How Does Vacuum Affect Solid Carryover in a Reactor Vent and Scrubber System?

    Solid Vacuum
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the impact of slight vacuum (~400 mmWC) in a reactor vent connected to a scrubber system on solid carryover. The user seeks a method to calculate the approximate amount of solid that may carry over to the scrubber due to this vacuum. Participants note that the question lacks clarity and request a diagram of the system for better understanding. A simple hand sketch is suggested as sufficient for clarification. Accurate calculations depend on visual representation of the setup.

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.

Thread 'Ground coffee freshness question'

Somewhat separate from the coffee advice of “buy whole beans, grind fresh at home daily”, I'm looking to understand the factors that contribute to purchased ground coffee losing freshness after opening (oxygen, humidity, temperature, time, other?). I'm assuming oxidation is the main factor, assuming normal room temperature and mid-range humidity. It appears (I'm having trouble finding good info on this) that a high quality modern pre-ground coffee is packaged in a way that maintains...
