The use of Triethanolamine (TEA) for pH control of teg 1

[Wildebeest]

Please advise on the degradation temperature of TEA at 0.6 Bara, which is being used to increase the pH of TEG from 4.5 to 7?

Should the reboiler operate at less than 200C

TEA is being used in lube furfural extraction units to cope with furfural degradation at temperatures of about 230 deg C without decomposition.
