For absorbers, high pressure drop results in___________________?
Correct answer: B. High operating cost
- A. Increased efficiency
- B. High operating cost
- C. Decreased efficiency
- D. Better gas liquid contact
Explanation
A high absorber pressure drop requires greater gas-side pumping or compression work, increasing operating cost. Although pressure drop can accompany stronger contact, excessive pressure drop is generally an economic disadvantage and may indicate flooding.
