    摘要: This invention relates to the recovery of carbon dioxide (26) and hydrogen (3,24) concentrated form from shifted a synthesis gas stream comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide thereby generating a carbon dioxide stream that is sequestered or used for enhanced oil recovery and a hydrogen stream that is used as fuel for a power plant thereby generation electricity. In the process of the present invention a shifted synthesis gas stream is fed to a hydrogen selective membrane separation unit (M101) at a pressure of at least 50 bar gauge and the hydrogen rich permeate stream (3) is fed directly to the combustor of a gas turbine without any requirement to re-compress the hydrogen. The residual gas stream (carbon dioxide enriched stream) from the membrane separation unit is cooled using at least one, preferably, at least two external refrigeration stages (E-101, E-102, E-103, E-104) such that the hydrogen containing offgas (24) is also obtained at above the operating pressure of the combustor of the gas turbine.

    摘要: A method is described for use in the separation of carbon dioxide from a gas mixture comprising carbon dioxide. The method includes the steps of: (i) compressing and cooling the gas mixture using a compressor to form a two-phase mixture including liquid carbon dioxide (ii) separating a liquid carbon dioxide stream from the two-phase mixture; and (iii) recirculating at least a part of the liquid carbon dioxide stream and introducing the recirculated liquid stream into a process stream by recirculating separated liquid CO2 into an upstream process stream, cooling of the process stream can be obtained. By using the liquid stream, additional cooling is possible as cooling is affected by the evaporation of the liquid CO2. Thus the recirculated liquid can be used to reduce the temperature of the process stream.

    摘要: A process for separating a mixture of gases into a relatively condensable first component and a relatively non-condensable second component is provided. The first component comprises one or more gases selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, carbonyl sulphide and hydrogen sulphide and the second component one or more gases selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methane, ethane, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, oxygen and synthesis gas. The process itself comprises the following steps: (a) compressing and cooling a mixture of said first and second components in at least one compressor and at least one heat exchanger to a temperature and elevated pressure at which the first components condense and a two-phase gas-liquid mixture is formed; (b) separating the two phase mixture so formed into separate liquid first and gaseous second component fractions in a fractionation unit; (c) extracting residual first component from the separated gaseous second component fraction by scrubbing the second component at elevated pressure with a solvent (e.g. methanol) in a scrubber. In examples, the method further includes one or more steps of warming and expanding the gaseous second component fraction using at least one heat exchanger to exchange heat with a process stream and at least one turbo-expander capable of recovering mechanical work. The process described is highly energy efficient and is especially useful in hydrogen power plants, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) and for sweetening sour natural gas.

In examples, the process comprises the steps of: (a) feeding the gas stream to the compression and/or cooling system such that carbon dioxide in the gas stream condenses to form a two-phase stream; (b) passing the two-phase stream either directly or indirectly to a gas-liquid separator vessel and withdrawing a hydrogen rich vapor stream and a liquid CO2 stream containing dissolved H2S impurities from the separator vessel; (c) passing the liquid CO2 stream containing dissolved H2S impurities to an H2S recovery unit comprising an evaporator/condenser in which the CO2 and H2S are vaporized and an H2S absorber in which the gaseous H2S and CO2 are separated, wherein the two phase stream passed to the separator is at a pressure of from 80 bar to 400 bar. In some applications, the pressure of the H2S recovery unit is at least 30 bar. In a preferred example, residual CO2 in the hydrogen rich vapor stream is removed in an optional step by solvent extraction in a CO2 absorber most preferably in a configuration where the H2S and CO2 absorbers share the same (preferably methanol) solvent.
