Amine gas treating & carbon capture
MaximaLabs vs ProTreat
A modern, browser, AI-assisted front-end for amine/CCS screening — fast configuration studies inside the whole plant, ahead of a rigorous rating.
ProTreat (Optimized Gas Treating) is the mass-transfer rate-based amine-treating authority, with columns validated against decades of proprietary plant and pilot data — a real moat for final design. MaximaLabs is a modern, browser-based, AI-assisted rate-based amine tool at screening-to-intermediate fidelity, integrated into a full plant flowsheet, for fast configuration studies before a rigorous check.
An honest comparison
Where ProTreat is genuinely stronger
- Mass-transfer rate-based amine columns validated against decades of proprietary plant/pilot data
- The reference tool for rigorous sour-gas and CO2-capture amine design and final rating
Where MaximaLabs wins
- Browser + AI copilot + live collaboration, usage-based pricing
- Rate-based amine (MDEA/PZ, CO2 + H2S) inside a full plant flowsheet, not a standalone column
- Fast screening across solvent, loading, and configuration options
The honest positioning
Being straight about the wedge is the point.
Honest scope: MaximaLabs' amine model is screening-to-intermediate, not a claim to beat ProTreat's validated proprietary databank. Use it to explore amine/CCS configurations fast, in the browser, as part of the whole plant; use ProTreat for the final rigorous rating.
