Three major sources of CO/sub 2/ can be found in natural deposits, process effluents such as hydrogen and ammonia plants, and in flue gas. The largest long term source of CO/sub 2/ is flue gas, 9.1 TSCF/yr, and utility companies provide an abundant supply of flue gas. Unfortunately, some contain undesirable components such as oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. Although there are processes which claim to handle sulfur in the flue gas, a large demand for CO/sub 2/ exists in W. Texas where flue gas does not contain sulfur. Therefore, this technology is aimed at flue gas streams which contain less than 4 ppm sulfur. Dow has developed a new solvent for recovering CO/sub 2/ from low sulfur oxygen-bearing streams at low pressure contact. The solvent features high acid gas carrying capacity which permits the manufacturer to circulate it at reduced rates. 10 references.
