Design of the main stripping tower for sulfur recovery
Thread Content
I am responsible for the design of the main stripping tower for sulfur recovery. The teacher specified a design pressure of 0.83 MPa and a design temperature of 187°C. The upper section of this tower is equipped with Packer rings as packing, while the lower section features 49 floating valve trays. I would like to know how this stripping tower should be designed; I have no idea at all. The main issue is that I’m not sure whether it should be a packed tower or a tray tower
It’s a composite tower; generally, such a tower has cold and hot feed streams. Above the cold feed stream, there is a random packing, while below it there are trays. Are you working on process simulation or on the design of the internal components?
Sorry for the typing mistake; generally, this tower has cold and hot feed streams – the cold feed enters at the top of the tower, while the hot feed enters in the upper middle section. Above the hot feed stream, there are random-packed fillers, and below that are tray sections.
