    Foaming of washing oil in steam stripper

    Hi, I'm a new hire, that works in the gas refining facility of a manufacturing plant. We scrub gas of organics using a type of washing oil and then strip the wash oil with steam. Recently we have started noticing the wash oil foaming quite a bit and are unsure what could be the cause. The only...

    Corrosion in glycol heating system

    I will look into O2 scavengers, if you can provide some options to help streamline my search, that would be helpful. In the case of the chlorides, would the use of an ion exchange resin specific to chlorides be applicable? Both from an ability to rid the system of chlorides and do it at a...

    Corrosion in glycol heating system

    George, perhaps there is a leak. I will look into. What would you suggest for the getting the system to a less corrosive state? Remove the chlorides? if so, how? add oxygen scavengers? The nitrogen blanket is likely too expensive to consider

    Corrosion in glycol heating system

    The system was flushed out last year and a new batch added. The fresh glycol, although has inhibitors in them, does not contain appreciable chlorides. And no corrosion inhibitors were added separately after the new glycol was put into the system. The inhibitors may be a source, but I don't...

    Corrosion in glycol heating system

    Here are some details. Corrosion inhibitors were added by the supplier, i know molybdenum is one of them. The temperature of the system can be 170 deg. F. The flow is approximately 80gpm. I believe it is 40% propylene glycol. There is a mechanical de-aerator in the system, but to ensure it was...

    Corrosion in glycol heating system

    Hi everyone, I'm looking after a propylene glycol heating system. There has been corrosion issues with the system since installation, particularly for the aluminium boilers. I had taken samples of the system and measured a ph of 8.5 and chlorides as high as 150ppm. No other contaminants i.e...
