(Tube –Lumen)
Effect of feed gas pressure on H2S and CO2 fluxes using different loaded
carbonate solutions as a chemical solvent for fixed gas and liquid flow rates.
The percentage values correspond to the removal at 50 bar (short module –
500 fibers)
Effectof membranelength (surfacearea)
Comparison between H2S and CO2 % removal for both PFA short and long
modules under the same conditions.
Effectof Gas Flow Rate
Effect of feed gas pressure on H2S and CO2 flux at fixed liquid flow rate but
different gas flow rates. The percentage values correspond to the removal at 50
bar (long module).
Effectof Liquid Flow Rate
Effect of feed gas pressure on H2S and CO2 flux for fixed gas flow rate but
different liquid flow rates. The percentage values correspond to the removal at
50 bar (long module).
Effectof Temperature– Physical Absorption
Effect of feed gas pressure on CO2 and H2S flux using water as a physical solvent at two
different temperatures (65 °C and 100 °C). The percentage values correspond to the
removal 50 bar.
Effectof Temperature– Chemical Absorption
Effect of feed gas pressure on CO2 and H2S flux using 0.5 M DEA solution as a chemical
solvent at two different temperatures (65 °C and 100 °C). The percentage values
correspond to the removal at 50 bar.
Effectof Temperature– Chemical Absorption
Effect of feed gas pressure on CO2 and H2S flux using carbonate solution as a chemical
solvent at two different temperatures (65 °C and 100 °C). The percentage values
correspond to the removal at 50 bar.
