Traffic jams in your amine system

Have you ever found yourself in a traffic jam – one that results in a gridlock? If you have, you probably will not forget the frustration and headache that resulted from lost time just sitting there feeling helpless. You probably felt there were just too many cars on the road. If there weren’t so many, things would run smoothly and be alright.

Have you considered the possibility of too much traffic in your amine system? Have you had to increase solvent circulation rates in your unit to meet gas or product specifications? Maybe you also had to increase your stripping steam rates in your regenerator as a result of increased circulation and higher solvent boiling point? If you answered yes to any of these questions, MPR Services can relieve the traffic jam in your amine system.

Bicine can be controlled

Bicine is a very corrosive degradation product produced in certain DEA and MDEA systems. Amine system operators must take steps to minimize O2 and SO2 incursion into the amine system and will need to monitor Heat Stable Salts and Amino Acids (Bicine) concentrations in the amine.
