  • the clean gas flow is fed to a condenser, in particular one in the clean gas exhaust guide 116 arranged heat exchanger 120, which is designed as a condenser.
  • the volume of the clean gas flow can hereby
  • the condenser can thus preferably generate a negative pressure below the ambient pressure, as a result of which the energy requirement for conveying the raw gas and clean gas stream for the raw gas cleaning can be reduced.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour la purification d'un flux de gaz brut contenant de la vapeur d'eau, qui peut être réalisé de manière simple et économiquement efficace comprenant les étapes suivantes: introduire le flux de gaz brut dans une zone de reformage, dans laquelle des impuretés contenues dans le flux de gaz brut réagissent chimiquement avec la vapeur d'eau contenue dans le flux de gaz brut, un flux de gaz brut réformé étant obtenu ; introduire le flux de gaz réformé ainsi qu'un flux d'agent d'oxydation dans une zone d'oxydation dans laquelle des constituants du flux de gaz brut réformé réagissent chimiquement avec l'agent d'oxydation du flux d'agent d'oxydation, un flux de gaz pur étant obtenu. L'invention concerne également une régulation éventuelle de la teneur en oxygène. En outre, éventuellement, le flux de gaz brut est introduit dans un condenseur, ce qui réduit le flux volumique du flux de gaz pur et/ou ce qui permet de récupérer de l'énergie qui peut être utilisée pour le préchauffage de l'agent d'oxydation ou pour d'autres procédés de production.
