Process Design of Adsorbers & Packed Towers

This course provides a practical understanding of the process design of adsorbers and packed towers used in chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, and process industries. It covers the basic principles of adsorption and gas-liquid mass transfer involved in separation processes. Participants will learn about different types of adsorbers, packing materials, tower configurations, and their applications. The course explains the key design parameters required for sizing and selecting adsorbers and packed towers. It covers pressure drop, flooding, liquid distribution, gas and liquid loading, and mass transfer considerations. Participants will understand how process conditions influence equipment performance and design. The course also introduces important calculations related to tower diameter, height, packing requirements, and operating conditions. Practical considerations for equipment selection, internals, and material compatibility are discussed. The course highlights common design challenges and operational issues associated with adsorbers and packed towers. Overall, it helps participants develop a strong foundation for process equipment design and apply engineering principles to real-world process applications.
