Mist eliminator pads, located near the gas outlet of the tank, trap the rest. Typical contaminants in natural gas streams may be liquid hydrocarbons, salt water, sands, well treating compounds, pipeline treating chemicals, and compressor oils. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Tra y Tow e r Absorbe r The sour gas, freed of entrained liquids by the inlet separator, enters the bottom of the absorber. Usually the absorber is a tray column; although packed columns are also used. In either case, the objective is to provide intimate contact between the gas and the amine solvent so that the H2S and C02 molecules can transfer from the gas phase to the solvent liquid phase. In tray columns, a liquid level is maintained on each tray by a weir usually 2 or 3 inches high (Figure >>>>>). WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Three Phase Flash Tank In many units the rich amine solution is sent from the absorber to a flash skimmer tank to recover hydrocarbons that may have dissolved or condensed in the amine solution in the absorber. The pressure of the solution is dropped as it enters the tank, allowing the lightest of the hydrocarbons to flash. The heavier hydrocarbons remain as a liquid, but separate from the aqueous amine, forming a separate liquid layer. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Lean/Rich Heat Exchanger The rich solvent is preheated before entering the stripper. Because the lean amine exiting the reboiler must be cooled before entering the absorber, there is an opportunity to exchange heat from the lean to the rich stream, thereby reducing the heat load on the reboiler. This is usually done in a shell and tube lean/rich heat exchanger with the rich solvent passed through the tubes, which are usually made of stainless steel. Note: Recommended maximum velocity to minimize corrosion in the tubes is 3 or 3.5 feet/sec. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Regenerator Like the absorber, the stripper is either a tray or packed column with approximately 20 trays or the equivalent height in packing. To minimize amine vaporization loss, there may be a water wash section at the top of the column with an additional four to six trays. The preheated rich amine enters near the top of the column and flows down countercurrent to a gas stream of steam, H2S, and C02. The steam is generated in the reboiler, lowering the partial pressure of H2S and C02 in the gas stream, enhancing driving force of the acid gases from the amine solution. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Filtration A filtration scheme of mechanical and activated carbon filters is important in maintaining good solution control. Mechanical filters such as, cartridge filters or precoat filters remove particulate material while call filters remove chemical contaminants such as entrained hydrocarbons and surface-active compounds. Filters are located in the rich line in some plants, and in the line in others. One manufacturer recommends filters in both rich and lean lines. Locating the filters in the rich line upstream of the lean rich heat exchanger will protect both the heat exchanger and the stripper from plugging, and reduce the erosion/corrosion rate in the heat exchanger. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Filtration A 10 to 20 micron mechanical filter should be adequate for particulate removal. If cotton filters are used, the cotton should be virgin cot ton rather than recycled. Recycled cottons may contain fibers with coatings which may be the source of amine solution foaming problems. Circulation rates through mechanical filters range from 5% of the circulating system to full fl depending on the degree of contamination. Recommendations for flow to carbon filters range from less than I percent to 5 to 10 percent and some units have been built with full flow.

It is only in the presence of contaminants such as condensed hydrocarbons, small suspended particulate matter, or other surface active agents such as some pipeline corrosion inhibitors or compressor oils, that a foaming problem may develop. Foaming usually occurs in the absorber or the stripping tower, and is accompanied by a sudden noticeable increase in the differential pressure across the column. Other indications of a foaming condition may be a high solvent carryover, a drop in liquid levels, and the detection of off-specification gas. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s: Foa m ing I I An immediate method to control a foaming problem is the addition of an antifoam at a location just upstream of the foam. Effective foam inhibitors for amine sweetening systems are silicone antifoams and polyalkylene glycols. Also widely used are high-boiling alcohols such as oleyl aIcohol and octylphenoxyethanol. It is advisable to test the antifoam on a plant sample in the laboratory before applying it in the field to verify that it will break the foam. In the event that one antifoam is ineffective, switching to another antifoam may solve the problem. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s: Foa m ing I I I The silicone antifoams have proven to be quick and effective in controlling foaming problems in the gas treating industry. When using a silicone antifoam, the antifoam should be added downstream of the carbon filters because carbon filters will adsorb the silicone. Care should be exercised with respect to the amount of silicone antifoam added to a system. The silicone antifoams should be used only in small quantities, as recommended by the manufacturer. It is important to be aware that silicone antifoams used in excessive quantities have the potential to promote the formation of foam. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s: Foa m ing I V The use of an antifoam may only be a temporary solution to a continuing problem. The objective in controlling foaming should be to minimize the level of contaminants in the amine solution. Of critical importance is the prevention of entrained contaminants in the feed gas from entering the amine system. The inlet separator, equipped with a demister pad and possibly filters, is instrumental in trapping most contaminants, and should be monitored to insure that it is operating efficiently and not being overloaded. Mechanical and carbon filters are necessary in maintaining a clean solution. In order to prevent hydrocarbons from condensing in the absorber, the lean amine feed temperature should be held between 10'F and 20'F above the temperature of the feed gas.

In the case of foaming, the gas remains trapped in bubbles, unable to contact the rest of the solvent, resulting in poor mass transfer of acid gas from the gas to the amine solution. In terms of mechanical damage, if trays are broken or have fallen, there may not be enough contact zones (trays) for adequate sweetening. If the trays are plugged, there is less contact between the gas and liquid on each tray, resulting in poorer sweetening. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Failure to Meet Gas Specification II Other explanations for off-specification gas may be related to the amine solution:  The circulation rate may be too low,  The amine concentration too low,  The lean solution temperature may be too high,  The acid gas loading in the lean solution may be too high. Monoethanolamine systems usually run with solution concentrations between 10 and 20 weight percent MEA, and a lean loading of 0.1 moles acid gas/mole of MEA. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Failure to Meet Gas Specification III Diethanolamine systems are between 20 and 30 weight percent DEA, with lean loadings of 0.02 to 0.05 moles acid gas/mole DEA. In order to reach these lean loadings, regeneration resulting in a steamto-acid gas ratio ranging from 1:1 to 3:1 (moles steam: moles acid gas) in the stripper overhead gas is usually required (1). In some cases, even higher ratios may be necessary to bring the loading down, as in lowpressure treating applications. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Failure to Meet Gas Specification IV One way to estimate the overhead steam-to-acid gas ratio, knowing the stripper overhead temperature and pressure, is to use steam table data and Raoult's law: PP H2O = x H2O psat where: PP H2O = partial pressure of water in the overhead gas; X H2O = mole fraction of water in the amine solvent; psat = vapor pressure of pure water at the temperature of the overhead gas. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Failure to Meet Gas Specification V Approximating the overhead gas as an ideal gas containing water, H2S and C02, the partial pressure of the acid gases can be obtained by subtracting the partial pressure of water, calculated from Raoult's law, from the stripper overhead pressure: PPacid gas = Poverhead – PP H2O The ratio of water partial pressure to acid gas partial pressure is equal to the mole ratio of steam to acid gas. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Failure to Meet Gas Specification VI As an example calculation of the steam-to-acid gas ratio, a stripper with an overhead temperature and pressure of 200'F and 20 psia, carrying a 27 weight percent (6 mole percent) DEA solvent, has a corresponding water vapor pressure of 11.5 psia as obtained from the steam tables. From Raoult's law, the partial pressure of water is 10.8 psia: PPH2 0 = (0.94) (11.5) = 10.8 psia The partial pressure of acid gas would be 20 psia less 10.3 psia or 9.19 psia, and the overhead steam-to-acid gas ratio would be 1.2 moles steam/mole acid gas (10.8 -t 9.19).

In MEA units the reclaimer bottoms disposal significantly adds to the makeup requirement. On a much smaller scale are vaporization losses from the absorber, the overhead condenser, and the flash tank, and degradation losses by chemical and thermal degradation WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Foaming Failure to Meet Gas Specification Solvent Losses Corrosion WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Fa c t ors in Corrosion WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Corrosion I Corrosion is a problem experienced by many alkanolamine gas sweetening plants. When loaded with C02 and H2S, aqueous amine solutions can become corrosive to carbon steel. Corrosion rates are increased by high amine concentration, high acid gas loading, high temperatures, degradation products, and foaming. Also corrosive are acid gases flashed from solution. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Corrosion II Monoethanolamine is more reactive than diethanolamine and similarly more corrosive. As a result, the concentration of MEA is restricted to 10 to 20 weight percent, while DEA strengths range from 20 to 30 weight percent. Rich solution loadings are normally limited to the range of 0.25 to 0.45 moles acid gas/mole MEA, while in DEA systems loadings may range from 0.5 to 0.6 moles acid gas/mole DEA. The corrosiveness of a loaded amine solution is strongly influenced by the relative proportion Of C02 to H2S in the feed gas. C02 is more corrosive to carbon steel than is H2S in aqueous systems. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Corrosion III Thus, for gases containing a higher ratio Of C02 to H2S, the rich acid gas loading should be maintained at the lower end of the recommended loading range. In cases where the feed gas is predominantly H2S, loadings at the higher end of the loading range may be acceptable. In terms of design, a number of measures can be taken to minimize corrosion. Solution velocities should not exceed 3 or 3.5 ft/sec. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Corrosion IV The rich solution should be on the tube side of the lean/rich heat exchanger, and pressure should be maintained on the exchanger to prevent acid gases from flashing, creating an erosion/corrosion cycle. A low temperature heating medium should be used in the reboiler, thereby preventing accelerated corrosion rates and thermal degradation of the amine. All equipment should be stress relieved. WWW.GBHENTERPRISES.COM Typic a l Am ine Syst e m Ope rat ing Diffic ult ie s Corrosion V There are certain areas of amine sweetening plants which are more susceptible to corrosion than others, and, as a result, are often constructed of corrosion-resistant materials such as Type 304 stainless steel. These areas include: 1) the lean/rich heat exchanger tube bundle, 2) the reboiler tube bundle, 3) the stripping column, particularly the upper section and overhead gas line, 4) the reflux condenser, and 5) the rich solvent let-down valve and subsequent piping to the stripper.
