Nitrogen Purging
Nitrogen Purging
(OP)
hey guys,
I am pressure purging a couple of reactors that hold solvents like toluene and ethanol. I have read through the CEP 2001, feb issue article by George Kinsley. however the formulae for Pressure purge is incorrect. Does anyone have a better reference?
Also should I consider the Sweep purge formulae mentioned in the article?
Regards

RE: Nitrogen Purging
I don't know the referenced article, but I suggest you to take a look of NFPA 69, § E.2
Good luck!
