DEA Thermal Degradation Temp.?

[27may2002]

Hi everybody,

I am going to design a Hot Oil system for our DEA reboiler of a stripper column in an NGL plant.To reduce circulatin rate of heating medium I am thinking to use HM with a high temp.However I am worried about thermal degradation of DEA due to high skin temp.(Bulk temp. of amine is 252F).
Does anyone knows what is the maximum recommended skin temp in a DEA reboiler?
