Hydrocarbons and BTEX Pickup and Control from Amine Systems
HC and BTEX absorption into amine solutions has received increased attention over the last decade due to emissions to the atmosphere or to problems in downstream equipment. The collection of VLE and VLLE data by GPA and others have facilitated the development of a model for the absorption and removal processes. The amount of HC and BTEX emitted or passed to downstream equipment may be controlled by reducing the absorption or by removal from the rich amine.
