Abstract
An apparatus and method for flow management and CO-recovery from a COcontaining hydrocarbon flow stream, such as a post CO-stimulation flowback stream. The apparatus including a flow control zone, a gas separation zone, a pretreatment zone, and a CO-capture zone. The CO-capture zone is in fluid communication with the pretreatment zone to provide CO-capture from a pretreated flowback gas stream and output a captured CO-flow stream. The CO-capture zone includes a first CO-enricher and at least one additional COenricher disposed downstream of the first COenricher and in cascading relationship to provide a CO-rich permeate stream, the CO-capture zone further including at least one condenser to condense the enriched CO-stream and output the captured CO-flow stream.
