MPR Services

MPR Services enhance gas treating systems in refineries, gas plants, ammonia plants, steel manufacturing and LNG facilities. We supply technically advanced mobile and permanently installed equipment, patented processes, and analytical services for cleaning and recovery of gas treating solutions with a corresponding economic and environmental improvement in plant operations.

MPR offers comprehensive solutions to
problems in the following processing areas:

Gas Treating Systems - Alkanolamine cleaning using ion-exchange. We process a slipstream of the lean solvent, removing the heat stable salts ions. Depending on the specific degradation product, MPR's technology removes (e.g. amino acids) or recovers the solvent (e.g. formamides and oxazolidones). Primary benefits include increased acid gas handling capacity, more stable operating conditions, reduced corrosion and diminished amine consumption. These services are available with either a mobile unit or a permanent unit. MPR provides the following technologies to address the common challenges facing amine systems.

  • HSSX® (Ion Exchange Heat Stable Salt Removal Process)
  • SSX™ (Regenerable Suspended Solids Removal Process)
  • HCX™ (Regenerable Hydrocarbon Removal Process)
  • SigmaPure™ (Foam Abatement Process)

Our Heat Stable Salts, Hydrocarbons and Solids removal processes are used in other types of gas treating solutions, including glycols and sulfolane.

MPR's Glycolex™ Process - Removes both cation and anion contaminants from common glycols, including mono-ethylene glycol, di-ethylene glycol, tri-ethylene glycol, di-glycol amine and tetra-ethylene glycol.

MPR's OXEX™ Process - Converts oxazolidones (degradation product) back to valuable amine resulting in decreased production costs with generation of environmentally friendly waste, a benefit of all of our processes.

Caustic Treaters, MPR's MPRox™ Process - Is an efficient chemical oxidation process for the on-site treating of spent caustics. The MPRox process reduces harmful toxins and odor precursors in your spent caustic, including sulfidic, naphthenic and cresylic, into a biodegradable stream that is conducive for processing in a conventional wastewater treatment plant.

Sour Water Treating Systems - MPR offers its SWAT™ Program for the abatement and cleanup of sour water. Either mobile or installed, these units work in parallel with existing Sour Water Stripping Equipment to handle excess load or particularly onerous water streams.

Cyanide Control, Our Cyntrol® Program - Decreases the possibility of cyanide assisted corrosion while significantly reducing the potential for free cyanide in the refineries wastewater effluent. MPR performs a unique on-site analysis of free cyanide levels to optimize the Cyntrol® (brand of ammonium polysulfide, APS) cyanide control system. Due to the reactive nature of free cyanide, this on-site program is valuable to the refinery in the diagnosis and follow-up recommendations to efficiently and economically adress this issue. MPR and its parent, Tessenderlo Kerley, is the world's largest supplier of APS for the scavenging of fugitive cyanide.
