Analysis and design of PSA absorption towers
Thread Content
Is analytical design required for PSA absorption towers?
It is necessary; usually, multiple units work together and are subjected to alternating loads, so fatigue analysis and design are required.
It is necessary; generally, about 10 absorption towers are used together
Carbon steel has a fatigue limit; if the equipment operates at the design pressure and the stress in all its parts does not exceed the material’s fatigue limit, then analytical design is not necessary.
In which standard can I find the basis for this?
It’s an even number; it doesn’t have to be 10 units.
