Abstract

Abstract Effects of different operating conditions on the CO 2 capture and mass transfer performance of the absorption of CO 2 into a hybrid solvent MEA-Methanol were studied in a pilot-plant absorber packed with three different packing consist of Sulzer BX500, Mellapale Y500 and Pall rings 16 × 16. The results showed that the structured packing had an obvious advantage in the mass transfer performance. And Sulzer BX500 was better than Mellapale Y500 for it had a more uniform gas–liquid distribution on the packing surface. In addition, CO 2 lean loading, lean solvent temperature, lean solvent flow rate and flue gas flow rate all had great effects on the absorption performance of the MEA-Methanol absorption system.
