Corrosion Control for Gas-treating Amines: Technology Leads to Increased Amine Unit Efficiency

Accelerated basin drilling activities combined with increased fugitive gas emission capture technologies have increased trace oxygen levels in midstream natural gas—oxygen that will cause costly corrosion-related problems in plant operations and processing equipment. The plant area most affected by oxygen is the amine unit.
