    Calculating solvent losses in a batch vacuum distillation.

    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...

    Request for help on accurate steam flow measurement.

    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 ?
