Abstract

A system includes a solvent gas processing system having a high pressure reaction vessel configured to remove an acid gas from an untreated feed gas using a solvent in a lean solvent fluid stream. The system includes a high pressure reaction vessel is configured to output a treated clean gas and a first flow of a high pressure fluid stream via a first flow path. The system includes a turbine having a main nozzle, an auxiliary nozzle, and an outlet. The main nozzle is configured to receive a second flow of the high pressure fluid stream from the first flow path via a main flow path. The system includes an auxiliary nozzle valve disposed along an auxiliary flow path. The auxiliary nozzle valve is configured to control a third flow of the high pressure fluid stream into the auxiliary nozzle of the turbine.
