Description
Monoisopropanolamine (MIPA, 1-Amino-2-propanol) is an alkanolamine used as a neutralizing agent, gas sweetening promoter, and chemical intermediate. In refinery crude units, tramp MIPA forms corrosive hydrochloride salts that deposit in atmospheric tower overhead lines and condensation zones.
Crude Overhead Salt Deposition Prevention
Because traditional titration cannot distinguish MIPA from other basic nitrogen species, compound-specific Raman optical analysis provides refinery engineers with the exact data needed to pinpoint tramp amine ingress and optimize desalter wash efficiency.
Fast On-Site Spectroscopy vs. Laboratory Delays
The OndaVia Monoisopropanolamine Analysis Kit (Analyte Code: B054) provides rapid on-site optical testing across ppm and percent levels in under 5 minutes.
