Process Equipment and Plant Design
The operating velocity in the absorption tower is usually 40-50% of the flooding velocity. Packed absorption towers are normally designed for a pressure drop of about __________ mm of water column per metre height of packing.
In differential (simple) distillation, the vapour is removed as soon as it is formed without appreciable condensation
In flash (equilibrium) distillation, a definite fraction of liquid is vaporised in such a way that the evolved vapour & residual liquids are in equilibrium with each other
Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes
Distillation under vacuum is a substitute for steam distillation
