In order to create an energy-efficient treatment device for treating a exhaust stream containing carbon monoxide, the treatment device comprises the following: a conversion device (140) for converting carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, the energy released in said conversion process being used for supplying a thermal energy source and/or electricity; a purification device (124) for purifying the exhaust stream to be fed to the conversion device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of emission control equipment for boilers, heaters, kilns, or other flue gas-, or combustion gas-, generating devices (e.g., those located at power plants, processing plants, etc.) and, in particular to a new and useful method and apparatus for reducing and/or eliminating various liquid discharges from one or more emission control equipment devices (e.g., one or more wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) units). In another embodiment, the method and apparatus of the present invention is designed to reduce and/or eliminate the amount of liquid waste that is discharged from a WFGD unit by subjecting the WFGD liquid waste to one or more drying processes, one or more spray dryer (or spray dry) absorber processes, and/or one or more spray dryer (or spray dry) evaporation processes.

Abstract:
There is provided an exhaust gas treatment system including a CO 2 recovery unit with further enhanced energy efficiency. An exhaust gas treatment system (1) of the present invention includes: a CO 2 recovery unit (10) including a CO 2 absorption column (11), an absorbing solution regeneration column (16), and a reboiler (21); and an exhaust gas heat exchanger (5) provided on a gas upstream side of the CO 2 recovery unit (10). Heat exchange is performed between process condensate discharged from the CO 2 absorption column (11) and steam condensate discharged from the reboiler (21) in a heat exchanger (22). The heated process condensate is fed to the absorbing solution regeneration column (16). Heat exchange is performed between the cooled steam condensate and exhaust gas in the exhaust gas heat exchanger (5) so that the steam condensate is heated while the exhaust gas is cooled.
Abstract:
In a chemical plant 100 including a carbon dioxide recovery unit 10 and a urea plant 11, the carbon dioxide recovery unit 10 treats combustion exhaust gas from a boiler B to separate and recover carbon dioxide. Low-pressure steam 33 generated in the urea plant 11 is supplied to the carbon dioxide recovery unit 10 as a heat source for its regeneration tower reboiler. Carbon dioxide 22 recovered in the carbon dioxide recovery unit 10 is sent to an EOR facility, a storage facility, and the like outside the plant. Thus, the low-pressure steam generated in the urea plant 11 is effectively used as a heat source for the carbon dioxide recovery unit 10.
Abstract:
A process is specified for processing a gas stream, especially for processing a natural gas stream, in which the combustion of the gas stream is preceded by removal of hydrogen sulphide from the gas stream in a first absorber (3) by means of an absorption medium (5), the processed gas stream which has been freed of hydrogen sulphide is combusted in a combustion unit (9), the carbon dioxide present in the offgas of the combusted gas stream after the combustion is removed in a second absorber (17) by means of an absorption medium (5), and the hydrogen sulphide removed and the carbon dioxide removed are separated from the absorption medium (5) for regeneration of the latter in at least one desorber (27). In this process, the removal of the hydrogen sulphide from the gas stream and the removal of the carbon dioxide from the offgas are effected using the same absorption medium (5). Additionally specified is a corresponding apparatus for processing of a gas stream, in which the first absorber (3) and the second absorber (17) are connected to one another in the same flow system for exchange of absorption medium (5).
