What is the typical or optimal operating temperature for an amine based stripper that would be used to extract CO2? The fluid to be treated is a CO2 rich flue gas (with available oxygen, by the way). How low does this flue gas temperature have to be reduced before it could be passed through a contacting tower to extract the CO2? Is the temperature different for different amine types?

Thanks...
