  • Patent number: 9285163
    Abstract: In a cooling and compressing process, a wet feed gas (1) that is rich in carbon dioxide is scrubbed with water and with an antifreeze agent in a column (3) in order to produce a flow of gas that is rich in carbon dioxide, water-depleted and cooled, the flow of gas rich in carbon dioxide is compressed in a compressor (20) and a liquid rich in carbon dioxide (18) is vaporized in order to cool the water and antifreeze agent before sending them to the scrubbing operation, it being possible for the liquid to originate from an external source.

  • Patent number: 9234698
    Abstract: A process for compressing a CO2-rich fluid containing water. The CO2-rich fluid is compressed in a compressor; upstream of the compression step, an antifreeze is mixed with the CO2-rich fluid containing water. The CO2-rich fluid containing antifreeze is cooled, water is separated from the cooled fluid and the water-depleted cooled fluid is compressed in the compressor, wherein the CO2-rich fluid containing water is sent to a scrubbing column fed, preferably at the top, with a water/antifreeze mixture, where it cools and is separated from the water, the water-depleted cooled fluid is extracted from the top of the column; a water/antifreeze mixture in the column is extracted at a level below the top; the mixture is cooled using the refrigeration from an apparatus for cooling and/or purifying the cooled fluid compressed in the compressor and the fluid is returned to the top of the column.

  • Patent number: 9028794
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen, with reduced carbon dioxide emissions, from a hydrocarbon mixture. In said method, the hydrocarbon mixture is reformed so as to produce a synthetic gas that is cooled, then treated in a shift reactor so as to be enriched with H2 and CO2. Optionally dried, said mixture is treated in a PSA hydrogen purification unit in order to produce hydrogen. The residue is treated by means of partial condensation with a view to capturing CO4 before said residue is sent as fuel to reforming.
