Sustainability
With the rigorous kinetic model incorporated and the recommended
mass transfer correlation being used, the rate-based
column modeling can provide accurate predictions of the absorber
performance for either the CATACARB or Benfield process.
The rate-based column model can be used to establish a
reliable design basis for column internals and find the most costeffective
design for the column. The model can also provide a
guide to unit operations, with the optimum operation range
identified by a sensitivity study using a rate-based model.

Green horizons: Hydrogen development
in Europe and Asia-Pacifi c
This webcast will examine the development of hydrogen projects,
technology applications and markets in Europe and Asia-Pacifi c,
the two regions driving global low-carbon hydrogen production
and demand. In the transportation fuel segment alone, nearly 600
hydrogen refueling stations were deployed worldwide as of the
end of 2020, with half of these located in Asia-Pacifi c and onethird
located in Europe. Low-carbon hydrogen production and use
will be discussed for a range of applications, including fuel and
chemical processing, transportation fuel, energy storage and power
generation, natural gas blending and others.
