PEMEX to IMPROVE Amine Circuit Operation!

 Six AmiPur Systems to be Installed at PEMEX Facilities
 

PEMEX





















PEMEX Gas y Petroquimica Basica has recently taken steps to ensure the quality of its gas products, while reducing maintenance and operating costs at two of its gas treatment facilities, Nuevo Pemex and Cactus in Tabasco state, Mexico.


The key aspect of the improvements is the installation of six Eco-Tec AmiPur units to provide continuous reclamation of amine circuits used for sour gas processing.

Each circuit consists of 250m3 of DEA which have been experiencing unacceptable maintenance and operating costs to maintain sulphur removal performance.


The root cause of PEMEX's challenge was the severe corrosion of the amine treatment equipment by Heat Stable Salts and in particular, Bicine.

After reviewing alternative solutions, and also on the recommendation of its amine supplier, PEMEX decided to install continuous amine reclamation systems.


The Eco-Tec Amipur units will continuously and economically remove the Heat Stable Salts and Bicine from the amine circuits, resulting in a significant reduction in corrosion and its associated maintenance costs , while ensuring continuous optimal performance.

The Amipur units have been purchased and will be integrated into the PEMEX facilities by Eco-Tec?s distributor in Mexico, Equipos Industriales Del Golfo S.A. de C.V. (EIGSA). The systems are expected to be operational in early 2007.
