Abstract: A process for treating an H2S- and CO2-comprising fluid stream, in which a) the fluid stream is treated in a first absorber at a pressure of 10 to 150 bar with a first substream of a regenerated H2S-selective absorbent to obtain a treated fluid stream and an H2S-laden absorbent; b) the H2S-laden absorbent is heated by indirect heat exchange with regenerated H2S-selective absorbent; c) the heated HS-laden absorbent is decompressed to a pressure of 1.2 to 10 bar in a low-pressure decompression vessel to obtain a first CO2-rich offgas and a partly regenerated absorbent; d) the partly regenerated absorbent is regenerated in a desorption column to obtain an H2S-rich offgas and regenerated absorbent; e) the H2S-rich offgas is fed to a Claus unit and the offgas from the Claus unit is fed to a hydrogenation unit to obtain hydrogenated Claus tail gas; f) the hydrogenated Claus tail gas and the first CO2-rich offgas are treated in a second absorber at a pressure of 1 to 4 bar with a second substream of the regenerated H2S-selective absorbent to obtain a second CO2-rich offgas and a second H2S-laden absorbent; and g) the second H2S-laden absorbent is guided into the first absorber. Also described is a plant suitable for performance of the process. The process is notable for a low energy requirement.

Abstract: A process for removing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from a fluid stream comprises a) an absorption step in which the fluid stream is contacted with an absorbent comprising an aqueous solution (i) of an amine of the general formula (I) in which R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; each R4 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; each R5 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; X is OH or NH(CR1R2R3); m is 2, 3, 4 or 5; n is 2, 3, 4 or 5; and o is 0 or 1; and optionally (ii) at least one tertiary amine, where the molar ratio of (i) to (ii) is greater than 0.05; wherein at least 90% of the hydrogen sulfide is removed from the fluid stream and selectivity for hydrogen sulfide over carbon dioxide is not greater than 8, wherein a CO2- and H2S-laden absorbent is obtained; b) a regeneration step in which at least a substream of the CO2- and H2S-laden absorbent is regenerated and a regenerated absorbent is obtained; and c) a recycling step in which at least a substream of the regenerated absorbent is recycled into the absorption step a). The process allows a high level of hydrogen sulfide removal with a simultaneously high coabsorption of carbon dioxide.
