Custom-made Vertical Scrubber for Acrylic Acid Separation

A custom-made vertical scrubber is designed to separate acrylic acid from a process gas flow with a maximum throughput of 60 Am3/h. The scrubber works based on a closed loop system that features tangential spray nozzles. The washing section is designed with half of the nozzles mounted co-currently and the other half counter-currently.

Features and Benefits

• Efficient separation of acrylic acid from process gas flow
• Low pressure loss
• No need for random or structured packing
• Equipped with a stainless steel 316 column, Siemens S7-1500 PLC in EX-P cabinet, integrated buffer, and a pH sensor
• Constructed with several spray arms to obtain a long spray path for thorough cleaning
• Equipped with four removable spray lines that have six tangential hollow cone spray nozzles and one tangential solid gel sprayer
• Agglomerator/droplet separator and wire mesh demister ensure the efficient removal of contaminants
• Uses process water for washing
• Centrifugal pump is suitable for ATEX zone II 2G Eex-d IIA T3

Long Spray Path for Thorough Cleaning

The washing section is designed with several spray arms that are mounted one after the other to provide a long spray path for thorough cleaning. The nozzles are mounted with an overlapping spray image on several spray pipes in succession, creating a very intensive cleaning system. This means that the contaminated gas cannot pass through the spray section without being moistened and cleaned.

Process Water Usage for Washing

Process water is used for washing, and the washing water is sprayed after each batch. The installation is equipped with a stainless steel 316 column, Siemens S7-1500 PLC in EX-P cabinet, integrated buffer, and a pH sensor to ensure efficient operation. The scrubber also features four removable spray lines that have six tangential hollow cone spray nozzles and one tangential solid gel sprayer, an agglomerator/droplet separator, and a wire mesh demister to ensure the efficient removal of contaminants.

Efficient and Comprehensive Installation Features

In summary, the custom-made vertical scrubber for acrylic acid separation is an efficient solution for separating acrylic acid from a process gas flow with a maximum throughput of 60 Am3/h. The scrubber is designed with several features and benefits, including low pressure loss, no need for random or structured packing, and thorough cleaning.
