Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing hydrogen sulphide and other acidic gas components from pressurized technical gases by means of a physical detergent and for obtaining sulphur from hydrogen sulphide by using a Claus system. The hydrogen sulphide and the other acidic gas components are removed in an absorbent manner from the physical detergent, the physical detergent undergoes multi-step regeneration, said multi-step regeneration comprising at least one device for CO enrichment, a device for H2S enrichment, a device for CO2 stripping and a device for thermal regeneration. The various regeneration steps consist of various pressure steps and have a lower pressure than that of the absorption. A hydrogen sulphide rich Claus gas is withdrawn from one of the regeneration steps and is guided to a Claus system where sulphur is produced. The residual gas exiting from the Claus system is hydrated and is condensed under pressure, corresponding to one of the regeneration steps. The condensed residual gas is guided into said device which is used for CO enrichment. Said device for CO enrichment can be embodied as a flash column.

Abstract: A head unit (1) is inverted so that an outflow port (9) is in the lowest position. Because the top wall (7c) of the buffer tank (5) slopes downwards towards the outflow port (9), all remaining cleaning fluid that was introduced during manufacture is removed. Also, a notch (8b) is provided in the bottom end of an ink introduction port (8). The notch (8b) faces towards the outflow port (9) so that bubbles in the ink exit from the notch (8b) and are guided towards the outflow port (9). The head unit (1) is shipped while the buffer tank (5) is filled with preservation fluid that has high wettability and any openings to the outside air are closed off with covers. When the head unit (1) is used, the preservation fluid is sucked by a purging device and then ink, which has a high affinity for the preservation fluid, is smoothly introduced. Also, the inner surface of the filters (11) are treated to increase the wettability by ink after the filters (11) are fixed to the bottom lid (5a). Afterwards the bottom lid (5a) is fixed to the top lid (7c) to form the buffer tank (5). <IMAGE>
