Absorption Tower
An Absorption Tower is a vertical vessel used in industrial processes to remove specific components from gas streams by contact with a liquid solvent. This equipment facilitates mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases, allowing targeted pollutants or valuable compounds to be absorbed efficiently. Absorption Towers are commonly employed in chemical plants, refineries, and environmental control systems for gas scrubbing, purification, and recovery applications. They are designed for optimal gas-liquid contact, often using packing materials or trays to enhance surface area and improve absorption efficiency.
