Apparatus comprising an absorber device provided with a plurality of sequentially adjacent sections for flowing a gas stream therethrough. A conduit infrastructure comprising a section configured to ingress, communica te with and egress from each section of the absorber device, and a recovery and regeneration section, is configured with a plurality of heat exchange and cooling equipment. A process wherein a liquid solvent provided with at least one chemical compound selected for reacting with the selected gaseous component, is counter-flowed against and commingled with the gas stream. The liquid solvent temperature is controllably manipulated between each section of the column to provide: (a) thermodynamic-driven mass transfer at the front e nd of the absorber device, and (b) kinetic-driven mass transfer at the back end of the absorber device. The heat generated during the recovery of the gaseou s component from the absorption liquid solvent system is recovered for use in regenerating solvent system.
