Basically, this study revealed the relationship of changing the concentration of MDEA will change its ability to overcome the variation of H2S concentration. The decreasing of MDEA concentration will increase the ability of MDEA to absorp the H2S. But, this process will decrease the ability of MDEA to absorp the CO2. Then after the regeneration process of MDEA there will be less of dissolved CO2 in MDEA. The decreases of dissolved CO2 in MDEA will increase the ability of MDEA to cope with varying concentrations of H2S. Hence, maintaining the concentration of MDEA in optimum condition will generate the effective absorption or removal of H2S.
