The flow sheet must represent the complete process in detail taking care of all process equipment. ASPEN HYSYS simulation software was used to simulate the process, the models of the process was simulated using MATLAB. The concentration of the atmospheric CO 2 was found to having been increasing steadily and has risen up to 35% since the Industrial Revolution. This rate, at which the concentration of CO 2 is increasing, it is unlikely to slow down if no steps are taken in this regard. This research focuses on the design of CO 2 absorption design, which covers the distillation design of a washer (to remove more acidic acid) (such as SO 2 and CO 2 ). This design focus on the unit component required in the CO 2 capture and storage, this equipment includes absorption of CO 2 into MEA and a stripper for the distillation process in order to separate the CO 2 from other component, whereas the mini component design is heating exchanger, coolers, heaters, compressor and cromps. The design concepts as well as the model of the different components is well described in the article of conceptual design and model approach of an amine based on CO 2 capture. If the concept projected in this research is adopted their tendency that the rate of CO 2 emission will be under control and the environment will be saved for mankind and the vegetation.
