Experimental Characterisation and Cfd Simulation of Gas Distribution Performance of Liquid (re)distributors and Collectors in Packed Columns
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usability of a state of the art CFD simulation package as a tool for analyzing the fluid-dynamic performance of internals encountered in packed distillation columns, such as initial gas distributors, liquid distributors and liquid collectors is demonstrated. A 1.4 ID column hydraulics simulator was used to provide detailed experimental evidence on the gas distribution pattern imposed by various types of column internals. The comparison of measured and predicted profiles for single gas flow conditions indicates a strikingly good agreement.

Natural gas usually contains significant amounts of acid gases when it is extracted from underground reservoirs. Therefore, it must be treated by appropriate processes to remove these acidic components. In this study, the simultaneous absorption of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas into diethanol amine solution was simulated using CFD. Absorption process was performed in a we...
