Lo-TEX™ technology enhances rich amine flash tank performance to substantially increase the removal of BTEX and VOC components from the rich amine stream.
By increasing BTEX and VOC removal in the rich amine flash tank, BTEX and VOC emissions in the amine still vent stream are decreased correspondingly. Lo-TEX™ accomplishes this through manipulation of the pressure and/or temperature that the rich amine flash tank operates at, thus maximizing removal of BTEX and VOC components prior to introduction to the still and effecting a separation of the BTEX and VOC components from the bulk acid gas vent stream. The flash tank vent stream, rich in BTEX and VOC and low in acid gas, can then be used for fuel gas or incinerated much more economically than the still column vent stream.
