NEUTRALIZER
The IFO neutralizer is created to control the pH level and prevent the deposits formation
in the crude distillation overhead system.
NEUTRALIZING AMINES
MOPA
IFO 3-methoxypropylamine
DMAPA
IFO dimethylaminopropylamine
NH3 – ammonia
EDA – ethylenediamine
MEA – monoethanolamine
CGA - cyclohexylamine
DEA - diethanolamine
Morpholine
There are many amines that can effectively neutralize acids, but the choice of process chemicals is a complex integrated task that must take into account many important factors, including:
toxicity not lower than hazard Category 3;
resistance to the formation of deposits of amine salts;
handling up to -60 ° C, taking into account the harsh climatic conditions of the Russian Federation.
Monoethanolamine (MEA), Cyclohexylamine (CHA) and Methoxypropylamine (MOPA) are widely used in the oil refining industry. But there are several limitations:
MONETHANOLAMINE
(MEA)
• It has an increased tendency to form insoluble salt deposits, which requires careful monitoring of its use.
• It belongs to the hazard Category 2.
cyclohexylamine
(CHA)
• It has an increased tendency to form insoluble salt deposits, which requires careful monitoring of its use.
• It belongs to the hazard Category 2.
METHOXIPROPYLAMINE
(MOPA)
• The practice of using MOPA has not revealed a single limitation.
NEUTRALIZATION REACTION
R – [NH2] + HCl = R – [NH3]+Cl–
The following table shows the amines freezing points and toxicity data in accordance with the Russian standard for threshold limit value (TLV) and the Europian Chemical Agency database (ECHA) database for acute toxicity:
IFOTOP strives to ensure uncompromising quality and safety of reagents. Therefore, we offer neutralizing compounds based on MOPA.
