Problem of reduced size of absorption tower
Thread Content
The original plant already has a gas absorption unit; the absorbent used is water, and it’s a plate tower made of PVC/FRP material. Now, due to production needs, an additional smaller absorption tower is required, with a gas flow rate that is only 30% of that of the original unit. It’s important that the absorption efficiency remains unchanged. I would like to know how to reduce the dimensions of the existing absorption tower in a way that ensures effective absorption without any waste. Should the number of tray layers be changed, or the height or diameter? Please provide me with specific suggestions! Thank you!
What needs to be adjusted is the tower diameter; if the hydraulic conditions of the tower from the original design are available, the load on the vapor and liquid phases can be reduced to 30% of the original value, after which a manufacturer of tower internals can be consulted to carry out the calculations.
Haha, did you design your absorption towers yourselves? Did CH not give you the equipment diagrams? He said he would give us design drawings when talking to us.
