AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing natural gas decarbonization technologies suffer from problems such as high hydrocarbon loss, low product purity, complex processes, and high energy consumption, making it difficult to achieve decarbonization and CO2 purification with low hydrocarbon loss, high CO2 purity, low energy consumption, and avoidance of freezing and blockage risks.

Method used

The natural gas decarbonization process combines physical absorption and low-temperature extractive distillation. The raw gas is purified by physical absorption tower, and the components that cannot be accurately separated by physical absorption are separated by low-temperature distillation. CO2 and C2 components are separated by extractive distillation, which reduces hydrocarbon loss and avoids freezing blockage.

Benefits of technology

This improved CO2 removal rate, reduced regeneration energy consumption, decreased solvent circulation and equipment corrosion, and achieved a highly efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly natural gas decarbonization process, resulting in high-purity CO2 products.
