A dehydration system comprising: an absorber configured to produce a dry carbon dioxide (CO 2) gas, a carry-over solvent and a water rich solvent stream from an input stream of wet CO 2 gas and from an input stream of pure solvent; a gas exit knock-out drum coupled in flow communication with the absorber for receiving and separating the carry-over solvent and the dry CO 2 gas discharged from the absorber, the knock-out drum producing separate streams of the carry-over solvent and the dry CO 2 gas; a gas inlet knock-out drum coupled in flow communication with a gas inlet, a water discharge and the absorber; a first mixer configured to mix the carry-over solvent from the knock-out drum with rich solvent stream from the absorber to produce a rich solvent stream; a reflux coil for receiving the rich solvent stream and configured to heat the rich solvent stream; a flash drum coupled in flow communication with the reflux coil to receive the heated rich solvent stream, the flash drum configured to produce flash gas stream and a flashed rich solvent stream; a gas stripping column arranged to receive the flash gas stream and an input stream of inert gas, said column being arranged to produce a first overhead stream and a pure solvent stream; a stripper arranged to receive the flashed rich solvent stream and the first overhead stream, said stripper being arranged to produce a second overhead stream and a stream of stripped solvent, wherein the reflux coil is located within said stripper; and a reboiler arranged to receive the stream of stripped solvent, said reboiler being arranged to produce a vapor-liquid stream in flow communication with said stripper and a semi-lean solvent stream in flow communication with said column, wherein said stripper and said column are configured to strip the flashed rich solvent stream with the flash gas stream and the input stream of inert gas to produce the pure solvent stream, wherein the dehydration system is arranged to channel the pure solvent stream into the absorber. an absorber configured to produce a dry carbon dioxide (CO 2) gas, a carry-over solvent and a water rich solvent stream from an input stream of wet CO 2 gas and from an input stream of pure solvent; a gas exit knock-out drum coupled in flow communication with the absorber for receiving and separating the carry-over solvent and the dry CO 2 gas discharged from the absorber, the knock-out drum producing separate streams of the carry-over solvent and the dry CO 2 gas; a gas inlet knock-out drum coupled in flow communication with a gas inlet, a water discharge and the absorber; a first mixer configured to mix the carry-over solvent from the knock-out drum with rich solvent stream from the absorber to produce a rich solvent stream; a reflux coil for receiving the rich solvent stream and configured to heat the rich solvent stream; a flash drum coupled in flow communication with the reflux coil to receive the heated rich solvent stream, the flash drum configured to produce flash gas stream and a flashed rich solvent stream; a gas stripping column arranged to receive the flash gas stream and an input stream of inert gas, said column being arranged to produce a first overhead stream and a pure solvent stream; a stripper arranged to receive the flashed rich solvent stream and the first overhead stream, said stripper being arranged to produce a second overhead stream and a stream of stripped solvent, wherein the reflux coil is located within said stripper; and a reboiler arranged to receive the stream of stripped solvent, said reboiler being arranged to produce a vapor-liquid stream in flow communication with said stripper and a semi-lean solvent stream in flow communication with said column, wherein said stripper and said column are configured to strip the flashed rich solvent stream with the flash gas stream and the input stream of inert gas to produce the pure solvent stream, wherein the dehydration system is arranged to channel the pure solvent stream into the absorber.
