Determination of Anions in an Amine Solution Using the IONUS Ion Chromatograph
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.
The presence of these anions can lead to several detrimental effects, including:
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.
The Determination of DEA (Diethanolamine) in Refinery Boiler Water Systems Using the IONUS Ion Chromatograph
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.
Diethanolamine (DEA) is a commonly employed water treatment chemical used to prevent scale and corrosion in boiler systems. Accurate and reliable determination of DEA concentration is essential for optimizing boiler water treatment regimens. DEA is an organic compound that contains both an alcohol group and an amine group attached to a backbone of two carbon atoms.
Traditional methods for DEA analysis often suffer from limitations in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and time efficiency. Additionally, the literature states that DEA is not easily detected, and not sensitive when analyzed by IC with Conductivity Detection. Although that may be true for other IC systems, the IONUS both separates and detects DEA, making it quite useful for the analysis of DEA and breakdown products for boiler water testing.
