A storage tank is purged continuously with a stream of nitrogen. The purgestream leaving the tank is saturated with the product stored in the tank. A majorpart of the product lost in the purge could be recovered by installing a scrubbingtower to absorb the product in a solvent. The solution from the tower could befed to a stage in the production process, and the product and solvent recoveredwithout significant additional cost. A preliminary design of the purge recoverysystem has been made. It would consist of:1. A small tower 0.5 m diameter, 4 m high, packed with 25 mm ceramic saddles, packed height 3 m.2. A small storage tank for the solution, 5 m3 capacity.3. The necessary pipe work, pump, and instrumentation. All materials of construction, carbon steel. Using the following data, evaluate whether it would be economical to install therecovery system:1. cost of product £5 per kg,2. cost of solvent 20 p/kg,3. additional solvent make-up 10 kg/d,4. current loss of product 0.7 kg/h,5. anticipated recovery of product 80 per cent,6. additional service(utility) costs, negligible. Other operating costs will be insignificant.
