design of flash vessel
design of flash vessel
(OP)
I am dealing with a mixture of toulene(70%)+ wood rosin(20%)+ Turps (10%). Need to design a multi stage flash vessel to separate out toulene with other two components.
Flow rate: 2500 kg/hr, feed temp 150 deg C at atmospheric temp.
Toulene, B.P = 111 degC
Rosin, B.P = about 300 degC
Turpentine, B.P = 130-170 degC
At the moment, I am looking for multi stage flash vessels due to capital constraints. What % separation can be achieved? all suggestions are welcome.

RE: design of flash vessel
If you need all 3 components on spec, maybe you can consider a devided wall column...just an idea..
Maybe you can apply other separation technologies like crystalization or Extraction, I don't know..
