Claim Text:
1. An integrated process for the capture of CO 2 , said process comprising capturing CO 2 emitted by fumes exiting from the regeneration zone of a catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, which unit treats a vacuum distillate or atmospheric residue type hydrocarbon cut, by subjecting said fumes to amine treatment in an amine treatment unit (AMN) to eliminate CO 2 therefrom, producing HP steam by cooling fumes exiting from the regeneration zone introducing said HP steam in a first counter-pressure turbine driving a regenerative air blower (MAB) of the FCC unit; and in a second counter-pressure turbine, driving a cracked gas compressor (WGC); and using a resulting LP steam to regenerate amine in the amine treatment unit (AMN).
