Two-phase, gas-liquid concurrent flow i n packed beds was investigated with the use of on air-water system and 2., 4-, and 6-in. diameter columns pocked w i t h tabular alumina porticles of 0.025 and 0.027 ft. diameters. Total pressure drop, column operating pressure, and liquid saturation were meas

## Abstract It was observed in the experimental investigations that the concurrent upflow of airβMonoethanol amine system through the packed bed gave higher pressure drop in bubble flow regime than the airβwater system. But when the flow regime changed to spray flow, airβwater system showed higher
