Amine Filtration
Amine solvents are widely used to remove Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) from gas and lighter hydrocarbon products. Crude oil with low sulphur content is becoming less prevalent and is costly on the market while on the other side environmental regulations concerning H2S and CO2 content in light hydrocarbon products (fuel) are becoming more stringent.
Therefore, much is demanded from sweetening units in the refinery process and it is essential that the washing system is free from problem causers. Removing arisen contaminants from the Amine is an effective method for securing the unit’s capacity, also in protecting the system and downstream equipment against corrosion, erosion, wearing, plugging, etc.
Dahlman Amine Filtration Technology focuses on the removal of the problem causers:
- Solids
- Liquid Hydrocarbons
- Heat Stable Salts
Benefits of a clean Amine system:
- Prevention of amine foaming
- Reduced corrosion problems
- Maintain Amine efficiency and plant capacity
- Reduced level of Amine consumption
- Reduced Bio-water upsets
- Less plugging
