Acid gas removal to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) in natural gas is one of the most important processes. The common removal process of CO2 from natural gas by using alkanolamine solution This process was adopted as basic module in commercial process simulation tools with various equilibrium models. Thus, this study was focused to evaluate the validity in certain operating condition and equilibrium model that produced by commercial simulation tools. The model in this study included coefficient activity model based on Kent-Eisenberg, Li-Mather, and Electrolyte Non Random Two Liquid (NRTL). The evaluation was conducted by doing analysis from simulation result and experiment data that have been used as reference. Furthermore, validation test in absorption process simulation was done to compare column temperature profile. The overall conclusions show that electrolyte NRTL gives the most accurate result.

AbstractMost of the industrial acid gas removal (AGR) units employ chemical absorption process for the removal of acid gases from the natural gas. In this study, two gas processing plants operational in Saudi Arabia have been selected where two different amines n1amely, diglycolamine (DGA) and monoethanol amine (MDEA) are used to achieve the sweet gas purity with less than 4 ppm of H2S. This study performed a feasibility simulation of AGR unit by utilizing the amine blend (DGA+MDEA) for both plants instead of a single amine. The study used a commercial process simulator to analyze the impact of process variables such as amine circulation rate, amine strength, lean amine temperature, regenerator inlet temperature, and absorber and regenerator pressure on the process performance. The results reveal that when the MDEA (0–15 wt. %) is added to DGA, marginal energy savings can be achieved. However, significant operational energy savings can be made when the DGA (0–15 wt. %) is blended with MDEA being the main amine.

The present paper describes the thermodynamic analysis of the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas removal process in two separated columns with absorption/stripping sections respectively. This process is characterized as mass transfer enhanced by chemical reaction, in which the presence of an alkanolamine enhances the solubility of an acid gas in the aqueous phase at a constant value of the equilibrium partial pressure. A very useful procedure for analyzing a process is by means of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Thermodynamic analyses based on the concepts of irreversible entropy increase have frequently been suggested as pointers to sources of inefficiency in chemical processes. Furthermore, they point out where the irreversibilities of the process are located, and provide a generalized discussion from the successful application of the technique.

.Carbon dioxide (CO2) commonly exists as undesirable component in natural gas streams. The continuous growing of the global demand makes it necessary to overcome the high CO2content obstacle of stranded reserves. A wide variety of acid gas removal technologies have been developed, including chemical and physical absorption processes but none of them can combine the high efficiency and economic energy consumption. Each process has its own advantages and disadvantages. Using of adsorbents increasingly being selected for newer projects, especially for applications that have large flow, high CO2content and located in remote locations such as offshore where compact and highly effective technology is required. This review highlights the importance of adsorbent modification on CO2removal from natural gas reserve at high pressure and temperature using physical adsorbents such as zeolite and molecular sieve. Then, the focus is turned on the adsorbents chemical modification using organic amines to improve the adsorption efficiency towards CO2.
