Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We advocate studies of new, radically different geometries for adsorber regenerators. These offer substantial benefits, including reduced pressure drop, less attrition of pellets (and associated fouling problems), and improved mass transfer. However, a sound understanding of the influence of flow patterns on overall performance is needed.To give the project a strong focus we shall target radial flow systems, for the removal of CO2. We shall build on previous numerical studies. However, there will also be a strong, necessary element of experimental validation.The disseminated results should contribute to the design cycle in a number of applications for various gas mixtures, adsorbent materials and process vessel shapes.
