Reaction time after adjustment of the atmospheric pressure tower
Thread Content
Let’s discuss whether there is a rough calculation formula for determining the time at which the cooled reflux returns to the side streams of a atmospheric pressure column after adjustments have been made. For example, can we calculate the time at which the fluid reaches the three side stream outlets in a column with 50 trays, located at levels 35, 25, and 15?
This is related to many factors such as the operational load and the extent of adjustments made. I don’t think using formulas is a reliable approach; it’s better to observe more closely during production, for example, to see how long it takes for the temperatures at various points in the reflux tower to change after an adjustment is made.
Adjust the parameter to estimate a reaction time of 5–30 minutes
It’s related to many factors such as the operational load and the extent of adjustment you make, right?
