JEFFTREAT® MP 442 is a specially formulated solvent based on methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) designed for use alongside our existing JEFFTREAT® MP solvent. It serves a crucial role in gas and liquid treating applications, particularly in instances where This product or a piperazine-activated product is already in use. It is also a valuable choice for applications that currently rely on MDEA or formulated MDEA solvents but demand a deeper and more effective removal of carbon dioxide (CO2). Such applications encompass a range of industrial settings, including hydrogen production facilities, ammonia plants, natural gas upgrading, and LNG production.

    Recommended Applications

    JEFFTREAT® MP-442 additive can be used for gas and liquid treating applications where JEFFTREAT® MP or a piperazine activated product is currently in use. It should also be considered for applications which currently use MDEA or formulated MDEA solvents, but require deeper COâ‚‚ removal such as:

    • Hydrogen Production Facilities.
    • Ammonia Plants.
    • Natural Gas Upgrading.
    • LNG Production.

    JEFFTREAT® MP-442 additive should be considered primarily for applications in which H2S is not present or applications in which the mole ratio of COâ‚‚ to Hâ‚‚S in the untreated gas is very high. Huntsman recommends that a process evaluation be performed prior to the addition of any JEFFTREAT® MP-442 to a system.

     

    Product Applications

    JEFFTREAT® MP solvent is formulated to provide deep removal of COâ‚‚ from gas processing applications, such as LNG pre-treatment plants, hydrogen production, ammonia manufacture and cryogenic gas processing.

    Storage & Handling

    Handling and Storage Information
    • The handling and storage of JEFFTREAT® MP-442 presents no unusual problems.
    • The additive properties and alkaline nature of JEFFTREAT® MP-442 should be considered when choosing materials of construction.
    • JEFFTREAT® MP-442 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 performs satisfactorily in amine service as well as materials made from polypropylene and TEFLON® elastomers.
    • 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 backwelded.
    • FLEXITALLIC® gaskets work well for flanged connections. For pumps, a Durametallic Type RO-TT mechanical seal, or equivalent is suitable.
