Lab Testing and Analysis

Optimizing Your Amine Recovery, One Test at a Time

For gas plants and refineries aiming to optimize the performance and longevity of their Amine Recovery Units (ARUs), it is essential to ensure that amine solutions remain in optimal condition. Amine testing helps to identify contamination, maintain efficiency, and minimize operational issues that can affect overall performance and increase costs. Our lab services offer a comprehensive range of tests for amine samples, allowing clients to identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate.

Available Amine tests

Our cutting-edge laboratory delivers comprehensive analysis, utilizing industry-leading standards.

Detailed Amine Analysis

The Detailed Amine Analysis is a thorough evaluation of the amine solvent used in gas treating systems. It examines key parameters such as amine concentration, viscosity, heat stable salts, H₂S and CO₂ loadings, ash content, pH, metal contaminants, water content, and foaming tendencies. These factors are crucial for preventing corrosion, foaming, and off-spec gas issues. The analysis identifies contaminants and solvent degradation, providing insights to optimize system performance and reduce downtime.

Amine Foam Testing

This test evaluates the foaming tendency of the amine sample and examines how different contaminants, such as surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers, and lube oils, affect foam height.

We can also analyze the effectiveness of anti-foam agents and their breaktime. The results help to recommend the best anti-foam agent for your system, minimizing foam-related inefficiencies.

Amine Material Compatibility Test

This test checks how different materials used in your plant—such as gaskets, coatings and seals—interact with the amine solution. Our laboratory will expose these materials to the amine solution under controlled conditions to assess their resistance to degradation or swelling, ensuring long-term compatibility.
