    The ADIP process uses di-isopropanol amine (DIPA) and methyldiethanol amine (MDEA) solutions to selectively remove H2S from gas streams while achieving good selectivity for H2S in the presence of CO2. The gas is contacted counter-currently with the solvent in an absorption column, and the solvent removes H2S. The H2S-loaded solvent is then heated and regenerated in a separate column, where the acid gases are removed and sent to a sulfur recovery plant. The ADIP process can reduce H2S to very low levels while using less steam and having lower costs than conventional systems. It has been used successfully in over 490 installations worldwide to

    ADIP Refinery / Natural Gas

    Applications
    The ADIP process is a regenerative process developed to selectively reduce H2S in gas to very low
    concentrations, while a good selectivity for H2S in the presence of CO2 can be achieved. The ADIP process
    uses an aqueous solution of di-isopropanol amine (DIPA) and an aqueous solution of methyldiethanol amine
    (MDEA). MDEA is used for those applications in which high selectivity for H2S is required. Depending on
    operating conditions 20 - 60% of the CO2 is co-absorbed if DIPA is used as the ADIP solvent, while this can
    be reduced to 10 - 30% if MDEA is used as the solvent. The ADIP process can also be used for enrichment of
    acid gas feed to a sulfur recovery plant, to achieve a higher H2S content. Integration of gas treating with
    the SCOT solvent system is an option.

    Description
    The H2S containing gas is contacted counter-currently in an absorption column with ADIP solvent. The
    regenerated solvent is introduced at the top of the absorber. The H2S loaded solvent (rich solvent) from the
    absorber is heated by heat exchange with regenerated solvent and is fed back to the regenerator, where it
    is further heated and freed of the acid gases with steam.

    The acid gases removed from the solvent in the regenerator are cooled with air or water, so that the major
    part of the water vapor is condensed. The sour condensate is reintroduced into the system as a reflux.

    The acid gas is passed to the sulfur recovery plant (Claus plant) in which elemental sulfur is recovered from
    the H2S.

    Operating Conditions
    Absorber operating pressure can be up to 150 bar. Gas temperature can vary from ambient up to 60 C.

    Features

     Reduction of H2S to very low concentrations.


     Low steam consumption and solvent circulation.
     Carbon steel equipment.
     Resistant against degradation (DIPA).
     No reclaimer required.
     Good selectivity for H2S in the presence of CO2.
    Reduced investment and operating costs compared to conventional designs.
