The solvent is heptane & intention to run suction/ discharge side at atmospheric/0.5 bar g. with a heptane ring pump; before speaking to Nutsche vendors some operational details ?

I was trying to figure-out how the pressures (both in the filterate receiver & the Nutsche itself) are controlled during the various stages of a filteration when using a liquid-ring compressor for subj.. Anyone with experience in this operation ?

In the controlled space, the expected concentrations for both oxygen & hydrogen are 0 - 10% with a max. of 2000mbar (abs) pressure.

I request inputs to help select reliable/durable oxygen- & hydrogen-concentration measuring instrument/s for use in a batch reactor operating at 150 deg. C..

A side-stream self-cleaning pressure filter does a very good job; u fit it & forget it. I have used it with satisfaction.

If in an existing installation for diesel pumping with subj. type pump the diesel is replaced with water, will there be a substantial difference in the discharge pressure ?

We have a horizontal tank for storing phosphorous trichloride; a very hazardous chemical that allows for only top entry & so we use a submersible pump with mech. seal. The afore mentioned mech. seal however often fails. Are seal-less/magnetic drive submersible pumps available ? Some reputed...

In blowing the filter cake in our Nutsche filter with nitrogen significant quantities of solvent (Isopropanol) are lost. Is there an established technology whereby both the gas & solvent can be recycled ?

In a batch process kettle with overhead condensors connected to single stage steam ejector for vacuum generation I would like to calculate how much xylene (the only low boiler) would be lost from the reactor at kettle vacuum of 150 mbar. & 110 deg. C. (ejector side vacuum 0 mbar). Any ideas...

Presently we are using a 4" Vortex flowmeter that is generating high error which the manufacturer says is due to oversizing of meter. The flow varies between 600 to 3000 Kg/hr.. Is there a meter that can cover this range accurately ?

Is it not possible to calculate the TDH knowing both suction & disch. pressures ? Would the difference between the two not be the TDH ?

Thanks Tstead but I made a small mistake in my post. I said I knew the flow but that was wrong. Actually I would like to calculate the flow knowing the suction & discharge pressures.
