(OP)
i refered to several pattern of process producing phthalic anhydride through oxidation of o-xylene and i found out that after seperation of gases and liquid phthalic anhydride, the bottom product of switch condenser (Phthalic anhydride) will be stored in solid phase in a storage tank befare futher seperation in distillation column. do anyone have idea on the purpose of that storage tank since this process is an continuous process.





RE: looking for opinion
it may because the process need certain amount of phthalic anhydride to continue the process, thus product from switch condenser will be store before go to distillate column to avoid drying
