Traitement des gaz par les amines
Le traitement des gaz par les amines désigne un procédé de séparation de mélanges gazeux utilisant des solutions aqueuses d'amines pour retirer des gaz acides comme le sulfure d'hydrogène () et le dioxyde de carbone () de mélanges gazeux. Il s'agit de procédés courants dans l'industrie chimique. Les amines les plus utilisées sont la diéthanolamine (DEA), l'éthanolamine (MEA), la N-méthyldiéthanolamine (MDEA), la diisopropylamine (DIPA) ou la diglycolamine (DGA).
Associated petroleum gas
Associated petroleum gas (APG), or associated gas, is a form of natural gas which is found with deposits of petroleum, either dissolved in the oil or as a free "gas cap" above the oil in the reservoir. The gas can be utilized in a number of ways after processing: sold and included in the natural-gas distribution networks, used for on-site electricity generation with engines or turbines, reinjected for secondary recovery and used in enhanced oil recovery, converted from gas to liquids producing synthetic fuels, or used as feedstock for the petrochemical industry, but much of it worldwide is flared.
Liquefaction of gases
Liquefaction of gases is physical conversion of a gas into a liquid state (condensation). The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperatures, using, for example, turboexpanders. Liquefaction processes are used for scientific, industrial and commercial purposes. Many gases can be put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling; a few, such as carbon dioxide, require pressurization as well.
