![Thumb_TA_A new look at amines EXTENDING THE GAS INDUSTRY  WORKHORSE  TO NEW LIMITS_2004_EN](https://resources.axens.net/hubfs/Thumb_TA_A%20new%20look%20at%20amines%20EXTENDING%20THE%20GAS%20INDUSTRY%20%20WORKHORSE%20%20TO%20NEW%20LIMITS_2004_EN.jpg)

When it comes to processing sour gas most operators would agree that the amines process is the "workhorse " of the gas processing industry. Today the experience, reliability and ready availability of low cost amines is the key to implementing sour gas treatment projects that will be cost effective to make on specification sales gas for many traditional sour gas treatment applications:

- Purifying natural gas for LNG feed
- Selective removal of H2S with a maximum slippage of CO2
- Bulk removal of acid gas for re-injection
