Heavy Hydrocarbon Adsorption on Activated Carbon: Bed Sizing and Pressure Drop Calculation

[breizh]

To support your work.

Famous equation for pressure drop is Ergun equation. (Doc attached)

Note: You should know how expensive it is to dispose AC in China. 

 

Note 2: Be aware of self-ignition of AC bed saturated with organics

 

BTW, we have no indication about the flowrates, are we talking about gas or liquid, what are your heavy hydrocarbons?

 

With so little information no meaningful answer.

 

EDIT:

Because you are in China, talk to the reference underneath:

The document you gave me does not include any examples of adsorption calculations

[breizh]

are you sure? you got a excel sheet and document about design. Should suffice?

guoyinyanliner,

 

Try this, copy/paste your original post into Google AI, Claude, or ChatGPT, and look what it says.  I modified your OP slightly to be more precise, "Heavy Hydrocarbon Adsorption on Activated Carbon: show me detailed calculations for Bed height and diameter Sizing and Pressure Drop Calculation."  If you give AI your data it will size it for you.

 

Just remember, AI can make mistakes!
