What is Rectisol?
The Rectisol process is a physical wash process where acid gas
compounds are solved in methanol and thus removed from the syngas
Rectisol was developed jointly by Linde and Lurgi in the late 50th
Methanol is cheap, readily available and thermally
and chemically stable

CO2 Emission
Today and in the near future CO2 emission is getting a more and more
important issue.
Clean Energy is an upcoming market.
Nowadays the whole world is looking for reduced CO2 emission.
Carbon Capture means capture of mainly CO and CO2
The carbon capture rate can be increased:
by a deeper shift (CO converted to CO2)
by nearly 100% CO2 removal within the Rectisol Process
