Absorption Equipment

Absorption equipment is used in many different industries for a variety of purposes including air separation, cryogenic production, hydrogen purification, and natural gas processing. Absorption is the process of transferring a gas or dissolved substance from one medium, such as air, into another medium, such as a liquid. This process can be used to remove impurities from the air and is often used to separate gases from liquids by using the varying solubility of different gases in solutions.

The most common type of absorption equipment is the absorber, which consists of a column or vessel filled with material which is able to absorb a particular component of the air or gas stream. For example, an absorber may be filled with activated carbon, which is used to absorb volatile organic compounds that may be present in the gas stream. Another type of absorption equipment is a scrubber, which is usually used to remove dust or other small particles from the gas stream. Scrubbers use an internal, or external, fan or pump to create a vacuum within the scrubber and draw the air or gas through a filter medium to remove the dust or particles.

Absorption equipment is also used for industrial applications such as air pollution control, heat recovery, steam purification, and odour control. An absorption tower is used to reduce the odour from sources such as landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and other industrial processes. An absorption tower works by passing the contaminated air through a chemical medium that absorbs the odorous compounds, such as carbon, to clean the air.

In addition to industrial applications, absorption equipment is also used in the home for air purification. Air purifiers are commonly used for reducing indoor air pollution such as smoke, dust, and allergens. Air purifiers typically use either a filter medium or an adsorbent material to remove pollutants from the air.

Absorption equipment is an important part of many industries as it is used to reduce pollution and improve air quality in both industrial and home settings. The type of absorption equipment used will depend on the specific purpose and the type of pollution or contaminant that needs to be removed. Absorption equipment can be an effective and efficient way to reduce pollution and protect the environment.
