Optimizing Processes with Engineering Fundamentals

Hi Everyone, Given the vast permutations of processes that exist so far in this industry and the relative infancy of our empirical understanding of them, I feel like an engineering perspective could really cut through the fat and allow individuals to make more effective and appropriate decisions when it comes to making process decisions. For example, I want to buy a condenser for solvent recovery. I want the unit to be able to recover 100 gallons / hour of ethanol (or hexane, or whatever)…what…

if you’ve got any additional data from the manual that came with your machine. such as how much cooling, or evaporator/HX surface areas, you might be able to math to the correct boiler temp.

i converted 45 kw over to BTU which comes out around 150,000. so im thinking of purchasing at least one that is around 200,000 to make up for the loss of efficiency if that makes any sense.

yep…and by adding that 30% margin, you don’t have to be too worried about hitting the same delta-T and flow rate the OEM intended. sounds like you got this.
