A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

Methods for applying ultra-clean ammonia-based desulfurization technology in carbon capture process. A flue gas, after ultra-clean ammonia-based desulfurization, may be directly fed into a carbon capture device for subsequent processing to realize ultra-clean emissions and the integration of desulfurization and decarbonization. This may significantly reduce the investment and operating costs for carbon capture.

The invention relates to a process for removing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from a feed gas stream. H2S in the feed gas stream is converted to elemental sulfur in a Claus unit. At least a part of the gas stream obtained is contacted with an aqueous lean absorbing medium in an absorption zone at a pressure between 0.9 and 2 bara. The aqueous lean absorbing medium used comprises one or more amines chosen from: a polyamine in the absence of tertiary amine functionalities having a pKa sufficient to neutralize carbamic acid, the polyamine having at least one primary amine functionality having a pKa smaller than 10.0 at 25 C., a polyamine in the absence of tertiary amine functionalities having a pKa sufficient to neutralize carbamic acid, the polyamine having at least one secondary amine functionality having a pKa for each sorbing nitrogen smaller than 10.0 at 25 C. The process is improved as compared to a process involving Claus off-gas treatment with (activated) MDEA. Effective CO2 removal is achieved while at the same time a simplified line-up with less equipment can be used.
