Glycol Analysis

Dehydration Experts has world class laboratory analysis and evaluation capabilities to undertake a complete study of glycol samples. This information is required to properly evaluate and troubleshoot the performance of the dehydration or refrigeration system. When these analyses are carried out on a regular basis, a very valuable operating history is established, which significantly aids troubleshooting and measuring unit performance.

Analyses Include:

• Glycol concentration
• Water content
• Alkalinity (% as amine bound in solution)
• GC analysis of the solvent (to identify degradation products)
• Total Suspended Solid content
• Chloride content
• Hydrocarbon content
• pH
• Visual Appearance
• Recommended Limits for all components
• Foam test

Additional analyses available:

• Metal Scan (Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni, K, Na)
• Ion chromatographic (IC) analysis of all organic and inorganic acids

Dehydration Experts’ analysis report includes:

• GC Analysis of all components;
• Physical observation of sample;
• Comments on the significance of the results; and
• Target values for all parameters.
