JEFFTREAT® MP

JEFFTREAT® MP solvent is a methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)-based solvent formulated to provide deep removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from gas processing applications such as hydrogen production, ammonia manufacture, and cryogenic gas processing. Compared to ethanolamines (MEA and DEA) and ethanolamine-formulated solvents, JEFFTREAT® MP solvent allows deep CO2 removal with greater acid gas loading capacity, superior chemical stability even at high temperatures, corrosion protection, and longer product life under severe operating conditions. JEFFTREAT® MP bulk CO2 solvent also has higher reaction rates with CO2 than ethanolamine-based formulated MDEA solvents. Rapid reaction with CO2 allows JEFFTREAT® MP solvent to achieve very deep CO2 removal while retaining the characteristic of allowing deep regeneration.

Applications
Application Information
  • JEFFTREAT® MP bulk CO₂ solvent can be used for gas and liquid treating applications. It should be considered as an alternative for applications which currently use first generation primary or secondary alkanolamines such as MEA and DEA to remove CO₂. JEFFTREAT® MP solvent should also be considered for applications which currently use MDEA or formulated MDEA solvents, but require deeper CO₂ removal such as:
  1. Hydrogen Production Facilities
  2. Ammonia Plants
  3. Natural Gas Upgrading
  4. LNG Production.
  • JEFFTREAT® MP bulk CO2  solvent should be considered mainly for applications in which H2S is not present or applications in which the mole ratio of CO2 to H2S in the untreated gas is very high. Huntsman recommends that JEFFTREAT® MP solvent be used in concentrations of 40 to 50 wt% for optimum process efficiency.

Storage & Handling

Handling Precautions
  • The handling and storage of JEFFTREAT® M-505 solvent presents no unusual problems.
  • The properties and alkaline nature of JEFFTREAT® solvents should be considered when choosing materials of construction. JEFFTREAT® solvents should not be stored in tanks made from zinc, galvanized steel, or copper and its alloys since the solvent will react with copper to form complex salts. Also avoid the use of elastomers such as Buna N, VITON® elastomer, neoprene, and nitrile as these materials tend to swell when exposed to the amine. KALREZ® 1050 LF elastomer performs satisfactorily in amine service as well as materials made from polypropylene and TEFLON® elastomer.
  • A carbon steel storage tank, constructed according to a recognized code, is generally satisfactory. Carbon steel transfer lines, joined by welds or flanges, are suitable. Screw joints are subject to failure unless back-welded. FLEXITALLIC® gaskets work well for flanged connections. For pumps, a Durametallic Type RO-TT mechanical seal or equivalent is suitable.
