Packed tower
Thread Content
What is the impact of excessive operating pressure in a packed tower on the treatment efficiency?
If it is an absorption tower, it will reduce the residence time of air inside the tower, resulting in incomplete adsorption of harmful substances such as acidic gases, and thus the emissions failing to meet the standards
For different types of liquid materials, the impacts vary
Packed tower types have a wide range of applications; the packing varies, and the process requirements also differ. If high air pressure affects the efficiency of the processing, then there is definitely a problem; in severe cases, it can lead to serious accidents. So, let’s not discuss such extreme issues; it is essential to follow the process parameters specified in the operating procedures. Operating under overpressure is a violation of regulations. A device must operate within a certain design range; going outside that range will cause problems. For reference.
If the pressure at the bottom of the tower increases during operation, it may be due to damaged packing, accumulation of liquid in the packing, or flooding inside the tower, resulting in abnormal operation.
A moderate excess of pressure is not a major issue; however, when the pressure at the bottom of the tower becomes high, it is necessary to rebalance the entire system. Of course, if the pressure rises even further, problems such as flooding and tower overpressure can occur, and at that point the operation can no longer be carried out under viable production conditions
I’ve learned it! :lol:lol:lol
