hi all,
I sometimes wonder abt the overemphasis on Seal level in the Reboiler Seal pot. Here the reboiling medium is propylene refrigerant vapor. the reboiling is perfect even without the level in the seal pot. LT and LG are also counter checked. And never faced the problem of hot vapor...
Hi Everyone,
Some of the PSV's vents provided in Distillation Towers are routed to Atmosphere (if they pop up), not to flare as done normally. This is the case in most of Lighter hydrocarbons handling equipments like in Deethaniser and Ethylene tower. why cant we put them into flare? .IS...
Hi Everyone,
I have this problem of DP across the filter increasing.We are using Sulphuric acid to dry the Chlorine in a Drying tower (Packed bottom and Tray top). In the downstream , we have a Dry Chlorine Filter( 5 no of candle filters) to remove the carry over sulphuric acid.Nowdays the...

Hi Everyone,
We have a centrifugal compressor (4 stage)for chlorine service.it has a electronic Anti-surge
controller which takes inputs from discharge pressure and flow to calculate the surge flow.Can anyone tell me
how to calculate this flow.Any help will be...
hi gus,
One more question.This is about nickel corrion at high temperatures.In chlor akali plants,sugar is used as a oxidation agent to reduce the nickel corrosion.Does anybody have details on this?
