  • Acid gas removal process by absorbent solution comprising amine compounds
    Patent number: 9834734
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for deacidising a non-aqueous feed comprising one of H2S, CO2, COS, CS2, disulphides and/or mercaptans, comprising a. an absorption step contacting the feed in countercurrent with an aqueous absorbent solution, forming a product reduced in the acid compounds and a liquid absorbent solution enriched with acid compounds, b. a regeneration step treating the enriched solution from step a) to release acid compound, thereby forming a lean absorbent solution and a stream containing the acid compound, and c. recycling at least part of the lean solution from step b) to step a), characterised in that step a) is performed at a pressure of at least 5.
    Type: Grant
