what is the difference between absorber and scrubbers
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / verma d k
absorber a process equipment are used to remove one or
more gaseous component from gaseous mixture by using
suitable type solvent mostly present in lessr quantity.
Scrubber are basically pollution control equipment used to
scrub out air pollutant ( mainly particultes, and acid
gases) from exhaust system.
Mechanism of Scrubber: inetial impaction or diffusion
method mostly and lesser use of chemical affinity.
Mechanism of absorber: Chemical affinity

Answer / pafl
Absorber is used mostly for removal of only gaseous component from gaseous stream using suitable solvent which then is regenerated while scrubber is used to remove pollutant from outgoing gases mostly pollutants are gases (acid gases), particulate, dust etc. while there is no necessary regeneration of solvent in scrubber other assembly is similar in both absorber and scubber

Answer / nag
absorber: which seperates the particles based on the
affinity between particles and stationary absorbent.
scrubber: which seperates the heavier particles based on
the velocity principle. when ever heavy particles collides
with scrubber inclined surface, velocity will become zero.

Question 81 - (a) In natural gas pipe sizing, the length of the pipe from the gas source metre to the farthest appliances is 60 feet. The maximum capacities for typical metallic pipes of 60 feet in length are : 66 cubic feet per hour for pipe size of 0.5 inches; 138 cubic feet per hour for pipe size of 0.75 inches; 260 cubic feet per hour for pipe size of 1 inch. By using the longest run method : (i) Find the best pipe size needed for the capacity of 75 cubic feet per hour. (ii) Estimate the suitable range of capacities for the pipe size of 1 inch. (b) The maximum capacities for typical metallic pipes of 50 feet in length are : 73 cubic feet per hour for pipe size of 0.5 inches; 151 cubic feet per hour for pipe size of 0.75 inches; 285 cubic feet per hour for pipe size of 1 inch. By using the branch method find the best pipe size needed for the capacity of 75 cubic feet per hour when the length of the pipe from the gas source metre to the appliance is 52 feet.

CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE - EXAMPLE 2.3 : A 1.5 weight % aqueous salt solution is concentrated to 4 weight % in a single-effect evaporator. The feed rate to the evaporator is F = 7500 kg / h and the feed is at 85 degree Celsius. The evaporator operates at 1 bar. By assuming that only pure solvent of water exists in the form of vapor from the feed, calculate the flow rate of such vapor V.
