retracted its position and told the gas company to immediately take care of the problem. Another problem that has developed due to fracking is pollution around the dig sites. Emissions associated with combustion include nitrogen oxides‚ sulfur oxide‚ carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Another emission problem is the emission produced from the natural gas. Gasses such as methane‚ ethane and liquid condensate and volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOC’s have been proven to cause birth defects‚ neurological

The second major pollutant is Nitrogen oxides. And last is Sulpher dioxide. But wait!.. Those three are not just the only air pollutants‚ the causes can be many to name‚ e.g. fertilizer dust‚ cement dust‚ pesticides …… etc The health effects caused by air pollutants can be drastic.

DESIGN OF AN ABSORBER Problem statement To design an absorber (packed tower) for the absorption of 785.15 kg/h of sodium metabisulphite (Na2S2O5) at an average temperature of 68˚C and Y atm pressure with sulphur dioxide gas counter-currently reacting with Na2SO3 rich feed. Introduction Absorbers are vertical towers used in distillation‚ gas absorption and liquid-liquid extraction processes. Absorbers can be operated co-currently or counter currently. In the former‚ both fluids involved are fed
