Amine Glycol Filter

Products Description

 

Our amine glycol filter is engineered to provide superior solid removal and protection for your critical gas treatment processes. Ideal for applications in amine gas sweetening and glycol dehydration units, this filter cartridge effectively removes suspended solids, iron sulfides, corrosion products, and other contaminants from amine and glycol-based solutions.

 

Product Classification

pleated-PTFE-filter-cartridge
depth-microfiber-glass-cartridge
activated-carbon-filter-cartridge
high-flow-stainless-steel-mesh-cartridge

Polypropylene Depth Filter Cartridge
Exhibits excellent chemical compatibility with primary amines (MDEA, DEA, MEA) and glycol solutions (TEG, MEG). Provides high dirt-holding capacity and mechanical strength.

Glass Fiber Filter Cartridge
Delivers higher flow rates and very high particle retention. Resistant to temperature up to 120 °C (248 °F).
Activated Carbon Cartridge
Combines solid removal with minor taste/odor adsorption; used where sulfur compounds or trace organics must be controlled.

Key features

 

  • High Retention Efficiency: ≥99.9% of particles at the rated size are caught.
  • Wide Chemical Compatibility: Handles MEA, DEA, MDEA, TEG, EG, K₂CO₃ blends, and most corrosion inhibitors without degradation.
  • Thermal Endurance: Maintains form and function up to 120 °C (248 °F), perfect for hot amine loops.
  • Long Service Life: A typical 10″ × 4.5″ 5 µm cartridge can hold up to 5 kg of solids before replacement.
  • Structural Integrity: Resistant to collapse under high differential pressure thanks to a reinforced core-available in 316L SS for extra confidence in sour gas environments.

 

Customer Success Stories

 

1. North American Gas Plant: Struggling with iron sulfide build-up in an MDEA contactor, the plant switched to our 10″ × 4.5″ 1 µm polypropylene cartridges. Within a month, they cut unplanned shutdowns by 80% and saved over $120,000 in amine makeup costs-since their lean amine stayed cleaner much longer.

 

2. European Refinery's Amine Unit: Frequent H₂S breakthrough was traced to solids in the amine loop. Adding our 10 µm carbon-enhanced filters to both lean and rich sides dropped H₂S in sweet gas consistently below 2 ppm. Cartridge life also extended by 25%, and the refinery reported a 15% reduction in reclaiming frequency.

FAQ

 

Q: How do temperature cycles affect cartridge life?

A: Our cartridges can handle up to 500 thermal cycles (ambient ↔ 120 °C) without significant structural changes. To minimize seal wear, ramp temperatures slowly-no more than 3 °C/minute.

Q: How can I measure solids concentration to size my filters?

A: Use a portable turbidity meter for a quick check or a centrifuge-based solids separator kit for more precise measurements. Take samples from both the lean and rich amine streams-rich amine often carries at least three times more solids than the lean side.

Q: What's the maximum fluid viscosity these cartridges handle?

A: They perform well up to about 50 cP at 25 °C. If you regularly exceed that, consider selecting a larger diameter cartridge or splitting your flow across multiple cartridges to keep ΔP below 0.7 bar (10 psi).
