Amine Treating uses alkylamines to remove hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from natural gas. This type of process is refered to as a sweetening process since it removes sour gases such as mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide. Some common amines used are Monoethanolamine (MEA), Diethanolamine (DEA), Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), and Diisopropylamine (DIPA)

What is amine swetenning of natural gas?

The Amine gas is also known as a sweetening gas. It is the process used to remove the sulfate from the gases, it is common practice in refineries and chemical plants.

What is the process for natural gas extraction?

The process for extracting natural gas is hydraulic fracturing also referred to as "fracking". In this process rock is drilled in to deep enough to hit the natural gases, and pump them for extraction.


What is lean amin?

"Lean Amine" is fresh solution which has ready to introduce into MEA Contactor to absorb sour gases from raw gas. Absorption "Lean Amine" is said to be"Rich Amine".


How you could reduce the sulfur in the fuel content to be used in the power plant?

If the fuel is coal, you simply have to switch to a coal with a lower sulfur content. You can remove the SOx from the flue gas with ammonia scrubbing. If the fuel is fuel oil a lower sulfur fuel oil can be used. Otherwise the oil must be treated in a hydrodesulfurization unit which is probably not economical due to the hydrogen required. If the fuel is natural gas, sulfur can be absorbed by absorption with a sulfur free amine such as MDEA (monodiethanolamine). The sulfur is later removed from the amine during the amine regeneration process which results in a sulfur rich stream.


How do we get natural gas?

Natural Gas contains Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Sulfides, O2 Oxygen, Nitrogen, Arsenic, Mercury. For removal all these things from natural gas, Natural gas processing companies applied a gas treating and sweetening process by using gas processing equipment like Membrane System, Amine Plants, Oxygen Removal Plant, H2S Removal equipment to make it suitable for transport and sale.

How do you separate CO2 from Natural Gas?

CO2 can be separated by using "Amine Treating units" & "Membrane systems"."Amine treating plant" design incorporates proven amine regeneration processes and technology to provide a reliable CO2 solution that is capable of reducing CO2 levels to pipeline required specifications.  "Membrane-based" system offers a low-cost & easy to use solution for CO2 removal in natural gas. Membranes are comprised of unique polymer chemistry that offers superior results compared to conventional membranes in terms of withstanding the various components and contaminants frequently found in natural gas-BlueSky Midstream


Is the main reason for your amine to be loaded up with H2S Co2 the low temperature or is it that the percentage of amine is higher then normal 50 50?

To me both reason can incresed acid gas loading in lean amine. 1.When lean amine temperature is low then then amine absorb more quantity of H2S,CO2 which result high acid gas loading in lean amine. 2.When amine solution concentration is hiegher than 50/50 then slow absorption of CO2 but H2S absorption incresed which result high acis gas loading in lean amine. Note: Lean amne temperature is the main thing to increase acid gas loading. Jan Muhammad My take is that if your amine titration is higher than 50%, and are having trouble with loadings, then you are probably running out of regeneration (still/reboiler). It is critical to maintain a good overhead temperature and reboiler temperature so that the amine can be regenerated. Proper titration and lean amine temps tie back into this...

What causes the distinct smell of natural gas?

The smell in gas is man-made, natural gas is odourless. It is added during the gas manufacturing/refining process so as to be able to detect it (i.e. smell). The chemical is Mercaptan
