INEOS methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) based products offer the most affordable and effective method for removing hydrogen sulfide (H2S),carbon dioxide (CO2), and other contaminants from gas streams.
GAS/SPEC specialty amines are proprietary formulations based on MDEA. GAS/SPEC specialty amines are formulated to meet your specific gas-treating needs and to provide a level of performance that other amines cannot match.
You can convert your existing amine units to GAS/SPEC products and achieve the level of acid gas removal you desire with lower energy consumption, higher capacity and lower maintenance costs.
More than 200 acid gas treatment plants in the natural gas processing, oil refining, ammonia production and chemical processing industries have been converted to GAS/SPEC specialty amines.
By ordering the right amine tailored to your treating needs, you can...
- Boost the capacity of your present plant... without a mayor capital investment
- Reduce energy consumption
- Control Maintenance and Capital Costs
Products
GAS/SPEC* CS-1* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC CS-1 specialty amine is a formulated MDEA (methyldiethanolamine) solvent designed for removal of H2S and CO2 from gas or liquid hydrocarbon streams. GAS/SPEC CS-1 is typically used in applications where low levels of CO2 are required in the treated gas.
GAS/SPEC CS-1 provides greater gas removal capacity per volume of circulating solution than generic amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA) or diethanolamine (DEA). GAS/SPEC CS-1 is less corrosive than generic amines and can be used at up to 50 weight % amine strength, which reduces amine circulation rate and energy usage. This translates into lower operating costs and increased capacity for existing equipment and reduced capital for new equipment.
Applications
- Natural Gas Treating
- LPG / NGL Treating
- Ethane Treating
- Bulk CO2 Removal
GAS/SPEC* CS-3* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC CS-3 Specialty Amine is specifically designed for near complete removal of H2S and moderate removal of CO2 from gas or liquid streams. This solvent is ideal for gas treating applications where some CO2 in the treated gas is desired. By allowing a portion of the CO2 to remain, GAS/SPEC CS-3 can increase the treating capacity or reduce the energy costs of the amine system with significantly less corrosion than diethanolamine (DEA) or monoethanolamine (MEA).
Applications
- Enhanced Oil Recovery
- Natural Gas Treating
- Bulk CO2 Removal
- LPG & NGL Treating
GAS/SPEC* CS-1000*
Description
GAS/SPEC CS-1000 is a methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) based solvent formulated to provide deep removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from gas processing applications. GAS/SPEC CS-1000 allows for greater CO2 removal capacity with superior chemical stability, lower corrosion and longer product life under extreme conditions than MEA (monoethanolamine) or DEA (diethanolamine). GAS/SPEC CS-1000 solvent should be considered mainly for applications in which the treated gas CO2 specification is less than 1000 ppmv. GAS/SPEC CS-1000 can be used to replace MDEA-piperazine blends in all applications.
Applications
- Hydrogen Plants
- Ammonia Plants
- Cryogenic Systems
- Ethane Treating
GAS/SPEC* CS-2000* Series Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC CS-2000 Series Specialty Amines are a methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) based solvent formulated to provide deep removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from gas streams. GAS/SPEC CS-2000 provides enhanced formulation stability over previous product alternatives in the market. By eliminating the preferential component loss that leads up to a buildup of impurities, it retains maximum CO2 removal capacity with lower energy requirements, lower corrosion, and longer product life even under extreme conditions. This translates into lower operating costs and less maintenance.
Applications
- Ammonia Plants
- Coal Seam Gas
- Bulk CO2 Removal from Natural Gas
- Hydrogen Plants
- Cryogenic Systems

GAS/SPEC* CS-Plus* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC CS-Plus Specialty Amine is specifically designed for maximum CO2 removal. Since it’s introduction in 1988, GAS/SPEC has proven to be one of the most cost effective solvent for CO2 removal in ammonia, hydrogen, and other gas processing plants. This solvent has allowed gas processors to increase gas throughput or reduce energy costs in existing facilities.
Applications
- Cryogenic Systems
- Coal Seam Gas Treating
- Ethane Treating
- Bulk CO2 Removal from Natural Gas
- Natural Gas Treating
GAS/SPEC* SS* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC SS Specialty Amine is an INEOS formulated MDEA (methyldiethanolamine) specifically designed for the gas treating industry. It selectively removes H2S over CO2 from a gas or liquid stream, which results in greater acid gas removal capacity per volume of circulating solution than amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and diisopropanolamine (DIPA). GAS/SPEC SS is less corrosive and less prone to degradation than MEA, DEA, or DIPA and it can be used at up to 50 weight % amine strength, which reduces amine circulation rate and energy usage. This translates into lower operating costs and increased capacity for existing equipment and reduced capital for new equipment.
GAS/SPEC SS has tigher sales specifications than generic MDEA and comes with the full range of GAS/SPEC services.
Applications
- Coal Gasification
- Tail Gas Treating
- LPG NGL Treating
- Acid Gas Enrichment (AGE)
GAS/SPEC* SS-3* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC SS-3 Specialty Amine is formulated for use in applications where selective removal of H2S from gas streams is required. GAS/SPEC SS-3 not only removes H2S to lower levels than MDEA (methyldiethanolamine) alone, but also improves CO2 slip. Increased selectivity for H2S over CO2 allows the plant to increase treating capacity, lower energy usage, and improve the quality of acid gas going to the sulfur plant.
The net results are lower costs and improved plant operations. The unique property of GAS/SPEC SS-3 allows this solvent to be used in applications where MDEA cannot achieve the required H2S specification.
Applications
- Natural Gas Treating
- Refinery Systems
- Acid Gas Enrichment (AGE)
GAS/SPEC* SS-4* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC SS-4 Specialty Amine is designed specifically for gas treating applications. This INEOS formulated MDEA (methyldiethanolamine) based product selectively removes H2S from gas streams, which also contain CO2. Reduced pickup of CO2 allows gas treating plants to process more gas or use less energy in existing equipment. GAS/SPEC SS-4 can be used at a 50% amine strength, which allows reduced amine circulation rates without the increased corrosion that may come with traditional amines.
Applications
- Natural Gas Treating
- Refinery Systems
- Acid Gas Enrichment (AGE)
GAS/SPEC* SRS* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC SRS Specialty Amine is formulated to achieve higher levels of total sulfur removal than generic MDEA (methyldiethanolamine). GAS/SPEC SRS is ideal for applications where carbonyl sulfide removal and moderate CO2 slip are required. GAS/SPEC SRS has low heats of reaction and low solution corrosivity, allowing gas processor and refiners to increase gas treating capacity and/or reduce energy costs.
Applications
- Natural Gas Treating
- LPG & NGL Treating
- Refinery Systems
GAS/SPEC* TG-10* Specialty Amine
Description
GAS/SPEC TG-10 Specialty Amine is specifically designed for meeting a 10 ppmv H2S specification in tail gas treating applications. GAS/SPEC TG-10 is ideal for meeting stringent regulatory requirements and reducing the final SO2 effluent associated with tail gas treaters. GAS/SPEC TG-10 can allow you to realize near 99.9% sulfur conversion. This product can help meet the lower specifications without the penalty of increased CO2 pickup so there is no reduction in sulfur plant capacity.
Applications
- Tail Gas Treating
