JEFFTREAT® MS-205

JEFFTREAT® MS-205 is part of the JEFFTREAT® MS-200 series, a group of clear, hygroscopic, and ammoniacal odor solvents based on methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). These formulated amines are designed for bulk removal of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from gas and gas-liquid streams. Suitable for applications involving natural gasses, refinery gasses, coal and waste gasification gasses, and petrochemical gasses, the JEFFTREAT® MS-200 series offers distinct performance advantages over traditional primary and secondary alkanolamines like monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA). These solvents provide economic benefits and can meet low carbon dioxide specifications, even in the presence of significant hydrogen sulfide.

    Storage & Handling

    Storage and Handling Information
    • The handling and storage of JEFFTREAT® solvents present no unusual problems.
    • The solvent 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® 1050LF 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.
       
    Shelf Life Information

    The product should retain its conformance to sales specifications for a period of at least two years after date of manufacture if the product is stored at less than 100°F in its undamaged, unopened, factory packaged container.
