Dr Nicolas,

Thank you for your response.

Further to this query, are there any limitations in terms of momentum at the inlet and outlet nozzles of a mercury removal unit? In the past, 6000 Pa has been used as a limit but are there any strict guideline to this to protect the inlet distributor?

Kind regards

For the non-regenerable mercury removal unit, the maximum allowable superficial velocity to prevent bed fluidisation is:

0.5 – 1.0 ft/s (0.15 – 0.30 m/s)

This figure comes from a dedicated MRU design calculator resource, which specifies this superficial gas velocity range as the design limit specifically to prevent fluidisation of the fixed adsorbent bed.

Please make sure to vet the provided figure in the design considerations section of the calculator page.

I hope this answers your question. 

Best regards
