The function of a swirl separator in the circulating hydrogen of the hydrodesulfurization tower
Thread Content
Does anyone know the principle behind installing a cyclone separator in a desulfurization tower? Its function is to reduce hydrocarbon losses and prevent the amine solution from becoming emulsified with hydrocarbons. Could you explain how the principle works?
It should work on a principle similar to that of a cyclone separator: the airflow enters tangentially, rotates inside the device, and under the effect of centrifugal force, the heavier components accumulate on the wall of the device and flow downward due to gravity, while the gas is discharged from the top.
Have you used them before? Please recommend some manufacturers that produce cyclone separators for desulfurization towers!
Our unit utilizes the technology from East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai
Which is the manufacturer? Could you please recommend one? Thank you
A cyclone separator is installed primarily to improve gas-liquid separation. However, it is not possible to verify the separation efficiency using a cyclone separator, because the effectiveness of the wire mesh demister is unknown, making a comparative verification impossible.
Centrifugal force is used to separate the heavy components from the light components; thereafter, under the effect of gravity, the heavy components settle while the light components rise (flowing out from the top)
Can a cyclone separate amine solution? The particle size of the amine solution entrained is generally less than 5 microns, while the particle size separation achieved by cyclones is usually around 10 microns. Is this sufficient? It has no effect at all. Now, coagulators are used to remove amine from the liquid
