Patent NO-982490-D0 (NO)
Inventor: EIMER DAG ARNE
IPC: B01D3/30
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for desorption of one or more compounds from an absorbent solution where the absorbent solution is fed to the centre of one or more discs spinning around a hollow axle in a desorber, and that said solution flows in a film over the disc surface and leaving at the periphery of said disc and collected for optional re-entry at another disc. A heating medium is allowed to flow through a duct in the hollow axle while giving off heat to the disc surface causing a temperature in crease in the film resulting in desorption of the absorbate from the solution along with non-absorbate vapour evaporation which constitutes a stripping medium utilised for enhancing the desorption of the absorbate from the solution. The present invention further relates to a use of the method for desorption of acid gas as CO2 and/or H2S from an amine absorbent solution, for desorption of water from a glycol absorbent solution and for desorption of both acid gas, as CO2 and/or H2S, and water from a glycol absorbent solution.
