Pressure Drop in Countercurrent Moving Bed with Radial Distribution of Particle Size

Study of Pressure Drop in the 2D Spouted Bed with Conical Base of Binary Particle Mixtures: Effects of Particle Size and Density

In this study, the pressure drop for the binary mixtures of particles differing in size and density in a pseudo-2D spouted bed was experimentally studied. A binary mixture of solid particles including sand, Gypsum, and polyurethane was used in the experimental setup. Effects of static bed height, cone angle, particles diameter, and a particles weight fraction on the bed pressure drop were e...

Mean Drop Size and Drop Size Distribution in a Hanson Mixer-Settler Extraction Column

The Prediction of Pressure Drop and Flow Distribution in Packed Bed Filters

A CFD technique for predicting the performance of axisymmetric packed bed filters has been developed. The effect on the pressure drop of a non-uniform voidage distribution within the filter bed has been modelled. A radial voidage distribution was derived from a predictive model based on a modified Mueller equation. The pressure loss through the bed was calculated from the Ergun equation, using ...

Tracking particle size distributions in a moving bed biofilm membrane reactor for treatment of municipal wastewater.

A study has been conducted to investigate the effect of loading rates on membrane fouling in a moving bed biofilm membrane reactor process for municipal wastewater treatment, especially analysing the fate of submicron colloidal particles and their influence on membrane fouling. Two operating conditions defined as low and high organic loading rates were tested where the development and fate of t...

Influence of Particle Size and Pressure Drop in Cake Filtration Process on Removal of Suspended Solids in Anaerobically Digested Palm Oil Mill Effluent

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) poses a great threat to the environment. However, it contains valuable resources such as energy, water and nutrients that could be recovered for sustainable development. Currently, anaerobic digester has been employed to recover the energy potential in POME. However, the presence of suspended solids in the digestate hinders the downstream nutrients recovery process...
