Abstract

According to embodiment, a carbon dioxide capturing system cools a regenerator discharge gas discharged from a regenerator 5 containing carbon dioxide by a cooling unit 8 , and then sends the gas to a cleaner 9 . The cleaner 9 receives condensed water generated from the regenerator discharge gas cooled by the cooler 9 , and a gaseous cooled regenerator discharge gas, and cleans the cooled regenerator discharge gas by a cleaning liquid. The cleaner 9 has a first liquid reservoir 9 b configured to store the condensed water, and a second liquid reservoir 9 c configured to store the cleaning liquid having cleaned the cooled regenerator discharge gas.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An operation method of a carbon dioxide capturing system that includes: an absorber configured to bring a process target gas containing carbon dioxide and an absorbing liquid into contact with each other, and to discharge the absorbing liquid having absorbed the carbon dioxide and an absorber discharge gas containing the process target gas from which the carbon dioxide has been removed; and a regenerator configured to release the carbon dioxide from the absorbing liquid having been discharged from the absorber, and to discharge the absorbing liquid having released the carbon dioxide and a regenerator discharge gas containing the carbon dioxide and steam;
the operation method comprising: a step of cooling the regenerator discharge gas to separate the regenerator discharge gas into condensed water and a gaseous cooled regenerator discharge gas; a step of storing the condensed water in a first liquid reservoir; a step of cleaning the cooled regenerator discharge gas by a cleaning liquid in a cleaner; and a step of storing, in a second liquid reservoir, the cleaning liquid having cleaned the cooled regenerator discharge gas, wherein the cleaner has the first liquid reservoir and the second liquid reservoir.
