Lean Amine Particulate Filter

Products Description

 

This lean amine particulate filter is engineered to capture fine particulate matter-like iron sulfide, carbon fines, and pipeline scale-from circulating amine streams. It protects your system's most sensitive equipment, including contactors, regenerators, and circulation pumps, by keeping solids out of the process loop.

 

Key features

lean-amine-particulate-filter

High-Efficiency Filtration

Optimized pleated or depth-style cartridges ensure > 99 % removal of particulates ≥ 5 µm, preventing amine degradation.

Typical Applications

 

  • Natural Gas Sweetening Plants: Ensures clean lean amine before CO₂/H₂S removal.
  • Refinery Gas Treating Units: Protects regenerators and exchangers from coke and rust formation.
  • Chemical & Petrochemical Industries: Preserves catalyst beds and downstream piping integrity.
  • Offshore Platforms: Space-saving design meets strict weight and footprint constraints.

 

Customer Cases

 

  1. Saudi Arabia (Gas Processing): Switching from depth filters to our 10 μm elements reduced pressure drops by 60% and saved over $100K/year in maintenance labor.
  2. North Sea (Offshore Platform): Custom 5 μm filters were installed to stabilize flow. Filter life increased by 3 months, cutting change-out time from 8 to 2 hours per shutdown.
  3. Texas (CO₂ Capture Pilot): A trial run showed a 45% reduction in amine foaming events after installing our lean amine particulate filters in the lean amine loop.

FAQ

 

Q: When to change elements?

A: Monitor ΔP! Change at 10-15 PSID rise. Typical range: 3-12 months (depends on loading).

Q: Suitable for sour service (H2S/CO2)?

A: Yes. Materials (316L SS, specific polymers/coatings) selected for sour amine resistance.

Q: What is the lead time for standard units?

A: Standard filters ship within 1–2 weeks; custom filters may require 3–4 weeks.
