QUESTION 1 The heavier component has to be removed from a gas stream by absorption. The absorption column operates at 2 000 kPa and 40C. The entering oil and gas with its composition and K-values can be found in Table 1. The oil and gas are fed to a stripper with 7 theoretical stages, where the lighter components are stripped by superheated oil. The effluent gas enters the absorber at 750 kmol/h and the total molar flowrate of the oil entering the absorber is 195 kmol/h. It can be assumed that A and S values can be based on the entering values of L and V, and K-values are constant. Table 1: K-values for components Component LO(mole fraction) V8 (mol fraction) K-values CH4 0.23 6.65 C2H6 0.407 1.64 C3H8 0.33 0.584 C4H10 0.1 0.03 0.195 C5H12 0.05 0.003 0.0713 Non-volatile oil 0.85 0 0.0001 1.1. Calculate the molar flowrates of the components entering the absorber in the liquid stream and the effluent gas stream. Tabulate your answers. (4) Calculate the compositions and flowrates of the vapour and liquid streams leaving the absorber. Tabulate your answers in an appropriate table. (16) 1.2
