| 20090199712 | Method and Device for the Absorption of Acid Gas From Natural Gas - A method and a device for the absorption of pressurised natural gas containing at least hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide, using a physically active absorption agent. The natural gas containing acid gas is first conveyed to an absorption column, where it is directly contacted with the physical detergent, and the physical detergent absorbs the acid gas, leaving only a residue. The charged detergent is conveyed to a stripping column, the working pressure being further reduced. The residue of the released acid gas from the detergent is desorbed in said stripping column.

The acid gas leaving the first separator is conveyed to another absorption column, in which the part of the released acid gas containing predominately hydrogen sulphide is reabsorbed with regenerated detergent and mixed with the charged detergent from the first separator. The remaining acid gas not reabsorbed from the absorption column downstream of the first separator, is recovered as stripping gas. Said stripping gas is used in the stripping column for removing the hydrogen sulphide from the detergent supplied to the stripping column. The finely regenerated solvent is divided into two partial flows, one of which is conveyed to the absorption column downstream of the first separator stage while the other is conveyed to the absorption column in the flow of natural gas. | 08-13-2009 |
