What are the consequences of too low a processing capacity in a packed absorption tower?
Thread Content
The processing capacity of the packed absorption tower is too low; the calculated diameter of the tower is only 150 mm. What effects would there be if the diameter of the absorption tower were increased by using more absorbent? What effects would occur if the liquid flow rate is high while the gas velocity is low? (Excluding operational costs.) I hope everyone can help provide some advice – this issue has been bothering me for a long time. Thank you
An increase in the liquid phase has little effect on the tower diameter. Will a low gas velocity lead to uniform vapor-liquid distribution?
With the liquid phase flow rate remaining constant, the impact should be minimal

The values calculated using the general theories in the book are all completely absurd. I hope experts can provide some guidance; thanks in advance
