SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impact of vacuum conditions, specifically ~400 mmWC, on solid carryover from a reactor to a scrubber system. Participants emphasize the necessity of a diagram to clarify the system's configuration for accurate calculations. The conversation highlights the need for visual aids to facilitate understanding and problem-solving in engineering contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of reactor and scrubber system design
  • Familiarity with vacuum measurement units, specifically mmWC
  • Basic knowledge of solid handling in chemical processes
  • Ability to create and interpret engineering diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating solid carryover in vacuum systems
  • Learn about the effects of vacuum pressure on material transport
  • Study engineering diagram conventions for chemical process systems
  • Explore case studies on reactor-scrubber configurations
USEFUL FOR

Chemical engineers, process designers, and anyone involved in the operation or optimization of reactor and scrubber systems.

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 slight vacuum.

Your question is unclear. We need a diagram showing the system in order to help you.

EDIT: It does not need to be extremely detailed - a hand sketch should be good enough.
