Overview
Corrosion, foaming, and fouling in acid gas scrubbing amine units can lead to decreased efficiency, higher processing costs, and off-spec treated gas—putting your entire gas processing system at risk.
Baker Hughes’ OPTIMA™ amine unit performance monitoring and chemical treatment solutions proactively tackle these challenges, ensuring reliable, cost-effective scrubbing unit performance.
Detect potential issues early and avoid costly downtime with our comprehensive monitoring techniques. Using advanced analytical testing, proven chemical mitigation, and systematic troubleshooting, we help keep your amine unit running at peak performance.
Mitigate processing upsets with targeted chemical treatments
Keep corrosion at bay in your amine units with proven solutions like our OPTIMAS™ 510 chemical treatment. Incorporating alkanolamine-based absorber solutions like MEA, DEA, and MDEA, OPTIMIAS 510 effectively removes hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and other acid gases.
With a typical minimum dose rate of 500 ppm based on total amine solution volume, OPTIMAS 510 helps maintain optimal unit efficiency and reliability with benefits including:
- Superior corrosion control, particularly in systems with oxygen contamination.
- A non-foaming formula that maintains operational stability.
- Enhanced system cleanliness by displacing iron sulfide deposits in dirty systems.
- High rich amine loading that allows for higher acid gas absorption without accelerating corrosion.
