Comparison of Equilibrium- Stage and Rate Based Model of an Absorption Column for a CO2-MEA system

The desorption step of the carbon dioxide absorption/desorption process is an extremely energy intensive process, which accounts for approximately 70% of operating cost according to Mofarahi et al. [2008]. Technip-ECN has proposed a solution of Heat integrated distillation column which will be adapted for the absorption process. In order to...

Modeling of waste to energy processes in an engineering environment

MSW is non hazardous and constitutes of biomass and plastics. Thermal conversion methods produce energy by utilizing the calorific value of these fuels, thus presenting opportunities to reduce the twin problems of waste disposal and energy shortage. However, the transition from coal to MSW causes several operational issues due to the difference...
