 NH in the gas 3 , H 2 S, if included corrosion causative agent of HCN or the like, absorbed in the absorbing solution in the absorption tower the example NH 3 , H 2 S, the component of HCN, etc. are discharged from the regeneration tower since accumulate condensed water generated during the cooling of that outlet gases cause corrosion of exposed overhead condenser or the like device material in the condensed water containing the impurities, there is a problem that.
[0004]
 Further, CO in absorption tower 2 together with, for example, NH 3 rich solution that has absorbed is supplied to the regenerator, CO by heating the rich solution supplied to the regenerator 2 and NH 3 to dissipate and, regenerator outlet gas NH dissipated contained in 3 is reabsorbed in the condensed water generated by the cooling of the cooling device in the top of the regeneration column. As a result, when introducing the condensed water to the regenerator, NH 3 flows down the rich solution containing, regeneration tower falling again liquid NH 3 is Kaee repeated cycles of dissipating, there is a problem that.
[0005]
 In addition to the above cycle, the absorption tower NH example 3 NH untreated gas to be introduced constantly continuously lean solution dissipating 3 because is newly absorbed, NH 3 continuously from the rich solution is supplied to the regeneration tower, NH to the regenerator in the condensed water 3 there is a problem that accumulation and concentrated.
[0006]
 In response to this corrosion, 1) a method of purging the condensed water, 2) NH by water washing or the like in the absorption tower upstream 3 method pretreatment removal, 3) regenerator upstream or condensation of moisture in the regeneration tower outlet gas a method of adding a corrosion inhibitor to, 4) NH from condensed water 3 stripping method, 5) various countermeasures methods employing a corrosion resistant material have been made.
