Using Q-PAC leads to reduced operating expenses

Using Q-PAC leads to reduced operating expenses

Two examples, based upon actual Lantec installations:

 

Example 1 – 20,000 cfm odor control scrubber

Competitive packing design – 400 ft/min design gas velocity
Fabricate 8’ diameter tower
10 ft packed depth
Packing volume 510 ft3
Recirculation pump sized for 6 gm/ft2 (300 gpm)
Project cost $37,500 (using other packing )

Q-PAC Design – 707 ft/min design gas velocity
Fabricate 6’ diameter tower
10 ft packed depth
Packing volume 290 ft3
Recirculation pump sized for 6 gm/ft (170 gpm)
Project cost $26,120 (using Q-PAC packing)

This project realized a 30% capital savings because Q-PAC was used!

 

Example 2 – 50,000 cfm odor control scrubber

Competitive packing design – 442 ft/min design gas velocity

12 ft diameter tower, cost: $97,241
10 ft packed depth
Recirculation pump sized for 6.6 gpm/ft2 (750 gpm), cost: $27,000
1160 ft3 of packing, cost: $11,020
Total Project Cost: $138,861 (using other packing)

Lantec design using Q-PAC – 790 ft/min design gas velocity
9 ft diameter tower, cost: $64,630
10 ft packed depth
Recirculation pump sized for 6.6 gpm/ft2 (420 gpm), cost: $19,880

660 ft3 of packing, cost $6080
Total Project Cost: $94,190 (using Q-PAC packing)

In this project a 32% capital savings made possible by using Q-PAC!

You decide, which system is less expensive, A or B?

(A)  tower-small       (B) tower-big

Obviously, and as shown in these examples:

Cost of scrubber system A is much lower than cost of scrubber system B

Keep in mind the lower pressure drop of Q-PAC,  operating cost will be:

Cost of scrubber system A drastically lower than cost of scrubber system B
