Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date DE-6 (.3/81) ABSTRACT Raw natural gas contains acid gases such as H2S and C02 which must be removed before the gas can be sold. The removal of these gases is called "sweetening" and the use of Diethanolamine (DEA) as a solvent has become widely accepted by industry. The process is simply based on the absorption and desorption of the acid gases in aqueous DEA. Side reactions can occur when DEA reacts with the C02 to produce degradation compounds. This degradation causes a loss in valuable DEA and an increase in plant operating costs.

  • Effect of Various Parameters on the Thermal Stability and Corrosion Of
    energies Article Effect of Various Parameters on the Thermal Stability and Corrosion of CO2-Loaded Tertiary Amine Blends Usman Shoukat and Hanna Katariina Knuutila * Department of Chemical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), 7491 Trondheim, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 April 2020; Accepted: 19 May 2020; Published: 21 May 2020 Abstract: In this study, the thermal stability and corrosivity of various CO2-loaded tertiary amine blends in both aqueous and non-aqueous form in stainless steel cylinders were studied for combined acid gas and water removal. The thermal stability was measured from the remaining amine concentration and the corrosivity was measured from the amount of various metals in blends using titration and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. The experimental data were used to calculate the rate constants of amine group loss. The developed model represented the experimental data very well. Solvent change from H2O to triethylene glycol (TEG) in blends decreased the thermal stability and vice versa for corrosivity. The amine stability was increased when contact with stainless steel was reduced. An increase in the amine concentration or CO2 loading at constant temperature decreased the thermal stability and vice versa for corrosivity. Keywords: thermal stability; corrosivity; tertiary amines; amine concentration; CO2 loading; CO2 capture 1. Introduction Acid gas impurities such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are typically present in natural gas. Energy production from natural gas also produces large quantities of CO2 during combustion [1]. H2S is naturally present with methane, water vapor, CO2, and other impurities in many natural gas reservoirs [2].
