Dip Tube in Tank Reactor

Dip Tube in Tank Reactor

Dip Tube in Tank Reactor

(OP)
Hello,
I am working on a project about metal working (MWF). I need to install a dip tube to discharge HCl in my reactor, I have available nozzles at the bottom head of the reactor and at the top head.
I would like to know what are the advantages and disvantages of installing my dip pipe at the bottom or at the top.

Thanks

RE: Dip Tube in Tank Reactor

Dip tubes are always from the top.  Their purpose is to allow discharge into the bulk liquid without free fall.  If you feed into a bottom nozzle you would be discharging into bulk liquid without free fall.

A dip tube on bottom would cause complete loss of containment if it failed.  A vertical dip tube from the bottom would always hold liquid and create a hazard when working in the reactor.
