Scrubber Design Guideline

Hello, I need to design following things, please guide me how to start

1. Scrubber

• Typical application is scrubbing of P13 ( Code name) form vapors coming from Melter.
• Vapors will be containing Moisture, Carry over Sebasic acid and P13.
• P13 may be scrubbed using Ricinolic acid. Its highly solluble in this fatty acid.

Name of Compound: Sebacic Acid
Vapor load from melting tank: 40% moisture
P-13 compound :1% max
Scrubbing Compound : Recinolic Acid
Temperatur : 150°C - 180°C
Pressure : Atmospheric
Volume : 3kl
Operation Continuous
Feed Rate to melting tank : 500 - 2000 kg/hr


2. SA Recovery Reactor

• Typical application is recovery of Sebasic acid from Sludge.
• Sludge contains 50-80% of Sebasic acid.

Name of Compound : S.A. Residue
Purity : 50% - 80% of Sebacic Acid
Material to recover : Sebacic Acid
Process : Extraction in water at 100°C and 5.6 pH then filtration
Solubility : 0.2% in hot water
Pressure : Atmospheric
Process Volume : 5 kl
Operation : Batch
Process Timing : 10 - 12 hrs
