Regarding the design of spray towers
Thread Content
Dear experts: First, it is necessary to deal with ethylene oxide gas (EO). The common process used is an acid-washing spray tower; this involves considerations such as the diameter of the spray tower, the height of the packing layer, the flow rate of the spraying liquid, and the size of the reaction tank. Are there any reference documents or books that can provide guidance on this? Please recommend some!
It depends on the amount of ethylene oxide gas you are handling. If you need to perform accurate calculations regarding absorption and mass transfer, you can refer to the \"Handbook of Chemical Process Design\", which contains the information you need. What you are referring to is a system that includes a packed tower, an absorption liquid tank, pumps, fans, and so on. If the volume is not large, you can consider using an absorption tower made of phenolic resin with a diameter of 800. The tower is 10 meters tall and has two layers of packing. A 4-cubic-meter circulating liquid tank can be considered for use below. The pump uses a stainless steel pump for circulation. When the concentration of the absorbent solution is high, you need to consider where to send the absorbent solution. By this calculation, this is a small engineering project; it’s not just a matter of the tower. It needs to be considered together.
