Packed tower size
Thread Content
I have now calculated for a distillation column; 6 theoretical plates are sufficient to achieve the desired result. I plan to design it as a packed column with feeding at the middle of the column, and it is estimated that packing up to two meters high will be sufficient. The inner diameter of the column is estimated to be 500 mm, while the height of the column body is 4.7 meters. This includes 800 mm for the top section of the tower, 1000 mm for the upper packing section, 700 mm for the intermediate feeding section, 1000 mm for the lower packing section, and 12,000 mm for the tower bottom. The tower seems a bit tall; could it be that there is an error in the understanding of the dimensions or layout of the internal components of the tower? I would appreciate your advice.
Reactor bottom 12000mm? ? You must have typed it wrong. . .
Sorry, I made a mistake; it’s 1200mm
Based on this calculation, the height of the cylinder is 4.7 meters. Is that high? Not high.
This tower is quite low, right? How could it be tall?
