    摘要: Absorption of one or more acid gases from a gas stream may take place using diglycolamine as an absorbent. Methods for processing the absorbent after acid gas absorption may comprise: obtaining an at least partially spent aqueous amine solution from an absorber tower; removing at least a portion of the one or more acid gases from the at least partially spent aqueous amine solution in a regeneration tower to form an at least partially regenerated aqueous amine solution comprising diglycolamine and bis-(2-hydroxyethoxyethyl)urea; and introducing at least a first portion of the at least partially regenerated aqueous amine solution to a reclaimer under thermal conditions effective to revert at least a majority of the bis-(2-hydroxyethoxyethyl) urea to diglycolamine. The reclaimer is heated with a steam input that is in indirect contact with the at least partially regenerated aqueous amine solution and cooled with at least a diglycolamine stream.
