Metal pall rings
Once this curve fit has been performed, then determining
the absolute values of the front factors AL, AV, and AM pro- ceeds by analyzing a different experiment or set of experi- ments where the contribution of the inpidual phase resis- tances to the overall resistance is different。 Typically, we have accomplished this by looking at CO2 absorption into aqueous amine or aqueous caustic solutions。 We use the mass-transfer correlations regressed from the binary distillation experiments to predict the performance of the CO2 absorber (and sometimes the stripper) using the Aspen Rate Based Distillation module。2 Initially, the front factors values are fixed at AL ¼ 1, AV0 , and AM0 。 The predicted temperature profile, out- let CO2 concentration, and outlet amine loading are noted, and their deviation from experiment recorded。 If necessary, the
front factor AL is adjusted to some new value, keeping AV0 and
fixed。 The reader should recall that AM0
¼ ALAM and that
¼ AV/AL。 We typically use an interval halving method to
determine the best value for AL。 There is some judgment involved in deciding what value for AL is best overall as the analysis of inpidual experiments oftentimes leads to a spread in AL values。 A flow diagram outlining the fitting process to identify AL, AM, and AV is shown in Figure
Data Sources and Data Correlation
hHETPi data for binary distillation systems and tempera- ture profile/amine loading/outlet sour gas composition data from acid gas absorption/stripping experiments were col- lected for the packing types under study here。9–12,20–22,39–63
The data for the various packing families were inpidu- ally analyzed using the methodology outlined above。 Several ad hoc limiting conditions were placed upon the power-law
