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
