Abstract: The use of mixed amine system in gas treating processes is increasing today. For natural gas sweetening purposes, mixed amines are typically mixtures of MDEA and DEA or MEA that enhance CO2 removal while retaining desirable characteristics of MDEA such as reduced corrosion problems and low heats of reaction. In this work, a process simulator was used to predict the performance of an I...

Removal of hydrogen sulfide from waste and energy-rich gases is required, not only because of environmental health and safety reasons, but also because of operational reasons if such gases have to be used for energy generation. A biotrickling filter for the removal of ultra-high concentrations of H2S from oxygen-poor gases is proposed and studied in this work. Two laboratory-scale biotrickling ...

Introduction: Unit risk management is a critical component of gas refining management, as risks that are not well-managed may lead to trip production failures. The present study aimed to provide a structural model for investigating the role and effect of different variables on stopping the gas production process in the gas refinery. Material and Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-se...

Natural gas sweetening is an important process which is used for treatment of sour gases. The measurement of solubility is also considered in most sweetening processes such as that of Townsend process. Therefore, experimental measurements would be helpful to determine the equilibrium data under actual equilibrium conditions for the gas treatment plants. In this research solubility of hydrogen s...

Natural gas usually contains significant amounts of acid gases when it is extracted from underground reservoirs. Therefore, it must be treated by appropriate processes to remove these acidic components. In this study, the simultaneous absorption of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas into diethanol amine solution was simulated using CFD. Absorption process was performed in a we...
