Apparatus and method for processing leaking carbon dioxide

An apparatus for processing leaking carbon dioxide, which is provided to a transfer line composed of pipes continuously connected from a carbon dioxide generation facility to a carbon dioxide reservoir to process the leakage of carbon dioxide, comprising:

• a box-shaped shield case provided to cover a connection part of the pipes constituting the transfer line to prevent carbon dioxide leaking from the connection part from diffusing;
• and
• a bypasser bypassing the carbon dioxide into the shield case to the outside of the shield and storing this carbon dioxide
• wherein the bypasser comprises:
• a collection tank connected with the shield case to collect the carbon dioxide discharged from the shield case;
• a fluid circulation unit connecting the collection tank with the shield case and circulating a fluid between the collection tank and the shield case to supply the carbon dioxide stored in the shield case to the collection tank with the carbon dioxide dissolved in a fluid;
• and
• a separator separating carbon dioxide from the fluid supplied to the collection tank.
