PRODUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM SYNTHESIS GAS

摘要

The present invention provides a series of processing steps to remove carbon dioxide from synthesis gas. The syngas exiting a hydrogen sulfide absorber is first compressed, subjected to a dehydration step and a low temperature liquefaction and separation to remove carbon dioxide. The high pressure syngas then continues on to a carbon dioxide absorber for carbon dioxide removal. The system can operate with lower solvent rates and equipment sizes compared to prior art systems.
