Sour gas treatment
Pipeline specifications require removal of the harmful acid gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). H2S is highly toxic and corrosive to carbon steels. CO2 is also corrosive and reduces a gas’s BTU value. Gas sweetening processes remove these acid gases and make natural gas marketable and suitable for transportation.
Challenge
Amine treatment removes acid gases through absorption and chemical reaction. Each of the four common amines (MEA, DEA, DGA and MDEA) offer distinct advantages in specific applications. Level control applications include reactors, separators, absorbers, scrubbers and flash tanks.
