What is Absorption Operation ?

Absorption is a physical separation process where one or more components are removed from a gas/vapor stream by a liquid stream. In industrial applications the liquid and vapor streams can have co-current or countercurrent flows. Absorption is usually carried out in either a packed or trayed column. The variables and design considerations for Absorbers are many. Among them are the entering conditions, the degree of recovery of the solute needed, the choice of the Absorbing agent and its flow, the operating conditions, the number of stages, the heat effects, and the type and size of the equipment.

What is Point Efficiency of Absorption Column ?

The contact between the phases on a tray is not uniformly good at all locations, i.e. the tray efficiency is likely to vary from one location to another on a tray. However, if we assume that (i) the liquid is 'vertically well-mixed' (i.e. the liquid concentration is uniform in the vertical direction at any point on the tray and (ii) the gas-phase is in plug flow (i.e. the gas concentration changes along the depth), we can define a 'point efficiency' based on the gas-phase concentration. So Point efficiency is the ratio of actual enrichment of the gas (as it bubbles through the liquid on the tray) to the maximum enrichment that could have been achieved if the exiting gas had reached equilibrium with the local liquid.
