Determine the sizing of a desorber for the following conditions: feed alkanolamine liquid flowrate is 4 m3/h, feed gas flowrate is air at 14 kgmol/h. The density of air is 1.188 kg/m3 and density of liquid is 998 kg/m3. The liquid viscosity is 0.998 kg/m/s. The desorption column is to be packed with 35-mm plastics Pall rings. The column should be operated at 50% flooding.
