Question

What’s acid gas loading per mole ? ( in simple words )

What’s solution strength in amines solutions ?

Answer 1

Theory: Acid gas loading and solution strength are used in defining amine solution quality.

Solution: Acid gas loading:

Acid gas loading is the mole of acid per moles of amine in the solution. Amine solutions have some % of amine in the water. This is called lean amine solution. Lean amine solution when goes to a amine absorber column, it catches some acid components and dissolve them in the solution. Now the solution is called rich amine solution. SO basically acid gas loading is defined as the moles of acid per unit mole of amine in the solution.

Strength: Strength in amine solution:

This is moles of amine per unit mole of amine solution. Since amine solutions are prepared by dissolving amine components in the water. So more the amine strength, better will be the performance of solution.
