Heat Stable Salts (HSSs) Affecting the Foam Tendancy of the Amine Solvent
The fundamentals of chemistry can help us to understand why heat stable salts (HSSs) make an amine solution more prone to foaming. Foaming is one of the operational issues that can reduce the ability of an amine to capture the CO2.

Internal Calibration Standard Curve for Amine Concentration Determination
This post, we explain how the concentration of an unknown amine is determined using the internal standard curve method which is known to help reduce run to run/day to day inconsistency, thus improving the analysis accuracy.

What Happens when 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2?
In our previous post, we looked at the physical aspect of the volume addition of two different solvents. In this post, we shall review the chemical aspect.

Did you know that 1 + 1 is not always 2?
When 250 mL of water is added to 250 mL of water or when 250 mL of alcohol is added to 250 mL of alcohol, the final volume will always be 500 mL, as expected. However, when the same water is added to an equal volume of alcohol, the final volume is about 10% less than the original volume of the two liquids. How?

AMP and MEA Carbamate Stability Comparison
In this post, we explain why carbamate of sterically hindered AMP is unstable relative to that of MEA. The instability of AMP carbamate then leads to an easy break down to release CO2 and amine in the desorption process, thus giving rise to a higher CO2 loading and a lower desorption heat requirement than those of MEA.
