Description
Diethanolamine (DEA) is a secondary amine widely used in refinery gas treating units for removing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from hydrocarbon streams. Accurate DEA monitoring is essential for tracking solvent strength, managing thermal degradation products, and detecting tramp amine migration into downstream crude distillation and sour water systems.
Corrosion Mitigation in Refinery Units
When DEA contaminates refinery crude units, it forms corrosive amine hydrochloride salts in overhead exchangers. On-site optical analysis delivers instant concentration readings, enabling rapid response to amine slippage and protecting critical metallurgy.
Fast On-Site Spectroscopy vs. Laboratory Delays
The OndaVia Diethanolamine Analysis Kit (Analyte Code: B015) delivers rapid on-site quantification across trace ppm levels and high percent concentrations without hazardous chemical reagents or slow external lab turnaround.
