A process for removing carbon dioxide or nitrogen from gas, especially natural gas. The process uses three membrane separation stages without compression between the second and third stages.

A process involving membrane-based gas separation and power generation, specifically for controlling carbon dioxide emissions from gas-fired power plants. The process includes a compression step, a combustion step, and an expansion / electricity generation step, as in traditional power plants. The process also includes a sweep-driven membrane separation step and a carbon dioxide removal or capture step. The carbon dioxide removal step is carried out on a portion of gas from the compression step.

A method is proposed for operating a plant for purifying a high-pressure gas mixture from easily permeating components, which plant comprises membrane gas separating units having a high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber with a selectively permeable membrane therebetween, in which method the low-pressure chamber of at least one membrane gas separating unit is continuously flushed with purified gas mixture (semi-finished product or product), wherein the pressure difference between the aforementioned chambers of the membrane gas separating unit and, likewise, the flow rate of the purified gas mixture used for flushing are maintained so that the amount of each easily permeating component in the product does not exceed the desired values. The proposed method makes it possible to purify a raw material (high-pressure gas mixture) from one or more easily permeating components simultaneously (in particular helium, hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans, carbon dioxide, water and / or heavy hydrocarbons), increase purification efficiency (i.e. the ratio between the total area of the selectively permeable membrane in the plant, the productivity of said membrane and the specific energy consumption of the gas separation process), and provide the possibility of using (treating or preparing) raw material with a higher content of easily permeating components.

The invention relates to the field of membrane gas separation. A method of removing components of gas mixtures which is based on passing the components of a gas mixture through a nanoporous membrane and subsequently selectively absorbing them with a liquid absorbent that is in contact with the nanoporous membrane, wherein to prevent the gas from getting into the liquid phase of the absorbent and the liquid phase of the absorbent from getting into the gas phase, a nanoporous membrane with homogeneous porosity (size distribution less than 50%) and a pore diameter in the range of 5-500 nm is used, and the pressure differential between the gas phase and the liquid absorbent is kept below the membrane bubble point pressure. An acid gas removal performance of more than 0.3 nm3 / (m2 hour) in terms of CO2 is achieved at a hollow-fiber membrane packing density of up to 3200 m2 / m3, which corresponds to a specific volumetric performance of acid gas removal of up to 1000 nm3 (m3 hour). The technical result is that of providing effective extraction of undesirable components from natural and process gas mixtures.
