I am a graduate process engineer and I have been assigned a project to design a new vent condenser. I have vent gas from three drums and it is combined to feed the condenser in the tube side with brine as coolant in the shell side.
The type of condenser is a BEM (one tube pass). The condensed liquid will be transferred to a waste drum system and the vent gas is to go to flare. I found that the existing unit in my plant haa two systems for a condenser loop as seen in the attached file. I am not sure of the advantage and disadvantage of each system. Could you all share your experience or suggest some guidelines to me?
In my opinion, system 1 is better since it can be continuously drained to the waste drum without a need for a level transmitter in seal pot drum.
Thank you for your sharing.
