APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING A GAS STREAM

摘要

An apparatus and method are described for processing of a source gas and for removal of a target gas from a source gas. The apparatus has an absorption system having a first containment structure defining a first process volume for containment of a gas phase and an absorbent liquid phase and a regeneration system fluidly downstream of the absorption system having a second containment structure defining a second process volume for containment of a gas phase and an absorbent liquid phase including a heating means to heat the liquid phase. An ultrasound transducer system is provided in association with one or both of the first containment structure or the second containment structure such as to apply in use ultrasonic vibration to a part of the said first containment structure and / or second containment structure and thus to apply in use ultrasonic vibration to the contents of a part of the first process volume and / or second process volume as the case may be.
