Hi Mates,
As a chemical engineer who is not good in chemistry I have a question related to Henry's law. In a closed vessel which contains water at 70% vessel volume, CO2 gas is added to reach a pressure of 90 psig to produce carbonic acid used elsewhere in the process. After carbonic acid is...
Hello Everyone,
I have sized a filter press for dewatering slurry coming from a precipitation tank. I have the following operating steps with my filter press:
1) Filtration
2) Air blow (to dry cake)
3) Opening plates and cake dump
4) Plates spray clean
5) Closing plates
I need to know the...
Good Day Everyone,
I have a questions about using oil/gas absorber tower reflux water to make carbonic acid. We tried dissolving CO2 in the reflux water using pinpoint carbonator and it did not work quite well. We also considered membrane contactors to dissolve CO2 for this purpose, however due...
Dear members,
I have been given an assignment to design a process for the following water condition and requirements. I don't have much experience in this field so any help about the overall process and equipment required would be highly appreciated.
Wastewater to be treated includes:
Average...
Hello everyone,
I am asked to design a process to remove "suspended solids" and "oil" from the waste stream of a filtration unit. I have been recommended to use a clarifier followed by a filter press to remove suspended solids. First I want to know if this is applicable for that purpose.
On...
Hello guys,
My manager asked me to provide him with a preliminary design (for now) and a detailed design (later) for
a vacuum decarbonator to reduce the total alkalinity of source water. I went through so many industrial and academic references but I couldn't find any material with detailed...
Hi guys,
In my project, I need to figure out which heat exchanger to be used in a process based on heat transfer coefficient. I have been told to simulate the process in HYSYS using different types of heat exchangers (e.g. shell & tube, plate heat exchangers, double pipe, etc.) to find out...
