Modeling of CO2-MEA absorption system in the packed column using Sulzer DX structured packing

The accurate design of a packed column is largely dependent upon the accurate calculation of the effective mass transfer area (ae ) of a packing. The experimental and the modelling study for the packed column with CO2-Monoethanolamine (MEA) system has been reported by employing Sulzer DX packing. Th...

The accurate design of a packed column is largely dependent upon the accurate calculation of the effective mass transfer area (ae ) of a packing. The experimental and the modelling study for the packed column with CO2-Monoethanolamine (MEA) system has been reported by employing Sulzer DX packing.

The model has been successfully validated with the experimental data. Overall results depict good accuracy (AAD < 15) of predicted CO2 concentration profiles due to the reliable ae calculations.
