Engineering Vessel Sizing Guide

This document provides input data and calculations for sizing a horizontal K.O drum. It includes: - Input data such as gas and liquid flow rates, densities, viscosities, required residence time. - Calculations to determine level controller heights and vessel sizing parameters like minimum diameter, cross sectional areas, length. - Sizing of areas for the horizontal-to-level band and calculations for the level band volume and vessel length. - Checks that the calculated L/D ratio is between 2.5 and 6, iterating the diameter as needed.
