Abstract
A system and method of capturing carbon dioxide from a flow of raw synthesis gas generated in a gasification system are provided. The carbon capture system includes an acid gas removal subsystem configured to generate a flow of reduced acid gas content syngas, a flow of hydrogen sulfide (HS) lean gas, and a first flow of HS-rich gas from a stream of particulate-free raw syngas, an HS selective membrane separator, said HS selective membrane separator configured to separate the flow of HS-lean gas from the AGR into a second flow of HS-rich gas and a flow of COgas, and a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) coupled in flow communication with said HS membrane separator downstream of said membrane separator, said SRU configured to generate a flow of elemental sulfur and a flow of tail gas from the first flow of HS-rich gas and the second flow of HS-rich gas.
