Products Description
The lean amine filter is designed to remove contaminants from lean amine solutions in gas sweetening, carbon capture and hydrocarbon processing applications. It is available in a wide range of sizes and grades to meet plant capacities from 50 m³/h to 1,000 m³/h and features easy plug-and-play installation.
Product Classification
High-Flow Pleated Filters
Ideal for large-scale gas processing plants requiring extended service life.
Coalescing Filters
Specialized for hydrocarbon removal in amine solutions.
Standard Cartridge Filters
For general lean amine filtration in mid-sized systems.

Key features
Ultra-High Purity
Proprietary adsorbent removes ≥ 99 % acid gases, down to sub-ppm levels.
Low ΔP Design
Streamlined internals minimize turbulence and pressure loss.
Modular Housing
Quick-release clamp and gasket system for fast cartridge changeouts.
Corrosion Resistance
316L stainless steel resists amine degradation over prolonged use.
Applications
Natural Gas Sweetening: Remove solids and degradation products in amine contactors.
Refineries: Protect pumps, heat exchangers, and strippers from fouling.
CO2 Capture Systems: Ensure amine purity for optimal absorption efficiency.
Offshore Platforms: Compact design for space-constrained environments.
Real-World Case Studies
Challenge: Frequent foaming and pump wear due to amine contamination.
Solution: Installed 200+ Lean Amine Filter Elements with 10-micron rating.
Result:
- 40% reduction in downtime.
- 90% decrease in pump maintenance costs.
- Amine consumption reduced by 15%.
FAQ
Q: How often should I replace the filter element?
A: Typically 6–12 months, depending on contaminant load. Monitor differential pressure (ΔP >2.5 bar indicates replacement).
Q: Can it handle amine solutions with high H2S content?
A: Yes. Our filters are compatible with H2S-rich environments. For severe conditions, opt for stainless steel cores.
Q: What's the lead time for a 1,000 GPM unit?
A: Standard units ship in 8–10 weeks. Expedited options available.
