Mass Transfer Evaluation of CO2 Absorption in a Wetted Wall Column

Nov 1, 2012
Reynolds A. Frimpong
The chemical absorption of CO 2 in solvents is considered as one of the mature process options for reducing CO 2 emissions in power plants. Solvents with fast mass transfer rates and high CO 2 carrying capacity are therefore desired and continue to be explored to reduce equipment size and its...

Distillation in Practice

eLearning (online) Course
This course covers all essential distillation concepts likely to be faced by process support, operations, and design engineering personnel.Read more

Distillation Technology for Operators

eLearning (online) Course
Operators will gain an excellent understanding of the theory of distillation and how it works in a column, plus gain a solid foundation on the principles of operations without getting too product specific.Read more

Fluid Mixing Technology for Operators

eLearning (online) Course
Starting with the fundamentals (the basic principles of mixing), this course continues with practical applications to mixing technology, and ends with advanced topics such as solid-liquid processes. Operators will gain an excellent understanding of mixing theories and how they work in today's mixing technology without getting too product specific.Read more

Troubleshooting Distillation Simulation

June
2006
Reactions and Separations
Stanislaw K. Wasylkiewicz
A tool called azeotrope pressure sensitivity analysis (APSA) can shed light on the dependence of an azeotrope's composition and temperature on changes in pressure.

Understanding Crystallization and Crystallizers

October
2006
Fluids and Solids Handling
Ketan D. Samant, Lionel O'Young
Gain qualitative insight into the basic mechanisms of crystallization, the principles of crystallizer operation, and the ways in which these concepts relate to the selection and application of the various crystallizer configurations in industrial...

Aqueous Morpholine As a Potential Post-Combustion CO2 Absorption Solution

Nov 1, 2012
Krishna Mohan Jinka
Due primarily to high cyclic capacity and high absorption rates compared to other methods, aqueous amine based CO 2 capture has gained great interest for application to post-combustion CO 2 capture. While aqueous amines have a long history for acid gas removal, challenges remain for the commercial...

Appropriate Placement of Compressors and Expanders

Apr 4, 2012
Truls Gundersen
The term “Appropriate Placement” was introduced in Pinch Analysis during the 1980s to indicate how special unit operations should be correctly integrated with the background process to ensure maximum energy savings. Pinch Analysis has provided guidelines for the design of heat exchanger networks as...
