Effect of Liquid Load Level and Binder Type on the Tabletability of Mesoporous Silica Based Liquisolids

Mesoporous silica offers an easy way to transform liquids into solids, due to their high loading capacity for liquid or dissolved active ingredients and the resulting enhanced dissolution properties. However, the compression of both unloaded and loaded mesoporous silica bulk material into tablets is challenging, due to poor/non-existing binding capacity. This becomes critical when high drug loads are to be achieved and the fraction of additional excipients in the final tablet formulation needs to be kept at a minimum. Our study aimed to investigate the mechanism of compression and tabletability dependent on the Liquid Load Level of the silica and type of filler/binder in binary tabletting mixtures. To this end, Vivapur® 101, FlowLac® 90, Pearlitol® 200 SD and tricalcium citrate tetrahydrate were selected and mixed with Syloid® XDP 3050 at various Liquid Load Levels. Compaction characteristics were analysed using the StylOne® Classic 105 ML compaction simulator. Additionally, the Overall Liquid Load (OLL) was defined as a new critical quality attribute for liquisolid tablets. The Overall Liquid Load allows straightforward, formulation-relevant comparisons between various fillers/binders, liquid components, and silica types. Results indicate strong binding capacity and high plasticity of the fillers/binders as key components for successful high liquid load silica tablet formulation. A volumetric combination of 30% Vivapur® 101 and 70% 0.75 mL/g loaded Syloid® XDP 3050 proved to be the most effective mixture, achieving an Overall Liquid Load of 36–41% [v/v] and maintaining a tensile strength of 1.5 N/mm2 with various liquid vehicles.Graphical

On the Role of Anions in Solid Catalysts with Ionic Liquid Layer (SCILL) for the Selective Hydrogenation of Highly Concentrated Acetylene Streams.

Electric plasma assisted pyrolysis of methane represents a highly promising greener alternative to produce ethylene from biogas and renewable energies compared to conventional steam cracking of naphtha. The mediocre performance of typical Pd-Ag catalysts for the downstream purification of the substantially higher concentrated acetylene impurities (≥15 vol.-%) in those ethylene streams via selective hydrogenation is yet limiting economic interest. Following the concept of solid catalysts with ionic liquid layer (SCILL), we have modified an intrinsically non-selective palladium catalyst with imidazolium based ionic liquids varying among 10 different anions and investigated them in this reaction. The best performing [C4C1IM][MeSO4]-SCILL reaches an outstanding average ethylene selectivity over 20 h on-stream of 82 % at full acetylene conversion without any sign of deactivation, clearly outperforming conventional Pd-Ag catalysts. By varying parameters like ionic liquid (IL) loading, temperature, feed gas composition, cations, and by using XPS for surface analysis we could gain a very comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms that reduce the competing over-hydrogenation and oligomerisation side-reactions.

A Novel Method for Early Warning and Quantitative Evaluation of Liquid Loading in Gas Wellbore Based on Dynamic Production Data: A Case Study of Linxing Tight Gas Field.

Gas wells in Linxing Tight Gas Field are characterized by significant water production, and individual well water production measurement is missing, which pose challenges to predict liquid loading and conduct quantitative evaluations. Moreover, relying solely on flow temperature and pressure testing can be costly and time-consuming. To address these critical issues, we established the prewarning model and quantitative evaluation method for liquid loading. By utilizing those models, real-time judgment and evaluation of liquid loading can be achieved without individual well water production measurements. Our researches reveal that the pressure differential per unit gas production exhibits four patterns for different production stages. In contrast to maintaining a consistent pattern in the absence of liquid loading, the presence of fluid accumulation in production wells can be diagnosed through the increase in the specific production pressure difference within the liquid-loaded production section. Furthermore, the height of liquid loading in the wellbore can be calculated by using the quantitative evaluation model, which can match well with the field tests. The average error can be only 5.9%, and it will offer a novel solution for early warning and quantitative evaluation of wellbore liquid loading in water-producing tight gas fields. In addition, the limitation for strong stress sensitivity effect and high initial water yield-well needs to be broken through in future work.

Modeling of high-pressure transient gas-liquid flow in M-shaped jumpers of subsea gas production systems

Two-phase flow with low liquid loads is common in high-pressure natural gas offshore gathering and transmission pipelines. During gas production slowdowns or shutdowns, an accumulation of liquid in the lower sections of subsea pipelines may occur. This phenomenon is observed in jumpers that connect different units in deep-water subsea gas production facilities. The displacement of the accumulated liquid during production ramp-up induces temporal variations in pressure drop across the jumper and forces on its elbows, resulting in flow-induced vibrations (FIV) that pose potential risks to the structural integrity of the jumper. To bridge the gap between laboratory experiments and field conditions, transient 3D numerical simulations were conducted using the OpenFOAM software. These simulations facilitated the development of a mechanistic model to elucidate the factors contributing to increased pressure and forces during the liquid purging process. The study examined the influence of gas pressure level, pipe diameter, initially accumulated liquid amount, liquid properties, and gas mass flow rate on the transient pressure drop and the forces acting on the jumper's elbows. The critical gas production rate required for complete liquid removal of the accumulated liquid was determined, and scaling rules were proposed to predict the effects of gas pressure and pipe diameter on this critical value. The dominant frequencies of pressure and force fluctuations were identified, with low-pressure systems exhibiting frequencies associated with two-phase flow phenomena and high-pressure systems showing frequencies attributed to acoustic waves.

A High-Performance Microwave Heating Device Based on a Coaxial Structure

Continuous-flow microwave heating stands out for its ability to rapidly and uniformly heat substances, making it widely applicable in chemical production. However, in practical applications, the permittivity of the heated liquid changes dramatically as the reaction progresses, affecting the efficiency and uniformity of continuous-flow heating. Herein, this work presents a novel microwave heating device based on a coaxial structure for high-performance heating. Our approach commenced with the development of a multiphysical field model, incorporating spiraled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a water channel and the coaxial waveguide as a container. The analysis shows that the uniform distribution of the sectional electric field of electromagnetic waves in the TEM mode within the coaxial structure can enhance heating uniformity. Then, a continuous-flow microwave heating system for different liquid loads was established, and experimental measurements were conducted. The heating efficiency for all loads exceeded 90%, which basely matched the simulation results, validating the accuracy of the model. Finally, the heating efficiency and uniformity under different permittivity loads were analyzed, as well as the impact of channel radius on heating efficiency. The device exhibits high heating efficiency under different loads, with uniform radial electric field distribution and stable heating uniformity. This continuous-flow microwave device is suitable for chemical research and production because of its high adaptability to the large dynamic range of permittivity, contributing to the promotion of microwave energy applications in the chemical industry.

Experimental investigation of well deliquification using the partial tubing restrictions

Liquid loading is one of the main challenges in the later life of natural gas wells. Several methods have been tested to remedy this issue and unload gas wells, with various efficiencies. Preliminary studies on the impact of partial restrictions reveals that they improve liquid lifting by generating droplets and preventing the liquid film from falling back. These restrictions are commonly in shape of orifice rings or inserts. This study evaluates liquid unloading by employing such restrictions to improve liquid lifting. The restrictions can be incorporated into the tubing joint design, making them cheaper and easier to install compared to other techniques. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to understand the effect of inserts and liquid properties on two-phase flow behavior. The tests are performed in a 0.0508-m (2-inches) inner diameter vertical flow loop, using water or oil as the liquid phase and air as the gas phase. The tests are conducted with insert opening inner diameters of 0.0381 and 0.0445 m (1.5 and 1.75 inches.)The inserts cause significant mixing and generate high amplitude waves, which facilitate droplet generation. In churn flow with inserts, a thin liquid film is observed traveling downward, while liquid droplets travel upward. The results show that the inserts have the most positive effect at lower gas rates of churn flow and at lower liquid rates. Moreover, inserts provide the largest reduction in the liquid holdup for oil-air flow, due to lower density and surface tension compared to water. The results show that the inserts may enhance the liquid lifting by lowering the liquid holdup, while also increase the pressure drop by increasing the frictional losses. This indicates the need to choose the optimum insert diameter to minimize frictional losses and enhance liquid lifting.

Analyzing wall adhesion effects on falling film hydrodynamics for aqueous lithium bromide application

Over the past decade, there has been a concentrated effort to accurately characterize the film thickness in horizontal tube falling film evaporators (HFFEs). Despite the experimental challenges in measuring thickness across the entire tube, researchers have made advances using adaptable operational settings, such as numerical modeling, to analyze falling films. One such condition is to analyze film hydrodynamics for different wall adhesion contact angles. In this study, a 2-D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed to quantify film thickness and wetting time and to analyze hydrodynamics for aqueous lithium bromide (LiBr) applications. The variation of liquid load (Γ1/2) from 0.01–0.05 kg/(m·s) and contact angle from 0–45° are studied for LiBr concentrations (C) of 0.45 and 0.65. Results indicate that the impact of contact angle diminishes at higher liquid loads and LiBr concentrations. At C = 0.45, the film thickens by 13.8 % for Γ1/2 = 0.05 kg/(m·s). Moreover, the effects of contact angle on wetting time are more pronounced than the average film thickness. With a higher contact angle, heat transfer may deteriorate due to the poor thermal resistance caused by higher average film thickness.

Visual study of hydrate particles agglomeration and rolling characteristic in gas-oil-water phase using a flow loop

Natural gas hydrate blockage always leads to safety problems in oil and gas transportation pipelines. It is important to look for the characteristic of hydrate blockage process. The hydrate blockage was visually investigated under gas-oil-water multi-phase flow conditions in a flow loop in this study. The change of pressure drop with water conversion rate variations were detected. The hydrate particle movements were also observed in the visual pipes at different liquid loadings and water cuts. It was found that the hydrate particles may agglomerate and deposit with an obvious rolling process in low water cut conditions. The oil phase will accelerate particles agglomeration in the contact interface of oil, gas and water, and form a large number of flocculent hydrates. A theoretical hydrate particle rolling model was conducted to analysis the experiment results, and the hydrate particle velocity increases first and then decreases with the increase of particle diameter due to the comprehensive influence of van der Waals force and drag force. The results also confirmed the maximum of the pressure drop increased when the liquid loading increased. However, the hydrate formation and blockage speed also slow down due to small component of the gas phase in high liquid loading. In addition, comparing with 20 % and 80 % water cut, 50 % water cut has the fastest hydrate formation speed in different experimental conditions. Furthermore, the maximum water conversion rate increased with have a higher water cut. More hydrate will form in the condition, which will lead to the decrease of flow velocity in the pipeline.

Enhancement of Solubility and Dissolution Rate of Simvastatin Tablets by Liquisolid Compact Approach

The aim of the current work was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drug, simvastatin (SM) by using the liquisolid compact technique (LS; SM-LS). Liquid load factors, and excipient ratios were used to calculate the required amounts of excipients necessary to prepare the SM-LS and compressed to tablets according to mathematical models. Avicel PH102, Aerosil 200 and Crosspovidone (CP) was used as carrier, coating material and disintegrant, respectively. Drug-excipient mixtures were evaluated compatibility by Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Prepared SM-LS formulations were evaluated for various pre-compression and post-compressional parameters, in-vitro dissolution, and stability studies (40 ± 2°C / 75 ± 5% RH) for 3 months. Among the different formulations, LS10 formulation which contains 30% drug, 5% CP, Avicel pH 102: Aerosil 200 (1:10) showed 14-folds increase in dissolution rate when compared with pure SM powder. FTIR-ATR and DSC studies confirmed that there was no interaction between the drug and excipients. Further, the LS10 formulation had shown comparable dissolution profile with commercially available tablet formulation. The LS10 formulation showed no significant changes in the physicochemical properties over 3 months during stability studies. Therefore, the SM loaded LS formulation could be considered as an alternative approach to enhance the solubility and dissolution for commercial formulations. Keywords: Liquisolids compacts, solubility, dissolution, carrier, coating material, stability.

Modulation of slug flow characteristics observed in three-phase solid-liquid-gas flow measurements

The formation and agglomeration of gas hydrates represent a critical issue in flow assurance. This research aims to evaluate the transport and impact of particles on the slug flow pattern. Experimental investigations were conducted using inert polyethylene particles, mimicking gas hydrates, with four different particle sizes (100 µm, 200 µm, 300 µm and 400 µm) and three volumetric concentrations (1 %, 2.5 % and 5 %) with air and water as working fluids. The measurements show a relationship between slug flow characteristics and particle attributes, showing a nonlinear behavior influenced by both particle size and concentration, potentially explained via turbulence modulation. The particle size relative to the turbulent eddy size can either promote or damp the turbulence intensity, with impact on the peak velocity of the flow, and consequences in the elongated bubble velocity. In the case of lower mixture velocities and higher liquid loadings, particles also influence the slug flow formation.

A new mechanistic model to predict liquid loading in inclined natural gas wells

Accurately predicting the critical gas velocity and inclination angle is crucial for gas field development. However, the mechanism of liquid loading remains elusive due to insufficient attention given to the multivaluedness of flow structures and phase non-uniformity. This paper theoretically studied the flow pattern and gas-liquid configuration in wellbore based on the minimum energy principle. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of liquid film was analyzed, and a new correlation for the interfacial friction factor was proposed based on wave properties. The results indicated that the flow pattern transitioned from stratified to annular flow as the inclination angle increased. The gas-liquid interface presented a curved shape, with the interface curvature being influenced by various factors such as fluid properties, tube diameter, inclination angle, and gas and liquid velocities. As the inclination angle increases, the critical gas velocity first increases and then decreases, reaching a peak between 44° and 59°, aligning well with experimental and conventional results. Larger tube diameter, higher liquid density, and viscosity result in a higher critical gas velocity. Waves are more prone to develop in inclined pipes, and capillary waves can break up liquid film due to instability, leading to a discontinuous flow in inclined tubes. Film instability is exacerbated by a smaller diameter, higher liquid holdup, or greater inclination angle. Finally, a new model was devised to predict liquid loading in inclined natural gas wells, demonstrating better performance than existing models. In practice, the present model can achieve real-time prediction of critical gas velocity and continuously monitor the location of liquid accumulation in gas wells over the lifespan.

Longitudinal plane wave amplitude in N-type semiconductors with inviscid liquid loading and impedance boundary

The present analytical investigation focuses on longitudinal quasi-plane (qP) waves scattering in N-type piezoelectric semiconductor (PSC) halfspace, generating four reflected waves: qP, qSV, electro-acoustic, and carrier plane. It analyzes wave amplitudes under two conditions: inviscid liquid loading and impedance boundary conditions, deriving a secular equation and determining reflection/transmission coefficients. These calculations rely on 3D constitutive relations and equilibrium equations. Furthermore, the study also extends to the calculation of bulk energy flux. The outcomes of the study may provide insights into the applications of piezoelectric semiconductors in underwater navigation or detection systems and electromagnetic transducers.

Mitigating Liquid Loading in Gas Wells Using Thermochemical Fluid Injection: An Experimental and Simulation Study.

Liquid loading significantly hinders gas production in unconventional shale wells, restricting flow and causing productivity decline. This study presents a novel approach to address this challenge, utilizing thermochemical fluids to generate in situ pressure and heat and effectively mitigating liquid loading issues. Laboratory experiments were conducted using a specially designed flow loop system to evaluate the performance of thermochemical fluids in alleviating liquid loading. The key treatment parameters such as thermochemical volumes, injection rate, number of cycles, and optimum injection time were optimized to improve the removal efficiency. In addition, PIPESIM software (pipe simulation program) was used to validate the effectiveness of the thermochemical approach for removing the liquid loading issue. Both laboratory results and PIPESIM outcomes confirmed the efficiency of thermochemical fluids in handling liquid loading. Removal efficiency of more than 90% can be achieved using thermochemical injection. The liquid removal efficiency increases with the number of cycles due to the generation of more pressure and heat at later injection cycles. Increasing injection cycles from 1 to 3 resulted in liquid removal efficiency rising from 17 to 95%. Also, PIPESIM results indicated that the gas production rate can be improved by around 74% after applying thermochemical treatment. Overall, this study introduces an effective treatment for liquid loading mitigation with significant potential to enhance gas production. The proposed method offers several advantages, including ease of application and extended well life.

Gas well production optimization: Classifying liquid loading severity in shale gas wells using semi-supervised learning

The liquid loading of shale gas wells presents significant challenges, including a reduction in production capacity, an increase in production costs, and environmental degradation. It is of paramount importance to provide accurate and timely warnings of liquid loading in order to ensure the efficient production operations. Existing physical models often rely on assumptions regarding material properties and fluid behaviors. However, the establishment of precise physical models in complex real-world scenarios represents a significant challenge. Most existing data-driven methods rely on either supervised or unsupervised learning strategies. The former causes a considerable investment of time and human resources to generate labels, while the latter demands exceptionally high standards for data quality. These are challenging to achieve in actual production. Most studies on liquid loading adopt a dichotomous approach, whereby the presence or absence of liquid loading is determined. A paucity of studies has attempted to classify the severity of liquid loading. In this paper, a semi-supervised learning-based liquid loading severity classification model is proposed. The model integrates the benefits of supervised and unsupervised learning, enabling the utilization of the entire dataset with a minimal number of labels. The paper also presents a Dynamic Time Relationship Self-Attention (DTRSA) module, which enhances the model’s anti-interference ability against other anomalies and improves the accuracy of liquid loading severity classification. In order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed model, experiments are conducted on a dataset of 219 shale gas wells in the southwestern region of Sichuan Province, China, within an oil and gas field. The model exhibits an overall classification accuracy of 98.46% in detecting liquid loading, with an earlier warning time than existing physical models.

Integrated Multiphase-Flow Modeling Technique Yields Accurate Downhole Pressure Predictions

_ This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 214855, “Integrated Multiphase-Flow Modeling for Downhole Pressure Predictions,” by Abdullah Alkhezzi and Yilin Fan, SPE, Colorado School of Mines. The paper has not been peer reviewed. _ This work presents an integrated multiphase flow model for downhole pressure predictions. The aim of the model is to produce more-accurate downhole pressure predictions under wide flowing conditions while maintaining a simple form. As a component of the integrated model, an improved two-fluid model for segregated flow is proposed. Results of the two-fluid segregated model are compared with five state-of-the-art existing models, while results of the integrated model are compared with three models. Introduction Throughout the life of the well, knowing bottomhole flowing pressure (Pwf) and the pressure profile of the wellbore are of great significance. Unfortunately, deploying downhole pressure gauges to obtain Pwfreadings is often not economical or practical. The common practice is to apply hydraulic models to predict Pwfgiven surface measurements. The prediction of such behavior is simple when dealing with single-phase fluid flow. Unfortunately, this condition is rare in the petroleum industry. The existence of multiple phases introduces multiple complexities hindering the accuracy of downhole pressure predictions. To account for such variations, fluid-property models must be integrated into the calculation procedure. The complexity, coupled with field-data scarcity, results in the deficiency of work that evaluates point models on actual wells. In this work, the authors evaluated the performance of a few widely used multiphase-flow point-based models on actual field data using a marching algorithm and developed a simplified, yet more precise, integrated model. Integrated Model Development Data Set Description. In this study, data points were collected for two main purposes. First, experimental data sets were collected to model and improve the segregated flow model. Second, field data were collected to test the integrated multiphase model. To improve the segregated flow model, 1,478 experimental data points were obtained from various sources in the literature. To evaluate the integrated multiphase flow model, 313 data points from two main sources of data were used (literature and actual field data). In total, four data sets were obtained from the literature and one was obtained from Civitas Resources. Integrated Model Description. The multiphase-flow point model incorporated in the authors’ integrated modeling consists of three main components: critical gas velocity estimation for the onset of liquid loading and hydraulic multiphase flow models before and after the onset of liquid loading. The proposed model characterizes the flow based on whether liquid loading occurs. The onset of liquid loading corresponds with the transition of the flow pattern from segregated to intermittent flow. At points where the superficial gas velocity is estimated to be lower than the critical gas velocity and the flow is considered intermittent or bubbly, the drift-flux model is to be used, which works well in flow patterns where liquid volume is high. Another strength of the model is its ability to capture countercurrent flow. The drift-flux homogeneous-like approach makes the process simple and continuous and simultaneously captures some physics through slippage. For points where the superficial gas velocity is greater than the critical gas velocity, two-fluid modeling is to be used.

Rapid Classification and Diagnosis of Gas Wells Driven by Production Data

Conventional gas well classification methods cannot provide effective support for gas well routine management, and suffer from poor timeliness. In order to guide the on-site operation in liquid loading gas wells and improve the timeliness of gas well classification, this paper proposes a production data-driven gas well classification method based on the LDA-DA (Linear Discriminant Analysis–Discriminant Analysis) combination model. In this method, considering the requirements of routine management, gas wells are evaluated from two aspects: liquid drainage capacity (LDC) and liquid production intensity (LPI), and are classified into six types. Domain knowledge is used to perform the feature engineering on the on-site production data, and five features are set up to quantitatively evaluate the gas well and to create classification samples. On this basis, in order to specify the optimal data processing flow to establish the gas well classification map, four linear dimensionality reduction techniques, LDA, PCA, LPP, and ICA, are used to reduce the dimensionality of original classification samples, and then, four classical classification algorithms, NB, DA, KNN, and SVM, are trained and evaluated on the low-dimensional samples, respectively. The results show that the LDA space achieves the optimal sample separation and is chosen as the decision space for gas well classification. The DA algorithm obtains the top performance, i.e., the highest Average Macro F1-score of 95.619%, in the chosen decision space, and is employed to determine the classification boundaries in the decision space. At this point, the LDA-DA combination model for sample data processing is developed. Based on this model, gas well classification maps can be established by data mining, and the rapid evaluation and diagnosis of gas wells can be achieved. This method realizes instant and efficient production data-driven gas well classification, and can provide timely decision-making support for gas well routine management. It introduces new ideas for performing gas well classification, expanding the content and scope of the classification work, and presenting valuable insights for further research in this field.

A fully coupled compositional wellbore/reservoir model for predicting liquid loading in vertical and inclined gas wells

Liquid loading presents a formidable challenge for mature gas wells, often resulting in substantial economic losses. Traditional research has predominantly centered on the analysis of gas-liquid two-phase flow within the wellbore to predict critical gas velocity or rate, aiding in identifying the onset of liquid loading. This study introduces a fully coupled compositional wellbore-reservoir simulator designed to detect liquid loading in both vertical and inclined gas wells. Leveraging the drift-flux model to evaluate flow pattern transitions, this simulator employs pressure or rate constraints at the wellhead as boundary conditions. It comprehensively captures the flow dynamics in both the wellbore and reservoir, unveiling significant changes in gas production rate, water production rate, gas velocity, flow regime, and the reserved position of the liquid film under liquid-loaded conditions. Moreover, the accumulation of liquid at the bottom hole leads to increased reservoir pressure and gas saturation near the wellbore. The simulator predicts a typical unstable production period, emphasizing its crucial role in implementing effective strategies to mitigate liquid loading. This paper investigates the capability of the coupled wellbore-reservoir model to characterize transient liquid loading phenomena from a systematic perspective. The proposed model can function as a real-time tool for predicting the status of liquid loading in gas wells.

Review on critical liquid loading models and their application in deep unconventional gas reservoirs

The exploitation of deep unconventional gas resources has gradually become more significant attributing to their huge reserves and the severe depletion of convention gas resources in the world. The proportion of deep unconventional gas reservoirs in the total gas resources cannot be underestimated, including shale gas, tight gas, and gas of coal seam. Due to the low permeability and porosity, hydraulic fracturing technology is still an important means to develop deep unconventional gas resources. However, the presence of fracturing fluids and water accumulation at the bottom of the wellbore significantly reduce gas production. The liquid loading model can be used to determine when the gas well begins to load the liquid. In this work, different types of liquid loading models are classified, and the applicability of different models is analyzed. At present, the existing critical liquid carrying models can be divided into mechanism models and semi-empirical models. The model established by Turner is a typical mechanism model. There are great differences in the application of a critical liquid loading model between vertical and horizontal wells. The field cases of a liquid loading model in different gas fields are provided and discussed. The mechanism of liquid loading models in recent years is introduced and analyzed. The physical simulations and experimental work therein are described and discussed to clarify the feasibility of the modeling mechanism. This article also presents the limitation and future work for improving the liquid loading models.

Simulation model of carbon capture with MEA and the effect of temperature and duty on efficiency

Humans continue to rely on fossil fuels to generate electricity. In other words, fossil fuels are the world's largest energy producers. Fossil fuels produce significant carbon dioxide, mostly in areas where humans live. Although the share of carbon dioxide produced in big cities is minimal compared to the carbon dioxide production of volcanoes, the production of carbon dioxide in big cities has destructive effects. Process Simulator is utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of their simulation model by subjecting it to various experimental conditions, including liquid loading, temperature, and CO2 absorption (PPS). Comparing empirical and simulated mass transfer coefficients distinguishes this study from others. This procedure consists of two steps: Carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption in a solvent produces highly concentrated CO2 gas following solvent regeneration. A chemical adsorption process's scalability depends on accurate simulation models, typically validated using data from a pilot plant. With the aid of this study, a simulation model of a desorption column is constructed with ASPEN PLUS and 42% MEA validated. In addition, the effect of the weight percentage of 20-42 MEA in the inlet stream on the efficiency is investigated, and the influence of the MEA inlet temperature on system efficiency is examined. Then, the recommended temperature is confirmed based on the MEA's heat tolerance capacity of 303 Kelvin.
