Simulation of CO2 removal in a split-flow gas sweetening process
Bae HK, Kim SY, Lee B
Split-flow gas sweetening is known to consume less energy than a conventional gas sweetening process when the inlet sour gas contains a high concentration of acid gases. In this work, a computer simulation of a split-flow natural gas sweetening process based on absorption/stripping process with alkanoamine (MEA and DGA) solutions, using Aspen plus, was performed. The input of parameters such as the concentration of sour gases (CO2, H2S) in the feed gas has been examined. Simulation results show that the split-flow gas sweetening process can reduce the reboiler duty of a stripping tower better than the conventional gas sweetening process according to the concentration of CO2 in the feed gas.
Keywords: Split-flow; CO2 Removal; Gas Sweetening; Aspen Plus
