Abstract
A COrecovery unit includes an absorber that reduces COin flue gas () discharged from a combustion facility () by absorbing COby an absorbent, a regenerator that heats the absorbent having absorbed COto emit CO, and regenerates and supplies the absorbent to the absorber, and a regenerating heater that uses steam () supplied from the combustion facility () for heating the absorbent in the regenerator and returns heated condensed water () to the combustion facility (). The COrecovery unit further includes a condensed water/flue gas heat exchanger () that heats the condensed water () to be returned from the regenerating heater to the combustion facility () by heat-exchanging the condensed water () with the flue gas () in a flue gas duct () in the combustion facility ().
