Formulated amines
In the formulated amines, methyl diethanolamine is added to the activator, and as a result, by strengthening this amine and maintaining its advantages, its main weakness in the low absorption of carbon dioxide is eliminated. This is done by increasing the rate of reaction of the solvent with carbon dioxide. The main reason for their widespread use in the global gas industry is the reduction in equipment size and energy savings in these processes compared to other amine processes. Other advantages of using these solvents are: reduction of corrosion and reduction of circulating solvent flow Each of the formulated amines is produced exclusively by a specific company and is under the proprietary license of that company. The following table lists the types of formulated amines and their licensed companies. Activated methyl diethanolamine One of the most well-known and widely used formulated solvents is activated methylmethanolamine (activated MDEA), licensed by BASF…
