A CO2-laden syngas stream from gasification/reforming (H2/CO with 25% CO2, the actual Rectisol duty — scrubbing raw syngas ahead of methanol/ammonia synthesis, not treating pipeline natural gas) is sweetened by a cold-methanol physical-solvent absorber (chosen because chemical amine reactions aren't modeled here) down toward synthesis-loop spec, then the rich solvent is regenerated by a pressure letdown into a second flash that flashes the bulk of the absorbed CO2 back off — the same letdown-valve-plus-flash regeneration pattern used for HDA's and methanol synthesis's own dissolved-gas trains. No solvent recycle loop (an honest simplification: the regenerated solvent is reported as a product stream rather than closed back onto the absorber feed). From the ChemSep casebook (CO2 removal from natural gas), adapted to Rectisol's real syngas duty.
