Question:

A five-equilibrium-stage tray absorber is used for the acetone separation described. It is now observed that the outlet mole fraction of acetone in air is 0.002.

1. Suggest at least six individual causes for the faulty absorber performance.

2. For the causes listed in Part (a) that are represented on the Kremser graph, determine the exact value of the parameter (i.e., what flowrate would cause the observed outlet mole fraction?).

3. For each cause listed in Part (b), suggest at least three compensation methods. Be quantitative.24.2.1 Troubleshooting a Packed-Bed Absorber The first troubleshooting problem involves a packed-bed
