Installation and method for treating a flow comprising hydrogen sulfide The invention relates to an installation and a method for treating hydrogen sulphide. In particular, the invention relates to an installation and a method comprising at least one system for oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to sulfur (S) and water (H.sub.2O) with a solid reagent and at least one oxidizing system with an agent for oxidizing the solid reagent present in the reduced state, wherein the system of oxidizing the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and the system for oxidizing the solid reagent, are so arranged that the hydrogen sulfide is not brought into contact with the agent oxidizing the solid reagent.

A device controls levels of carbon dioxide and water in a controlled environment. The device comprises a first electrode chamber, which receives an input fluid comprising first concentrations of carbon dioxide and water and is configured to deliver a first output fluid having concentrations of carbon dioxide and water lower than the first concentrations to a first environment, and a second electrode chamber having an outlet configured to deliver a second output fluid having third concentrations of carbon dioxide and water to a second environment. A reduction catalyst layer in the first electrode chamber reduces carbon dioxide and water in the input fluid to form ionic carrier species, an ion-transporting membrane is positioned between the first and second electrode chambers and comprises carrier species, and an oxidation catalyst layer in the second electrode chamber oxidizes the ionic carrier species to form carbon dioxide and water.
