Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on methods to reduce the heat from diesel exhaust gases before they are introduced into a Sodium Hydroxide solution in a Rapid Pulse Carbonation prototype Reactor unit. The context includes technical considerations related to the operation of the reactor, which requires high temperatures and pressures, as well as the capture of CO2 gases.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes the need to cool exhaust gases from diesel burners before they enter a Sodium Hydroxide solution, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a zero emissions and zero waste system.
  • Another participant requests clarification on the process to provide a more informed response.
  • A later reply suggests using a counter-current heat exchanger to cool the exhaust gases while preheating the induction air for the burners, proposing a coaxial tube design for the exhaust and air input.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the best method to reduce exhaust gas heat, and multiple approaches are being discussed.

Contextual Notes

Details about the specific design and operational parameters of the cooling system, as well as the assumptions regarding the efficiency of proposed methods, are not fully explored.

I am building a Rapid Pulse Carbonation prototype Reactor unit, I am capturing the Steam form the process and passing it though a Plate and Tube condenser to produce water, also I will capture the CO2 gas from the heating system. How would I reduce the exhaust gas heat before I pass the exhaust gases into my Sodium Hydroxide solution

You'll have to explain what you are doing more clearly before anyone can give you a sensible answer .
 
The carbonisation reactor needs to be heated to 500C at a pressure of 10 bar...the system is zero emmissions and zero waste..to heat the reactor to the 500C i need to use either 1 or 2 diesel burners ...but i want to capture the CO2 gases which are hot...these exchaust gases need to go to a sodium hydroxide tank which captures the CO2 and converts to sodium bicarbonate ...i need to cool the gases before they enter the sodium hydroxide solution...the exchaust pipe may be around 3" / 75mm dia what cooling chamber would i need ..keeping in mind that the housing for this RPC system is 6mt x 2.4mt

Use a counter-current heat exchanger to cool the exhaust by preheating the induction air to the burners. Consider a coaxial tube for the exhaust and air input.
