Guys,
I would like to discuss about different methods on reducing solids carryover in our reduction autoclave.
Particle size distribution: 100 to 350 US mesh.
Allowed particle settling time: 10 minutes.
Discharge pressure: 1500 kpag to an atmospheric tank
Discharge line size: 1-1/2".
Question is: methods to reduce solids carryover through discharge.
I have a few ideas: 1. increase settling time, 2. decrease discharge pressure, 3. design a riser at the discharge
Simple drawing is attached.
Regards,
