Draft approval corrections
Milt, sorry for the delay in looking at this. Two things:
1) The following is not a real sentence, one or more words is missing at XXXXXX:
"The amine concentration in the absorbent solution is an important parameter in the design and operation of an amine gas treating process. Some typical concentrations for XXXXXXXXXXX (in weight percent) are"
2) Since the minimal or "about" wt percentages add up to 150% or more, does this mean only one amine is used at once, or possibly a few of them, as opposed to the each chemical being used all of the time? David E. Volk 01:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, David: I have fixed my very poor wording in response to your comments. I hope that it is now more understandable. Milton Beychok 04:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello Milt. The chances are nice. I was wondering if you might also add a sentence to explain why the removal of two gases (H2S and CO2) requires less amine that the removal of only one gas? David E. Volk 18:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- David, I have added a paragraph to explain the factors involved in selecting the amine concentration in the circulating solution. As you will note in what I added, the choice of solution concentration is quite often made arbitrarily based on experience. However, I have done my best to answer your question and I have referred the reader to Kohl and Nielson's book for more information.
- Just as a bit of trivia, Art Kohl was one of the originators of the amine treating process when he worked at the Fluor Engineering & Construction Company in about 1940-1955 which is where I met him when I worked for Fluor in that same time frame. Milton Beychok 21:04, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
