Fatty Acid Flash Separation Tank

Fatty Acid Flash Separation Tank Function and Working Method

The Fatty Acid Flash Separation Tank operates by introducing high - pressure fatty acids into a low - pressure environment within the tank. When the fatty acids enter the tank, the sudden drop in pressure causes their boiling point to decrease. Since the temperature of the fatty acids is higher than the new boiling point at the reduced pressure, the water content quickly boils and vaporizes. This process results in the separation of gases from the liquid fatty acids.

Fatty Acid Flash Separation Tank Material and Construction

Constructed from 00Cr17Ni14Mo2 stainless steel, the Fatty Acid Flash Separation Tank combines excellent corrosion resistance with high - temperature strength. This material choice ensures that the tank can withstand the rigorous conditions of continuous operation, including exposure to high - temperature fatty acids and steam.
