The easiest and most robust way to answer this question is to look at your ProMax model. With MDEA, you do not want to go above 0.5 rich loading. Since the column was designed to function between 30-100%, your trays should be fine. You also want to make sure you do not invert the temperature profile in your stripper. Monitor the overhead temperature of the stripper. Be sure that does not drop.
Another note is that as the circulation rate decreases, you may run into a rich CO2 pinch in the absorber. That should be monitored using the ProMax model. If you are pinched on the rich end, you may slip a lot more CO2 than previously designed. That could be good or bad.
I have seen many amine units which have seriously corroded their plant by trying to guess these operating conditions. You need to be very careful about reducing the reboiler duty. There is no excuse to operating in the dark. Use the model to help you find the optimum. All of our suggestions are based on our experience with plants we have seen. Your plant is different and deserves to be evaluated as such.
