Abstract
A large variety of impurities in refinery gas amine treating systems have been implicated as corrosion causing agents in these systems. Success and failure experience from several refinery amine treating units is presented to demonstrate the significance of these impurities as well as the role of lean amine H2S loading. Some limited laboratory testing data are presented. The need for additional data is highlighted.
