Abstract:
A method for cleaning a contaminated solvent used to treat a gas stream, for example a contaminated glycol or a contaminated amine stream, by vacuum evaporation using a mechanically-maintained horizontally-orientated thin film evaporator, where the contaminant material is recovered from the thin film in solvent-free form, as either a heavy organic material or as free flowing salts.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate surface is a substantially horizontal plane or is a cylinder where the axis of the cylinder is substantially horizontal, and wherein the thin film has a thickness between about 1 and about 5 mm, and wherein the thin film is mechanically maintained by repeatedly being contacted by wipers which provide additional contaminated solvent to maintain a film thickness and which move the film along the substrate surface.
