“…As the temperature difference between adsorption and regeneration increases, the operating and equipment costs associated with the vacuum and the service costs related to heat transfer increase in proportion. Khalafullah et al [30] employed an economic analysis of carbon absorption. While maintaining gasifier performance conditions, the sulfur content in synthesis gas, and the stoichiometric number in the methanol synthesis reactor, these four designs were compared in terms of energy consumption, economy, methanol production rate, and carbon emissions.…”

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.
