The solution is not ideal, but I have modeled the operation in Aspen plus and component Y in top distillate is ~0.5% w/w.

Feed Details : Component X : 80% ( Boiling point : 105 deg.C) Component Y : 20% ( Boiling point : 256 deg.C) Feed Rate : 600 kg/hr Heating medium : Steam @ 145 deg.C operating condition : 50 Torr, 90 deg.C ( Based on Aspen Flash Simulation). Desired Outcome : TO remove 99% of component X...

I have a system, in which Reactor vent is connected to scrubber. Due to which reactor is under slight vacuum, ~400 mmWC Solid is being charged to the reactor at a very low rate manually. Is there any way to calculate approximate amount of solid which will get carryover to scrubber due to...

You can say that the agitator reaches upto 96% of the reactor height( or depth). Sampling from different points of the mix is not possible due to safety concerns. The original mass of pure water is known (precisely). Now, is there any correlation or formula to check settling velocity in a...

I have ~50% slurry mass in a reactor with (4 PBT + 4PBT) agitator. Agitator is rotating at 94 RPM. To analyze reaction mass we are sending two samples at a time from bottom of the reactor. There is significant analysis deviations in these two samples. I feel that the sample is not...
