Gas Absorption Tower Design Analysis

This document summarizes the design of a gas absorption tower. It includes: 1) Calculation of the number of transfer units (NTU) using operating line, equilibrium line, and integral methods, finding NTU=6.8. 2) Calculation of actual mass velocities and column diameter. 3) Use of Onda's correlation to calculate the height of transfer units (HTU)=1.14m. 4) Determination of total tower height as the product of NTU and HTU, which equals 7.76m. 5) Specification of liquid pumping requirements.

Actual Mass Velocities

Gx/Gy=1.83(From MB)
From Fig-18.5
For 2in Intalox Saddles
Gx=5.42 kg/s-m2
Gy=2.98 kg/s-m2
[Link]=0.737m
Actual Mass Velocities(1/2 flodding velocities)
Gx=2.716 kg/s-m2
Gy=1.49 kg/s-m2

Calculation of HTU

From Ondas Correlation


HG=0.83m
HL=0.5m
HTU=HG +
( m*Gm*HL )/Lm=1.14m
Height(z)=NTU*HTU=7.76m

Vefification of Result

For
Gx=5.42 kg/s-m2
Gy=2.98 kg/s-m2
From Fig 18.4
P=1.6 inch H2O/ft
From Fig 18.6
P=1.5 inch H2O/ft

Pump Specs
Liquid Pumped(Q)=4.167 m3/hr
Power(Th)=P*Q=9466.8*4.167
=39.44 kW
=52.86hp
Power(Actual)=Power(Th.)/Efficiency
