Packed Tower Design and Applications: Random and Structured Packings | PDF | English | 35M
This revised edition of Random Packings and Packed Towers: Design and Applications reflects the ongoing development of packed tower technology as demonstrated by the change in the title to Packed Towm Design and Applications: Random and Structured. Mass transfer tower packings and packed tower applications have been evolving since the beginning of the twentieth century. Packed towers are now used by all of the major industries involved in mass transfer operations. These industries include petroleum refining, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and environmental, to mention a few. Tower packings were initially used in small diameter towers in such applications as absorbing, stripping, distillation, and extraction. Packings are now being used in a 39.5-ft diameter flue gas desulfurization absorber, a 29.5-ft diameter vacuum distillation tower separating ethylbenzene/styrene, and a 46-ft diameter crude oil vacuum tower. The use of packing has gone beyond vacuum and atmospheric services into high pressure distillation applications such as demethanizers and depropanizers. Ralph Strigle has made major contributions to expanding packed tower technology into these areas.
In my years of association with Ralph, his insight and creativity have been a source of inspiration that more development is still possible.
Ralph's ability to combine his talent and experience with information from many sources and to present this information in a coherent manner is what makes this book unique and useful. The information presented provides good practical design methods based upon years of experience and will continue to be a useful guide to the practicing engineer and a sound introduction for students to the subject of packed tower mass transfer design.
