INSTALLATION FOR SEPARATION OF CO2 FROM GAS TURBINE FLUE GAS

摘要

Apparatus for separating carbon dioxide from flue gas, comprising a sea water supply member (35), a flue gas supply member (37), a plurality of turbulent contactors (31) and a gas/liquid separation vessel (33). Each turbulent contactor (31) comprises a housing (41), a sea water inlet (42) from the sea water supply member (35), a flue gas inlet (45) from the flue gas supply member (37), an outlet (46) leading to a venturi passage (47) and a tube (48) within the housing (41) extending from the outlet (46) back upstream. The tube (48) is perforated and/or spaced from the periphery of the outlet (46) and may define the outlet (46). Each venturi passage (47) extends into an elongate contact pipe (32) which communicates with the interior of the separation vessel (33). The separation vessel (33) has a cleaned gas outlet (38) and a used sea water outlet (39).
