The amine process will absorb heavy hydrocarbons and aromatics from gas streams in addition to the acid components. Whether the acid gas is to be vented or fed to a sulfur plant, it is highly desirable to remove these compounds from the acid gas. A new, economical process has been developed to greatly reduce the aromatics and heavy hydrocarbons in the amine plant acid gas stream. In the test facility, the new BTEX-T. rex process decreased the level of aromatics in the acid gas stream by more than three quarters. The process utilizes the plant fuel gas as a stripping agent and the aromatics and heavy hydrocarbons which are removed are incinerated in the amine plant reboiler heater. Plant data collected before and after implementing the BTEX-T. rex process compare favorably with the results estimated using a recent version of TSWEET regarding BTEX concentration results.
