Hi Folks,

Any tips/references on how to calculate purge rate for small scale test rig will be much appreciated(consists of receiver tank,high pressure reservoir,gas expander,test section,intermediate low tempereature pressure tank) ?

RE: Purge rate

What are you purging (e.g., are you trying to get rid of air prior to introducing flamable gas, or trying to maintain a known atmosphere for maintenenace)?  What kind of purge are you trying to do (e.g. a clearing purge has a different design than a dilution purge)?

Hi Zdas04

2 reasons for purging:

*Either the gas is to be replaced.(Flamable gas consisting from 80-90% of methane,5-10% CO2,2-5% N2)

*depressurise and dismantle parts of the test rig

It is clearing purge.

RE: Purge rate


Chapter 7 of Chemical Process Safety: Fundamentals with applications by Crowl & Louvar (Prentice Hall) describes several purging procedures.

25362,

Can you please send me some link to review chapter 7 of this book?

25362,

I need to calculate purge rate, not look for purge procedures. If book which you recommended only describes purge procedures,then it is not what I needed,

Thanks

RE: Purge rate


Idontknowit, every procedure is exemplified with a calculation.
