5.  SOUR WATER STRIPPING UNIT
Sour water generated from
Upstream and Downstream
units of Refinery.
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and
Ammonia (NH3) are Toxic
Components that are Present in
Sour Water. These toxic
components should be removed
from Sour Water before reused
the water in plants or Drain.

11. Nitrogen Blanketing And PRV
Tank Blanketing system was introduced by
(ACE) Appalachian Controls Environmental
in 1970. Now this Closed Tank Blanketing
System used in the Globe.
Nitrogen Gas (N2) are mostly used in Tank
Blanketing System.
The Purpose of Tank Blanketing are ,
• To prevent contact with oxygen and as
a way to avoid potentially hazardous
conditions.
• Maintain positive pressure

12.  Oil Floating Skimmer
Oil Suction Floating Skimmer
Installed in Buffer Tank for Collecting
Separated Oil and Hydrocarbons in
Tank.
Skimmer Float in Tank on Different
Operating Level.
Separated Oil Collected in Oil
Collection Header through Suction
Floating Skimmer and then Drain in
Close Drain System.

13.  AMINE
Amine Unit is a Sour Gas Treating Unit
Where's we convert Sour Gas into
Sweet Gas for Re-use Purpose. This
Process is know as Gas sweating
process. Feed of Amine unit are comes
from ISOM HDS REFORMER Plants.
Sour Gas which consists of Hydrogen
Sulfide (H2S) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
At Amine Plant we use various
Alkyamines to remove H2S and CO2
from Sour Gas.

16. AMINE PROCESS DESCRIPTION
• Sour gas enters to Scrubber for Removing Oil Particles.
• After that Sour gas routed to Amine Contactor.
• In Amine Contractor Lean Amine Come from Top of Trays.
• Lean Amine Absorb H2S & Co2 from Sour Gas and become the Rich Amine.
• After that H2S free Gas (Sweet Gas) out from Top of Amine Contractor to Knockout Drum.
• In Knock Out Drum any Possible amine Particles retained and the Sweet Gas Routed to
Gas Gathering.
• Rich Amine then will be draw from Bottom of Contractor to Rich Amine Flash Drum.
• Rich Amine Flash Drum Remove H2S from Rich Amine through Pressure Swing.
• H2S routed to Acidic Flare on Top of Rich Amine Flash Drum.
• After that rich amine Routed to amine Regenerator where use Heat and Steam as
Stripping of H2S.
• H2S Routed to acidic Flare and Bottom of Regenerator Lean amine Received.
• After that Lean amine Routed to Storage Vessel goes through Exchanger and Condenser.
• Cycle Complete. We use Lean Amine in amine Contractor for Removing H2S Continuously.
