Absorber-Stripper Systems

An appropriate procedure for executing the design of an absorber-stripper system is to set up a carefully selected series of design cases and then evaluate the investment costs, the operating costs, and the operability of each case. Some of the economic factors that need to be considered in selec ting the optimum absorber-stripper design are discussed later in the subsec tion Economic Design of Absorption Systems. ... 

Design of Absorber-Stripper Systems The solute-rich liquor leaving a gas absorber normally is distilled or stripped to regenerate the solvent for recirculation back to the absorber, as depicted in Fig. 14-3. It is apparent that the conditions selected for the absorption step... 

These two types of processes both use absorber/stripper systems but with different characteristics. Both are discussed in detail in this chapter.
