HI,

At Draper we have a MRL Oxidation tube with a bubbler and it works great, it also autofill's, check out MRL.

Subject: [labnetwork] Flash Drip Oxidation

My facility is not equipped to support Hydrogen, so when we ordered our oxidation furnaces, we had to defer to alternate methods for steam generation.  At the end, our furnace vendor provided a flash drip system.  Unfortunately, it was an absolutely pathetic system.  Even after it was packed with insulation, water pooled in the drip chamber and eventually splashed into the neck of the furnace tube.  It was soon replaced with a bubbler - which is only marginally better.  I've tolerated the bubbler for a few years now and I'd like to revisit the flash drip approach.  I know there are very good systems and, obviously, very bad ones, too.

I'd love to hear from folks that have a decent, simple, minimal cost flash drip system.  How is it configured?  How effective?  etc.  I have a few ideas on what I would like to try, but I'd appreciate some input from anyone that may be using this approach for wet oxidation.

Thanks,
tonyO
