Four Main Amine Guard FS Flow Schemes
Flash only
Conventional (absorber + thermal regeneration)
1-Stage (absorber + flash column + thermal
regeneration)
2-Stage (1-stage system that also includes
semi-lean solvent stream)

2-Stage Flow Scheme - Application
Advantages
Much lower duty requirements than single-
stage system
Flexibility to trade-off solvent flow rate for
thermal regenerator duty or vice-versa
Disadvantages
Solvent requirements always higher than those
for single-stage system, resulting in higher
capital costs (absorber, pumps, and piping)
UOP 5241B-17
Flow Scheme Comparison
Flash Only Flowscheme
Simplest flowscheme and therefore relatively
inexpensive
Low energy requirements
Ideal for bulk removal of CO2
Partial removal of H2S
2-stage Flowscheme
Much lower duty requirements than single-stage
system
Flexibility to trade-off solvent flow rate for thermal
regenerator duty or vice-versa UOP 5241B-17
