The effect of the level in the separation tank of a laboratory Jameson
cell on downcomer behaviour -pressure, pool level, gas flowrate, and
gas holdup - was studied. When The initial gas flowrate was uncontroll
ed, changes in the separation tank level affected the downcomer: for e
xample, a decrease in level caused a decrease in pressure and pool lev
el and an increase in gas rate and gas holdup. When the gas flowrate w
as maintained constant, level changes in the separation tank changed d
owncomer pressure in the same manner as before bur now had no effect o
n pool level or gas holdup.
