Patent number: 8641802Abstract: From the CO2-containing stream of process gas obtained in a process for the treatment of a CO2-containing stream of process gas, which is obtained in the production of pure synthesis gas from raw gas in the partial oxidation of heavy oils, petroleum coke or wastes, or in the gasification of coal, or when processing natural gas or accompanying natural gas, CO2 is removed physisorptively or chemisorptively, and the solvent loaded with CO2 is expanded to a lower pressure for the desorption of CO2. In order to generate CO2 as pure as possible, the contaminated CO2 is condensed to at least 60 bar[a] or below its critical temperature to at least 70 bar[a], and the impurities contained in the liquid CO2 are removed by stripping with gaseous CO2 guided in counterflow.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2008Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: LURGI GmbHInventors: Ulrich Koss, Manfred Meyer, Alexander Schriefl

Patent number: 7461521Abstract: The invention relates to a system unit for desorbing carbon dioxide and other impurities from highly pressurized methanol. Said system unit comprises at least one or more expansion vessels arranged in succession, at least one heat exchanger, and at least one liquid/gas separator. The inventive system unit contains: a) a line (1) through which the intensely cooled methanol leaving expansion vessel (C) is introduced into the heat exchanger (E) from underneath, and; b) a line (2), though which the heated methanol is drawn out of the heat exchanger (E) from the top, and which serves to connect said heat exchanger to a liquid/gas separator inside of which the remaining carbon dioxide still contained in the methanol is desorbed and separated out to the greatest possible extent. This system unit enables the cold due to evaporation, said cold resulting during the desorption of carbon dioxide, to be obtained inside a heat exchanger and constitutes an important cold energy source for carrying out absorption.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2003Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Lurgi AGInventors: William Davey, Manfred Meyer

Patent number: 7097671Abstract: A methanol/water scrubbing solution containing colloidal metal sulfides formed from metal carbonyls and resulting from the scrubbing of industrial gases, such as synthesis gas, is subjected to agglomeration of the metal sulfides before the scrubbing solution to be separated enters the separating column which separates the methanol from the water containing precipitated metal sulfides. The agglomeration is carried out in a precipitation vessel and the scrubbing liquid is diluted before it enters the precipitation vessel. The result is minimal encrustation of the trays or other parts of the cleaning plant for the scrubbing solution.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2004Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Lurgi AGInventors: Manfred Meyer, Ulrich Wagner, Hans Kammerer
