Acid Gas Removal Plants for Sale

Unused 1125 GPM Amine CO2 Removal Plant, built in 2018. The process designed to remove CO2 from the syngas in the Amine Absorber using a lean amine solution (34% wt) and a water wash. Clean syngas from the overhead goes to the next unit (Syngas Compression) and rich amine (lean amine + CO2) from the bottom is pumped via the Rich Amine Booster Pumps, filtered in the Rich Amine Particulate Filter, heated in Lean/Rich Amine Exchanger, and sent to the Amine Regenerator tower, where the CO2 is separated from the solution by heating it with a reboiler. The reheated CO2 is released from the solution and flows through the overhead of the regenerator. The rich amine solution is converted to lean amine (without CO2) and is cooled down before returning to the absorber. From the bottom of the regenerator, the lean amine transfers heat to the rich amine in the Lean/Rich Amine Exchanger. The lean amine if further cooled down in the Lean Amine Cooler. The lean amine flow splits: 20% of the flow passes through 2 particulate filters and 1 carbon filter, and the remaining 80% returns directly to the absorber, unfiltered; the regeneration of amine is an iterative process.

Used 60 MM SCFD / 1500 GPM Amine plant built in 1997. 60 MMSCFD gas flow rate, 1500 GPM circulation rate, inlet gas pressure 310 PSI, designed to remove 33% CO2, 1.45% H2S. The plant provides gas sweetening to the incoming inlet hydrocarbon gas with the removal of CO2 & H2S in varying degrees depending on the selection of solvent utilized in the process. The existing selection of amine solvent was optimized for deep CO2 & H2S removal using Dow Chemical's Ucarsol AP-804 amine solvent. The design of the system was to treat 60MM SCFD of incoming gas and removing essentially all H2S and CO2 to the wet gas header specifications. The original basis of design for the system changed over the years to 85% CO2 and 2-5% H2S. Due to the high quantity of both contaminants in the inlet wet gas, a high circulation rate was required to keep the rich loading in the 30-40% region and is what drove the sizing of the system to such a large system.

Used 60 MM SCFD Carbon Dioxide removal plant (Benfield Low Heat process) built in 1997. The process is designed to treat 60MM SCFD of incoming natural gas with a hot 35% potassium carbonate solution to remove the remaining CO2 from an upstream Ucarsol process. This gas treating process removes CO2 down to a 1.2 mol % level. The incoming gas is treated by 2,770 gpm of 35% potassium carbonate at 218 degF. The advantage of the Benfield Low Heat process over an amine process is the lowest possible energy consumption by requiring approximately 50% less duty than a typical amine process.

The amine contactor has operating pressure 896 PSIG, design pressure 1250 PSIG, operating temperature: top 119 °F, bottom 110 °F. The plant was commissioned in 1988 and shut down in 2011.

The plant has two functions: (1) remove CO2 from inlet natural gas; (2) produce hydrocarbon liquids (NGL) from the treated natural gas. The CO2 removal section includes 4-stage membrane separation process to reduce CO2 content from 74% to 3%. The NGL section produces natural gasoline (737 BPD), propane (147 BPD), butane (100 BPD), isobutane (52 BPD).

600 MMSCFD (300 MMSCFD per train X 2 trains) Amine plant was designed to treat sour gas containing 3.16 mol% CO2 and 1.55 mol% H2S. Amine circulation rate is 1175 GPM. Sweet gas generated from the plant contains 1.12% CO2 and 4 ppm H2S. Amine contactor operated at 81.7 barg pressure, 63 degree Celsius. The plant has turn-down ratio of 20% of its designed capacity. The plant was built for a service life of 25 years. After pre-commissioning, it has never been operated. No hydrocarbons entered into the plant. Currently the plant is being maintained in preservation mode in a dormant state and ready to start.
