Distribution Study

Tracerco have developed a technique, the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Distribution Study, which allows our customers to fully understand the distribution characteristics which are occurring within their packed bed distillation column. The study, which can be carried out using either a tracer or a non-tracer technique enables us to identify and quantify the extent of mal-distribution occurring within the column and thereby allows the vessels operation to be modified, if required, and optimised.

Features of the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Distribution Study

• A rapid and reliable method of characterising the process conditions that exist within a packed bed.
• Provides real-time data
• Can use a non intrusive technique (non-tracer)
• Tracer technique mimics material flow regime
• No sampling is required and no vessel preparation is required
• Rapid response available from Tracerco
• Able to link in with Computerised Fluid Dynamic CFD models to verify existing process conditions

Benefits of the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Distribution Study

• Confirms actual operating conditions within the packed bed (mal-distribution)
• Allows the customers to optimise performance of the packed bed
• Identifies if higher production through vessel is possible
• Enables customers to optimise maintenance strategy for the vessel
• Greater understanding of production rates relationship with carryover, pressure drop, etc.
