Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for removing acid gases from fluids.
- the present invention further relates to the absorbent itself and its use.
- fluid flows occur which contain acid gases, such as C0 2 , H 2 S, S0 2 , CS 2 , HCN, COS or mercaptans, as impurities.
- These fluid streams can be, for example, gas streams (such as natural gas, synthesis gas from heavy oil or heavy residues, refinery gas or the partial oxidation of organic materials such as coal or petroleum, resulting reaction gases) or liquid or liquefied hydrocarbon streams (such as LPG (liquified petroleum gas) or NGL (natural gas liquids)).
- LPG liquid petroleum gas

- the chemical solvents include, in particular, the aqueous solutions of primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic amines or alkanolamines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), monomethylethanolamine (MMEA), diethylethanolamine (DEEA), triethanolamine (TEA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) technically proven.
- Primary and secondary amines can react with CO 2 to form carbamates.
- C0 2 with water can also form carbonates and bicarbonates and H 2 S with water sulfides and bisulfides. Due to the presence of primary or secondary amines, the equilibria are significantly shifted to the side of the ionic products, ie more C0 2 can be taken up in chemically bound form than in water.
- tertiary alkanolamines do not react directly with CO 2 since the amine is fully substituted. Rather, C0 2 is converted into bicarbonate in a slow reaction with water.

- a rough wash can be carried out with a pure relaxation circuit, the loaded absorbent being relaxed via a relaxation turbine and being gradually regenerated in a pre-relaxation column and a main relaxation column.
- the partial streams of the absorbent used in successive sub-steps of the absorption step have a decreasing load of acidic gas components.
- a method is particularly preferred in which the starting gas containing the acidic gas constituents is successively mixed with a first partial stream of the absorbent, which after partial regeneration in a flashing column and before stripping, and a second substream of the absorbent obtained after stripping is brought into contact.
- the absorption step can be carried out in two sub-steps, a coarse and a delicate wash, and the regeneration step can be carried out step by step by depressurization in an expansion turbine, a pre-expansion column and a main expansion column and a subsequent stripping, the partial flow for the coarse washing comes from the main relaxation column and the partial flow of the absorbent for the fine washing comes from the stripping.
- Processes with multi-stage absorption and regeneration with low-pressure relaxation and strippers are particularly preferred, as are the process variants described in EP-A 0 359 991 with multi-stage absorption, single- or multi-stage relaxation and strippers.
- the flash gas drawn off at the top of a flash column is compressed in a compressor and added to the starting gas to be purified in the first absorption stage.
- the absorbent according to the invention has a high loading capacity with acid gases, which can also be easily desorbed again. As a result, energy consumption and solvent circulation can be significantly reduced in the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a device in which the absorption stage is carried out in one stage and the relaxation stage in two stages.
- the feed gas is fed via line 1 into the lower area of the absorber 2.
- the absorber 2 is a column which is packed with packing elements in order to effect the mass and heat exchange.
- the absorbent which is regenerated absorbent with a low residual acid gas content, is fed via line 3 to the top of the absorber 2 in countercurrent to the feed gas.
- the gas depleted in acidic gases leaves the absorber 2 overhead (line 4).
- the absorbent enriched with acidic gases leaves the absorber 2 at the bottom via line 5 and is introduced into the upper region of the high-pressure expansion column 6, which is generally operated at a pressure above the C0 2 partial pressure in the the raw gas supplied to the absorber.
- the relaxation of the absorbent is generally carried out with the aid of Licher devices, such as a level control valve, a hydraulic turbine or a pump running in reverse. During the relaxation, most of the dissolved non-acidic gases and a small part of the acidic gases are released. These gases are discharged via line 7 from the high-pressure expansion column 6 overhead.
- the absorbent which is still loaded with the majority of the acid gases, leaves the high-pressure expansion column via line 8 and is heated in the heat exchanger 9, a small part of the acid gases being released.
- the heated absorbent is introduced into the upper region of a low-pressure expansion column 10, which is equipped with a packed packing in order to achieve a large surface area and thus to release the CO 2 and establish the equilibrium.
- the low-pressure expansion column 10 the major part of the C0 2 and the H 2 S are released almost completely by flashing. In this way, the absorbent is regenerated and cooled at the same time.
- a reflux condenser 11 with a collecting container 12 is provided in order to cool the released acid gases and to condense some of the steam.
- the majority of the acidic gas leaves the reflux condenser 11 via line 13.
- the condensate is pumped back to the top of the low-pressure expansion column 10 by means of a pump 14.
- the regenerated absorbent which still contains a small part of the CO 2 , leaves the low-pressure expansion column 10 at the bottom via line 15 and is applied to the top of the absorber 2 by means of pump 16 via line 3.
- Fresh water can be fed in via line 17 to compensate for the water discharged with the gases.
- FIG 2 shows schematically an apparatus for performing the method according to the invention using a two-stage absorber and a two-stage relaxation.
- the absorber comprises the raw absorber 1 and the pure absorber 2.
- the feed gas is fed via line 3 into the lower region of the raw absorber 1 and treated in countercurrent with regenerated absorbent, which is applied to the top of the raw absorber 1 via line 4 and still contains some acidic gases.
- regenerated absorbent is added via line 5, which essentially no longer contains acid gases.
- Both parts of the absorber contain a packing to effect the mass and heat exchange between raw gas and absorbent.
- the treated gas leaves the pure absorber 2 overhead (line 6).
- the absorbent loaded with acid gases is discharged at the bottom of the raw absorber 1 and via line 7 fed into the upper region of the high-pressure expansion column 8.
- the column 8 is equipped with a packing and is operated at a pressure which is between the pressure in the absorber and the subsequent low-pressure expansion column 11.
- the absorption medium, which is loaded with acidic gases is expanded with the aid of conventional devices, for example a level control valve, a hydraulic turbine or a pump running in reverse.
- the high pressure release releases most of the dissolved non-acidic gases as well as a small part of the acidic gases. These gases are discharged via line 9 from the high-pressure expansion column 8 overhead.
- the absorbent which is still loaded with the majority of the acid gases, leaves the high-pressure expansion column 8 via line 10 and is fed into the upper region of the low-pressure expansion column 11, where most of the C0 2 and H 2 S through Flashes are released.
- the absorbent is regenerated in this way.
- the low pressure expansion column 11 is equipped with a packing in order to provide a large surface for the heat and mass transfer.
- a reflux condenser 12 with a condensate tank 13 is provided in order to cool the acid gases emerging from the top of the low-pressure expansion column 11 and to condense some of the steam.
- the uncondensed gas which contains the majority of the acid gases, is discharged via line 14.
- the condensate from the condensate tank 13 is fed via pump 15 to the top of the low-pressure expansion column 11.
- the partially regenerated absorbent which still contains some of the acid gases, leaves the low-pressure expansion column 11 at the bottom via line 16 and is split into two partial streams.
- the larger partial flow is fed via pump 17 and line 4 to the top of the raw absorber 1, whereas the smaller part is heated via line 18 by means of pump 19 in the heat exchanger 20.
- the heated absorbent is then fed into the upper region of the stripper 21, which is equipped with a pack.
- the majority of the absorbed CO 2 and H 2 S is stripped out by means of steam, which is generated in the reboiler 22 and fed into the lower region of the stripper 21.
- the absorbent leaving the stripper 21 at the bottom via line 23 has only a low residual content of acid gases.
- An absorbent is suitable for carrying out the process according to the invention which, based on the total weight of the composition, contains 40% by weight of methyldiethanolamine and so much piperazine that the weight ratio of methyldiethanolamine to piperazine is 12.5.
- the absorbent according to the invention has a reduced energy requirement and solvent circulation in comparison to an absorbent which, however, contains the same amount of piperazine for the same methyldiethanolamine content that the methyldiethanolamine-piperazine weight ratio is 16.
