Amine Experts has world class laboratory analysis and evaluation capabilities to undertake a complete study of amine samples. This information is required to properly evaluate and troubleshoot the performance of the amine system. When these analyses are carried out on a regular basis, a very valuable operating history is established, which significantly aids troubleshooting and measuring unit performance.

Analysis Include:

• amine concentration
• water content 
• heat stable amine salts (total % amine bound)
• H₂S loading
• CO₂ loading
• GC analysis of the solvent (to identify degradation products)
  
• suspended solid content
• pH
• metal scan (Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni, K, Na)
• visual appearance
• mass balance
• evaluation report and targets
• foam test

Additional analyses available

• ion chromatographic (IC) analysis of all organic and inorganic acids

Amine Experts’ analysis report includes:

• Mass Balance Closure
• Several built in cross checks on the results
• Trend analysis
