OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESS VARIABLES IN AMINE ABSORPTION SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE MINIMUM REBOILER DUTY (AND OPTIMUM CO2 REMOVAL) USING ICON SIMULATION TOOL

Natural gas (which is a naturally gaseous hydrocarbon constituted of mainly methane, other hydrocarbons and other impurities including acid gases) is often contemplated as one of the cleanest fossil fuels which can be further described as a safe energy source. The process of eliminating these acid g...
