Hello,
some weeks ago I had been utilising ProTreat in order to model a 10 years old DGA plant which I am now responsible for (H2S + CO2).
Although I tried hard to input the correct columns and operating data, "lean loading" did not fit to the plant data, actually ProTreat calculates 3 time more H2S in lean DGA. This has as a consequence the sweet gas spec to be violated as well, I mean in the model.
Trick: if I add to the "amine stream" some HSS (lets say 2% wt) it seems it fixes this discrepancy between real and simulation data.
Currently I am considering to send amine sample to a Lab specialised in amines analysis to see if this is the case (personally I do not believe it since DGA reclaimer works pretty hard as well). My question is, since said software is quite "rigid" with no "adjustment" options in order to force the model match the reality (and thats I love it), the "trick" I used with HSS is a good thinking or my model will be not predictive if some parameters change in the future.
Thank you.
