Absorption Performance Study of STONVENT for C02-Natural Gas System

As sweet gas in Malaysia has gradually decreased and most of the remaining natural gas is acidic gas where C02 is found highly contained (approximately 80% volumetric), C02 separation technique has become essential in which to remove as many C02 as possible. Numerous of separation techniques are...
