ENRICHED ACID GAS FOR SULFUR RECOVERY
A system of enriching acid gas for feeding a sulfur recovery unit includes a contactor configured to separate an acid gas stream into a carbon dioxide rich stream and a purified acid gas stream, where the acid gas stream includes hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons; a regenerator in fluid communication with the contactor such that the regenerator is configured to separate the purified acid gas stream to create a hydrogen sulfide rich stream and a hydrogen sulfide lean stream; and a recycle stream conduit fluidly coupled between the regenerator to the contactor and configured to supply at least a portion of the hydrogen sulfide rich stream from the regenerator to the contactor.
DEVICE FOR PRODUCING AND TREATING A GAS STREAM THROUGH AN AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED VOLUME OF LIQUID
The device for producing and treating a gas stream (F) includes an exchange enclosure (2) having at least a first discharge opening (2b) for a gas stream, means (3; 4) for supplying the enclosure with a liquid (L), means (3; 5) for discharging the liquid (L) contained in the exchange enclosure (2) and aeraulic means (6), which make it possible, during operation, to create, by means of suction or blowing, an incoming gas stream (F) coming from outside the exchange enclosure (2), so that said incoming gas stream (F) is introduced into the volume of liquid (V) contained in the exchange enclosure (2), and an outgoing gas stream (F), treated by direct contact with said volume of liquid, rises inside the exchange enclosure and is discharged out of the exchange enclosure (2) through the discharge opening (2b).
CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE SYSTEM AND SPECTROSCOPIC EVALUATION THEREOF
A chemical processing system for removing carbon dioxide from a gas mixture using a multicomponent amine-based scrubbing solution includes a spectroscopic evaluation system with a liquid contact probe for spectroscopic investigation, an energy source connected with the liquid contact probe to provide the spectroscopic stimulation energy to the probe, a spectrometer connected with the liquid contact probe to detect the spectroscopic response energy to the probe and to output spectral data corresponding to the spectroscopic response energy, and a machine learning spectral data analyzer connected to the spectrometer for evaluation of the spectral data to determine a concentration value for each of water, amine component and captured carbon dioxide in the scrubbing solution, the machine learning spectral data analyzer being trained for each such component over a corresponding trained concentration range, and optionally over a trained temperature range to provide a temperature-compensated concentration value.
CO2 recovery unit and CO2 recovery method
A CO.sub.2 recovery method includes: heating a CO.sub.2-absorbing solution that has absorbed CO.sub.2 from a gas, releasing the CO.sub.2 from the CO.sub.2-absorbing solution, and regenerating the CO.sub.2-absorbing solution, and at least one of: controlling a difference between an actual measured value and a target value of a recovery rate of the CO.sub.2 to be within a predetermined range; and controlling a difference between an actual measured value and a target value of a recovery amount of CO.sub.2 to be within a predetermined range, and controlling the CO.sub.2 recovery rate through a proportional calculation and an integration calculation based on the difference between the actual measured value and the target value of the CO.sub.2 recovery rate.
Carbon dioxide capturing apparatus, carbon dioxide capturing method, and amine compound capturing method
In accordance with an embodiment, a carbon dioxide capturing apparatus includes a first absorbing unit, a regeneration unit, a water washing capturing unit, and a pre-amine capturing unit. The first absorbing unit brings a gas containing carbon dioxide into contact with an absorbing liquid containing an amine compound, and discharges the absorbing liquid which has absorbed carbon dioxide as a rich liquid. The regeneration unit releases a carbon dioxide gas from the rich liquid sent from the first absorbing unit. The water washing capturing unit captures the amine compound entrained in a decarbonated treatment gas sent from the first absorbing unit. The pre-amine capturing unit receives part of the rich liquid from the first absorbing unit, and traps the amine compound entrained in the decarbonated treatment gas by bringing the decarbonated treatment gas from the first absorbing unit into countercurrent contact with the part of the rich liquid.
Portable carbon dioxide absorption system
Various embodiments of a portable carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption device that may remove excess CO2 from a closed environment are disclosed herein. The absorption device is reusable and configured for many environments.
A SYSTEM FOR SEPARATING HYDROGEN FROM A FEED GAS
Present disclosure discloses a system for separating hydrogen from feed gas. The system includes at least one compressor adapted to pressurize the feed gas to predefined pressure. One or more adsorber columns are fluidly coupled to the compressor and are adapted to receive the pressurized feed gas, where the adsorber columns include a body and an adsorber bed, which is disposed within the body.
