Further, the first membrane separation device 20 is connected to the first retentate gas pipeline 22 through a first gas outlet.

[0024] In one embodiment, the first heat exchanger 12 is connected to the feed pipeline 10 and the first retentate gas pipeline 22, respectively. On the first retentate gas pipeline 22, the first heat exchanger 12 is arranged between the first membrane separation device 20 and the first energy recovery device 30; the first heat exchanger 12 is used to perform heat exchange between the first retentate gas in the first retentate gas pipeline 22 and the flue gas in the feed pipeline 10, so as to cool the flue gas to be treated by the first retentate gas; after the heat exchange, the temperature of the first retentate gas increases and becomes a gas with a higher temperature and pressure, which is conducive to energy recovery through the first energy recovery device 30.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first retentate gas can recover the heat of the compressed gas in the feed pipeline 10 through the first heat exchanger 12, and then enter the first energy recovery device 30 to perform work, which can realize the conversion of thermal energy and pressure energy into mechanical compression energy, and realize the recovery of more than 40% of the energy in the system.

[0026] In one embodiment, on the feed pipeline 10, the first heat exchanger 12 may be located between the booster 11 and the cooler 13. The first heat exchanger 12 may be an existing device, such as an existing gas-to-gas heat exchanger.

[0029] Furthermore, after the rotation and compression of the blades, the first permeate gas is pressurized, so that the high-pressure first permeate gas is discharged from the outlet of the first energy recovery device 30 and re-enters the first permeate gas pipeline 21. The energy of the first retentate gas is recovered and utilized by the first energy recovery device 30, so that a negative pressure condition can be formed to allow the first permeate gas to enter the first energy recovery device 30, and the first permeate gas can be further pressurized to push it into the subsequent operation device.

The capture method according to claim 8, wherein: Firstly, the first retentate gas and the flue gas to be treated are subjected to heat exchange treatment, and then the first retentate gas after the heat exchange treatment is expanded to perform work; and / or, The method comprises: subjecting the first permeate gas to membrane separation treatment to obtain a second retentate gas and a second permeate gas; as well as The second retentate gas is expanded through a second energy recovery device to perform work so that the second permeate gas enters the second energy recovery device under negative pressure, and the second permeate gas is pressurized in the second energy recovery device.

10. The capture method according to claim 9, wherein: exchanging heat between the second retentate gas after expansion and the first permeate gas after pressurization; and / or, The method comprises pre-treating the flue gas to be treated and then performing the membrane separation treatment, wherein the pre-treatment comprises pressurization treatment, heat exchange treatment and gas-liquid separation treatment.
