Process simulation of CO2 absorption data fitted to performance efficiency at TCM Mongstad

This work's first aim is to fit the simulated results pilot plant data from Test Centre Mongstad (TCM) for both high and low CO2 exhaust gas inlet concentrations. The next evaluate whether fitted parameters one scenario (a set of experimental under specified conditions) give reasonable predictions other conditions. scenarios at TCM have been in a rate-based model Aspen Plus (RateSep) an equilibrium-based HYSYS. model’s performance were by only changing liquid hold-up factor (multiplied with estimated Bravo/Rocha/Fair correlations) obtain removal efficiency. In model, Murphree efficiency (EM) was 24 or 18 stages (meter packing) temperature profile data. EM profiles then used adjusting EM-factor, multiplying all values profile. (CO2 profile) reasonably each given models. It shown this work that use (and not interfacial area factor) convenient Using concentration predict needed adjustment (liquid EM-factor) correct predictions. A 0.72 EM-factor 1.72 gave compared Esbjerg plant.
