20130055891 | METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR TREATING CO2-RICH SMOKE - The invention relates to a method for treating a gas stream comprising combustion fumes containing CO2 in an initial proportion, water vapor, one or more volatile acid compounds, and one or more additional impurities selected from among oxygen, nitrogen and argon, comprising the steps of: i) compressing the gas stream to a final pressure of 1 bar to 74 bar absolute; ii) cooling the gas stream to a temperature of around −10° C. to around −130° C. and eliminating at least one additional impurity; and iii) recovering a CO2-enriched gas stream containing a final proportion of CO2 greater than the initial proportion of CO2 in the stream to be treated. In addition, the method comprises, prior to step i), a step of pre-drying the stream for removing therefrom at least a portion of the water vapor which it contains. | 03-07-2013 |
20130139542 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE - The invention relates to an apparatus for producing carbon dioxide-rich liquid, which includes a separation unit including a column for physically washing with a solvent and means for cooling a fluid of the separation unit, and a unit for compressing and liquefying a carbon dioxide-rich gas derived from the separation unit, including means for cooling the gas upstream and/or downstream from the compression operation, a single refrigerating cycle using carbon dioxide as the refrigerant, which is suitable for providing frigories to the means for cooling the fluid of the separation unit and to the means for cooling the gas upstream and/or downstream from the compression operation, and means for sending a portion of the liquid from the liquefaction unit to the refrigerating cycle. | 06-06-2013 |
20130160488 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR DRYING AND COMPRESSING A CO2-RICH STREAM - A process for compressing a CO2-rich fluid containing water. The CO2-rich fluid is compressed in a compressor; upstream of the compression step, an antifreeze is mixed with the CO2-rich fluid containing water. The CO2-rich fluid containing antifreeze is cooled, water is separated from the cooled fluid and the water-depleted cooled fluid is compressed in the compressor, wherein the CO2-rich fluid containing water is sent to a scrubbing column fed, preferably at the top, with a water/antifreeze mixture, where it cools and is separated from the water, the water-depleted cooled fluid is extracted from the top of the column; a water/antifreeze mixture in the column is extracted at a level below the top; the mixture is cooled using the refrigeration from an apparatus for cooling and/or purifying the cooled fluid compressed in the compressor and the fluid is returned to the top of the column. | 06-27-2013 |
20130269387 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE SEPARATION OF AIR BY CRYOGENIC DISTILLATION - An apparatus and process for separating air by cryogenic distillation includes a heat exchanger, a column system having at least one cryogenic distillation column, a conduit for supplying the column system with cooled air from the heat exchanger, a storage tank, a conduit for removing a liquid from the column system and sending it to the storage tank, at least one pump, at least one conduit for sending pumped liquid from the outlet of the or each pump to the heat exchanger, at least one conduit connected to the outlet of the pump or at least one outlet of at least one pump and to a column of the column system, said conduit passing directly to the column without passing via the storage tank. | 10-17-2013 |
20130299337 | METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR PURIFYING A GAS STREAM - The invention relates to a method for compressing at least two gas streams by means of a single compressor that does not support a fluctuation in flow rate and/or pressure above a critical percentage, said method being characterized in that at least one of the gas streams is fed into a buffer space before being fed into the single compressor. | 11-14-2013 |
