PACKAGE ILLUSTRATION FROM THE RST ENERGY COMPANY PROFILEPURPOSE & OPERATION
What the package does
Sour gas treatment reduces hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide in a gas stream to meet the required downstream or sales-gas specification. The treatment route can use amine absorption or membrane separation, with the technology selected around feed composition, operating conditions and the required outlet quality.
ENGINEERING & INTEGRATION
How it fits your facility
For an amine system, the contactor and regeneration loop are developed as a connected process. The handling route for the separated acid gas must be defined, including any interface with a sulphur recovery unit or disposal system. Utility requirements, operating controls and the potential for multiple treatment trains are established during engineering.
Typical process sequence
- Sour gas inlet
- Inlet separator
- Amine contactor / membrane
- Regeneration where applicable
- Treated gas & acid gas outlets
Illustrative sequence; final equipment and routing follow the agreed process design.
Typical applications
- Sales gas conditioning
- Pipeline specification
- Acid gas feed to sulphur recovery
Package considerations
- Amine or membrane technology
- Closed regeneration loop where applicable
- Modular treatment trains
Design inputs to prepare
- Feed gas composition and flow
- H₂S and CO₂ content
- Treated gas specification
The final process configuration, materials, design codes and performance requirements are established against the agreed design basis and client specification.
