Presented at Joint GPA Europe / GPA GCC Annual Conference held in Athens, 21 - 23 September 2016 by
Philip Le Grange (Authors: Philip Le Grange, Mike Sheilan, and Ben Spooner, Sulphur Experts Inc.)
Abstract:
Equipment malfunction or unplanned shutdown of an amine system can have a devastating effect on a production company's profitability. The goal of this paper is to determine and focus the Gas Processing Industry's attention on the highest probability threats to their facilities reliability. The threats were identified by analyzing 400 cases of amine system failure investigated by Amine Experts over the last 17 years for the root causes of the corrosion foaming hydraulic restrictions and specification problems that have limited or crippled gas processing facilities the world over. The most prevalent causes of failure in amine systems both in general and in gas processing specifically are determined and strategies to prevent these are given.
