Chloride contamination of amines in contact with stainless steel creates a well known potential for stress corrosion cracking (SCC). A far less recognized hazard of chloride contamination, when sulfides are present, is drastically accelerated generated corrosion. Chloride induced corrosion can be avoided with an inlet gas reverse flow coalescer and an inlet slug catcher to knock out brine bearing produced water. If the amine is already contaminated with chlorides, steps can be taken to minimize this type of corrosion such as better amine filtration, amine reclamation, and using stainless steel with higher nickel contents.
