Materials of Construction
Standard porous media for spargers is 316L stainless steel, which provides good corrosion resistance and high temperature capability, up to 750F. Standard sparger hardware is 316 stainless steel. Other materials are available on special order, including 304L SS, 347 SS, 430 SS, Inconel 600, Monel 400, Nickel 200; Hastelloy C276, C22 and X; and Alloy 20.

* - Actual diameter of bubbles will vary depending on liquid media and application conditions. Mott makes no claim as to actual size of bubbles. Tests conducted at Mott indicate that our Media Grade 2 provides fine bubbles over a broad range of application requirements.
Sparger sizing is based on the superficial gas exit velocity from the porous sparger surface, expressed in feet per minute (FPM), calculated from actual cubic feet per minute per square foot of sparger surface area (ACFM/Ft.2). ACFM is calculated at the liquid pressure and temperature at the sparger,it is not based on gas pressure. Sizing Procedure for In-Tank Spargers 1. 2. 2.1 Determine gas flow required in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). Determine liquid pressure at the sparger, in PSIG (P). For open or vented tanks, liquid head in feet x 0.433 x specific gravity = PSIG. (Specific Gravity of water = 1.0) For closed tanks or vessels with a pressurized head space, add head space pressure to the liquid head pressure to obtain (P) Determine liquid temperature F, (T). Determine ACFM, from SCFM using standard gas formula. ACFM = SCFM x 14.7 x (460 + T) (14.7 + P) 520 5. 6. Select Gas Exit Velocity, FPM. See Gas Exit Velocity Chart. Calculate sparger area required Ft (A). A = ACFM FPM 7. Select appropriate Mott sparger element or elements, and determine best in-tank arrangement based on process requirements. Refer to Mott Sparging Literature (Ref: PMSPARG) or Mott Sparger Selection Key. In agitated tanks, use reinforced elements or provide support as required.

Lower exit velocities will produce smaller bubbles. Exit velocities may be less than the design values given. In some instances, actual application must be tested/proven. Reinforced or supported elements should be used in agitated vessels.

Lower gas exit velocities produce finer bubbles. Exit velocities can be <5 FPM with good performance. In some instances, actual application must be tested/proven. Reinforced elements are recommended, or elements with a centering spider for support within the pipe line. See Mott Sparging Literature (Ref: PMSPARG) or Mott Sparger Selector Key.
Sizing Method
1. Determine liquid flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM). Select Inline Dynamic Sparger model. Determine liquid line pressure, PSIG (P). Determine gas flow in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). Determine liquid temperature F (T). Calculate actual cubic feet per minute (ACFM) using standard gas formula: ACFM = SCFM x 14.7 x (460+T) (14.7+P) 520 7. 8. Record GasSaver area, Ft2 (A). Calculate gas exit velocity, FPM FPM=ACFM A 9. Check to be sure that the exit velocity is within the maximum range, based on the operating conditions.
Lower gas exit velocities produce finer bubbles. In some instances, actual application must be tested/proven. GasSavers provide a very broad range of effective operation, with both liquid and gas flows. See Dynamic Sparger Selection in Mott Literature (Ref: PMSPARG) or Mott Sparger Selector Key.
