As you know amine systems may be contaminated by various sources. The complete MDEA test has been performed and unlikely some of the anions were so high in our system. I am looking for the disadvantages and effects of Acetate presence (around 3000 ppm) in our MDEA loop which may prove the HSS formation and amine degradation in our case. However in some references i found that the acetic acid presence may help the MDEA to be easily stripped from H2S. Furthermore our amine plant suffers from sever corrosion which mostly observed in regenerator column (the parts that are in contact with gas).
I would be delighted if anyone could help me in this regard.
