SOURCE TECHNIQUE/ METHOD USED
www.elsevier.com/locate/c >For each amine solvent, the
ompchemeng optimum number of stages for the absorber and stripper
columns, and the optimum absorbent concentration,
i.e., the ones that give the minimum cost for CO2 removed, is
determined by response surface optimization. Our results
suggest that CO2 recovery with 48 wt% DGA requires the
lowest CO2 removal cost of $43.06/ton of CO2 with the
following design and operating conditions: a 20-stage absorber
column and a 7-stage stripper column, 26 m3/h of solvent
circulation rate, 1903 kW of reboiler duty, and 99C as the
regenerator-inlet temperature.
>It was suggested that the absorption
rate of tertiary amines
(MDEA, TEA) can be improved by the addition of a small
amount of
primary or secondary amines (MEA, DEA) to form a mixture
solvent

www.elsevier.com/locate/ij >descriptionIn this study, a moderate feed flow rate of 1743

kmol/h, inletpressure of 5516 kPa and temperature of 30C are
ggc assumed. Thefeedstock is assumed to contain methane (CH4),
carbon dioxide(CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ethane (C2H6),
propane (C3H8) andButane (C4H10)
>Feed/sour gas enters the absorption tower and rises through
the descending amine solution. Acid gases are absorbed into
the aminesolution, and purified gas leaves from the top of the
tower.Amine solution, carrying absorbed acid gases, leaves
from thebottom of the tower to an optional flash tank and then
to a heatexchanger, where this rich amine is heated by hot
regenerated leanamine returning from the regenerator.Hot rich
amine solution enters the regeneration column at thetop.
Steam rising through the column liberates water and acid
gasfrom the solution, thus regenerating the amine.Steam and
acid gases separated from the rich amine are respec-tively
condensed and cooled, in the reflux condenser.
Condensedsteam is separated in the reflux accumulator and
returned to thecolumn. Acid gases may be vented, incinerated
or directed to asulfur recovery system.

>All simulations were undertaken using the Aspen

HYSYS software package, Version 7.1, with the
Peng-Robinson fluid package (AspenTech, USA)
>The process was specified to produce a
purity of at least 95 % CO2 and for the entire hybrid
process to capture 90 % of the CO2 in the feed
stream

>In this process the acidic components react with

an alkanolamine absorption liquid via an
exothermic, reversible reaction in a gas/liquid
contactor. In a following process step the acidic
components are removed from the solvent in a
regenerator, usually at low pressure and/or high
temperature.
>Usually the only parameter available
for control of the
column temperature is the lean amine temperature.
Since the CO2 reaction with MDEA is kinetically
controlled; a hotter column increases the reaction
rate. However, once the lean amine temperature
reaches about 135 to 140 F, the decrease in
solubility of the CO2 in the amine solution will
usually become the overriding factor and the net
CO2 pickup will begin to decrease.
>For any given situation, as the
steam stripping rate is
increased, a leaner amine will be produced which
will result in lower H2S and CO2 in the sweet gas.

REMARKS / IMPORTANT FINDINGS

>The developed framework combines the process simulation of the amine-
based absorption/desorption with the response surface methodology to
minimize the cost of CO2 removal given the feed specifications, the
absorbent and the CO2 purity of the product.
>At the termination of the
framework, the number of stages for the absorber and stripper columns,
the concentration
of the absorbent, the solvent circulation rate, the reboiler duty, and the
stripper feed temperature along with the CO2 removal cost are determined.

>amine based absorbents (e.g.,mono-ethanolamine

(MEA), di-ethanolamine (DEA) and methyl-di-
ethanolamine (MDEA)). >amine absorption
process is the most commonly used acid gasremoval
technology. In this process, sour gas enters the
absorptiontower at the bottom, whilst lean amine from
the stripper comes intothe tower near the top. Sweet
gas (with sour components meetingthe pipeline
specifications) leaves the absorption tower at the
top,and saturated amine is sent to the stripper for
regeneration.
>CO2 removal from NG is beneficial because: (i) it
reduces the gas
volume to be transported, (ii) increases the heating
value of sales
gas, and (iii) avoids emissions from NG combustion
>Aiming at reduced stripping energy demand,
diethanolamine (DEA) and methyl-diethanolamine
(MDEA) are
also employed, pure in water or as aqueous blends
MEA/MDEA
and DEA/MDEA

>These solvents are predominately weak Lewis bases, and

commercialized under the trademark names of Rectisol
(methanol), Selexol (dimethyl ether of polyethylene glycol)
and Purisol (n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone)
>The CO2 loaded solvent
is subsequently regenerated by being flashed through a
number of stages, resulting in desorption of CO2 because of
reduced solubility at the lower partial pressure

>When lean amine flow and concentration increase, CO2 and

H2S
absorption increase too. With the improvement of inlet amine
temperature in absorber, CO2 and H2S penetrate to upper
stages of
absorber and absorption of acid gases in absorber decreases.
>The CO2 concentration in the clean gas can be
greatly influenced by the packing height
>HYSYS software
can not estimate murphree efficiency correctly and it applies
the same contributions in all diagrams for HYSYS software. By
improvement in murphree efficiency, maximum temperature
of absorber decrease and the location of reaction transfer to
the
stages of bottoms absorber and the absorption of acid gases
increase.
