Amine solutions are vital in capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial flue gases. This captured CO2 can be utilized for various purposes, contributing to a more sustainable future. However, the efficiency of Amine-based CO2 capture can be significantly impacted by the presence of anion contaminants.
These anionic impurities, such as chloride and sulfate, can originate from the makeup water used in the capture process or from the degradation of the Amine itself. Therefore, monitoring and analyzing the concentration of anions in Amine solutions is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring the environmental sustainability of CO2 capture process.
Optimizing Boiler Performance: IONUS Ensures Precise Measurement of Ionic Contaminants in Boiler Water
Maintaining optimal boiler water chemistry is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The membraPure IONUS Ion Chromatograph stands as a vital tool for power plants and industrial boiler facilities by providing accurate and reliable measurements of ionic contaminants.
Given the high pressures, temperatures, and aggressive water chemistry in power plant boilers, effective corrosion inhibition is crucial. A well-designed corrosion control program using a variety of chemical treatments, with corrosion inhibitors playing a key role in protecting boiler tubes, headers, drums, and other critical components from corrosion damage, should be regularly monitored. These corrosion inhibitors help minimize the harmful effects of dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other corrosive substances in the water-steam cycle.
The IONUS excels at separating and quantifying these ionic impurities, allowing for proactive monitoring and control of boiler water chemistry. Furthermore, the IONUS boasts an innovative automated cleaning system. Between analyses, the system can be programmed to automatically flush the separation column and suppressor. This ensures consistently low background noise, minimizes the risk of sample carryover and contamination and maintains reliable peak separation for every sample. This translates to dependable data, empowering operators to make informed decisions regarding water treatment strategies and ensure the safe and efficient operation of their boilers.
The IONUS Ion Chromatograph is well-positioned to provide accurate and reliable measurements of ionic contaminants, ionic control chemistries, volatile amines, and film-forming compounds to help in the control of the boiler chemistries. The IONUS can measure chloride, phosphate, sulfite, sulfate, thiocyanate, and thiosulfate. Cationic species include sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Volatile amines include morpholine, diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, cyclohexylamine, and triethanolamine. IONUS can also be set up to measure several of the film-forming amines.
Alkanolamines, such as diethanolamine (DEA), are widely employed across various industries due to their versatile chemical properties. Their applications span from the production of consumer goods to critical industrial processes. In particular, the oil and gas industry heavily rely on alkanolamines for acid gas removal in refining and natural gas processing.
Boiler systems are critical components in industrial processes, particularly within refineries. Their efficient operation is paramount for maintaining production and minimizing downtime. A key aspect of boiler maintenance is water chemistry management, which significantly impacts boiler performance and longevity.

Demonstrating the IONUS Capability for Anion and Cation Analysis
Analytical assessments revealed that the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) are commonlyreported in pmol units, often without contextual connections to concentration levels or experimental conditions. The DIN 32645 method, a standard prevalent in German and European analytical frameworks but less recognized globally, has occasionally led to challenges in achieving universal understanding among stakeholders.
In contrast, the ICH method demonstrates greater international acceptance, enabling clearer communication across diverse technical audiences. To enhance accessibility and flexibility, we have adopted a dual-method approach, presenting data calculated using both DIN 32645 and ICH methodologies. This allows users to select the dataset that best aligns with their analytical preferences. Within the DIN framework, we have implemented two distinct determination techniques to ensure a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of results.
