DELTA-THERM™ LD
(liquid desiccant)
DELTA-THERM LD is a chemically engineered triethylene glycol-based liquid desiccant developed for natural gas dehydration systems. Formulated with a proprietary blend of organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors that will protect critical system components, enhance fluid stability, and offer extended service life compared to uninhibited or recycled triethylene glycol. Unique benefits of DELTA-THERM LD include:
Higher Reserve Alkalinity: effectively buffers the solutions pH and minimizes the impact of organic acids produced by the degradation of triethylene glycol during the regeneration phase.
Exceptional Saturation Properties: provides excellent dew point depression and enhanced hydrocarbon separation.
Unmatched Corrosion Protection: safeguards carbon steel system components from the corrosive effects of organic acids and impurities in the gas stream.
Typical Application:
- Natural Gas Dehydration
PROTOCOL® MEG-80
(JT stripping plant)
Formulated for natural gas Joule-Thompson (JT) stripping plants, MEG-80 is a premixed blend of 80% ethylene glycol, a complex corrosion inhibitor package, and deionized water which provides freeze point depression to -50°F, and burst protection to <-100°F.
Contains a blend of organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors designed to buffer the glycol, passivate liquid-phase metal surfaces, increase reserve alkalinity and stabilize the pH to ensure system metals are protected from the corrosive effects of organic acids and corrosive ions.
Typical Application:
- Natural Gas Stripping Plant
