Description

Volstility Pilot Plant Mark III Fluorinator will be a double-chamber type vessel, each chamber 2-1/2ft. by 16in. o.d. separated by a 5 in. pipe 15 in. long. ASME flanged and dished heads will be used for the chamber tops and conical sections with a 60º apex angle for the chamber bottoms. A new furnace designed to maintain the complete lower chamber (molten salt + freeboard) above melt temperature will eliminate past experiences of salt solidification on the wall, heads, and in or on the internal process lines. External pipe runs will be sutoresistance heated to allow melting and drain back … continued below

Description

Volstility Pilot Plant Mark III Fluorinator will be a double-chamber type vessel, each chamber 2-1/2ft. by 16in. o.d. separated by a 5 in. pipe 15 in. long. ASME flanged and dished heads will be used for the chamber tops and conical sections with a 60º apex angle for the chamber bottoms. A new furnace designed to maintain the complete lower chamber (molten salt + freeboard) above melt temperature will eliminate past experiences of salt solidification on the wall, heads, and in or on the internal process lines. External pipe runs will be sutoresistance heated to allow melting and drain back of salt plugs. The upper chamber serves as a gas de-entrainment and solids precipitation device to retain most of the entrained salt and condensable fluorides in the 100-400°C temperature range.
