    Standard amine plants for removing acid gases from natural gas can be delivered much faster with lower costs and better quality compared to traditional on-site construction. They use pre-engineered and pre-selected equipment on skids that can process between 30 to 120 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas. A standard 400 gallon per minute amine plant circulates amine to remove acid gases and can process up to 0.84 million metric tons per year of liquefied natural gas. The skid-mounted design allows the plant to be built off-site in 22 weeks and then installed on location.

    Abstract

    Standard amine plants for acid gas removal have been very popular in Midstream industry in
    the last decade. With pre-engineered and pre-designed, even pre-built concept, standard
    amine plants can be delivered in much shorter lead time with less cost and better quality. The
    equipment for standard amine plants is pre-selected. The physical dimensions of towers and
    vessels, and the surface area of heat exchangers are fixed. A rating software is written to
    predict the CO2 and H2S content in the sweet gas with the pre-selected equipment. With the
    acid gas flow, pressure, temperature and compositions, the rating software predicts the sweet
    gas flow, pressure, temperature and compositions. If the results are satisfying, the standard
    plants are ready to build or ready to ship if in stock. A standard 400 GPM amine plant has an
    activated amine aMDEA circulation flow of 400 gpm (91 m3/h) in the regeneration system and
    it can process natural gas from 30 (0.21 MTPA) to 120 MMSCFD (0.84 MTPA), depending on
    acid gas concentration. 120 MMSCFD natural gas is equivalent to 0.84 million metric ton per
    annual (MTPA) LNG. The gas absorption side has two configurations. One is to process 120
    MMSCFD flow (0.84 MTPA, max CO2 concentration of 2.25%) with a contactor diameter of 72
    inch (1800 mm). The other one is to process 60 MMSCFD flow (0.42 MTPA, max CO2
    concentration of 4.9%) with a contactor diameter of 54 inch (1350 mm). The gas loop uses

    ASME 600# class flange design. The regeneration side is on one skid, except the ship loose
    regenerator tower, reboiler, flash drum and lean amine cooler. The plot area is about 50 feet
    (15 meters) wide and 120 feet (37 meters) long. The overall delivery is about 22 weeks after
    receiving the purchase order. Skid mounted standard amine plants are game changers in the
    LNG industry. Instead of stick-built plant onsite that might take years, the standard amine plant
    is pre-built in a quality-controlled fabrication shop less than half of a year. Once the skids are
    shipped onsite, the installation only requires tightening up nuts and bolts on flanges and the
    standard plant is ready to remove acid gas.
