Abstract
A method for regenerating liquid desiccant is described herein. The method includes co-currently contacting a rich desiccant stream including water with a stripping gas within a co-current contacting system such that the stripping gas removes at least a portion of the water from the rich desiccant stream, producing a wet stripping gas and a lean desiccant stream. The method also includes removing the water from the wet stripping gas within a stripping gas separation system, regenerating the stripping gas, and recirculating the stripping gas to the co-current contacting system.
