The efficiency of a limestone flue gas scrubber depends on such a large number of coupled parameters that their influence on the absorption cannot be sufficiently investigated using only experimental measurements in pilot or full‐scale plants. A systematic and cost‐effective optimization of the highly developed technology used today is only possible with the support of a simulation model that is based on fundamental scientific and engineering principles containing a small number of physically well‐defined parameters.
