Abstract

In this paper, scrubber modeling and optimization works have been performed for the removal of ethanol contained in the feed nitrogen gas. Ethanol content at scrubber top gas stream was reduced to 20 ppm in mole by contacting counter-currently with water as a solvent. Some of the liquid withdrawn at the scrubber bottom stream has been recycled to the scrubber in order to reduce the amount of waste water.
