of suspension rods. If there are any special requirements, the processes will also be specified. And a schematic with the pipe outlet will be provided. I’m majoring in arts and crafts; that’s how I put it. Every design institute has its own set of equipment conditions. But I think the content is pretty much the same.
It’s inevitable – temperature, pressure, medium... and so on. If I don’t tell you, how can I design it! ?
The user or technology provider specifies the process parameter conditions, while the equipment selection and design criteria are determined in accordance with standards and experience.
