PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING CO (ARROW ALARM) 2 (ARROW DOWN) AND, IF APPLICABLE H (ARROW ALARM) 2 (ARROW DOWN) FROM GAS

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for removing CO2 and possibly H2S from a gas containing CO2 and possibly H2S by means of an absorption fluid, wherein the gas containing CO2 and possibly H2S is treated in an absorption zone with the absorption fluid, the treated gas is extracted from the absorption zone, the absorption fluid laden with CO2 and possibly H2S is then regenerated by expanding the absorption fluid laden with CO2 and possibly H2S in one or more expansion stages and extracting an expansion gas at the top of the first expansion stage or, in the case of more than one expansion stages, at the top of at least one of the first to penultimate expansion stages and feeding, if desired, the partially regenerated absorption fluid obtained from the last expansion stage to a stripping zone for further regeneration, at least one acid gas stream containing the CO2 and possibly H2S being extracted from the regeneration and the regenerated absorption fluid being recycled into the absorption zone, wherein a part stream of fully or partially regenerated absorption fluid is fed to at least one of the expansion stages, from which the expansion gas is extracted, at a point above the feed of the absorption fluid which is to be expanded.
