particulate concentraion

particulate concentraion

particulate concentraion

(OP)
We pump acetone/water mixture at 100 gpm to an atmospheric tank and the vent gases from here goes to an absorber through a blower. To decrease pumping time, we need to increase the flow to 135 gpm. For the current system, I found inlet concentration using a gas analyser and inlet velocity to calculate water required to scrub the gas.

Can someone please tell me how to find concentration of acetone thhrough the vent gas at a pumping rate of 135 gpm.

At any flow rate, acetone conc in the liquid willl be 1200ppm(wt). Based on this I can get mass rate of acetone and water.
If I use boyle's law, PV = constant and using partial pressure of acetone, I can get volume of acetone in the vent gas. I am kinda confused if this calculations are right.

Thank you

Koshy
