    摘要: A method of separating impurities from a natural gas stream. CO2 and H2S are separated from the natural gas stream in a membrane separation system, thereby creating a partially-treated gas stream and a permeate gas stream, both of which are at a lower temperature than the natural gas stream. The partially-treated gas stream is contacted with a first lean solvent stream in a first contactor to separate H2S from the partially-treated gas stream, thereby producing a first rich solvent stream and a fully-treated gas stream. The permeate gas stream is contacted with a second lean solvent stream in a second contactor to separate H2S therefrom to produce a second rich solvent stream and a CO2 gas stream. H2S and CO2 are removed from the first and second rich solvent streams, thereby producing the first and second lean solvent streams.
