The proposed invention relates to a gas/liquid contacting vessel (100) for treatment of a gas stream at varying mass flow rates, said vessel comprising at least two distinct gas/liquid contacting compartments (101a, 101 b) separated from each other by a substantially vertical partition (102), each compartment having a gas inlet (104a, 104b) and a liquid outlet (110a, 110b) near a bottom end thereof and a gas outlet (106a, 106b) and a liquid inlet (108a, 108b) near a top end thereof, and a mass transfer device (111a, 111b) arranged between said bottom end and top end, wherein one of said compartments is operable for gas/liquid contacting independently of another of said compartments. The proposed invention further relates to a flue gas treatment system for removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from a flue gas using a liquid absorbent and to a power plant comprising such a gas/liquid contacting vessel or flue gas treatment system. |
