Bochum, Nordrhein-Westfalen, DE

With an international team of doctoral students, performed experimental testing on an ammonia and carbon dioxide absorption column. Tests included the effects on absorption and pressure drops resulting from different flow rates of water, gas and packing type. Separate experiments were preformed with different blends of primary, secondary, and tertiary.
