Anti-Foaming Agent — Gas processing

Description

1. Product Overview
This specialized anti-foaming agent is a non-ionic, silicone-based defoamer engineered specifically for gas processing environments. It rapidly collapses foam in amine contactors and glycol regenerators, preventing solution loss, off-spec gas, and unplanned shutdowns. With rising global gas demand and tighter operational margins, this product is a mission-critical consumable for reliable, cost-efficient gas treatment.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: 100% active polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with hydrophobic silica

• Purity level: >99.5% active solids; zero hydrocarbon diluents

• Physical characteristics: Clear to translucent liquid; viscosity 1,000–1,500 cP at 25°C; density 0.97–0.99 g/cm³

• Packaging options: 200 kg drums, 1,000 kg IBC totes, bulk isotanks

• Shelf life: 24 months in original sealed container (5–40°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Natural gas sweetening (amine units – MDEA, DEA, MEA): Prevents foaming due to suspended solids, degradation products, or entrained hydrocarbons — maintaining H₂S/CO₂ removal efficiency.

• Gas dehydration (TEG, EG units): Eliminates foam from organic acids and dissolved salts, reducing glycol losses by up to 40%.

• Sour gas compression & separation: Minimizes liquid carryover into downstream pipelines and compressors.

• Performance advantage: Works at low ppm dosages (5–20 ppm active), disperses instantly without affecting amine or glycol chemistry, and withstands temperatures up to 150°C — outperforming oil-based or EO/PO defoamers in thermal stability.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch ISO 9001:2025 control; each shipment validated via FTIR and viscosity profiling.

• Supply reliability: Dual manufacturing sites (Americas & MENA) with 24/7 dispatch and inventory buffer ≥30 days.

• Price competitiveness: Direct-from-producer pricing with no performance trade-offs — 15–20% lower TCO vs. major chemical brands.

• Sustainability: Non-bioaccumulating formulation; fully compatible with amine reclaiming and glycol filtration systems.

• Technical support: Full SDS, application note library, and on-call process engineering support for dosing optimization.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): 20 MT (bulk)

• Loading capacity per 20FT container: 18 MT (IBC totes) or 20 MT (isotank)

• BULK order minimum: 20 MT (flexitank or road tanker)
