Pumps and Heat exchangers to handle Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)
Pumps and Heat exchangers to handle Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)
(OP)
Can anyone point me to manufacturers of pumps and/or heat exchangers designed to Handle Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) fluid with whom they have had good experience? Specifically we plan to use Dow's Ucarsol AP814 solvent in our application.
Thanks
Thanks

As a point of personal preference, I dislike questions that ask for a recommended manufacturer since it tends to encourage sales engineers to try and peddle their wares. It would be more appropriate to ask questions regarding pump configuration, materials of construction, NPSH considerations, etc.

I fully agree with SS, regardless of whether the amine is rich or lean. If someone did bid carbon steel to be cost effective, I would equalize the bids and ask the guys who quoted SS to give me the reduction to go to CS, and the guys who quoted CS to give me the adder to go to SS.
