A discussion by R.L. Pearce (Dow Chem. Co) at the 57th GPA Annual Conventional (New Orleans 1978) covers hydrogen sulfide removal with methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), including the development, description, and chemistry of the process; the removal efficiency of MDEA; the selectivity of MDEA for hydrogen sulfide removal from gases containing both hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, including a comparison with the selectivities of monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA); the MDEA regeneration procedure; the low energy requirement for MDEA gas removal, as compared with other amines; the minor corrosion (about 26 mils/y) experienced at high (approx. 50 wt%) MDEA concentrations; and a comparison of the physical properties of MDEA, MEA, and DEA. Flow diagram, graphs, and tables are included.
