Optimization of New and Existing Amine Gas Sweetening Plants Using Computer Simulation
Large volumes of natural gas are produced throughout this country and Canada for the purpose of heating homes, producing electricity and generating heat for a wide variety of industries. As it comes from the ground, much of the gas produced contains quantities of acid gases, notably H2S and CO2. The carbon dioxide is of little consequence for the most part, but H2S is quite toxic and virtually all of this gas must be removed before the gas can be sent to commerical pipeline.
