DETERMINATION OF HEAT STABLE SALTS IN MDEA SOLUTION OF THE GAS TREATMENT UNITS

Insour gas treatment due to preventing corrosion in pipelines and some serious problems amine solution is used to remove the acidic gases like H2S and CO2 these components are absorbed by the amine solution and stripped in amine regeneration othe anions contaminants tie up the amine by forming heat stable salts HSS which cannot be regenerated . HSS reduce the amine solution efficiency and promote corrosion and foaming problems in system. therefore the determination and separation of anions in amine soulutions is very important . by using the analytical columns IC-pak A HR made by WATERS trade-mark and applying a method with appropriate condition for the IC column it will be possible to determine all anions by ion chromatography.
