Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is today commonly used in a wide variety of process industries and disciplines for the development of innovative technologies. The present article aims to show how CFD can be used as an effective analysis and design tool for the development and design of packed gas/liquid absorption columns. It is first shown how CFD can be used for the characterisation of packings. The different hydrodynamic and mass transfer design parameters are investigated and adapted CFD methods are suggested. Secondly, column distribution internal development is discussed to show how CFD simulations should be performed to improve the design of gas and liquid distributors. An example of the development of new distribution technologies for floating installation of a reactive absorption column is also presented.
