Method for deacidifying a gas with a plurality of steps of placing in co-current contact with an absorbent solution

摘要

The process comprises cooling a liquid absorbent solution enriched in acidic compounds, contacting the feed gas with the liquid absorbent solution enriched in the acidic compounds in a first cocurrent contactor (C1), where the feed gas and the absorbent solution transverse, according to vertical and horizontal directions, the first contactor from an inlet to an outlet to produce gas depleted in the acidic compounds and the absorbent solution responsible in the acidic compounds, and contacting the gas depleted in acidic compounds with liquid absorbent solution in a second cocurrent contactor.

The contactors comprise a liner having a geometric area of greater than 400 m 2>/m 3>. The method further comprises circulating the gas in the contactors at a speed of greater than 2 m/s and 4 m/s, removing a portion of gas and the liquid absorbent solution from the outlet of one of the contactors, increasing the pressure of the portion of gas and the liquid absorbent solution, introducing the gas and the liquid absorbent solution at the inlet of the contactor, and regenerating the absorbent solution loaded with the acidic compounds so as to release the acidic compounds and to produce the absorbent solution or liquid absorbent.
