ABSTRACT:
A gas absorber for removing at least one gaseous component from a flowing gas stream by contacting the gas stream with a lean liquid stream to absorb at least a portion of the gaseous component to produce a rich liquid stream comprising the gaseous component and a flowing gas stream having a reduced concentration of the gaseous component which absorber comprises: (a) a double wall forming an annulus having a means for restricting fluid flow into the bottom of the gas absorber from the bottom of the annulus and a means for passing fluid out of an upper section of the annulus into the gas absorber; (b) an inlet for the lean liquid stream having a locus in the upper end of the gas absorber; (c) an inlet for the flowing gas stream; (d) an outlet for the rich liquid stream having a locus in the lower end of the gas absorber; (e) an outlet for the flowing gas stream having a reduced concentration of the gaseous component; and (f) at least one inlet communicating with the lower end of the annulus which inlet is used to introduce a lean liquid stream at least a portion of which flows upwardly through the annulus and overflows from the top of the annulus and thereby protecting at least a portion of the outer wall from contact with the flowing gas stream.
