  • HEAT-INTEGRATED TRANSFORMATIVE CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE PROCESS
    Publication number: 20220379259
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an absorber having a first packing section, a second packing section and a third packing section. The first packing segment includes a first structured packing, having a first specific surface area SA1, the second packing segment includes a second structured packing, having a second specific surface area SA2, and the third packing segment includes a third structured packing, having a third specific surface area SA3 where SA1<SA2<SA3. The structured packing in the various packing segment may be periodically interrupted with one or more layers of random packing.

  • Apparatus and method for recovering an amine solvent from an acid gas stream
    Patent number: 11207634
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for recovering an amine solvent from an acid gas stream. The apparatus includes a water wash recovery column, a nozzle for spraying water wash and an amine nucleation agent into the water wash recovery column and an inlet port for introducing acid gas into the water wash recovery column adjacent the lower end thereof. The method includes the steps of treating the acid gas stream in the water wash recovery column with a counter-current flow of water wash in an amine nucleation agent, discharging treated acid gas from an upper end of the water wash recovery column and collecting water wash, amine nucleation agent and entrained amine solvent from the acid gas stream and a sump at a lower end of the water wash recovery column.
