Simulation Helps Reduce Chlorine Concentration In Lab
Computer simulation helped reduce the chlorine concentration in a laboratory to minimal levels while avoiding the expense and disruption of testing alternate exhaust systems.
Workers throughout a wide range of chemical processing industries are becoming more conscious than ever before of discharges that, although they fall within acceptable safety limits, cause annoyance and potential discomfort. The approach of redesigning process equipment in order to eliminate the discharges at the source is the ideal solution in the case where the process is being overhauled for other reasons, but is otherwise often too costly to consider. The more practical approach is usually to retrofit an exhaust system to the existing equipment to remove as much of the contaminants as possible before they are circulated through the plant. This approach, however, also has its challenges.
