    Lean amine loading for MEA

    Hi What is a typical value for lean amine loading in CO2 capture when MEA is used? I am trying to get information for using MEA for CO2 capture. From search i see various values. 0.13 to 0.2. What is the basis of this? These values look very high in comparison with other amines (DEA, MDEA)...

    operational data of aMDEA and Benfield process

    Hi zznook Check the Bryan Research and Engineering websiter. (www.bre.com) and go to the technical papers section. There they have given data for some commercial units. Ofcourse, you wont find column diameter etc there. but you can calculate them using correlations available in literature...

    gas to liquid rate in MDEA gas sweetening system

    Hi Although Aspen has bought HYSYS, HYSYS simulation package is as it was before. They are still working separately. Three major simulation engine in this area are: TSWEET, HYSYS and ASPEN ASPEN has some amine property packages which are based on some VLE theories (electrolyte-NRTL...

    gas to liquid rate in MDEA gas sweetening system

    Hi I have worked with different simulations fro amines. In my experience, ASPEN has not powerful simulation for the same. HYSYS and TSWEET have special packages for amines developed by specialist in that area. Therefore they are more reliable. Do you have these alternative simulations? I...

    gas to liquid rate in MDEA gas sweetening system

    It is difficult to tell unless we know the composition of a sour gas stream and what are the purity requirements. Can you be more specific about your problem? Like give some more details? What property package are you using in ASPEN? The results are strongly dependant on that. Give some more...

    absorber column

    dear 16613 Still your question is not clear. If I understand your information correctly, then you have plant which removes H2S using some amine (which amine?) and now you have to run it for removing H2S and CO2 simultaneously. OK. now what? What information you are looking for? - Have...

    Batch Distillation book

    The books you have mentioned are probably the most referred ones in the batch distillation area. In my opinion you should stick to them. Prashant

    Choose a process simulation model.

    Annie I think it depends on which system you are dealing with. In general, popular softwares for simulation in chemical engineering are 1. Aspen - now aspen has aquired HYSYS but still they are selling it separately. It has got lot of options and can do loads of things (solids...

    low pressure rich sour gas treating

    Jibran it is nice community here and people are ready to help. still i will suggest you that you should compare both options MEA and MDEA. why I am saying it is because.... though MDEA is known for long while, real applications came in large number in last 10 years. Thats what i can see...

    low pressure rich sour gas treating

    Hi I am PhD student working on such kind of problem. Well i have to firtst clarify that i dont have much industry experience and my work is synthesis of such flowsheets. well.. one of the main reason for your client to avoid MEA is it is highly corrosive and also thermodynamically, it is...
