JEFFTREAT® M is a clear, water-white to pale amber, hygroscopic liquid with an ammoniacal odor. It is used in tail gas treatment and hydrogen sulfide enrichment units for selectively removing hydrogen sulfide from gas streams containing carbon dioxide. In most cases, these units permit 60 to 80% of the carbon dioxide to remain in the treated gas stream.

    JEFFTREAT®M is available within the JEFFTREAT® product line. This solvent is for customers who choose to utilize generic methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) rather than a formulated MDEA solvent.

    Recommended Applications
    • The alkanolamines and their aqueous solutions will absorb carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide at lower temperatures and release the acid gasses at higher temperatures.
    • This forms the basis for processes which separate carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from gas streams.
    • JEFFTREAT® M solvent is used in tail gas treating and hydrogen sulfide enrichment units for selectively removing hydrogen sulfide from gas streams containing carbon dioxide.
    • These units will, in most cases, permit 60 to 80% of the carbon dioxide to remain in the treated gas stream.
    • JEFFTREAT® M solvent is also used in natural gas plants for the bulk removal of carbon dioxide while producing a gas stream containing 0.25 grains hydrogen sulfide/100 scf.
    • Bulk carbon dioxide removal can be realized with JEFFTREAT® M solvent when the CO2:H2S ratio ranges from 100 to 1,000.

    Storage & Handling

    Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
    • The product should retain its conformance to sales specifications for a period of at least two years after date of manufacture if the product is stored at less than 100°F in its undamaged, unopened, factory packaged container.
    • In general, the user should determine the suitability of any chemical compound, no matter what the shelf life or length of time of storage.
    • Each user should conduct a sufficient investigation to establish the suitability of any product for his intended use.
    • The handling and storage of JEFFTREAT M solvent presents no unusual problems.
    • The properties and alkaline nature of JEFFTREAT® solvents should be considered when choosing materials of construction.
    • JEFFTREAT® solvents should not be stored in tanks made from zinc, galvanized steel, or copper and its alloys since the solvent will react with copper to form complex salts.
    • Also avoid the use of elastomers such as Buna N, VITON® elastomer, neoprene, and nitrile as these materials tend to swell when exposed to the amine.
    • KALREZ® 1050 LF elastomer performs satisfactorily in amine service as well as materials made from polypropylene and TEFLON® elastomer.
    • A carbon steel storage tank, constructed according to a recognized code, is generally satisfactory.
    • Carbon steel transfer lines, joined by welds or flanges, are suitable.
    • Screw joints are subject to failure unless back-welded.
    • FLEXITALLIC® gaskets work well for flanged connections.
    • For pumps, a Durametallic Type RO-TT mechanical seal or equivalent is suitable.
