ABSTRACT 
Carbon capture plays an important role in facing climate change. The Objective of this research is to
Absorb carbon dioxide from flue gases using packed column absorption undergoing vapour liquid
Absorption. This process involves capturing carbon directly from it's source unlike traditional methods.
Research performed was so done with the attempt to determine the best method for Absorption and
Solvents to be used. Computational research done in this area is moderately extensive, allowing the
necessity for more comprehensive experimental work. Trying to analyse the possibilities that come from
modifying a pre-existing design with a goal to produce a method which can be used in small as well as
large scale requirements and in a cost effective manner.
With this in mind, a closer experimental examination should be completed to isolate the exact scale at
which this occurs. A brief review of the method used is also presented. The combustion chamber and
Absorption column is used based on post combustion process. In the post combustion capture typically
uses Solvents to separate carbon dioxide from the flue gas. Then Column is Designed using standard
procedure using Height Equivalent to Theoretical Plate (HETP) method is carried out.
The outcome of this method is to reduce the greenhouse gases which are being emitted into the
atmosphere where carbon dioxide is the major constituent.
