Oxyfuel combustion. An alternative is to burn the fossil fuel in pure or enriched oxygen. In such a fashion the flue gas will contain mostly CO2 and H2O. A part of the flue gas needs to be recycled into the combustion chamber in order to control the flame temperature. From the non-recycled flue gas, water vapor can be readily condensed, and the CO2 can be compressed and piped directly to the storage site. 3, record 2, English, - oxyfuel%20combustion

Because the hot and cold towers of a stage are in series, the two liquid to gas flow ratios (L/G) are thus directly related and an L/G change in one tower causes an L/G change of the same direction in the other tower.
