What you are requesting, Mr. Murthie, seems to represent about 50% of the design effort for the entire project--maybe more :-)

I think someone could recommend some good books on the topic, but development work and production of satisfactory prototypes and samples would have to come after the book knowledge but before the layout of the plant. There are no book formulas that work for all circumstances; and concentrations and treatment times would have to be tested with your particular parts.
