THE SIMULATION OF FLUE-GAS SCRUBBING

The aim of this research was to develop a model for the abatement of pollution in combustion gas. The model was based on the Treybal algorithm, considered all possible effects, and used the characteristic of combustion gas contaminants (low concentration) to have a reasonable assumption. Basic mathematical expressions and recent literature data were built into a P.C. calculation approach. Its use predicts the performance of a packed column under selected operating conditions. The hydrodynamics and related constraints (pressure drop, flooding point, maximum, and minimum liquid velocity) are also considered in the programs. Both simulation and design logic are developed. Finally, the recycle of solvents is studied.
