Amine Scrubbing
Defoamers
Foaming in amine units is an omnipresent threat. hydrocarbons penetration to amine solutions is a primary cause for foaming in amine scrubbing process. Foam carry-over in the absorber is a major system failure and should be avoided. AEROPEC high performance, high durable defoamers should be added at minor concentration to maintain a flawless process.
| Product | Features | Chemistry |
|---|---|---|
| AEROPEC 114 | Compatible for all amine systems using MEA, DEA, MDEA, DGA, etc. Quick foam knockdown and excellent durability at high temperatures | Siloxane compound |
| AEROPEC 117 | Compatible for all amine systems. Easy to use. Form good dispersion in medium. Excellent durability at high temperatures | Siloxane emulsion |
Biocides
Most detergents and cleaner found in households today are water-based systems. These products are prone to microbiological contamination and to be safe for consumers to use they require protection by preserving agents. When choosing a suitable preservative for a household product and cleaner there are various factors to consider – compatibility with other ingredients, pH value, legal approvals and climate conditions. A single active ingredient usually can not meet these demands alone. Metalub formulated In-can biocides portfolio offers reliable protection for household products, detergents, fabric softeners, manual dishwashing detergents or other chemical-technical preparations on water based formulations.
