Total Amine Solutions - Supporting refineries & biorefineries on the path to sustainable operations

Improving Refinery Operations & Profitability

Modern refineries must combine high operational efficiency with increasingly stringent regulatory and environmental requirements. Reducing pollutant emissions, lowering the carbon footprint, and optimizing resource consumption – such as water and energy – are now key challenges for plant managers.

Additionally, shifting fuel markets and the growing importance of low-emission fuels, such as HVO and SAF, directly impact the profitability and operational compliance of the entire facility.

One of the critical areas is the amine units, which are responsible for removing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and mercaptans (collectively referred to as acid gases) from process gas and liquid hydrocarbon streams. They protect catalysts, enable sulfur recovery, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
An underperforming amine unit can lead to solvent losses, operational instability, higher energy costs, and even product quality issues.

Therefore, the transformation of refineries toward sustainability is not just a necessity – it is a real opportunity for long-term competitiveness.

We understand these challenges and are here to support you.
