What Are Amine Plants?

Amine treating plants remove CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2S (hydrogen sulfide) from natural gas. The process is known as gas sweetening or acid gas removal, using various alkanolamines, commonly referred to as amines.

What are Differences of an Amine Plant and an H2S Vessel?

So what are the primary differences between the two treatment methods, and what factors should an operator consider in deciding whether to use an amine plant or an H2S scavenger vessel? From a pure natural gas treatment perspective, each process has a similar objective: to confirm to and abide by all required laws, rules and regulations regarding natural gas treatment. The primary differentiator between the two treatment methods is in their regenerative and non-regenerative capabilities.

What are JT Skids?

JT Skids can serve multiple purposes in the mid-stream value chain:

  • Increase the recovery of valuable natural gas liquids (NGL). By removing the heavier components such as propane or butane, the producer achieves an immediate processing upgrade, increasing recoveries, and profits
    In order to meet the pipeline temperature specifications, producers often lower the British Thermal Units (BTU) with a JT Skid assembly.
  • JT Skids can also be used to meet hydrocarbon dew point pipeline specifications.
  • JT Skids are always used in conjunction with a dehydration unit to avoid freezing and hydrate formation.
How Do Dehydration Units Work?
  • A glycol dehydration unit is typically a simple unit – an absorber tower and a reboiler
  • The inlet, water-saturated gas enters the system at the base of the absorber
  • The gas flows upward through the down-flowing TEG making contact on random packing or through bubble cap trays
  • The TEG removes the water from the gas, allowing for the now-dry gas to exit through the top of the absorber
  • The water saturated TEG flows into the reboiler where the mixture is separated by boiling the water off
  • The TEG is then pumped back to the absorber to start the process over again.
