Abstract
To include an absorber () that brings COabsorbent that absorbs COcontained in flue gas () into contact with the flue gas to remove COfrom the flue gas, a regenerator () that strips COfrom COabsorbent (rich solution), which is fed from the absorber through a first feed line Land has absorbed CO, to regenerate COabsorbent, thereby acquiring regenerated COabsorbent (lean solution) (), falling film reboilers (-and-) that draw off COabsorbent (amine solution) () from near the bottom of the regenerator and reheats regenerated COabsorbent via steam (), a first liquid-vapor separator () that separates the COabsorbent reheated by the falling film reboilers into regenerated COabsorbent in which COhas been removed and vapor containing CO, and a second feed line Lfor supplying the separated regenerated COabsorbent to the absorber.
