Abstract: In a method for separating a mixture containing carbon dioxide, the mixture is cooled in a heat exchanger and partially condensed and a first liquid is separated from the mixture in a first system operating at low temperature comprising at least one first phase separator and a gas from the first system is treated in a membrane system to produce a permeate and a non-permeate, the gas from the first system being divided into two portions, a first portion being sent to the membrane system without being heated and a second portion being heated to at least an intermediate temperature of the heat exchanger and then sent to the membrane system without being cooled.

Abstract: In a method for compressing a gas that is to be separated in a low-temperature CO2 separation unit using at least one partial condensation step and/or at least one distillation step, the gas that is to be separated has a variable composition and/or variable flow rate, the gas that is to be separated is compressed in a compressor to produce a compressed gas and the inlet pressure of the gas that is to be separated, entering the compressor, is modified according to the CO2 content and/or the flow rate of the gas that is to be separated so as to reduce the variations in volumetric flow rate of the gas that is to be separated entering the compressor.

The first flow enriched out of CO2 (6) resulting from the unit from adsorption (3) is sent towards means of homogenization (17), a such storage capacity or analogue, making it possible to attenuate the cyclic variations of flow, composition and/or gas pressure, then subjected to at least a stage of intermediate compression (7) before its entry in the cryogenic unit (9). The first gas enriched out of CO2 (6) outgoing by the unit by adsorption (3) contains between 40 and 95% of CO2, preferentially between 60 and 85% of CO2.
