Reviewed Oil and Gas - Amine Absorption Options
Options below have reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and implemented
for facilities. |
|
Reuse amines |

|
Use amine filter |
Use an amine filter to extend life of solution and maintain efficiency. |
|
Manage filters (amine and charcoal) |
- Change filters only when necessary. Use differential pressure as an indicator of needed change.
- Use reusable filters.
- When handling filters, tank precautions to prevent oil spillage.
- Isolate all drained fluids in a reasonable container for in-process recycling.
