Lean Amine Carbon Filter

Products Description

 

The lean amine carbon filter is a specialized adsorbent cartridge designed to remove trace contaminants-such as sulfur compounds, heavy metals, and organic impurities-from lean amine streams in gas-treating plants. By polishing the amine solution before it enters the regenerator, it helps maintain solvent quality, prolong equipment life, and ensure consistent removal of acid gases.

 

Working Principle

1. Adsorption Mechanics
The activated carbon in our filter relies on a network of micro- and mesopores that create an immense internal surface area. As lean amine flows through the bed, contaminants such as H₂S, CO₂ degradation by-products (carbonyls), and trace organics diffuse into these pores and adhere to the carbon surface via van der Waals forces and pore‐fill interactions.
2. Selective Uptake
By tailoring pore size distribution and surface chemistry, our proprietary coconut-shell carbon preferentially captures polar sulfur species and low-molecular-weight organics while allowing clean amine molecules to pass through with minimal retention.

 

Technical parameters

 

Product Name Lean Amine Carbon Filter
Carbon Type Proprietary coconut‐shell blend
Particle Size (mesh) 6 – 12 mesh
Operating Temperature 120 °C
Maximum Bed Depth 48 in.

Key features

 

✅ High Surface Area Activated Carbon: Engineered pore structure tailored for amine‐soluble contaminants.

✅ Uniform Particle Size Distribution: Consistent flow rates and minimal pressure drop across the bed.

✅ Broad Chemical Resistance: Stable in temperatures up to 120 °C and compatible with common alkanolamines (MEA, DEA, MDEA).

✅ Modular Cartridge Design: Fits standard housings for quick retrofit and scalable capacity.

 

Applications

 

🛢️ Natural Gas Sweetening: Prior to amine regeneration to protect reboilers and condensers.
🏭 Refinery Sour Gas Treating: Polishing lean amine loops in hydrocracker and FCC units.
⚗️ Chemical Process Streams: Removal of trace organics before recycle or disposal.
🌍 CO₂ Capture Pilots: Ensuring high‐purity solvent for bench-scale testing.
