Amine purification system for heat stable salt removal
In petrochemical plants, fertilizer plants, and coal plants, maintaining effective amine circuits for carbon dioxide capture can be challenging due to the buildup of heat stable salts (HSS). These contaminants can lead to increased corrosion and decreased performance of amine absorbers, necessitating continuous purification.
Continuously removes heat stable salts from amine circuits
The AmiPur® PLUS and CCS, offered by Kovalus Separation, are ion exchange systems that significantly improve amine purification by continuously removing heat stable salts (HSS) from the amine circuit. Utilizing Recoflo® ion exchange technology, these systems ensure that the purified amine is recycled back into the circuit, maintaining consistent performance and reducing amine purchasing costs. The AmiPur® PLUS is designed for general amine purification needs, while the AmiPur® CCS is specifically tailored for circuits involved in capturing and storing carbon dioxide. By consistently lowering HSS levels, these systems improve absorber economy and performance, while minimizing equipment corrosion. Suitable for applications in oil & gas refineries and industrial plants seeking to enhance their carbon capture processes, the compact footprint of these systems makes them a practical addition to existing setups.
