Comparative study of DEA and MDEA treatments of acid gas

Egypt’s consumption of natural gas for all end uses (residential, industrial, commercial and power generation) has increased rapidly due to the growth of new markets, the use of natural gas in the production of petrochemicals and fertilizers, and rising demand for LPG. To satisfy growing domestic natural gas demand, Egypt has diverted its natural gas supply away from exports and is leaning on LNG imports to address the shortfall in consumption. Natural gas must be treated, or “sweetened,” before it is fit for consumption by end users. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water must be removed. Improvements in the efficiency and cost of gas sweetening processes are ongoing. Recen
