If you want cleaner amine • To reduce foaming and other problems

with towers in your amine unit• To extend the time between element

changes• To capture and retain shear sensitive

deformables and contaminants common to amine

• To extend the life of your carbon bed• To reduce the pressure drop over the life

of the elements

And your conditions meet the following:• Using a 6” X 39” element with 226 double

O ring seal • Amine temperature <180º F• Filter rating is between 1 and 100 microns

The ergonomic end caps are thermally sealed to the filter media and require no glue.

Amine Unit in Midwest Refinery

The pleated element used by the refiner did not effectively remove hydrocarbon contaminants. An oil sheen was left in the amine and the refiner was changing the elements more frequently than desired. When the pleated elements were removed from service, the outer netting was looseand had even separated from the end cap in at least one location. These elements were replaced with the GOLDXtream element with comparable efficiency. The PEACH® GOLDXtream element lasted about 30% longer thanthe pleated element that the refiner had been using. The GOLDXtream element also removed hydrocarbon contaminants in the first stage of the filter and eliminated the sheen in the amine.

Absorbs Hydrocarbons Without BlindingWhy did the GOLDXtream last longer and improve the filtration?

The GOLDXtream is a depth style cartridge with gradient density layers custom designed for amine service. This means larger contaminants are re-tained by outer layers while smaller contaminants are blocked at the inner layers. This construction allows hydrocarbons and other deformable contaminants to migrate through the element media and be trapped within one of the three Filtration Zones without premature plugging. Therefore optimal contaminant loading is achieved.

GOLDXtream utilizes PEACH® GOLD Technology

developed for EXTREME applications such as filtering

amine and glycol. This unique product contains three

complex filter zones (figure 1). Zone 1 contains as many

as four engineered filter media that are interlaid in a

conical helix stucture creating radial, axial, and helical

flow patterns (figure 2) trapping large particles and

absorbing immiscible hydrocarbon. Zone 2 (The Shock

Zone) is the anular pocket between Zone 1 and 2. This

area creates a dynamic shock that kinetically challenges

contaminants and rectifies the fluid flow as it enters the

final zone of EXTREME filtration. Zone 3 is constructed

of as many as four engineered filter media with smaller

fibers designed to trap the smallest and most elusive of

the targeted contaminants.

GOLDXtream truly takes amine filtration to its

EXTREME. By exploiting the effective surface areas

of up to eight different media and millions of

carefully selected fibers, all filtration mechanisms

are at work including sieving, impaction, and

diffusion. The unique structure created with PEACH®

GOLD Technology adds dimensions to filtration such as

simultaneous axial, radial, and helical flow patterns and

shock zones. This extraordinary product challenges the

most EXTREME contaminants and is engineered to

provide longer on-stream life with low or differential

pressure and greater contaminant removal

capabilities than similar products.

Cartridge is the Solution
