Hello,
I have a gas stream that has 12% CO2 in it. I need to knock it down to pipeline quality (2%). The recommended method based on the GPSA is to use Amine. However it has been requested that I try to use a physical solvent. I dont know if it is even possible to do so. Can anyone point me to a reference that would indicate the benefirs of one versus the other. I know that with a physical solvent you can sometimes lose some of the volume of the gas product and with and an amine unit is more costly than a simple scrubber. Also, I have heard that a Glycol-Amine process would be a great solution. I have to create a unit for dehy so if I could do both at once that would be better. Any references on that would be great.
Thanks in advance for the attention.
