Gerlach Continental Oil Company Post Office Box 605 West Lake, Louisiana 70669 Dear Mr. Gerlach: Attached is the preliminary design for the removal of acetylene from an hydrous hydrogen chloride with Union Carbide "Columbia" Activated Carbon. This should be satisfactory for costing purposes. However, if you have further comments or questions at this stage, please contact Greg Hales or me. Should the project appear to be economically attractive, there are several degrees of freedom to work from in designing the final system for your plant. Greg or I can go into the details with you at that time. However, some comments now may provide a basis to work from later: 1. If the hydrogen chloride must remain dry at all times, the regeneration gas must be dry. Other than this any acetylene, free or other contaminant free inert gas will suffice. 2. The direction of flow rate, pressure and temperature all have a bearing on the precise regeneration conditions. 3. Adsorption time, carbon particle size, bed geometry and other features can be modified to meet such conditions as 6P re quirements, use of existing vessels, etc. Best wishes on your project. Very t.ruly yours jUCJy Kenneth J. Gustafson Southwestern Region Sales Manager KJG/ear Att. P. S. Drying ethylene dichloride with LINDE Molecular Sieves is very reliable and economical. When it is only small quantities of water involved, I believe a LINDE Molecular Sieve dryer would be more economical on both an investment and operating cost basis than other means of buying, such as distillation. Please let us know if your interest is renewed in this subject.
