Abstract
An acid gas removal plant includes an absorber that provides a rich solvent to two regenerators that independently generate a lean and a semi-lean solvent, wherein the semi-lean solvent is produced in one of the regenerators using heat and/or steam derived from the other regenerator. Further heat integration is particularly contemplated with power plants in which the power plant provides high-level heat to the acid gas removal plant and wherein the power plant receives low-level heat from the acid gas removal plant.
