Abstract

Gas alam yang diolah memiliki kandungan pengotor berupa karbon dioksida (CO2) dan hidrogen sulfida (H2S) yang cukup tinggi, pengotor tersebut perlu dihilangkan karena dapat merusak peralatan, mengganggu pengendalian proses, membahayakan lingkungan serta menurunkan nilai bakar (heating value) gas alam yang akan dijual. Oleh karena itu sebelum didistribusikan dilakukan proses pemurnian gas alam pada Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU) dengan absorpsi menggunakan absorben MDEA (UCARSOL AP 814)/amine. Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui jumlah kandungan CO2 dan H2S yang terkandung dalam absorben yang telah diregenerasi melalui pengujian acid gas loading lean amine. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian dan perhitungan didapatkan nilai total acid gas loading lean amine dari AGRU sebesar 0,0429 mol acid gas/mol amine sampai 0,0833 mol acid gas/mol amine, hasil pengujian tersebut melebihi spesifikasi yang telah ditetapkan yaitu 0,015 mol acid gas/mol amine. Hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa kekuatan amine untuk proses absorpsi kurang optimal sehingga dapat menurunkan efektivitas absorbsi.
