Air vs. Steam Atomization Part 9 – Economics (Atomizing Air vs. Atomizing Steam Production)

Posted on October 13th, 2017 by David W. Spitzer, P.E. in Chemical Manufacturing Excellence

Previous posts discussed incineration, atomization, stack losses and plant air production. From previous discussion, atomizing approximately 210 lb/min of liquid waste would require approximately 70 lb/min of atomization gas, which corresponds to 4200 lb/hr of steam or 933 cfm (70 lb/min / 0.075 lb/ft3) of atomizing air.

Air vs. Steam Atomization Part 5 – Compressor Capacity

Posted on August 17th, 2017 by David W. Spitzer, P.E. in Chemical Manufacturing Excellence

Previous posts discussed the incineration and atomization processes. The fact that the compressor currently unloads indicates that there is additional air compressor capacity that is currently not being used. Continue reading “Air vs. Steam Atomization Part 5 – Compressor Capacity” »
