Conservation definition

The fines content is arbitrarily defined as <10 mm material, instead of <6 mm as with coal. This conservative definition is more inclusive of flaky particles in d-RDF. A low fines content is desired for increased bulk density, improved material flow, and reduced dusting. However, as with coal, some fines are necessary to achieve a mix of suspension and on-the-grate combustion. Table II lists an average fines content somewhat lower than the 20 - 40 wt% range typical of stoker coal. Note that these measurements were taken on the as-produced pellets, and any abuse during transport, storage, and feeding will increase the fines in the fuel as fed to the boiler. However, the pellet mill output can be screened, and the screen underflow returned to the mill, as is done with animal feeds to reduce fines. 

Fig. 6 includes full-scale capacify dafa for 3, 4, and 6 in. caps at low pressure obtained by FRI and by Shell for 6 in. caps only (Fractionation Research, Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A., private communication). Both sets of data for 6 in. caps show a capacity deficit compared to the smaller caps however, the Shell data show approximately 80% of the capacity found by FRI. The difference may be caused by system properties or by the more conservative definition of flood point used by Shell. Data at higher pressure with the butane-isobutane system at the 4 ft diameter were also obtained by FRI (Fig. 8). 

The most conservative definition of vapor flooding capacity is the load for which tower pressure drop exhibits a sharp increase, signifying liquid buildup at some tray. It is, however, possible to operate the tower at somewhat higher load, perhaps 10% more. As the load is increased, reboiler pressure rises, allowing a semistable operation, albeit with reduced separating... 

This equation should be used in place of equation Eq. (2) and APfnfc is used in place of APf f in Eq. (3). Care should be taken to understand this correction. The pressure drop at flood is actually the same [continue to use Eqs. (2) and (3) to determine the predicted pressure drop at flood]. The correction is to get a correlating factor that gives a more conservative definition of allowable vapor velocity from Fig. 7. This correction gives a good fit to hydrocarbon systems.
