With the help of a method of selective removal of hydrogen sulphides, organic sulphur components and CO2 from crude gases, by using a first and second absorption stage (41 or 49) for separating almost pure CO2, a solution has to be found, with which, among other things, hydrogen sulphides and organic sulphur compounds can be removed in as selective a manner as possible. This is achieved as follows: the absorption agent coming out of the first absorption stage (41) and enriched with hydrogen sulphide and CO2 a.o., is pre-heated to an increased pressure with the hot-regenerated solution (12) coming from the desorption stage (50) in a heat exchanger (44), and then at the selected higher pressure de-stressed in a high pressure flash container (47), whereby the gas flow released at the increased pressure is cooled in a condenser (48) and then guided to the second absorption stage (49), in which the sulphur components are completely removed with the help of a part-flow of the regenerated absorption agent (15, 16, 17) coming from the desorption stage (50), whereby the absorption agent is guided back (26/27) from the second absorption stage (49) into the desorption stage (50).
Method for selective removal of hydrogen sulphides, organic sulphur components and CO2 from crude gases, by using a first absorption stage (41) and a second absorption stage (49) for separating almost pure CO2 and using a desorption stage (50) for extracting a gas rich in hydrogen sulphide, whereby the regenerated absorbing substance from the desorption stage (50) is again guided back to both the absorption stages (41, 49), whereby as absorbing substance one uses a chemically non-active solvent, wherein the absorption agent enriched with hydrogen sulphide, organic sulphur compounds and CO2 and coming out of the first absorption stage (41), finds itself at an increased pressure between the pressure of the absorption column (41) and the pressure of the desorption column (50), and is pre-heated with the hot-regenerated solution (12) coming from the desorption stage (50) in a heat exchanger (44), and is then de-stressed at a selected pressure greater than the increased pressure in a high pressure flash container (47), whereby the gas flow released at the increased temperature is cooled in a condenser (48) and then guided to the second absorption stage (40), in which the sulphur components are completely removed with the help of (already mentioned) the part-flow the regenerated absorption agent (15, 16, 17) coming from the desorption stage (50), whereby the absorption agent is guided back (26/27) out of the second absorption stage (49) into the desorption stage (50);
