Absorption Pilot Plant Vocational Education Equipment

UAD Absorption Pilot Plant Vocational Education Equipment

This absorption unit has been designed to explain the principles of gas-liquid absorption, and for the practical training on absorption plants.
Training program
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Study of the main principles of the absorption of a gas into a liquid through a packed column
• Demonstration of quantitative methods of analysis of gaseous and liquid phase
• Mass balance for an absorption column
• Determination of mass transfer coefficient
• Study of hydrodynamic characteristics of a packed column
• Determination of flooding and loading points
