Design & Supply of the Venturi Perchloric Acid Exhaust System-MVT System
For both Colleges; Engineering and Petroleum & College of Science
Perchloric Exhaust Systems (900CFM, 2WC’’) was supplied, configured as one wash down venturi with 2 fans attached. (1 operational + 1 standby) with Automatic factory programmed changeover controller.
Extracting perchloric Acid
HClO4 Perchloric acid is clear liquid that has no odor. Solutions below 73% at room temperature are strong non-oxidizing acids. The problem of exhausting perchloric acid vapors is that the vapors condense and then crystallize in the exhaust system. The crystallized, or dried, perchloric acid is very unstable, such that vibration or shock waves to the duct and exhaust fans system can result in an explosion. This vibration, caused by fan operation or general maintenance, may cause the crystals within the system to dislodge and cause the explosion. Perchloric acid, though, can be neutralized with water and flushed from the exhaust system.
