Econamine A process for removing acid gases from natural gas by selective absorption in diglycolamine (also called [2-(2-aminoethoxy) ethanol], and DGA). Developed by the Fluor Corporation, the El Paso Natural Gas Company, and the Jefferson Chemical Company and widely used. Later versions, developed by Fluor Daniel International, include the Fluor Daniel Econamine and the Econamine FG processes. More than 30 units were operating in 1996. See also Aromex. 

Econamine FG [Flue gas] A process for removing carbon dioxide from flue-gases by dissolution in an aqueous solution of monoethanolamine and a proprietary corrosion inhibitor. Originally developed by the Dow Chemical Company under the designation Gas/Spec FT, the process was acquired in 1989 by the Fluor Corporation and is now licensed by that company. 

Fluor Solvent A process for removing carbon dioxide from natural gas and various industrial gas streams by dissolution in propylene carbonate. Carbon dioxide is much more soluble than other common gases in this solvent at low temperatures. The process cannot be used when hydrogen sulfide is present. The process was invented in 1958 by A. L. Kohl and F. E. Miller at the Fluor Corporation, Los Angeles. It is now licensed by Fluor Daniel. The first plant was built for the Terrell County Treating plant, El Paso, TX in 1960 by 1985, 13 plants were operating.

The main object of the rationalisation was to bring the US refined lead market back into balance, and to tailor mine output to the company s primary smelter requirements. Thus, after the restructuring, the Buick plant (which had been shut when Amax sold its 50 per cent stake to Homestake in May 1986) operated only on an intermittent basis (until its conversion to secondary production and reopening at reduced capacity in 1991), and Doe Run mine output was adjusted to match Herculaneum s requirements alone. Fluor Corporation, Doe Run s parent company, has now offered the firm for sale.
