Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide methods of operating a linear contactor for absorbing contaminants from a gas stream. The gas stream flows from a first end to a second end of the linear contactor. Fresh absorbent is provided at the first end of the linear contactor based on the theoretical minimum amount of absorbent needed to remove the contaminants. Absorbent is recycled from the second end to the first end of the linear contactor. Fresh absorbent is provided at the second end based on chemical condition of the recycled absorbent. Apparatus for practicing the method is also described.
