Information on acid gas solubility in solvents utilized is needed for the design of gas plants. A mathematical model for the prediction of equilibrium solubility of CO 2 and H 2 S in aqueous 2‐amino‐2‐(ethoxy)ethanol (DGA) solutions is presented. The equilibrium constants, K 1 and K 2 , representing a simple proton transfer reaction and the carbamate formation reaction, respectively, were found to be functions of temperature and free acid gas concentration. In addition, K 2 , was affected by DGA concentration as well. Model predictions agree favourably with experimental data.
