RFC: An Advanced Co-Current Contactor for Process Intensification of CO2 Capture
A technical note on the co-current Regenerative Froth Contactor for CO2 capture highlights test results. Observations relating to SINTEF INSPiRE project precipitating solvent study and internal Westec Environmental Solutions work using monoethanolamine (MEA).

CS1801: Regenerative Froth Contactor - Revolutionizing Gas/Liquid Contacting
Profile of the Regenerative Froth Contactor Technology and why it matters:
- 5 times process intensification (ie 1/5 the size) of conventional absorbers;
- high solids tolerance - non-fouling even with precipitate formation
- broad range of applications including CO2 capture.

Tech Note TNP001: (preliminary) CO2 Capture Evaluation of the WES Co-current Absorber Using MEA (Bill Hargrove - Westech Environmental Solutions, LLC)
This preliminary technical note outlines the performance obtained using the Regenerative Froth Contactor in the Westech Environmental Solutions lab. Monoethanolamine was chosen as a baseline capture solvent because it is a non-proprietary solvent. Testing was performed at 22% MEA concentration.
