Abstract
In this research, the model of packed bed and rotating packed bed was validated with pilot plant data. The PB model was validated with Radfrac rate-based model on Aspen plus and in-house PB model on ACM platform, the simulation results showed good corresponding on both model. However, the mass transfer correlation model should be carefully select depends on the type of packing. With Billet and Schultes (1999) model demonstrate well with random packing but not in structured packing system. However, the model developed on Aspen plus and ACM show quite the same simulation results. For Bravo (1985) and Hanley (2012), mass transfer correlation model show the good result on structured packing system and quite higher in random packing system. Furthermore, RPB model was developed on ACM with an assumption as well as in PB model, but in different geometry absorber model. The RPB results demonstrated the satisfactory result with the experiment data. Therefore, the in-house model on ACM shows the reliable simulation result in the pilot plant scale.
