PROCEDURE FOR HUMIDATING A GAS CURRENCY ISSUED FOR METHANOL AND / OR AMMONIA PLANTS.

摘要

A process for humidifying a gas stream in a humidifier chamber by passing heated water downwardly through the humidifier and passing gas upwardly through the chamber to transfer water vapor to the gas stream. One or more portions of the water is removed at an intermediate stage in the chamber and the remaining portion of the water collected at the bottom is removed. The intermediate portion and final portion may have make-up water added thereto and the portions are reheated either separately or as a combined mixture. The process provides an improved economic method for humidification with good energy savings.
