    This document discusses modeling of formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde condensate (UFC) production in absorption columns. It summarizes that modern tools were used to model the absorption process using up-to-date materials and reaction data. The model predictions for formalin production were validated against experimental data. For UFC production, reactions including methylolation, dissolving, Cannizzaro, and neutralization were modeled, and results matched independent measurements from typical plants. The simulator allows inexpensive evaluation of alternative scenarios to optimize formaldehyde plant operations.
