About This Course

Model Separation Processes involving Absorption such as Packed Towers and Tray Columns

Introduction:

Gas Absorption is one of the very first Mass Transfer Unit Operations studied in early process engineering. It is very important in several Separation Processes, as it is used extensively in the Chemical industry.

Understanding the concept behind Gas-Gas and Gas-Liquid mass transfer interaction will allow you to understand and model Absorbers, Strippers, Scrubbers, Washers, Bubblers, etc...

We will cover:

  • REVIEW: Of Mass Transfer Basics required

  • GAS-LIQUID interaction in the molecular level, the two-film theory

  • ABSORPTION Theory

  • Application of Absorption in the Industry

  • Counter-current & Co-current Operation

  • Several equipment to carry Gas-Liquid Operations

  • Bubble, Spray, Packed and Tray Column equipments

  • Solvent Selection

  • Design & Operation of Packed Towers

  • Pressure drop due to packings

  • Design & Operation of Tray Columns

  • Single Component Absorption

  • Single Component Stripping/Desorption

  • Diluted and Concentrated Absorption

  • Basics: Multicomponent Absorption

  • Software Simulation for Absorption/Stripping Operations (ASPEN PLUS/HYSYS)

Solved-Problem Approach:

All theory is backed with exercises, solved problems, and proposed problems for homework/individual study.

At the end of the course:

You will be able to understand mass transfer mechanism and processes behind Absorption and Stripping. You will be able to continue with a Distillation Theory and more Mass Transfer Unit Operation Course and/or Separation Processes Course.

About your instructor:

I majored in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Industrial Engineering back in 2012.

I worked as a Process Design/Operation Engineer in INEOS Koln, mostly on the petrochemical area relating to naphtha treating. There I designed and modeled several processes relating separation of isopentane/pentane mixtures, catalytic reactors and separation processes such as distillation columns, flash separation devices and transportation of tank-trucks of product.

  • Understand the principle behind gas Absorption and Stripping

The guy is moving too fast through the material and his writing is sloppy.

I am Italian guy and I understand the explanation of this professor anyway. Moreover, I am very satisfy to have bought this course because the teacher explains very well this type of topic. I'm very glad to follow the lessons steps by steps, I am very happy to spend my time to write in my paper the words describing the concepts of this matter. I suggest this course to all people want to know about stripping and absorbtion laws and relevant relations.
