Condensed rotational separation

Abstract

Condensed Rotational Separation is based on partial condensation of components of gas-gas mixtures. Condensation is induced by flash evaporation or pressure distillation. The rotational particle separator removes the micron sized particles formed by condensation from the gas. Yields and purities are enhanced by adding a next stage of liquid flash and relooping the gas to the first stage. A great improvement in separation performance, in both yields and purities, is achieved by allowance for operation of CRS within the vapour-liquid-solid region. Condensed rotational separation is shown to be an economically attractive process for upgrading sour gas fields contaminated with CO2 and/or H2S
