Gas Sweetening:
Amine
Treating: Amine Gas Sweetening and Amine Unit
Contaminants removed utilizing Amine Treating
CO2 – Carbon Dioxide
H2S – Hydrogen Sulfide
Amine treating plants remove CO2 (carbon dioxide)
and H2S (hydrogen sulfide) from natural gas. Amine
has a natural affinity for both CO2 and H2S allowing
this to be a very efficient and effective removal
process.
Benefits
of Amine Units
Reduces CO2 and H2S levels to the required
specifications
Modular, skid-mounted systems
Reduced manufacturing and commissioning times
Standardized and proven designs
Guaranteed performance
Lower installation and removal costs
Reasons for Removing CO2 and H2S
Carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other
contaminants are often found in natural gas streams.
CO2 when combined with water creates carbonic acid
which is corrosive. CO2 also reduces the BTU value
of gas and in concentrations of more that 2% or 3 %
the gas is unmarketable. H2S is an extremely toxic
gas that is also tremendously corrosive to
equipment. Amine sweetening processes remove these
contaminants so that the gas is marketable and
suitable for transportation.
