          Proposition


          Amine solutions are used to purify gas
          streams by removing hydrogen sulfi de
                                    2
          (H S) and Carbon Dioxide (CO ).
            2
          The most commonly used amines
                                 2
          for removal of H S and CO  gases
                        2
          are Monoethanolamine (MEA),
          Diethanolamine (DEA) and
          Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA).
          Particulate contaminates in the amine
          solution can cause serious processing
          upsets which reduce gas processing
          capabilities.

          Parker’s amine fi ltration vessels and
          cartridges help reduce particulate
          contaminate levels in the amine for
          improved process control, greater gas
          processing capabilities, and increased
          life of your amine solution.
