Products Description
The lean amine particulate filter is engineered for reliable particulate removal in amine gas treating systems. It protects downstream equipment-such as heat exchangers, contactors, and reclaimers-from scale, corrosion, and fouling by capturing solids as small as 5 µm.
Key features
High Dirt-Holding Capacity
Multi-layer mesh design traps more debris before reaching final pressure differential.
Thermal Stability
Rated for continuous operation up to 120 °C without media degradation.
Low Pressure Drop
Optimized pleat geometry ensures minimal ΔP across element at rated flow.
Versatile End Fittings
Compatible with all major OEM housings for drop-in replacement.

Success Stories
Case1: Midwest Gas Plant (USA)
Challenge: Frequent fouling of heat exchangers leading to weekly shutdowns.
Solution: Installed 8 × 10 µm lean amine particulate filters in series.
Result: Extended exchanger cleaning intervals from 7 to 45 days; annual savings $180 k.
Case2: European Refinery
Challenge: Amine reclaimers clogged by iron sulfide fines.
Solution: Upgraded to 5 µm amine filter cartridges with Viton seals.
Result: Reclaimer uptime improved by 22%, reducing reagent usage by 15%.
FAQ
Q: Will the media degrade in hot MDEA?
A: Our primary media is specifically formulated for long-term thermal and chemical stability in common amines up to 120°C. We provide compatibility charts.
Q: How often should I change elements?
A: Depend on contamination load. Monitor differential pressure (dP). We recommend changeout at 35-40 psid dP across the vessel. Typical runs range 3-12 months.
Q: Can you handle high FeS loads?
A: Absolutely. Our depth loading design excels at capturing large volumes of fine FeS sludge common in systems with corrosion issues.
