APPLICATIONS
Removal of H2S and CO2 from natural gas streams.
ADVANTAGES
High versatility
Standard and custom designs
Stand-alone or integrated processing installation
Variety of available solvents
Mono ethanolamine (MEA)
Di ethanolamine (DEA)
Methyl di ethanolamine (MDEA)
Di glycol amine (DGA)
Sulfinol solvent
Amines Importance:
The amine concentration in the absorbent aqueous solution is an important parameter in the
design and operation of an amine gas treating process. Depending on which one of the following
four amines the unit was designed to use and what gases it was designed to remove, these are
some typical amine concentrations, expressed as weight percent of pure amine in the aqueous
solution:
Mono-ethanolamine: About 20 % for removing H2S and CO2, and about 32 % for
removing only CO2.
Di-ethanolamine: About 20 to 25 % for removing H2S and CO2
Methyl-di-ethanolamine: About 30 to 55 % for removing H2S and CO2
Di-glycol-amine: About 50 % for removing H2S and CO2
