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.

2
Contact Information Natural gas for residential and commercial use must have CO (reduces heat value)
and H S (toxic in high concentrations) fi ltered out. Plant gas, a by-product in oil
2
refi neries, is used to fi re heaters or boilers, and requires H S removal as well.
