Hello everyone,
i want to know what are the scenarios that could result in adsorption beds uprising or crushing and collapsing ?
I have a scenario of reverse flow with 85 barg to a mercury removal bed operating @ 70-78 barg, what are the damages that could result from this differential pressure ? also the flow reverse is a three phase flow which is diffrent from the feed inlet to the bed.
Attached is the mercury bed, the reverse flow will be from the bed's outlet to the inlet.
Thank you for the help.
