Abstract
A process and apparatus for stripping a gas from a gas-rich liquid. The apparatus includes a desorption unit () to desorb a gas from the gas-rich liquid to form a first product stream () including the gas and a vapor, and a second product stream () including a gas-lean liquid. The desorption unit () includes a gas-rich liquid inlet (), a first product stream outlet, and a second product stream outlet. The apparatus further includes at least one of a membrane condenser () and/or a membrane (evaporator). The membrane condenser () includes a membrane interface () permeable to the vapor through which vapor transfers from the first product stream to the gas-rich liquid stream and the membrane evaporator () includes a membrane interface () permeable to the vapor through which vapor transfers to separate a vapor portion from the second product stream (), and an outlet for a vapor reduced second product stream.
