SRE recommends laboratory analysis and evaluation of amine samples at regular intervals to provide the information necessary for evaluating and troubleshooting amine system performance.

Refinery Amine Samples

AMINE ANALYSIS REPORTING

SRE will prepare a report for each sample analyzed including:

  • Analytical results including full material balance
  • Reporting of any historical trends discovered
  • Interpretation of analytical results
  • Comparison of analytical results with suggested optimal values

Typical content of SRE’s detailed amine analysis report includes:

  • Amine strength (titration)
  • Total Nitrogen
  • Hydrocarbons in amine
  • Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
  • H2O (important for the overall mass balance)
  • Degradation products
  • Trace amines
  • Heat Stable Salts
  • Total suspended solids (TSS)
  • Foam (Height and time)
  • Visual appearance (colour & contamination)
  • Picture of the sample
  • pH
  • Conductivity (free of cost)
  • Metals analysis: Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni, Ca, Na, Si
