Water addition to amine in MEA plant
Water addition to amine in MEA plant
(OP)
I have seen two methods of adding makeup water to an amine plant. One method adds water to the surge drum and the second method to the inlet of the high pressure amine pump. Does anyone have any insights as to what is the better way?

Another good method is to design the system with washwater section above the stripping section (lean amine inlet). That way, you are able to maintain the desired conc. of amine and to reduce amine losses in the overhead stream, at the same time.
