Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for controlling an amine contactor are provided. An exemplary method includes determining a pickup ratio for a solvent in the contactor, measuring a temperature of a lower tray of the contactor, adjusting the pickup ratio based, at least in part, on the temperature, and adjusting a flow rate for an injection of lean solvent into the contactor based, at least in part, on the pickup ratio.
