CO2 Removal and Amine Solution Analysis

The document contains operational data from a natural gas processing facility including feed flow rates, compositions, temperatures, pressures, equipment sizes and specifications. The key details are: - The feed gas flow rate is 31.5 MMSCFD with 21.29% CO2, which is reduced to 0.03% CO2 in the treated gas of 24.8 MMSCFD. - Amine absorption using MDEA solvent is used to remove 6.7 MMSCFD of CO2 from the feed gas. - The required MDEA flowrate is 549.02 Usgpm at 0.52 loading to achieve the specified CO2 removal.
