The impact of large filler volume on the desulfurization system
Thread Content
Hey everyone! Is it true that the larger the filler volume, the better? Why? How should the filler volume be calculated!
This way of asking is highly unprofessional. What does it mean to have a large filler volume? Is the tower tall or is it thick? It’s completely different.
For example, if the calculated volume is 200 m3 but 400 m3 is used in the result, does this have any impact on the system?

With the tower diameter remaining unchanged, increasing the tower height: 1) The separation efficiency will not decrease; it is uncertain by how much it will increase, and calculations are required ； 2) The tower’s resistance basically doubles. 2. With the tower height remaining unchanged, the tower diameter has been increased: 1) Production has increased ； 2) If production is not increased, the operational performance is very likely to become poor.
Thank you! I am referring to the first scenario: the tower diameter has already been determined based on the gas volume and flow rate, so the tower height is increased. Does it have no impact on the separation effect? Is it mainly to increase resistance?
The moderator explained it very well. The user who posted the question is probably a recent graduate and doesn’t fully understand the impact of the packing height on separation efficiency. Separation efficiency is related to the mass transfer and heat transfer area; the larger this area, the better the separation effect. Increasing the packing height is beneficial for separation.
