E-Z-RAMAN On-line Monitoring of Amine Treating

Continuous in-situ monitoring of all the critical amine parameters can provide almost instantaneous feedback on important changes in the amine process which can lead to real-time process control, improved finished product quality, reduced overall cost, and minimized waste. In daily practice, we see that amine streams are often not efficiently used, at great expense to the refinery. Current standard laboratory procedures require typically titration of grab samples to determine amine, H2S and CO2 levels in both the rich and lean amine streams. Many laboratory measurements have to be performed to properly control and monitor the amine streams. Raman analysis has proven to be well suited to amine monitoring and control for several reasons: • Raman scattering requires little if any sample conditioning; • The high resolution Raman spectra of amine solutions allow the various components to be distinguished and quantified; • Working in the NIR region allows for fiber-optic coupling of the sample stream probe and the Raman analyzer; • Working with optical fibers allows for multiplexing many individual Raman probes to one single Raman instrument, reducing instrument calibration and simplifying overall maintenance.
