This review presents the optimization of monoethanolamine(MEA) regeneration in a pilot scale CO2-MEA absorption-desorption unit. The goals of the thesis were to identify the variables affecting the stripping process and determine their optimum combination, and to give suggestions necessary for the improvement of the stripper’s capacity.
A thorough perusal of the literature on the phenomena and the equipment was carried out to adequately understand the variables in action. Experiment trials were also con-ducted, in line with the Taguchi’s method dictates, to determine the optimum combina-tion of the tunable variables in the system.
The literature survey revealed a number of factors, four of which were further investi-gated to determine the optimum. The optimum condition for the washing liquid regeneration was determined. Also, two retrofitting recommendations were given to improve the capacity of the equipment.
