ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a system unit for desorbing carbon dioxide and other impurities from highly pressurized methanol. Said system unit comprises at least one or more expansion vessels arranged in succession, at least one heat exchanger, and at least one liquid/gas separator. The inventive system unit contains: a) a line (1) through which the intensely cooled methanol leaving expansion vessel (C) is introduced into the heat exchanger (E) from underneath, and; b) a line (2), though which the heated methanol is drawn out of the heat exchanger (E) from the top, and which serves to connect said heat exchanger to a liquid/gas separator inside of which the remaining carbon dioxide still contained in the methanol is desorbed and separated out to the greatest possible extent. This system unit enables the cold due to evaporation, said cold resulting during the desorption of carbon dioxide, to be obtained inside a heat exchanger and constitutes an important cold energy source for carrying out absorption.
