Automated Analysis of ZLC Experiments: Fitting of Kinetic and Isotherm Parameters Page 1 Automated Analysis of ZLC Experiments: Fitting of Kinetic and Isotherm Parameters Daniel Friedrich, Enzo Mangano, Xiayi Hu, Maria-Chiara Ferrari, Stefano Brandani Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage, The University of Edinburgh 2013 AIChE Annual Meeting, San Francisco [email protected] Page 2 Motivation Current analysis of ZLC experiments • Based on simplifying assumptions, eg linear isotherm • Analyse one experiment at a time Aim of the automated analysis Combine an adsorption process simulator with a hybrid optimisation strategy for the automated parameter estimation from Zero Length Column (ZLC) experiments Benefits of the automated analysis • Use the same, full column model as used for large scale systems which includes non-linear effects • Analyse several experiments at the same time Daniel …
