The amines are a solvent widely used in the removal of H2S and CO2 present in the natural gas. It is generally known as gas sweetening and acid gas remover.
Usually the H2S and CO2 absorb and react with amine in the absorption tower to then be sent to the regeneration tower. The regenerated amine then return to the absorption tower. The H2S and CO2 flashed the regeneration tower is sent to a thermal oxidizer to be destroyed. In the event that the amount of H2S is significant, this is normally sent to the sulfur recovery unit to recover sulfur as a byproduct.
