Owner BASF Ludwigshafen Engineering Office Voss & Kamb und Partner GmbH Construction Period 06/2013 In this component granulate will be dried. The nitrogen gas with an oxygen content of <4% will be transported in a circuit. In the vortex drier T900, the product will be dried to the specified water content (0.5-1.0% residual moisture). A rotating rake will distribute the humid granulate onto the sieve bottom. Gas from the bottom will be blown in to swirl the product and transport it to the back of the drier where it will be cooled. An overflow weir is located in front of the exit. This procedure guarantees the defined layer thicknesses on the fluid bed. The exhaust gas of the vortex drier T 900 will be transported to a washer after removing the fine contents. Specific characteristics of this calculation: • This is an existing component made in 1969 which had to be optimized for new conditions. • Therefore the first step was to examine whether the pressure increase could be realized without any changes or modifications. • This wasn’t possible so for the second step cost-effective improvement proposals had to be made. • To achieve this goal, all stiffening parts such as edges, corners, flanges, etc. had to be taken into account for the FEM calculation. • Sheet thicknesses only 2 mm.
