A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Gas absorption equipment operation

Gas absorption equipment (e.g., packed columns, tray columns, spray towers) is used to transfer a gas phase component into a liquid phase. Mastering the design, operation and control of these units is essential for meeting product specifications, ensuring safety and optimizing energy consumption in petrochemical plants.
