In last post we learned about one type of sulfur removal which is using iron sponge unit. Brief review, iron sponge is economically applied for gas containing small concentration of hydrogen sulfide, usually below 300 ppm. Iron sponge unit can not be used to remove carbon dioxide.
In this post, I want to continue the topic about iron sponge unit. More specifically about how to preliminary size iron sponge unit.
At least there are four parameters that we want to know in sizing iron sponge units:
- Minimum diameter of iron sponge vessel
- Maximum diameter of iron sponge vessel
- Required bed height
- Quantity of iron sponge
- Bed life of iron sponge between change out
Vessel Diameter
Why do we need to know minimum diameter of iron sponge vessel? Read More
