GirhotolAmine Process. This process developed by the Girdler Corporation is similar in operation to the alkali carbonate processes. However, it uses aqueous solutions of an ethanolamine, ie, either mono-, di-, or triethanolamine. The operation of the Girbotol process depends on the reversible nature of the reaction of CO2 with monoetbanolamine [141-43-5] to form monoethanolamine carbonate [21829-52-7]. 

Invented in 1930 by R. G. Bottoms at the Girdler Corporation, Louisville, KY. In 1950 it was the most commonly used process for removing hydrogen sulfide from refinery and natural...

Girdler (1) A process for removing acid gases from gas streams by scrubbing with aqueous triethanolamine. Developed by the Girdler Corporation, Louisville, KY, in the 1920s. See also Girbotol. 

The first plant of this type, designed by the Girdler Corporation and operated by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, built at the Wabash Ordnance Plant at I ina, Indiana, in 1952 but later shut down, gave this process the name the G-S process, for Girdler-Sulfide. Three improved units, each with a capacity of 160 MT/year, were designed, built, and operated by du Pont at Aiken, South Carolina [B2] one is still in operation at a reduced capacity of 69 MT/year.
