A method of removing acid gases from raw gas is disclosed in which the raw gas is supplied to an absorption column where it is contacted with a physical absorption agent, having a boiling point lower than 100° C. at atmospheric pressure, under elevated operating pressure to load, the physical absorption agent with acid gases and usable gases and then the physical absorption agent loaded with acid gases and usable gases is driven from the absorption column at its sump while drawing off at the head of the absorption column a purified top gas containing up to a few ppm of acid-gas components. Following the absorption, the physical absorption agent undergoes stripping to remove usable gases, and regeneration to remove the acid gases as well as to provide a regenerated physical absorbent which may be used to treat additional raw gas. |
