Embodiment Construction
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of stripping acid gases from an absorption medium and / or adsorption medium using alcohol is provided. Any suitable alcohol can be used in the present invention. For example, short chain alcohols such as C 1 -C 6 or C 1 -C 4 Alcohols can be used herein. Exemplary alcohols include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, and combinations thereof.
[0025] While not intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the present invention can perform stripping at lower temperatures than conventional stripping operations using steam due to the evaporation of the stripping solvent at lower temperatures. This saves energy and improves the efficiency of medium (absorbent and / or adsorbent) regeneration. Furthermore, due to the lower operating temperature, the present invention can use different materials in the construction of equipment for stripping operations. Such materials may, for example, be lighter and / or le...
