How Degasser Tower Removes Dissolved Gases?

A degasser tower is a type of vessel used in many industrial processes to remove unwanted gases, such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, from liquids such as water or chemicals. The tower is typically filled with packing material or trays, which increase the surface area available for gas-liquid contact, allowing the gases to be removed more effectively.

The tower works by introducing the liquid to be degassed at the top of the tower, where it flows downward through the packing material or trays. At the same time, a stream of gas, usually air or nitrogen, is introduced at the bottom of the tower and flows upward through the packing material or trays. As the gas rises through the liquid, the unwanted gases dissolved in the liquid are transferred to the gas phase and carried out of the tower with the gas stream.

The tower is designed to allow for efficient gas-liquid contact and to maximize the removal of unwanted gases. The specific design of the tower will depend on the specific application, including the type of liquid being degassed, the type of gas being used, and the desired level of degassing.



Degasser towers offer several advantages for removing unwanted gases from liquids in industrial processes. Some of the key advantages include:

  1. Improved Product Quality: The removal of unwanted gases such as oxygen or carbon dioxide can help to improve the quality of the final product. For example, in the production of beverages such as beer or soda, the removal of oxygen can help to reduce spoilage and improve the taste and shelf life of the product.

  2. Increased Efficiency: By removing unwanted gases from the liquid, the efficiency of the industrial process can be improved. For example, in a cooling water system, removing dissolved gases can help to reduce corrosion and fouling, which can increase the efficiency and lifespan of the equipment.

  3. Cost Savings: The use of a degasser tower can help to reduce the cost of treating and disposing of wastewater. By removing dissolved gases from the wastewater, the cost of treating the water can be reduced, and the amount of wastewater that needs to be disposed of can also be reduced.

  4. Environmental Benefits: Removing unwanted gases from the liquid can also have environmental benefits by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere. This can help to reduce the carbon footprint of the industrial process and support sustainable production practices.

Overall, the use of a degasser tower can provide a range of benefits for industrial processes, including improved product quality, increased efficiency, cost savings, and environmental benefits.

Reasons why sludge is not settling properly in a clarifier!

Image
 Why sludge not settling in clarifier? There could be several reasons why sludge is not settling properly in a clarifier. Here are some possible explanations: High hydraulic or organic loading: If the clarifier is receiving a high volume of wastewater or if the wastewater has a high concentration of organic matter, it can overwhelm the settling capacity of the clarifier. The excessive flow or high organic load can disrupt the settling process and prevent the sludge from settling effectively. Hydraulic or design issues: Improper hydraulic design or inadequate equipment sizing can lead to short-circuiting or dead zones within the clarifier. Short-circuiting occurs when the flow patterns allow particles to bypass the settling zone, while dead zones are areas where there is minimal or no flow. Both conditions can hinder the settling of sludge. High influent solids concentration: If the influent wastewater has a high concentration of suspended solids, it can result in a dense sludge blanket

  As per the Indian Standard for Drinking Water (IS 10500:2012), the following are the recommended parameters for safe and healthy drinking water in India: Microbial Parameters: Total coliform bacteria: No detectable coliforms per 100 mL Escherichia coli (E. coli): No detectable E. coli per 100 mL Faecal Streptococci: No detectable faecal streptococci per 100 mL Chemical Parameters: pH: 6.5 to 8.5 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Less than 500 milligrams per liter (mg/L Chloride: Less than 250 mg/L Nitrate: Less than 45 mg/L Fluoride: 0.6 to 1.5 mg/L Arsenic: Less than 0.01 mg/L Lead: Less than 0.01 mg/L 3.Physical Parameters: Turbidity: Less than 5 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) Color: No standard limit, but colorless or slightly colored water is preferable Odor: No standard limit, but no objectionable odor is preferable. It's worth noting that these parameters may vary depending on local or regional regulations and guidelines, and that water treatment facilities may have additi

Difference between MBR and SBR

Image
Difference between MBR and SBR   MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) and SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) are two different wastewater treatment technologies that are commonly used for treating and purifying wastewater. While both technologies employ biological processes for treatment, there are some key differences between MBR and SBR: Configuration: MBR: In an MBR system, the biological treatment and membrane filtration occur simultaneously. The membranes act as a physical barrier to separate the treated water from the biomass and solids. SBR: In an SBR system, the biological treatment occurs in a batch mode, meaning the treatment process occurs in a series of sequential steps. Each step includes a fill phase, react phase, settle phase, and decant phase. Filtration Method: MBR: MBRs utilize membrane filtration as the primary method for solid-liquid separation. The membrane modules contain fine pores that allow treated water to pass through while retaining suspended solids, bacteria, and other co
