Crystallizer Selection And Design


Crystallizer Design Procedure:

        The following steps are outlined for the design of a crystallizer of the Forced Circulation (FC) type. Although these calculations are limited to that style, the procedure has general application to other types of equipment.
  • Choose the type of crystallizer that best meets the requirements for (a) product size, (b) product quality, (c) process economics, and (d) scale of operation. See Table 1 for a list of the general characteristics of crystallization equipment.

  • Make a material balance, heat balance, and flow sheet. 

  • Decide what retention time is required to make the required product, (a) by experience, and (b) from growth and nucleation rate data.

  • Size the body on the basis of the controlling volume required for crystal retention with due consideration for the minimum cross-section required for vapor (evaporation) release.

  • Size the heat-transfer surface (for evaporative types) and the recirculation rate. 

  • Size the condenser and vapor pipe, and entrainment separators (for evaporative types).

  • Select the vacuum equipment (for vacuum types). 

  • Select the circulating pump or agitator. 

  • Select the slurry, feed, condensate, and related pumps. 

  • Specify the mechanical requirements and construction codes (such as ASME, UPV Section VIII) required.

    The process of crystallization is divided into two stages that are primary nucleation and secondary nucleation where primary nucleation helps in the growth of new crystals and secondary nucleation is the main stage of crystal growth that ultimately leads to the crystals’ mass production.

    An evaporator is a processing machine/device used to convert liquid chemicals such as water into vapors or gaseous forms. The evaporator is a chemical processing machine used by various industries for different types of chemical processing.

    Crystalizer has the ability to perform Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) that helps not waste or expel any liquid. The process of crystallization is divided into two stages that are primary nucleation and secondary nucleation where primary nucleation helps in the growth of new crystals and secondary nucleation is the main stage of crystal growth that ultimately leads to the crystals’ mass production.

Sizing Of A Rotary Dryer

Image
        Rotary dryers , called the “workhorse of chemical dryers” , belong to the most widely used class of continuous dryers in process industries. These dryers are suitable for relatively free-flowing, non-sticky and granular materials; for example, almost all types of crystals after crystallization and washing. Typical applications of rotary dryers are in drying o table salt, sodium sulphate, ammonium sulphate, and many other salts, drying of sand, minerals, organic solids, polymer resin beads, to mention a few. A rotary dryer consists of a slowly rotating slightly inclined cylindrical shell fed with the moist solid at the upper end. The material flows along the rotating shell, gets dried and leaves the dryer at the lower end.          It is difficult, if not impossible, to design a rotary dryer on the basis of fundamental principles only. The available design correlations are a few in number and may not prove to be satisfacto...

Cooling Tower Design Calculations - Height of Packing & Air Flow Rate

Image
Problem Statement & Given Data: Warm water at 45°C is to be cooled to 30°C by countercurrent contact with air in a tower packed with wood slats. The inlet air has a dry-bulb temperature of 31°C and a wet-bulb temperature of 22°C. The mass flow rate of water is 6000 kg/m 2 .h and that of air is 1.4 times the minimum. The individual gas-phase mass transfer coefficient is k Y’ a = 6000 kg/m 3 .h.∆Y’. The volumetric water-side heat transfer coefficient is given by h L a = 0.059 x L 0.51 x G S , in kcal/m 3 .h.K, where L and G S are mass low rates of water and air (dry basis). Determine (a) the dry air flow rate to be used, (b) the height of packing. Solution: (a)                                                Inlet air: T G = 31°C; T W = 22°C = T as                             ...
