[faheem26]

Dear All,

I am looking for the answer of following two questions :

1.Why can’t Pump be used for gases?

2. Why process side is taken in Tube Side when Vertical Thermosiphon Reboilers are used?

Thanks & Regards,

for question 2. Normally that fluid is taken inside the tubes which is fouling as tubes inside can be cleaned easily than the outside.

Gases causes pump seal leak while pumping it which result in leakage of gases to the atmosphere which is unsafe, so pump is not used for gases compressors are used instead.
