OR-13 Column Dumping Predictions

Traditional Research Idea

Expected Benefit to Members: For reactive relief scenarios, we are often asked to predict the hold up and dumping rate when a tower is shut down. This could be an add-on to existing tests at FRI by noting the running conditions in packed and trayed test and removing heat to the reboiler and measuring liquid level rise over time. In addition, use these tests to improve liquid hold-up correlations on trays and packing if this is not already done by this mechanism or some other test Present Situation and Proposed Research: None Proposed Internals and Test System: Unknown Estimated Unit Time: Unknown Estimated Additional Costs (Beyond Unit Time): Unknown Background and Discussion: None
