Refineries

Every refinery has an amine unit. That is where we start.

Refinery amine units treat fuel gas, LPG and off-gas on the same MDEA chemistry, with the same failure modes: foaming, fouling, corrosion and filter plugging. That is the unit the platform models today.

Same unit, same chemistrySame unit as the calibrated train.

The unit we model

The amine regeneration unit treating refinery fuel gas and LPG — typically several absorbers sharing one lean solvent loop and one regenerator.

What it finds

Foaming, absorber flooding, lean/rich exchanger fouling, reboiler scaling and corrosion, filter plugging and pump cavitation. Twenty-two named faults, each with the cause behind it.

What it protects

H₂S in fuel gas to the fired heaters, sulphur plant feed quality, solvent make-up, and every downstream unit that waits on treated gas.

Ten minutes in the platform beats an hour of slides.

It runs on a real amine train with thirteen days of one-minute history behind it — live diagnosis, root causes and cost per hour. Nothing on this page is a mock-up.
