Hi Dcasto We are looking at a 1:1 reflux ratio.

Hi Chusker15 I will try and give answers to your question, but given that we are effectly starting from scratch most will be blank. Hot oil. We can heat it to 300 deg c. Two units on site one at 1.76MW other at 0.76MW. Good point about using bottoms for pre heating feed, but would we not...

Hi I am looking for help sizing a reboiler for a new project. 70 million L per year of pertol /diesel mix. Petrol over top, diesel as bottoms product. Not using a kettel. I have column reseved on the used market, 52 trays bubble cap 1 m diam x 15.540 m tall. I am thinking about...

Yes I agree with you djack, i think the centrifuge way is a while off yet! SO on with my distillation project. We will be looking at boil-ups of approx 7 t per hour. Many things to thing around like. Can our hot oil supply this and the other stills? Batch or continueous? Modify current or...

I knew I was not that mad with my idea;-)

Thanks for fast reply. On now with major (for us) disltilation project.

Hi New project just been dumped on me! Need budget costs and proposal by next week! Will be dealing with 70 million L per year of petrol / diesel mix. This comes about at the interface following product changes in line trasfers. We currently on site do not have that capacity so are looking...

Hi I wish it was garlic flavoured butter! We reprocess and distill all wastes containing solvents, from paints printing inks, vinaly products etc etc. So receive drums,IBC tankers of MIXED materials. Stream A is drums vaced into Vessel X. at ambient temp. Stream B is still base residue x...

Hi I need some urgent help on the following. We have a 18m3 7bar/full vac rated vessel that has a spring PRV of set pressure 125 psi and 175 l/min rated discharge. What I need advice on is calculating required discharge rate i.e. is our PRV correct. Material is introduced into the vessel via...

Hi We have a 18m3 7bar/full vac rated vessel that has a spring PRV of set pressure 125 psi and 175 l/min rated discharge. What I need advice on is calculating required discharge rate i.e. is our PRV correct. Material is introduced into the vessel via vacuum. The main problem comes from the...

3 points why we will NOT have a volcano! 1 In directly we already preform this task! We currently vac out from one tank into a road tanker. Road tanker drives to other side of site, and blows slurry up into tank. Project is to remove need for tanker i.e install pipeline. Therfore we already...

We are blowwing up into the base of the tank (12m high) i.e through the slurry. The tank is vented to atms, with plenty of open area. Only when the tank is nearing full would there be any possiblty on entrainment.

Hi I used a flow rate of 30,000 L/hr. Based on transfering approx 8,000 L in ~15 mins.

Hi I have been posed a question by my EH&S manger, so looking for quick reply! I have calculated pressure required to move a slurry along a line by pressurising a pressure rated tank, connected to a 6" line approx 100m long and 18m head, to a tank vented to atms. The MAX pressure I have...
