Optimized Gas Treating, Inc. - Creators of ProTreat - Information

About Optimized Gas Treating, Inc.

Optimized Gas Treating, Inc. (OGT) was established in 1992 by Ralph Weiland and Jack Dingman with the intention of providing a commercial version of a Windows-based software package for simulating acid gas removal specifically with aqueous alkanolamines. The ProTreat software is distinguished by its exclusive use of a fundamental mass and heat transfer rate approach to column modeling and is gradually being expanded to include physical and hybrid solvents, as well as dehydration and sour water stripping. ProTreat is the culmination of more than 30 years of research in gas treating supported by government and industry in both academic and commercial environments. ProTreat is our sole product. Consequently, it receives our undivided attention in maintaining and enhancing its capabilities so that it remains the premier software package for gas treating with amines. OGT’s staff are recognized world experts in most aspects of gas treating — they offer a total of over 90 man-years of relevant experience.

Testimonials

"I've used ProTreat since its inception. The ultimate measure of software is my willingness to run a simulation in front of a client in an emergency troubleshooting situation, without any fear that I'll get bad information. To date, it hasn't let me down! "

Mike Sheilan

"We just trust the numbers - they've never been wrong."

International Consultant
Calgary, Alberta

"I have used ProTreat for the last 5 years or so and find it of great assistance in providing the technical detail that design engineers require. It is also very good in helping to understand and troubleshoot process problems in amine units."

Paul Garland
INEOS Oxide Ltd., UK

"Seeing the effect of heat stable salts is very beneficial in making reclaiming decisions."

Refinery Engineer
West Coast, USA

"ProTreat models CO2 slip and tail gas treaters extremely well. Very high reliability and far less design uncertainty."

Engineering Manager
Denver, Colorado

"ProTreat helped us to justify our new approaches in the field of hydrocarbons' amine desulfurization, acid gas enrichment and amine section of tail gas treatment units."

Dr. Tofik K. Khanmamedov
TKK Company

"A truly accurate piperazine model is a real edge."

LNG Plant Engineer
Australia

"It's uncanny how closely ProTreat matches good plant data. If I find a discrepancy between ProTreat and data coming from the plant, I always look to see what's wrong with the plant."

Consultant
Calgary, Alberta

"ProTreat, an easy to use program, was invaluable in predicting operations for two refineries requiring a temporary tie together of their primary and TGU amine systems saving the costs of unit shutdowns."
